Exactly! This is a win in my book unless the caliber is unwanted by you.
I looked at an alleged NIB No3 in .30-40 the other day as I mentioned liking .30-40. It had aftermarket sling swivels...

I bought a Cimarron Indian Territory. Same thing, it shot uselessly above the sights and no recourse, the front sight was part of the barrel band and the fixed part of the ladder sight was as down...

They had a form to fill out to describe the issue, I was pretty detailed on top of the emails with their head sales guy. My FFL says the distributer will take the gun back as part of their 100%...

Well I got to the range to test fire the Cimarron after they sent it back. It’s not better, it’s worse!
Since all I got was a test target with no description of work performed and no data of what...

Wheel gun, I am sorry I didn’t see your post for all this time.
I was shooting at 25, 50 and even a 100 yards with mostly the Federal .38 special 158 LRN factory stuff.
At 25 yards. 4.5”...

One of my preferred set ups depending on the drop......on a large black bull, 50 yard impacts above the x and 100 yard below the x and hopefully still in the black.

One could go with a tang mount sight. I like your receiver sights much better but I don’t think that was an option on the ‘73.
Here’s to hoping I get a gun that shoots close to the sights when I...
All around I think the break actions are the limiters on them, the .32 H&R and the 32 S&W long.
I have not pushed my j frame 31 but I suppose it has a much higher ability. I actually like the...

The difference really is in the minimum size order. Midway breaks it down to a hundred pieces and Starline is 500.

I was almost going to do the same when CDNN had the left overs to sell off. They had .38-55, .30-40 and .45-70. Just too short for the .30-40 which I think would have been a sweetheart in the high...
Forum: Leverguns
charlie, I did try them, while not as smooth as they likely were banging and deforming the sharp edge, they did cycle and shoot a pretty good group, albeit 12-14” high.
Forum: Leverguns
Sent rifle back to Cimarron for evaluation. I couldn’t get the sights near point of impact as there is no lower adjustment with ladder sight, folded down is fixed, erected the lowest setting isn’t...

Thanks for the nice quality items. Enjoy your retirement!

Very interested in making a few dies. I have a 12” lathe in the garage. I have a RCBS lube a matic and a star, I am thinking of making the Star die sizes I have for the RCBS machine and then...
I have been shooting Speer 98 grain wadcutters in Lapua cases powered by 1.6 grains of WST in my 31-1 .32 S&W Long.
It’s been more accurate than my own SWC I cast with my Accurate mold.
It was...

Still on hold due to the short front sight.
Hopefully Cimarron has a good resolution and has a taller front sight band.
As a complete aside I ordered a taller front sight for my LRB 18”...
Forum: Leverguns
I reached out again to the folks at Cimarron, they’re still trying to get it figured out to resolve it.

This would be my suggestion. I was having a long spell of wrinkly bullets with a new to me NOE 358-135 mold until suddenly the mold got sufficiently hot. I had scrubbed the mold out twice with hot...

I hadn’t even thought about that to mill in a dovetail for a marbles or other sight. I’d probably use something different than a Marbles, I like the thick square post on it now, I am sure there are...
Forum: Leverguns
It’s a model 73, not a gun I really want to shoot magnum power loads in despite its chambering. I truly bought this for a fun centerfire plinker.
Forum: Leverguns
Thank you for those thoughts.
I do want to test out some 125 grain bullets. Maybe they’ll be what it takes without mods.
+1 on hardness affecting windage. I have seen that before with...
Forum: Leverguns
Well so far All loads that I tried are hitting well above the sights. I called Cimmaron to see what the options are as this model has the front sight machined as part of the front barrel band. I...

2 pounds or two canisters!?
Last I knew the typical one pound cans held a lot less by weight of Trailboss due to the fluff factor.
Edit, I finally got the OP’s pic to get unfuzzy. Looks like...
