OMG??.i did fall asleep the other day. Body snatchers got me. Seriously using my cell phone I was able (just barely) to see some posts. Apparently there,s a whole bunch of people that are having...

I don't know where else to ask this but is anybody else having an issue getting onto the CMP Forums? Cloudfare keeps asking if I'm human then when I click the button everything disapears. Then it...

OK I finally got the 50-70 back from my gunsmith. It is truly a 50-70, not 50 US carbine. Apparently the extractor that was in the rifle was from a 45-70, :icon_scratch:, and would not allow the...

I'll pour another cerrosafe cast later and take measurements and a picture. If there was a partial casing stuck in there wouldn't it come out with a chamber cast? I purchased a used fn-fal a few...

I'll pull out a dental pick a little later and see if I can feel a ridge in the chamber. The cases are headstamped dixie 50-70. They do chamber in my Century Manufacturing 50-70 revolver. Even...

I purchased the bayonet at an auction probably a year or 2 after I bought the rifle. The bayo was marked Springfield 1863 on the auction tag. It is only marked with a US stamp on the bottom of the...

Ray,
I doubt seriously if mine is a true carbine. I couldn't have that kind of luck. I figured it is just a Bannerman or something. I bought it as a 50-70 but the darn brass that I use in my...

OK guys, I'm going to try to load some shells for my 1870. The question I have is that since it is .50 US carbine and NOT 50-70 how would you aproach cutting down the brass to the new length? Thanks
