I've wondered why they didn't use curly maple stocks on cartridge guns for a long time, so when my wife showed me this one, I fell in love with it.

Supposedly this is a from a facebook repost, but I wonder if there are any still available?

That's funny!

Thanks for the info, gents. OldWin, I'm thinking about 4.5 - 4.6 gr. of 231, ('cuz I've got lots of it!), which would give about 900 fps - not too different than your Unique load. I carefully trimmed all of the test cases within a thou or two, and I'm thinking I'll crimp just enough to take the fla...

MGR1,

Thanks for the info and link. Learned something new today.

MGR1,

A question for you, When you said

Swiss #4 black powder

were you referring to 4F powder, or something else.
I've not heard of of black powder referred to in this way before.

Personally, I believe the two pandemics we are fighting are criminal politicians and intellectually atrophied voters.

I was invited to the forum right after it was formed. Now this is the only shooting forum I frequent on a regular basis.

Happy birthday Leverguns!!

Those are cool. I wouldn't mind having one of those.

The IN governor has signed an executive order calling up the National Guard. There's no need, so I'm thinking martial law is coming.

Joe

Try one before you buy one. I've shot both Ruger and Colt style and find they both make me limp wrist the guns. "To me" this does nothing for accuracy and actually causes me wrist pain.

YMMV

wellllllllllllllllllllll, I have been told by a few around here if they try it, they will answer the door with lead.. Biden better be careful, going to be a civil war comin.

Joe: American Single Shot Rifle Association. Mainehunter, I'd love to have your dilemma. If a .25-35 derivative, consider the .25-35 Tomcat discussed here a number of times.

Here's a question foe any one who might know. Our basement flooded April of 2013. I went down to save as much of our stuff as I could. My wife stayed on the landing transferring it upstairs. Two weeks later I was in the ER later transferred to ICU. I was one sick puppy. So the question is; how long ...

These ideas "may or may not" have any bearing on your Winchester, but here they are. When Hornady first introduced the Leverevolution ammo with the pointed gummy tip bullets there was comments from them that some rifles might have feeding problems with that ammo due to some issue with the ...

The post WW II (1947 vintage) flat band carbine I had had milled bands. My 1950 carbine has the stamped bands. I agree the magazines on the carbines with the milled bands are secured better.

Joe

I'd love to and would if I could. Although I would need help getting up from the prone position

And to be honest my old No 4 Mk 1* needs a new barrel.

Sadly, were both worn out.

Joe

J Miller

Here is my somewhat slightly educated take on this; about the time the front sights were changed several other changes were made too. Different rear sights, different butt plates, different markings and model number, ( from 1894 to 94). About this time the Winchester family sold the company to Olin ...

J Miller

I Once read that you shouldn't buy a first year production of a new model of anything. As good as the design might be there will always be bugs to work out.
Give Colt a chance, I'll bet they get it squared away.

Joe

J Miller

Ugh ...... that is the UGLIEST looking piece of pelosi I've ever seen. Lever guns don't look good at all tacticaled out. Barf, puke, wretch, gag.

I wouldn't own that thing if somebody gave it to me for my birthday.

Joe

J Miller

Wow! That's something different. Thanks for reposting it.

Joe

Jim.

My newly acquired Win 10 box wont open the pic as is. All I see is the word "Image". Any ideas on how I might get it to open?

Joe

J Miller

I found everything but where to buy spare mags. one mag is not enough.

Looks interesting though.

Joe

I have checked the "Remember Me" box every time, doesn't seem to help.

Using Firefox, I hate Chrome.

Have been to browser and looked for the place to check and can't find it.

It also forgets You Tube settings as well.

Joe

Joe, Need a bit more explanation just to be sure of what you are saying. Is your PC logging you off of the Leverguns forum or is your PC's desktop lock screen coming on? Are you saying that you keep having to log back into Leverguns or back onto your PC? :?: >Is your PC logging you off of the Lever...

J Miller

We had to get a newer computer and it has Win 10 in it.

I had fits getting logged in to LG and now every time I leave the forum this PC logs me out. Is there a setting to stop this?
Can someone direct me to where it is?

Help!!!!!

Ah ha! I see said the blind man. That makes more sense.

Joe

If this is over the Model 597 I see little if any similarity to Ruger's 10-22. Sounds like Remington has a product that people are buying and Ruger can't stand the competition.

My dream is to have an unaltered, matching numbers, 1952 vintage, Winchester made Garand.

That's all it ever will be, as $,$$$.¢¢ is in very short supply here.

I may make a trade for a minty 94AE 44 mag Timber Scout. Little on the net other than old promo pic and dates of production (2005-2006?).

Thanks to all whom had a suggestion, this one was my own ignorance. Did learn how to disassemble and reassemble. Not sure how properly, but I didnt booger anything.

Decorated pistols like that are all fine and dandy, but what it comes down to is .... how do they shoot?
If they don't shoot, they have no value.

Joe

J Miller

Thanks for the info and the greetings. I'm guessing it is an issue with spring or such, something broke, worn, or just missing, as it's not moving at all just lays there when levered. Dont care for WD-40 on guns either always heard of too many problems. Does work good at cleaning a few things, I kn...

J Miller

Cleaning is good of course, but first do this: First: forget anything you know about Marlins, they are different and operate in reverse, Second: Open the action and listen for the metallic clink the lifter makes when it pops up. Third: Lightly hold the lever in the open position and gently push down...

swhite0745, Welcome to the forum. What you describe is not normal. It sounds to me like something in the lower tang is binding. I can't say what without having it in front of me so my suggestion would be to pull the lower tang out then disassemble it and polish everything that contacts anything, esp...

J Miller

DocRock, I know nothing about the 1895s, never had one, so I can't help with this one. However from owning quite a few rifles designed by Browning I can say with some confidence that if you have to force something you're going about it wrong. Like Vance said set it aside and work on it later. Joe
