Went back to the range today, after mounting a Burris 4x mini scope on the 1894SS. I decided to go ahead and zero the 45/70 for the 400 grain loads. The wind was blowing hard enough that the target frames were really dancing, 1894C ... Brought this one along to confirm the zero on it, it has a WEave...

I don't have one currently but I have been seriously looking at the padderdale (patterdale) terriers lately. Can be used for treeing squirrels and also tracking shot big game. Joe, My coon hunting buddy up in Kansas had a little male Patterdale. That was the gamest dog I've ever seen, his mother wa...

Henry is a top notch company, as far as I'm concerned they set the standard for customer service.

I bought my grandson a youth model levergun and a mini bolt when he was a year old. Neither one have been fired yet. I also have a standard .22 levergun and a Golden Boy, they are both great guns.

In preparation for the upcoming East Texas hog hunt, I took a few of my leverguns today to check zero and try out some new loads. Marlin 1895GS (ported) ... This one is zeroed for Federal 300 grain factory ammo, and since I have a little of that left I didn't mess with the scope. I found out that th...

I saw this show last night, more sensationalism from the media. You would think they were after African lion or something.

As this is the leverguns forum, I'll be bringing a levergun or two to hunt with. Probably a good chance to shoot something with my Steve Young massaged 44 Mag Rossi 92 trapper. One of my 45/70s will come along in case I need a hammer, and I'm thinking about trying one with a 357 if there is not much...

Try bending the ejector spring down to cure your ejection issues, if that doesn't work order a new spring from Marlin. You might try building up the front sight a little. I have an Iver Johnson 22 lever action that I wanted a bead front sight on, but the sight is part of the barrel band. So I used a...

Ricky, I'll plan on arriving Friday afternoon if someone will be around.

I'm going to need a room or a bed or however that works too.

Excellent, Any room left for those that need lodging?

PBS did a special on him, and runs it from time to time. One of the best PBS shows I've ever seen.

Joe or Ricky, Any updates about this hunt? Location, when to arrive, etc?

Warhawk

I've always been too embarassed to ask, but. . . How can you tell an "LSI" Rossi from a "Braztech" Rossi. . . ? I think most of the ones I've seen actually say "Rossi/Braztech" or something like that on the barrel, but is there any other way to tell if there isn't some...

I *WILL* own one of these rifles.

Is it fit to take my six-year-old grandson? We watch westerns together, and enjoy the shooting and such, but don't want him hearing mother $#%@^&! and such as that. Jeff Jeff, I'd wait. I have a grandson who just turned 7 and I thought about taking him to see True Grit, but I'm glad I didn't. T...

Joe, That is great! I may finally be able to get a nice boar mounted.

22 year Boeing employee here, they hired me right out of the Air Force and except for a short layoff after 9/11 I've been working for them ever since. They do indeed pay tuition and books for employees to take college courses, the only stipulation being that you get a C or better grade. They even ga...

I own a bunch of Smith & Wesson revolver, a handful of Ruger revolvers, and a few semi autos.

I hope it's OK to talk about Sharps replicas here, because I have this baby waiting for my at my FFL and am picking it up today. It's a Garrett Arms Sharps military carbine in .50-70. This one is an 1863 conversion. These were made in the late 70s and early 80s, when Mr Garrett stopped importing the...

Warhawk

I would go for a better recoil pad, like a limbsaver or Pachmayr Decelerator.

Then book a hog hunt and bust a wild hog with it. Then you'll know what the 45-70 guide gun excels at and will never want to part with it

Warhawk

Marlin does their straight vs pistol grip stocks the same way, makes for easy interchangeability.

I'm about 120 miles north of Waco, so I don't have any specific info about living down there. But I do travel there for work occasionally and have a good friend who lived just south of there in Troy, TX. I would have no problem at all living in or near Waco. I don't know where you live now, so it's ...

I am a huge Reckless Kelly, Wade Bowen and Pat Green fan! Texas has some great music! My buddy turned me on to them when he moved to Fort Worth. I cannot get enough of Wade Bowen, either. Texas really is a "whole nuther country". My youngest is really into Texas Country and gave me an IPO...

My son bought a Browning safe that has long gun storage on the inside of the door. I already have 2 safes, but if I were shopping for a new one I'd certainly look at Browning. His came from a furniture store and was heavily discounted, not sure how they would compare at full price. http://www.browni...

Nice work, too bad Marlin can't make 'em run like that.

We lost two freezers full of meat and frozen goods last year, including nearly a whole elk and halibut that my son had sent home, not to mention lots of venison, wild pork, fish, and commercial frozen goods. This was all caused by a bad "ground fault" circuit breaker. Up until then I had n...

Very interested, but believe it or not there isn't a shoot near the DFW area. The added travel expenses are just enough that I haven't done it yet.

When I was about 14 or so, 2 of my cousins and myself saved our pennies from working on the farm all summer and each bought a brand new Winchester 100 in .308. Mine was no good that jammed and wouldn't stay on a paper plate at 50 yards, it made two trips to the local Winchester recommended gunsmith ...

My 336 Texan has a 4x Sightron mounted, let me know if you want to borrow it.

Joe, Do you have a 30-30 to use? If not I have a 336 Texan that is pretty much a twin to your .35 that you can borrow.

Outstanding! Glad to see that you're putting the Marlin to good use.

He had wanted to be a Marine since he was 10 or 12 years old, but thought he would have a better shot at being a pilot if he went Air Force. Don't know about that, but it's water under the bridge now. Well, if he wanted to fly fixed wing, he made the right choice. Odds are high in the Corps that he...

Congrats. :D Tell him that if he ever shuttles a bunch of Marines to be nice and give em a smooth flight. Some of those gents like see how easy we get air sick. :wink: :D Funny you mention that.

Congrats. Yours doesn't seem to have the cadet attitude problem many later develop, we had quite a few USAFA kids show up at my squadron during their summer breaks to see how the real AF worked. First/second year guys were very much "cadet" called E-2s and E-3s sir, etc and we had no prob...

Hey Joe, Glad it's working out for you. I wasn't aware that the bolt and receiver didn't match. I had a real beater 30-30 straight grip and snagged the 35 for the conversion project. It's really an easy parts swap to convert one of these, as long as you have all the parts you need, that's the hard p...
