One of my sisters has the Spencer repeating rifle that was used by our great-great grandfather during the US Civil War. You aren't getting one of those anywhere but at an auction.Henry Rifle for the win.

Henry Repeating Arms in .308 if you like. It retails for around $1100, but you can probably find a local dealer who'd sell for under retail to you...if you can find one in their inventory.

My great-great grandfather was part of John T. Wilder's "Lightning Brigade". The aforementioned of my sisters has a Confederate Battle Flag on display in her living room. It's not a replica. It"s a "fuck you" because it was delivered to our great-great grandmother by the US postal service in 1864.Alas, Spencer went bankrupt all the way back in 1869, although new ammunition in its unique .56-56 Spencer caliber was still manufactured until the 1920s-1930s. Fortunately, enough was made and stockpiled back then that there's still limited supplies available to this day via third-party resellers that specialize in vintage ammunition.
That's assuming you can get and keep antique field artillery pointed at a deer long enough to get an accurate shot because deer have very good survival instincts which include "be somewhere else" when humans are nearby.Only if you like pulverized mush that use to be deer.
A 10 gauge shotgun is also pushing it when it comes to stuff that's not called a cannon and thought of as artillery.i get the joke, but it should be noted that many states have minimum caliber restrictions on muzzle loaders
(in Mt, it's 45 cal.)
and on the other hand, federal waterfowl restrictions limits you to a shotgun of not more than 10 gage (.775 cal) so it's highly unlikely that you can find anything practical in a larger bore size.
What would be the case capacity of:
- Arisaka 6,5x50mm if cut down to 45mm length?
- Mannlicher 6,5x54mm/Carcano 6,5x52mm (the two are AFAIK interchangeable) if cut down to 45mm length?
In ml please, not "grains" ...
As the starting point is around 2,5-2,9ml I'm fairly sure that the outcome would be somewhere around 2ml, but I'd like to narrow down the "around"
Finding case capacity is hard!
I've read that in the late 1920s General Fyodorov, he of Fyodorov Avtomat fame, was advocating not only the Red Army switching to the Arisaka, but a shortened-case Arisaka.
Maybe I'll write one some dayTL when Poland choosed Arisaka ammo and Fedorew avtomat would be wery interesting.
Anyone here have experience with the Sig 365 and the Hellcat?

Any experience with holsters both like and dislike?
Thanks for any input.
If you can put it out in a car or SUV with blankets and a tarp or something, you can melt it right out of it. If you can't, you pretty much have to take it all apart and clean it using mineral spirits, though, you need a well-ventilated area for that because of fumes. So not very friendly to living in a small apartment unless family or a friend has space they can let you do that in.I'm thinking about buying a Chinese Type 56 sks rifle. The only problem is, it's military surplus and thus was stored with 'heavy amounts of cosmoline' to protect it from rust and so on.
So, I guess what I'm really asking is, has anyone got any advice for removing the stuff? Hopefully on the cheap without needing a whole lot of equipment or space, as I live in a small domicile.
