...The 44 WCF cartridge really does make for a clean firing rifle...Amen to that. The way a bottleneck cartridge seals is why the original Colt Lightning rifles were mostly in 38-40. I bought a replica one in 45 Colt and it always blew back severely in my face so I got rid of it. Had it been in 44-40 or 38-40, I'd probably still have it. That was an expensive lesson.
I think you have the right plan for this rifle. Maybe some day you might take it apart to do a deep cleaning but not for normal course of cleaning.Cap, in spite of having to remove the butt stock on your '86 are you still glad you bought it? It's mighty nice looking.I'm only gonna shoot smokeless. So I'll probably have to remove the buttstock, like...never?
Yes. Still super-hyped about it and don't regret it one second
One thing I've learned from other forums is how NOT to treat other members, and we expect everyone to feel comfortable and at home here, not under attack by the reigning forum gurus as on other sites.On one forum I got on, the admins were the worst trolls. This forum is among the best. There is as much support here as you'll find anywhere, and more than most..
Thanks, Marshal. It is a shotgun bead. The first one I bought (.067") was too tiny to see. This one is .130". I like it.I thought so. It looks fine on there.
Would like to put one on that unmolested Colt that Santa brought me if I can figure out how to remove the factory sight without hurting the blueing.
