2 New Sidegates coming

[markiver54]

Have no need or desire for the 45-70, and I have a pair of 410's that see little use.
Now the 35 Rem. in a case colored and an octagon barrel, would go nicely with the pair of marlins and that ole Savage.
Or the 38-55 the same way, I have a bullet mold but nothing else in this caliber.

But, need guess I really don't need any more.
Now wants, on the other hand.

They have the 35 and 38-55 side gate in stock at the LGS. They are Brass though of course. Price on each was $819.00. He is always willing to come down for cash. Just an FYI Randy.

I've always heard the reverse ... the heavier the bullet the heavier the recoil ....guess time will tell ... one of my goals for the last 4 days was to work on a light recoil 45-70 load .... didn't get it done .... hope to be able to start the process this coming Monday evening

Typically true - but not always.
Bore diameter vs. bullet weight, velocities & cartridge pressure can dramatically affect how much recoil a particular bullet weight will produce.
It gets complicated.

$819 seems like a good price. If one can be found here, the price is about $870.

People come from far and wide to go to this store because of his vast inventory and the lowest prices. Last week when I was there, I spoke with a man who came up from Greenville SC, ( about a 3 hour drive ), looking for a 500 MAG. That is how we began talking. We exchanged phone numbers after I told him about mine. Mine has the 8-3/8 barrel though and he was looking for a very short one. can't imagine it myself! He was a big boy though.

You need a 38-55 Mark there just a ton of fun to shoot. Vaquero needs one to. Hes halfway there with the mould and I know he loves to reload

Definitely a caliber that can pull you into reloading. Factory, if you can find them at a LGS, about $50 for a box of 20.

Yes, that sounds fun Al, but I don't, and probably never will, reload, if what Mags says is true ( which I do not doubt ), then I don't see that happening.
Would love to try one though!

Mags lives in the high rent district. I haven't ever paid that much for any ammo Ive bought for a gun that I don't reload for. Even my Barnes 338 Win Mag ammo isn't that much. I will admit though 38-55 ammo is a lot more than 30 -30

Al, the brass receivers do nothing for me, yes I do have a 44 BBB, but I bought it used, and the brass has a nice patina.
If they do it in a case colored and an octagon, only then would I consider it.
But with all I already have I really don't have a need for anything else.
But with all that said.......
I have a bid in on a Rossi M92 in 44-40, something I really have no need for, but at the moment I have it at a bargain.
So I could even turn around and make a quick buck if I choose to.
Or I may buy dies and reload for it. So I guess a 38-55 could happen.
