Re: Marlin 1894 SS .44 Mag

"What do the majority of levergunners think about a levergun in stainless?" Specifically, what do you levergun fans think of the Marlin 1894 SS in .44 magnum? Is stainless too "modern" in your opinion? After hunting in very foul weather recently I think I will like the stainless...

I clean as needed. If I sight a gun in for hunting I sure don't clean it before the hunt! I want that bore to be just the way it was when I sighted it in, so no fresh bores for me in the field! If I go to the range to plink, I run a bore snake through the bore, and then wipe the gun down outside. I...

Be safe. 1886. I do the same myself. At times ive noticed that even with a large group of careful and conscient...

Re: OT-Using Leverevolution ammo in a semi-auto?

I have a line on a Remington Model 8 in .35 Rem. Researching to see if ammo is even still available, the only thing that popped up in a quick search was the Hornady Leverevolution (or however it's spelled :x ). At almost $1/rd I don't know that I'll jump on it but if there's no other factory ammo o...
