BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!

It's common knowledge in the COWBOY ACTION SHOOTING (CAS) community that all leverguns chambered in .357 mag may not cycle .38 Special cartridges very well. What kind of .38 Spec loads do you want? Light charge? Medium? Heavy? With lighter weight bullets? My wife shoots .38 Special thru a 1873 Ubert...

Chicks with Guns?

Here's my Sweet, Straight Shootin Wife!

You're under the assumption that the courts have ANY validity......they don't!!

Law means nothing to the judges or to the lawyers........it's all a "show" so us peasants think that law means something..........yes, I'm a cynic.

WOW!.........Kinds looks like the one that followed me home.......

BHB Where did you get the one with the state of North Carolina engraved into the stock? That's the Marlin that my wife uses for Cowboy Shooting.........she had it laser engraved on the buttstock. Those laser engravers can put ANY design on the wood!! If you're interested in something like that I'll...

Yes I did..........

Blame the wife..........

Price was about the same. I do like the 24" barrel of the limited but the look of the competition (case color). Was one better made? Monte I've had both........the .357 mag is more flexible.........the case hardening on the limited is prettier........the limited has the "factory action jo...

My experience with "Big Ed" is that he is a fraud! We agreed to exchange a firearm for leather............he received the firearm...........I received NOTHING!!!........and this was 2 years ago!!!!! I send him Emails every few months and keep getting the "I know, I'm sorry, I'm workin...

I have no first hand knowledge of MVA sights.......but some friends of mine say they LOVE their MVA sights.

FWIW

The front sight blades look low.......were they trimmed by the previous owner? (Which would make the pistol print high)

Some Cowboy shooters will do that to use light loads which print low anyway.

Try some factory loads.......then make a decision.

Anyone try it yet?

Cowboy Shooting F-U-N !!!

My wife and I have been competing in it for over 6 years.......it's a BLAST!!

A nice diagram here also:

There's a small screw on the contact face of the barrel set...........is it protruding and preventing it from closing on the receiver face?

There is also an adjustment lock on the same pice that allows the barrel to be snugged up......maybe the previous owner snugged it up too tight?

That's why they call it "Europistan".

That's a BEAUTY!
Mine is basically stock with the exception of the MARBLES rear sight:

I need one of those for driving down the Interstate!!!!

"WOLVERINES!!!!"

With the SASS CASS and other shooting sports that promote the use of firearms from the Old West, why has WINCHESTER and COLT not stepped up to the plate and provided the REAL MCCOY rather than letting the forign markets to dominate as they do? It's simply a $ issue......with foreign manufacturing c...

Come on tart, who?...I was probably shooting before you were even born......I have vast experience........I can tell...JUNK ....political my man......kick the dog. :roll: .......you crack me up. :D Have you actually fired a chinese 97?.......Instead of trying to argue JUST answer the question.........

Here I go again, stealing a topic and ranting about politics.....I am getting increasingly frustrated with junk coming out of China.......but those stinkin' Chinese businessmen..........nails to coffee pots....Then we gotta fight the illegals.........becoming a third world nation. You know............

NICE!!!

Love those Rugers!!

I had a carrier come apart on a Marlin CB in .45 Colt............after about 15,000 rounds!

If its anything like their so called 1897 shotguns, stay away from it. Norinco Chinese junk. FIRST of all........NORINCO was an exporter of the early chinese manufacture 1897's and NOT the manufacturer. SECONDLY.......Interstate Arms ( http://iacshotguns.com/ ) has a factory in China that makes exc...

All THREE of my Marlins .45 Cowboys are great shooters!!
