Very good advice her father gave. As one of my hand-to-hand instructors said, "He, who is afraid to loose, has already lost." I think of the few fights I've been in, each with someone bigger than me, the deciding factor has always been my willingness to ensure they KNEW they'd been in a fi...

Vall, I also believe that Marbles was the first (1892). They were in existance before Redfield (1909). Marbles was making similarily designed rear sights prior to the turn of the 20th century. The double rail elevator though is the only part that threw me off; I don't know when it was introduced, no...

Good deal Kirk. It becomes hard for a person to rail against gun ownership when they find that there can be a simple pleasure from the striving to do something well. And once they recognize that it's a challenge to make improvements in doing so, they usually end up supporting the right to do so.

Joe,
Have you checked through the various tips and techniques listed on Marauder's Gun Tuning site? LOTS of info there on the Marlin 1894 for the CAS crowd which puts their guns through SEVERE service.

Griff

No trouble for me.

Griff

Kirk,
Very beautiful rifle. Congrats on getting a load you like. If you're like me, you ain't ever satisfied.

Griff

Yep, ol' Ted is correct. He may be a little 'out there' for my taste in music, but I think he's got the lay of the land down pat. If we don't make the gun grabbers recognize that their "gun free zones" haven't been working, as the gun grabbers aren't in their "gun free zones" whe...

I agree. But, with the same fellars hanging out here is almost the same. Not quite, but almost.

The only comment I can make is that I've NEVER had happen with either a model 1894 or 94 WINCHESTER! :P I've had them jam, but there was always an apparent cause. YMMV. And it's not just limited to Marlins. As I've had my son's Rossi .357 Mdl 92 clone do similar things. Jam or spit two, or stovepipe...

Don't get me wrong, your idea is valid in a closed environment such as NASA. The only two NASA facilities I've visited have gates and guards at every entry/exit. It's not an area that is a mixed use, i.e. both public and private buildings and roadways. NASA's facilities are more like a military base...

I still maintain that the grounds for an administration change should be the gross negligence which lead them to forbid properly trained citizens from carrying weapons of self protection on their campus.

I know lots of folks that swear by the Cimarron Ubertis.

Forgot the other topic was going. My bad.

Very likely just a trend. I just received a 1976 Colt catalog and price list. Makes me wonder why I didn't buy one or two of the 1851s back then: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d197/sass93/Coltprices.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d197/sass93/Coltprices1.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albu...

mod71alaska,
I haven't been banned yet, but I understand you're in good company. I haven't visited in quite a while. Am using my kids computer as mine is in the shop. I hope to get banned as soon as I get my computer back.

Be on the lookout for: stolen rig and rifles.

Be advised the display rifles have NO firing pins.

Knowing the type of low-lifes that hang around truck stops in just about any urban areas make them my least favorite areas.

Griff

I don't recall if the rules change for Indiana finally passed to allow them to use leveractions in such calibers. Your idea about the Minnesota Deer Hunters Association is a good one. Or other outdoor organizations. It may also help to show how other states allow their use.

I can't; but, can imagine having him in my cross-hairs.

You would be fine with all three. The 30-30 is probably the flattest shooter in the bunch. Gotta agree. If you're confident w/any or all, I'd take the .44 or .45 if ranges were going to be ~125 or less. I'd stick w/the .30WCF if shots further out were likely. Good luck, welcome and please share pic...

That's ok. You can make up for it by letting me have a shot if you ever decide to sell it!

Thanks. I've got some work to do on an old receiver and was planning on having that testing done so that I make sure my repairs were done correctly. Now I'm convinced.

Griff

Wow. You went and posted a pic of that .32-40 1893.... now you owe me a keyboard. I drooled so long over that pic my keyboard shorted out. Having to use a PC type with my laptop now!

Y'all are being far too polite.

Very nice.

Tis actually two, the link and carrier. Both holes on the right side have been peened. ?The link so much so that the hole has migrated rearwarrd & downward. Needs a little filling in also! Mucho malo.

Joe & Mike, I had talked with Colt1849 and IIRC he said he stays away from the post '64 sintered steel receivers. Val, have you done this with a Post '64? I have a guy that's willing to TIG the small repair needed, (weld up a screw hole that has become enlongated so I can redrill and tap.) But, ...

Griff

Does anyone know what type of rod I would use to weld a flaw in a post '64 Winchester 94 Receiver? Or where about's to go to get an answer?

Griff

Hanz, Keep soaking it, use some heat and work with the screws. Get it apart. Clean and derust everything. If the chamber and bore and action isn't in bad shape it will work. At least ... that's what I'd do. Me too. I've got one as bad I'm going to rebuild: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d197/sas...

I've been doing some thinking along those same lines. Here's my dream rifle: Winchester 94, top eject, take down with 6 barrels. It needs to be in a rifle configuration, curved steel buttplate, nicely figured wood. I want the buttplate, receiver, lower tang, lever and forend cap color case hardened....

Those are fantastic pictures.

Was kinda neat. I suspect that he'd been planning that little April Fool's joke for a while. I mean, you don't just up and create a website in a day... or is it really that simple and folks have been getting ripped off for lots of money by it seeming more complicated that it is?

Griff

The Hodgdon Powder website only lists a 405 and 485 gr bullets, so it's not much help. But, would be a starting point. They list loads for both 3031 and 4064, but nothing for 748 in this cartridge.

Whereas I agree with you about the original Winchester M71, I just don't see the Browning copies as having that same... inviolate nature. I have a 1886 Browning rifle, that is just as it was received from the factory, with the only changes being it's no longer "unfired". However, there isn...

Griff

Ah, I see the difference. They used a professional photographer so the shooter and everything except the receiver of the rifle is blurry. Your photo has great focus and is very clear. Obviously an amateurish attempt to replicate the ad.

Besides, it looks better.

Gosh, and I thought mine was in rough shape. That's not as bad as some I've seen.
