I play with the idea of getting a Mil Spec or Garrison, and perhaps having a good 1911 smith go through it. I think SA uses glued in ejectors though, and I’m not sure I’m down with that. I don’t know...

Is this a newly released Lipseys distributor exclusive? I’ve been wanting a .45 cal stainless flat top Blackhawk in 4&5/8” and this...
I decided to cancel the Uberti ‘73 order. I’ve been considering the fact that I want to primarily shoot factory .357 Magnum loads through a .357 lever gun, and I’m not sure the 73 would be the best...
I think today is the last day I can switch to getting the Winchester Miroku 92 instead of the Uberti 73. Reliability and durability (with replacement parts factoring into the ability to keep them...
The better availability of replacement parts and gunsmiths for the Uberti 73 are what tips me on that direction, it seems to perform reliable enough for those who shoot leverguns a good bit (at least...
I hope so. So it’s still possible for me to cancel the ‘73 and order the Winchester ‘92. That place I linked actually costs less than the Uberti/Cimarron for me.
If it really is the better more...

Would you recommend a Winchester (modern Miroku made) 92 over a Uberti 73? For reference, I don’t plan on loading up max .357 loads, it would primarily be normal factory stuff such as leverevolution...
I have the 1873 officially ordered, I am planning on running a box of Magnums through it as an initial vetting. I hope it likes American Eagle 158gr soft point. If anyone has any recommendations on...
I have a Cimarron (made by Uberti) 1873 Winchester on order in .357 Magnum. Actually, it's still possible to cancel the order but I think I'm making a decent choice, but I'm open to suggestions if...
I had purchased a hundred rounds of recent production Winchester Silvertip before I read about current QC issues (but I had experienced numerous QC issues with other Winchester loads). I actually...
I’ve been thinking about getting the TWS for my Arsenal SLR107F. I just wish I could keep the rear sight.
What railed dust cover are you using? TWS?
I’ve found myself almost exclusively shooting my 5.56 Polish FB Radom Beryl AKs over my 7.62x39 and 5.45 options. It’s gotten to the point where I feel bad shooting my Russian Barnaul ammo in...
I was shooting a Ruger Precision in 6.5 yesterday with a nice vortex scope that was perfectly dialed in with precision handloads... couldn't hit the steel at 300 yards, embarrassingly (gave up after...
Thank you that’s great to hear
Are there any new K/L/N frame Smiths coming in the same spirit as the UC?
I certainly will do. I'd much rather spend the money on ammo. I'd also love to find a receiver sight, though I don't know how to go about finding one.
I'm about 90% sure I'm going with the...
I always bring a toothbrush, CLP, and rag with me to the range when I’m shooting revolvers. I have typically stopped every 150 rounds or so to scrub the cylinder face, extractor star, forcing cone,...
I couldn’t tell you much on what I’ve heard about pistol caliber lever actions being more finicky. JLW has talked about it. I think it was mainly that sometimes .38 doesn’t play nice in a .357 lever...
The Mini 14 is on my short list as well, particularly for travel to certain states, though practical or not, I still want a reliable lever action rifle. Or more generally, a manually-operated rifle...
It's going to be a bit before I can take it out shooting again. I also have another 4" stainless GP100 on the way, and I'm going to simply run it through a 250rd vetting period to establish...
Now I've been looking at some of the customized Uberti 1873s some of the Cowboy Action Shooting guys have been pointing me towards. Longhunter with a short stroke kit and all sorts of other things...
I'm not necessarily looking at it as a end-of-rule-of-law type rifle, I would agree that an AR (or in my case, 5.56 Polish Beryl AK) or, if one wanted a manually operated rifle, a rugged bolt gun...
I may venture to do that this weekend. I have a hunch that it wouldn't do anything about binding after rapidly shooting a lot of .357 though. It's weird because I'm half thinking it's fine as it does...
