Re: Added a "Cavalry Carbine" to the H&R 1873 Trapdoor Stable
1) Andrew -- The middle Trapdoor is indeed the Officers Model. B) Sixgun -- I was not at the Limerick auction. I don't do gun auctions, not since 1979. iii) JReed -- Depends on the ambient and ammo temp, but it can do just under 1300 to just over 1300 from the Infantry Model, within +/- 30 to 40 FPS...

Re: Marlin 410
If you want a lever 410 chambered in 3", you need to find a Win 94 in 410. Noah Friend I allways understood the Win9410 was 2 1/2" also!! So did I, until I started paying attention to the 9410s I saw in shops and on show tables. Apparently there were some 9410s in 2.5" and some made ...

Re: Added a "Cavalry Carbine" to the H&R 1873 Trapdoor Stable
I had one of those some years back. The originals had a little trough or groove on top of the receiver ahead of the trapdoor breech block and the H & R lacked that feature. The result was, you could not get the sights down to hit at 100 yards because you could not see the notch that low. I took...

Agreed. I like the Winchester 95 because the box mag allows the use of spitzer bullets. But that magazine box it right at the balance point of my 30-06 and 30-40 and it plain sucks for one-hand carry.Old Savage wrote: I like them all but the 95s but that is because of how they carry.

Re: ON Topic -- "Poor Man's Model 64"
Other than the 94, I'm not up on Winchester actions. What makes this one 64-ish? At the basic level, the 64 is a rifle with a 94 action with a pistol grip: http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn33/Noah_Zark/M64800x179.jpg Contrast with the Model 94 Black Shadow: http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn...
