I have 2 G1 contender frames, a stainless and blued cougars head. I keep one in the pistol configuration and one in the rifle so I do not have to switch stocks. Both wear Tony Gettel custom stocks. I have the following barrels:
10" 22LR bull
10" 17 Mach 2 bull
21" 17 Ackley Hornet
21" 17...
Modern alloys helped do away with it also. The original selling point, beyond the better patterns, was the payload of a 12 in the weight of a 20. A gun that you could carry for upland all day.
I have 3 and they are the favorites of all my shotguns. Two zastava SxS, one english stocked with a silver receiver and the other has a prince of wales grip with a blued receiver. My third, which is my favorite and one of my prized possessions is a 1953 belgium made browning A5 that was my...
I have shot in clubs in several states. All have been welcoming to new shooters and spectators, just bring eye and ear protection. Most clubs have members that will offer to let you shoot their guns to try it out. Just go to a match.

Looking for a winchester or browning 1885 BPCR in 38-55. Could also possibly be interested in one of the Italian clones or a big timber montana gun. If you have a safe queen that has been languishing in the dark for too long I will give it a home on the range again.
thanks
found a rifle, no...
I use it in my T/C 50 cal. I load a 45 cal sabot over 80 grains. It is very accurate. Cleans up easy with hoppes. At the range after every shot I pull the breach plug and blow down the barrel. Every ten I run a wet patch down then a dry. I never get much if any fouling. It cleans up like a dirty...
I get my BP at Deer Creek Products, little shop south of indy. Deer Creek Products - Home Real tiny sign, if I hadn't of looked at the google street view to identify the shop I would of drove past it.
I made a run down to Deer Creek Products on Friday, picked up 2 pounds each of 1, 2, 3f goex, $19 a pound. Nice people, shop has no signage so if you do not know where you are going it is easy to miss. I recognized it from the google people view. They have a nice selection of muzzle loaders...
Any of you pards that shoot out at Paradise pass shoot the cowboy long range after lunch? What ranges and targets do they shoot? What are most people shooting (rifle and class)? In the SASS shooters handbook the long range rules do not mention weights for the buffalo class rifles, does PP...
****Found one****
Looking for a stevens favorite in 22. Would prefer one of the models with a half round/half octagon barrel. Wood must be intact, can have minor surface blemishes, no deep pitting.
thanks

Getting ready to order a 1874 sharps from Montana. I like the idea of the 45-110, but I know I will not like the recoil. I plan on using the rifle for a range gun and maybe shooting some BPCR matches. I currently load the black in pistol and shotgun. I know I can modify the load by either using...
