Would like to see close up of rifle and cartridge .

That brass is worth more than the gun...good luck finding replacements...!

[@nevadadesertrat267]

Actually I do see cartridges for sale every now and then. Right now I see the reloading suppliers do not have an brass for sale. But I am sure it will be available again. OpticsPlant Will let you back order brass. But they have no clue when it will arrive. NDR

[@karldouroux1491]

Do they still sell bullets for this gun?

[@nevadadesertrat267]

I looked on Midways site. They sell bullets for it. And it looks like they may also sell loaded ammunition for it. NDR

[@karldouroux1491]

Thanks I have one it was my great grandfather gun

[@tbcoachniblick1208]

You can get 25/20 bullets from Missouri bullet co but extremely good luck finding brass...Starline use to make it but it is almost extinct. I made my own from resizing 32/20 from Starline but now even that brass is extremely scarce and very expensive. Those of you who have these old rifles and are re discovering them as shooters are going to be very disappointed that ammo is extremely scarce and intensive to remake and reload... but as Larry Potterfield says..." thats just the way it is"....!

[@tbcoachniblick1208]

Can I have all that brass you are dumping on the ground... ???🤔

[@nevadadesertrat267]

Sorry It gets picked up cleaned and reloaded. NDR
