That sure is nice KW! That'll be a good shooter with that Lyman. Hope you get to perforate some critters with it.

Stuffing hulls!!! I really like this cartridge! Be nice if the ghost old Charlie "Kid" Russell wandered up to my campfire some cold night a scratched up the receiver with purty animal pictures with his pocket knife!

Well, I could scratch in some critters with my pocket knife but you'd probably fill my hide with .35 holes!

Removed the rear sight yesterday. It's aWinchester sight but not original for this old a rifle. Newer 94 eastern carbine rear sight. Can't remember the #. Front sight been replaced too. A nice Lyman. But I like it and can live with it. Stuck an old Marbles dovetail slot filler in I had. All I can say is that#21 Lyman is a real Daisy of a sight!! I can see the sights again!!!!!
This rifle fits!!! Can't wait for next October!!!

That's it, I have to own something that shoots that cartridge. Yup a baby .405! Just a .405 dressed down to .35. To me just a deadly for my needs and easier on the old arthritic bones.

Cant wait for some range reports! I almost bought a 405 1895 a few months ago, till i looked at the bore, very little to no rifleing left, rest of the gun was well worn, but nice, all there, was at a gun show guy was asking 900.00 I was bumed about the bore, he was trying to get me to by it saying its still a 405 Wincherster! next show he had sold it!

Well, I'd have been tempted at $900. A half way decent .405 will command at least double, and closer to triple, that.

My old .35 shoots. But I just didn't know for how long, it's a bit rough. Since I had a lot invested in reloading components, I figgerd I needed a really nice one. I'll post some kinda report after it gets shot!
Oh. I'll keep the other.35 too! Thought about having it rebored to .405. But maybe I'll just keep it then way it is.

Nice, I had a chance at one a couple of years backk but turned it down because finding good brass was a bit of a chore. Nice thing is now that problem is over.http://www.captechintl.com/proddetail.php?prod=35WIN100pcs
the most expensive bullet there is isn't worth a plug nickel if it don't go where its supposed to. www.historicshooting.com

Nice, I love the .35 WCF too. Here's a comparison of the .35 WCF and .405: And a shot of my Winchester high grade (repro) .405 (bottom) and 1905 vintage .35 WCF with zero bluing remaining above it. And, for those interested, top is a model 53 take down .25-20 from 1927; a Browning 92 Centennial .44; and a 94 Legendary Frontiersman .38-55.
