This is a butt plate off of an 1873 carbine with a special order rifle butt stock. Obviously yours is for a carbine but I do not believe for an 1873. Notice the screw/spring arrangement on mine. ...

The 38 and 44 caliber Win. 73s had the trapdoor. The 32 and 22 caliber guns did not.

Just be careful with heat around rubber gaskets, like the one in the bottom of the lube compartment.

I have thousands of both 3220 and 2520 cases so no need to resize! Yes, I had to be that guy. Lol

Ok I will bite. Why bell the 3220 case if you are sizing it down to 2520??

Where do you live that your state law prevents any individual from directly purchasing a firearm made prior to 1898 and classified by federal law as an antique?

That is a great plan however, whoever got me did not post nor comment on a post on the forum. Somehow they were able to see my PM to the seller in order to get my phone number. Perhaps the seller...

I recently agreed to purchase an item posted by a member on S&S. I commented on the post "I will take it" and followed up with a PM to the seller. In my PM I gave the seller my address and phone...

The over polishing of the gun probly explains what happened to the caliber stamping on the carrier. Sounds like you have plenty of good advice for fixing the drooping carrier.

A friend of mine has one of these that had the same issue. I tore it apart and figured out that the cocking mechanism was bent not allowing the sear to engage. I bent the mechanism back into place...
My 52 is the most accurate handgun in the safe and there are quite a few. Being a Smith it's obvious the trigger is fantastic. Using mid range (low power) wadcutter ammo, the action is very smooth...

Redding Saeco #322 is a great bullet that functions well in many guns. May be a tad heavier than you are looking for at almost 120grs but the shorter nose works great in 32-20 for colt pistols,...
I have a 6" 3rd change, a 4" 4th change, a 4" colt army special, and 5" colt saa. I also shoot winchester 92s, 73s, and a colt lightning. I cast a 120gr saeco 322 bullet. I load this over 3-3.5gr...

Ramshot says 6.7-7.4 for your 230 cast bullet and 8.5-9.4 for the 185gr bullet. I load the 230 cast bullet with 7gr True Blue. Works well

I don't cast the Lee bullet but do cast Lyman 401043 which works nicely in the Win. 1892. What is the length from the top of the crimp groove to the tip of the bullet for the Lee Bullet?

People pay some pretty crazy money for stuff on GunBroker. If you are somewhere that shipping ammo is not an issue GunBroker could be well worth it. Which is going to rake you over the coals the ...

You are the reason there's not enough to go around.
I only own a couple sets of lee dies and only because they are for oddball calibers I couldn't find better dies for. The same issue you have exists for the powder through expander die. It's just a...
Still have the 6" gp100 from the first year they came out. Never found a reason to change the original rosewood insert grips.

I have a 4 boxes of hornady #3210 170gr flat point .321 diam. bullets. These are "the" jacketed bullet for 32spcl. They are for sale.

True you don't see any nice 95s, especially takedown, for under 2k. However, being a reblue the gun is basically worth whatever someone is willing to pay. I have an original 95 takedown w 95% barrel...

Lead wheel weights have been on the outs for a long time. Anymore when I get a 5 gallon bucket of WW 2/3 or better are zinc.
