Thank you/ Sixgun.

The 94 in question isn't already drilled for tang sights so spacing isn't an issue. I'm concerned that once mounted, the aperture would be too high or too low to use. It seems Lyman #2's for the 94 aren't available right now. I ordered one from Optics Planet in March because their "availability...

Does anybody know if a Lyman #2 marked for the 1886 Winchester can be used instead of the one for the 94 Winchester?

I posed the following question on Facebook: For years the front barrel bands on 94 carbines were between the front sight and the muzzle. When the ramp front sight came into use, the bands were moved behind the sight. Other than to make disassembly more difficult, was there a practical reason for the...

Can the folding rear sight Marlin uses be substituted on a Winchester? I have a 26" 94 Classic that I want to install a tang sight on it and was thinking of putting the Marlin sight on the barrel.

I've been told that 8.5 gr of Unique was the top for .45 Colt now.

When did Winchester quit marking the firearms with "WCF"?

Sure, leave the page, but at the bottom there's an e-mail link. One of the mods should remove that from the page, and replace it with a line that she's in a better place than the rest of us.

Thank you gentlemen. I'll try both 3031 and 748 and see which one works best for me.

I have a bunch of Ruger revolvers,most of them are single actions. Many ,if not most,Rugers in .45 Colt have ,until recently, had too small cylinder throats causing inaccuracy on the target.

I bought an upper receiver for an LR308 from a co-worker who decided to red Loctite the barrel nut when he assembled it. What are some ways to defeat Loctite? Heat? Acetone? Other?

I recently got a Winchester 94 "Classic" 26" octagon .30-30. It is in great shape except that the forend is loose and slides fore and aft just enough to be annoying. Any suggestions on a fix for this condition?

You nailed it - almost like Blazing Saddles, it's a movie that couldn't be made today. It has already been remade - Zulu Dawn (1979) doesn't come close to Zulu (1964) "Zulu Dawn" is not a remake of "Zulu". It actually chronicles the Battle of Islandwana that preceded the siege o...

From Western movies it is easy to see the true nature and purpose of The Bedroll.

Thanks guys. Now I don't feel quite so incompetent. I did a little research on Marlin Owners and see all sorts of recommendations for filing the barrel notch, the forend holes, and the band itself.
A few years ago I swapped out the bands two 94 Winchesters. It was simple and easy, not this mess!

Yesterday I tried to swap the rear band (forend band) on my pre-safety Marlin 336 with the modern band with the sling stud attached. It didn't go too well. After sanding down the wood to allow the new band to fit, I couldn't get screw to line up correctly. Finally I decided to try some other time wh...

In my experience, front sites are generally uniformly sized. Simply drift it out with a properly sized brass punch to the right, ejection port side, and measure it with a set of calipers. Please let us know the height. Do not worry if it is bent. We still should be able to determine the "prebe...

I recently retrieved my 336 30/30 from my soon to be former parents-in-law. Upon examination the front sight now lists a bit to starboard and shows flattening from striking something. I've put a Lyman 66LA on it and wanted to replace the front with a sourdough from Skinner Sights. What height and wi...

I want one. Still have my MARX Toy version with its "holster". I'd take a Legacy Bounty Hunter model,though. It has the correct second version lever. Still would have to be "corrected"; shorter barrel, and no sights. California's Safe Handgun Roster prevents purchasing one. :evil...

I was looking at the Lyman and Williams receiver sights catalogs and noticed that the Williams FP-94/36 sight fits either the Winchester 94 or the Marlin 336. Lyman, on the other hand has two separate models, the 66A for the Winchester and the 66LA for the Marlin. Any idea what the difference is bet...

That looks great Shawn. Pretty much what I was looking for. "Wet sanded" with what?
I was hoping to do this as a home project as a distraction from my divorce. The wood on my Trapper is good as are the insides. Rust isn't near as bad as Shawn's.
