For those that know; how many (total number) of escutcheons on the 1885 Winchester design? Thanks for your help.

Late model (28,000 series) all US manufacture premium revolver (Turnbull CC era) .45 Colt 7 1/2” with upgraded/ optional fire-blued screws and Bisley CC hammer. Piece has been shot (exactly) 200X; the only wear I can see that makes this handgun not factory pristine is 1) slight rub marks...

Just let this one sink in for a moment:

Long/ short: purchased an 1892 Trapper Takedown (neat little rifle in .45 Colt) in Dec. of 2020 - noted several cosmetic problems upon arrival - returned to Morgan, UT for a four month repair. The rifle was then returned to me - the next problem was that the CC finish would rub off the receiver...

For those that think that ammo is too expensive, will remain expensive, will remain scarce and world ammo demand (both military and civilian) will remain high - maybe this will help you subsidize your hobby - just a thought for those that think beyond their next paycheck.. I’ll throw $500 at...

Does anyone else (meaning I do) check their distant target progress/ results with a camera drone?

I have/ own a three count sequential set (one 7 1/2”, two 4 3/4”) of the USFA Premium revolvers (SSA style) in .45 Colt (upgrades are fire blued screws, sequential serial numbers and Bisley CC hammers) that I am contemplating selling however, I cannot settle on an appropriate price for the set...

Last December, I purchased an 1892 Deluxe Takedown in .45 Colt that had to be immediately returned to Winchester for both cosmetic and mechanical problems. This rifle was returned twice and was eventually “junked” and replaced. When I received the replacement rifle, it had cosmetic problems and...

I had the chance to take this replacement rifle to the range; l also got to review the fit/ finish in detail in the daylight - it is an exceptionally beautiful rifle. I shot a reload that I have used for years (WW brass/ primer, 36.5 grains of IMR 3031 and a 405 grain Missouri Bullet Co...

I received my Long Range Express rifle today; it was ordered in May of 2020. It is a 45-70, 30” heavy octagon with most of the bells and whistles including exhibition grade wood. I have owned two of their rifles before; I was spoiled by the perfectionist fit and finish of my first two...

Took it to the (steel plate) range today. My proficiency with most handguns is about average; this thing makes me look like a handgun wiz. There is just something about the way it points, the sights, the trigger and the grip - they all come together (for me at least) with this model - very...

A philosophical question; should what we usually call an accurate firearm be more properly labeled a consistent firearm. My mind tells me that consistency is what produces small groups - accuracy is a product of consistency and not necessarily the reverse. My mind sometimes overthinks the...

I purchased a Winchester 1892 (.45 Colt) Trapper Takedown at the first of this year. Long/ short, the rifle made two trips back to Winchester in Utah and Missouri for cosmetic quality issues. On the second trip (the Arnold, MO facility), Winchester made the decision to replace the rifle with a...

For those that prep their barrels (meaning firing a fouling round or more thru their rifles) prior to their hunting season/s, do you run anything down the barrel (maybe just simply a light coat of oil) after the fouling shots or do you just leave it as is (no touch) and clean at the end of the...

I took my new 1710 to the range this early afternoon - thunderstorms were threatening, 92 degrees and humidity off the scale but, I had to shoot it. By far bar none, the most innately accurate rifle I have ever shot. Two stage target trigger breaks like glass at 1#, zero recoil, just...

I recently purchased a Meister grade .22 from them; even their premium rifles come with a composite bolt knob (IMO, they are a distraction from the overall beauty of these rifles - ugly as sin). Anyway, I very politely made my feelings known to Anschutz and I was sent a beautiful steel bolt knob...

Long and short, I ordered a Leupold scope last Wednesday (8/18) from this organization. The item showed shipping from Baton Rouge to Bloomington, IL then onto me (outskirts of St. Louis (MO) this Saturday (8/21) past by end of day. Then later Saturday when it was not arriving, I checked again...

I purchased a Winchester 1892 .45 Colt Trapper Takedown (Miroku manufacture) back in January of this year. Upon arrival, I noted that it had several cosmetic problems; I contacted Winchester and the rifle was shipped to Morgan, UT for repair. The rifle was returned about three months later...

I am shopping for a higher end .22 rifle (very nice wood, trigger, fit/ finish, accuracy, etc). I have located a custom stocked Anschutz at Canyon Creek (beautiful rifle) and a Cooper at JD Outfitters (another beautiful rifle). My consternation is the prices being north and way north of $7k...

For those that know, your thoughts: Kimber Model 82 .22 “Custom Classic” (purchased brand new, Yonkers production) with an absolutely killer walnut stock / Leupold 3.5-10x50 Var III scope and Leupold 1” medium height rings - the entire rig is in absolutely pristine condition w/ original box and...
