first carbine unboxing

[floydthecat]

Thanks for clarifying, and for not having the patience to wait . This is very good news. Any unburnt powder issues that you noticed? I tried No. 7 in 45 clot in my SAA repro. It shot fine but left goey unburnt powder all down the barrel and inside the cases. Then again 45 colt has a lot greater capacity than 30 carbine. As soon as my ammo comes in the mail, I'll need to shoot a bunch so I have some brass to play with.

Pulled a patch thru the bore and inspected the action and fired brass. No residue or unburnt powder in the chamber, bore, bolt-face, or even in the fired case. I was a bit surprised even if I only shot a few.
