I have one of the Henry ALL WEATHER, 18.5 INCH BARREL WITH THE LOADING GATE , AND IT LOOKS RATHER LIKE A MARLIN. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT IT ALSO LOADS AND UNLOADS THRU THE MAG TUBE.
I put a skinner peep sight and it works wonderful, and looks awesome

Has any one had any experience with the Cimarron 1886 in 45-70. I am considering buy one but would like some kind of input first, as they are not inexpensive

oldebear1950

I am considering one of the new Chippwa Kodiak model of the 1886, the Uberti, the Cimerron, and Pedersoli. I do not care for the rebounding hammer of the Miroku built Winchesters. I am not saying they are not good guns , just have met some people that say they have misfires with that hammer, Do any ...

Thank you, will check them out. For some reason the dealers around here have none.

oldebear1950

I would be happy with that if I could find one. I would prefer the stainless, but for that price difference would take one of those. No one around here has any

oldebear1950

I have heard the exterior part of the magazine tube is screwed into the receiver, much like the Henry's are. For a heavy recoiling carbine that makes a lot of sense. I would like to see more of their carbines with that style of magazine tube. Makes unloading a cinch, and do not have to cycle the car...

oldebear1950

do any of you guys have any experience with the new Rossi 454 stainless with the removable magazine tube like the Henry's have?

oldebear1950

I bought a new 38/357 stainless about 2 months ago and that was the average price

oldebear1950

I bought one about two months ago and that was the going price. Mine was stainless and had 1776 on it with AMERICAN FLAG

I just measured the old dovetail on the Rossi sights I removed and with my dial caliper measures 3.85 but this sight I got from Steve's Gunz went right in

oldebear1950

I purchased a new Rossi 38/357 and got both a new front and rear sight from STEVE'S GUNZ and they both were Marbles sights made for the new Rossi's.
old sights drifted out to the right, and new sight went right in. Steves's says these sights are made for the Rossi

and those were brownies, not black bears

When I was a lot younger, I was stationed in Kodiak, ALASKA, as per the fish and game, I always carried a Marlin 1895 45-70. Only time I saw bears was when I was deer hunting, and the fish and game up there said if they claim you deer kill, you should let em have it every time one heard a rifle go o...

one of my favorite movies, "Don't appologize , its a sign of weakness" showing my age i guess

oldebear1950

there is a company in Anchorage, Alaska called Wild West guns could probably do the work, but like Turnbull would probably be expensive. When I was stationed in Kodiak, Alaska a popular conversion for 1886 and Marlin 1895s was the 450 Alaskan, and 500 Alaskan. They were both very powerful and were h...

oldebear1950

from what I understand they would work very well, but you might be recoil sensitive to the hotter loads. I figure if they would hold 357 mag, and others 44 mag, should handle the 45 colt loads equally well

oldebear1950

yep and still are today. funny part was, my two granddads were old time town marshalls in Oklahoma during the oil boom of the 1920s and 1930s. My dad was a working cowboy out in west Texas when I was born in 1950. He used to know after working with them, a lot of the cowboys in the rodeo in the 1950...

My two brothers and I are extremely left eye dominant, and that is the reason we shoot a rifle, shotgun, or bow, left handed. about the only real problem we had was our left arm was generally not as strong as our right arm being right handed. We had to learn to shoot a bow, and work our left arm to ...

oldebear1950

Mr Whelan passed before I started shooting, but my brother and I , actually started shooting about the time he passed, as I was 10 and my brother was 8. that was in 1960, and our grandpa bought us a 22 single shot Winchester rifle. Been reading about and reloading from that time on. We read two guys...

oldebear1950

I agree any day at the range is a good day

oldebear1950

as for the loading gate, HOW DO YOU GET THE LOADING GATE TO GO PAST THE RIM OF THE CARTRIDGE IN THE MAG TUBE? can the spring or gate be bent so that it does that?

oldebear1950

is it possible to still obtain the taurus sight?

oldebear1950

hey costeve, where did you get the tang sight? that sounds like something I might like. I also thought of putting a peep sight in place of the factory sight. But the tang sounds more doable. I would like one that also folds down.

oldebear1950

I did watch it again, and it does have instructions to disassemble and reassemble the gun for cleaning and repair. but I am old school, and sometimes the books do help.

oldebear1950

I have an older gun digest of center fire rifles, by J. B. WOOD, and it covers the Winchester model 1892. As far as I know, other than the funky sight, and the plastic follower of course, the disassembly/assembly would be the same.

oldebear1950

I did buy the video, and maybe I am a klutz, but I guess I also need the instructions on how to disassemble the rifle/carbine. I will also check out one of the books on disassembly I have as I thing it has the 92. As far as the work goes will have to view the dvd again to see if I know what he is ta...

why did this print twice, please someone help me

oldebear1950

I bought the dvd from steves gun shop in texas, and am not sure I want to tackle this right now. I know I need to dive into it and take it apart and do the work. It is brand new, and took it out to just see how it would fire. all I did was take the safety off and replace with a pin. As far as doing ...

I took that Henry 45-70 all weather 18.5 inch barrel with the loading gate and shot some loads I had loaded back in 1983 when I was last stationed in Kodiak, Alaska, used em for bear. Was loaded for an older Marlin, but worked just fine in my Henry. In fact had a 3 shot string that were touching. I ...

oldebear1950

thanks I am kinda new on here and did not know about the pencil thing

oldebear1950

sorry but key board got stuck, and did not mean for that to happen

oldebear1950

I took my two new lever guns , one Henry all weather 45-70, with the loading gate, 18.5 inch barrel. I was using some ammo I loaded up the last time I was stationed at the COAST GUARD, base, Kodiak, Alaska, in 1983. I was not sure it would even work, but it shot beautifully, and one three shot group...

oldebear1950

Took my new Henry all weather 45-70, with the loading gate, and Rossi 38/357 mag carbine out to the range, and all went very well, awesome actually. Had some 45-70 I had loaded up , the last time I was stationed in Alaska, in 1983, must have done something rite, cause, they all worked perfectly. I h...

oldebear1950

I think one of the reasons lever guns have always had a strong appeal to me, is I shoot left handed. I have found , as probably a lot of left handers have, that a good lever gun does not matter if you shoot left handed or right handed. Also, because I am on a fixed budget, left handed bolt guns have...

oldebear1950

I do love mine, and that 16 inch barrel makes carrying a breeze!!!

oldebear1950

Does anyone here have any experience with this caliber.

I have seen it written on line, that this is pretty much an updated, modernized, 35 Remington, without the bottleneck. but a straight walled case.

oldebear1950

I wish one of the US companies would come out with a copy of the model 92, and build it here in this country, leave off the safety device that Rossi puts on em, and build it in all the popular pistol calibers, 32 H & R/327, 38/357,41 mag, 44 special/44 mag, 44 40, 45 colt, 454 casull. If built a...

The best safety device, is what is between your ears!!!

Picked up my Henry all weather, loading gate, 18 inch barrel, 45 70 , brushed chrome, carbine yesteday and it is great. Will be about two weeks before I can take it out and shoot it. About the only thing I would like, is for Henry to put the half cock, or safety notch in the hammer. I grew up with W...

oldebear1950

the reason I picked the Henry all weather 45-70 with 18 inch barrel, was because of the customer care. I messed up and let a golden boy 22 get rusted up on the barrel and lever, kept it stored in a nylon rifle zip up case, after cleaning and it rusted to the point of being unusable. ( got rid of tha...

I don't mind being charged, but dealers should not get rich just doing the paperwork

oldebear1950

is being sent to my dealer, as we chat, and will pick it up later in the week. Will post pics when I get it from the dealer. We are lucky here, there is a dealer here in town only charges 10 bucks to do the paperwork. My brother in Oklahoma City, says there, the dealers charge 50 bucks or more, just...
