any idea if these are avaiable yet?

Al

yep, Hornady is the only game around I can find.

I was told the Leverevolution brass was about .050 shorter due to the nose length of the FTX bullets.

Al

Can any of you tell me if the Hornady 450 Marlin Leverevolution brass is shorter then their regular brass?

thx

Al

any of you guys have Karls e-mail addy?

thanks.

Al

I've never had a Winchester fail to go bang in anything yet, can't comment on the Mil-spec, but have heard they had a thicker cup to hinder slam fires.

thanks.

Al

If one of you fellas have a XS/Ashley rear sight on your Marlin 94, could you measure the width, length, and base height to the top of the base for me?

thx

Al

I shoot the 450gr and 500gr Kodiaks from my 50 Alaskan and 50-110, bears didn't go anywheres when hit by them either, but I never recovered any of those bullets. I also have 5-6 boxes of the old .348 230gr Northforks to load and play with this spring. I've had excellent results on elk and moose with...

Al

another option.

I just don't know if the brass will expand like a copper Barnes will.

Al

I tend to stay away from bonded bullets, like the Kodiak, simply because it usually takes a good bit of velocity to get them to expand. If you've tried these bullets on anything (deer, pigs, bear, elk) I'd sure like to hear about it; especially regarding terminal velocity and expansion. Again, than...

sure do, but before doing something like that, I looked for a second job for the wife

Al

if it isn't costing you anything, keep it.

Al

thanks.

I found a stainless 475 blank I had tucked away for whatever reason, thought maybe I'd rebarrel this 480 of mine in octagon if there was enough room.

Al

I need the width of a 44 or 45cal octagon barreled Rossi, both at the muzzle and at the breech end.
(not sure if it's tapered)

thx.

Al

Jim, will do.

thx

Al

the recoil pad has to go, so looking to replace the stock on my 480 with a regular crescent type one.

any leads on where to get one?

thx.

Are you seeking data for a modern reproduction or an original Winchester?

new model 86.

Al

time to fire up this new 86, looking for a smokeless load for a 405gr jacketed.

Hopefuly somebody has a Varget load they could share.

thx

Al

anybody have a spare rear laying around for a 71/86 they want to sell?

thx.

Al

what did you have to give for it, if you don't mind me asking?

and who has ammo?

I left mine crescent, and when you take a 525gr pill over 2000fps, it test my insanity every time.

Al

my best so far is a 375#ish spring bear from Manitoba. I've seen bigger bears up there, and anymore I hold off to connect on one of those big boys .............unless decent color phased bear comes in, then it's hammer time.

50-110 or 50 Alaskan is always my choice.

Al

oh that cresent butts gonna hurt!!

Al

I have the same gun and she was NIB.....................oh.............. for about a hour after I picked her up.

She's been a shooter with everything I've tried, you'll be happy.

Now, I just need to find a HG carbine.

Al

Mike, good to hear from you.

I see them on the auction sites every now and then, figure I'd wait till somebody got bored with theirs...............................like that would ever happen

Al

I think the springs weak, I streched it some and it locks back up now, but going to have to hunt down another one.

Al

lol. I did have a BPCR in 45-70 once, that gun would flatout shoot everything you put in it.

Then I see these and get to thinking about punching one out to 50-140!!

Dunno, it is a bit of ole jingle, but your right, only live once.

Al

anybody have one of the Davidsons limited 85's?

Been tossing around the idea of getting one...........for whatever reason I do not know.

Al

I checked, it does move freely, but I can't tell if the spring is weak or if the plunger is wore.

I take it apart later today and compare it to my Browning, but my luck, the mikour's will be all together different.

thanks.

Al

Geesh, been awhile.

Have a 71 Winchester that the lever won't stay closed unless you keep your hand in it.

I remember seeing a fix for it on the old board, but heck if I can remember what it was.

thanks.

This looks like a neat setup. A threaded aperture is available for the XS that will take Williams inserts or a Merit adjustable aperture.

Bruce, did you use the same front sight with that Ashley rear?

thanks, Al
