Tall Tales / Re: May flowers bring coffee, tea and grub
« Last post by The Trinity Kid on Today at 02:32:12 AM »Morning all.
Currently 105 degrees on the Dark Continent. They let me off shift early because I was “working too hard,” whatever that means. At the time I was reading through our Safety Data Sheets to make sure they were up to date. But I’ll take it.
Waiting for laundry to finish so I can put it away and take a shower, then off to catch some z’s.

The Longbranch / Re: Starting down the prostate cancer treatment road. Off to see the wizard.
« Last post by Baltimore Ed on Yesterday at 09:02:14 PM »Guys, 14 treatments done —14 to go, 3 more weeks. Modifying my diet has helped my gut issues.
We shot our BAMM today. I think we had 8 boltgunners and 4 cowboys. Shot it clean but still had a miss- a dead pistol primer. Doh. Came in 3rd boltgun category, had a real bad 1st stage with weak ejections and a loaded round that kinda got stuck and wouldn’t feed through my 1896 Krag SRC. Finally cleared it. I had chamber checked all of my loads but not run them through the magazine. My first match with it and I think I also wasn’t working the bolt hard enough to the rear as I was running it too fast. Did better on the other stages but I will check out the ejector. Used a pair of Smith .455 HE’s and my Norinco trench. Also tried my new Swede for the last stage. Nice day, good breeze, a fun shoot. Here’s Chance, Rico Fardan and myself in uniform. We dress the part.

RATS / Re: Need a Heavier Hammer spring for my New Vaquero
« Last post by DeaconKC on Yesterday at 08:16:07 PM »As unlikely as it sounds, I would look at the cylinder facing where the rim sets. If it somehow wound up a few thousandths off it might keep the hammer from striking properly.

The Longbranch / Re: It's Time.
« Last post by DeaconKC on Yesterday at 08:03:55 PM »No they're simply protecting themselves which millions of us do everyday. Not every teacher wants to be armed and no one is saying they HAVE TO! It's their choice! I know several teachers who would be more than happy to be able to carry on their job!Look how they found the two teachers in there, they had shielded the kids with their own bodies. They should have had the chance to protect not only the kids, but themselves.

The Winchester Model 1886 / Re: Wanting an '86
« Last post by Buckaroo Lou on Yesterday at 07:34:53 PM »I have two 1886 rifles. One is a Browning/Miroku saddle ring carbine and does not have the tang safety, and the other is a Winchester/Miroku in a short (24" barrel) Deluxe Sporting Rifle with tang safety and rebounding hammer. Both rifles are 45-70's and both are excellent shooters and I have never had an issue with either. I do not own but have looked at the Uberti rifles and they are very nice looking rifles. I do know the early Pedersoli rifles had issues but I believe they have since resolved their issues. I really like my Miroku rifles and would not think about trading them for the Italian rifles and if I did not have an 1886 I think I would still prefer the Miroku rifles. Their quality is excellent, and I think they have nicer looking wood than the Italian rifles.
I will say that I do not shoot BP in my 1886 rifles. I have a really good smokeless round worked up that both rifles shoot accurately and well.
