Wear ear plugs! Those things are loud. Also, if you're going to shoot it very much, you should hone the cylinders with a cleaning patch chucked into an electric drill and soaked in some kind of polishing compound...it makes ejecting the spend shells easier. Good find, those are getting rare.

I shot one of those when they first came out. We were emptying some 30 carbine rounds so he could reload the brass. It made the coolest flame cone with that rifle powder!! Just like in the old west comics.
Nice score, I haven't seen one in decades.

Had one for 26 years just like it and absolutely loved it.
I reloaded all my rounds with pistol powder, after finding out the rifle rounds were loud and slow in it.
I finally gave it to my son in-law for Christmas last year after 15 years of him hounding me for it [ddev man was he beside himself

yeah no problem,,, a buddy had some remmington shells,, gave 11.00 bucks for a little over a half a box! i want to shoot it again![cl

Ammo prices has gotten ridiculous. I used to shoot surplus ammo in mine but the cylinders were barely rough and after several rounds it got hard to eject the spent cases. I honed it out barely and fixed it. Maybe yours has already been honed or maybe the Remingtons are better than that old stuff I was shooting.

 

[Rev Tex Devlle]

well i dont have to worry with ammo prices,i sold the gun last night!!
