I appreciate all the inputs, and I'll now try to take her down. I have no idea when it was done the last time.
Thanks again!

I came across this Savage 1899 in .250-3000 that is a take-down model. It is in pretty good shape, and the forearm releases as it should, but I am very wary of taking it down any further until I checked with you fellas. I tried to find info on how to just "take-down" it, but I couldn't fin...

I have to say that Utah has very decent gun laws. We have open carry here; with or without a CCW, it is legal. Without a CCW it just has to be unloaded. That means that if you don't have a concealed weapons permit, you may open carry a semi-auto with a full clip, as long as there is no round in the ...

I too wish condolences for you and your family on the death of your father. I lost my Dad in February of this year, and it's a tough thing to handle. Thankfully, you will put your dad's memory in the part of your heart that was taken up by sorrow at first. God bless you! Winjester I just inherited a...

I just finished reading the book "Battle Cry Of Freedom, The Civil War Era" by the Pulitzer prize-winning author James M. McPherson. It was a lengthy read, but it really delved into the politics, prejudices, and the overall causes of the War Between The States. It was a real eye-opener to ...

Adding to what YK said about being young and carrying firearms with nobody concerned about their safety or ours, I probably stated this before. When I was growing up on a farm in N. Minnesota, I carried an old .22 springfield single shot rifle with me everywhere I went. It was like part of my arm. I...

My son took me to the local outdoor range for father's day, and it was a real relaxing time. He took a Marlin 336 in 30-30, plus an AR-15. I took my Uberti Henry in 44-40, plus my Ruger O.A. BP, and a small concealed carry Colt .32 ACP model 1903. I haven't got any shot-up targets to post here, but ...

I really like the 32/20 cartridge also. I have a well-worn Win.'92 that is one of my favorite levers. It was made in 1911, and has the 24" octagonal barrel. Here's a couple of pics of the old girl! http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o234/winjester/100_1082.jpg [/img] http://i121.photobucket.com...

Leverdude,
That's a fine looking piece of work. I can never get my inletting to turn out that good. Do you use any power tools (Dremel, etc.) to inlet, or do you do it all by hand?

I purchased an old beater Winchester 1907 in .351 caliber. Someone had replaced the stock with what looked like to be a stock from a Winchester lever, but the butt plate doesn't fit any descriptions in my books. The dimensions are: top of tang to bottom of toe- 4&9/16", Length of tang-2&...

I'm leaning towards a conversion cylinder for this one.

It's funny you should mention that, because a fellow offered me $100. above what I paid for it before I left the sale. As a bonus, he offered the price in front of my wife

I picked this Ruger OA up at an estate sale today. It was one of those that you fall in love with at first sight. It's a ROA in satin stainless steel with mother-of-pearl bird's head grips. It is marked on the top of the barrel with the words;" Made in the 200th year of American Liberty". ...

It certainly has lightened my wallet over the years! :shock: Actually, I have noticed acceleration in the outflow of paper money since joining this forum, while seeing an inflow of lever-action guns. I wonder if there is a correlation? Think I can get a government grant to study this phenomenon? :r...

You have my deepest sympathies. My father recently passed on, and the support I received from this forum was genuine, and greatly appreciated. You are at the right place to share your grief, and receive guidance on what to do with your Dad's firearms.

That is a rare and nice combo! I have never heard of a 25-20 pistol either.

I just want to thank everyone, especially YK, for suggesting and posting all of these beautiful combos. I'm like a kid in a candy store looking at all these "sweet" firearms. My question is; Can all this eye candy lead to diabetes of the eyeballs? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Winjester

Talking about caliber combos, I thought I'd throw in one of my non-levers. I guess you don't see this combo very much. The revolver is a H&R 676 with dual cylinders, (.22WMRF & .22LR). It was manufactured in 1980, and it's a tack driver! The rifle is a pre-68 Colt Colteer semi-auto .22LR. It...

I would probably have to say that I would like to have the 1860 Henry Rifle prersented to President Abraham Lincoln. It's a beautiful piece. Like it was said before, we can always dream!

May be an SC with a wrong roll mark!

The rear sight looks like a Buffington sight that was used on the later Springfield trapdoors. Did the existing mounting holes line up with this sight?

I need help with this one. My brother back in Minnesota just let me know that he purchased a marlin model 336-A in .32 special. The serial # E291XX shows that it was manufactured in 1948. The "A" designation shows that it is a rifle, and is supposed to have a 24" barrel. However, his ...

I found a man who is a real professional at what he does, and that is to duplicate older, hard-to-find parts. Jack Schwartz is his name, and his business is East Taylor LLC. He manufactures a replacement front handguard and a rear sight for the Win. 95 carbine, along with other firearm parts. His wo...

Collector's Firearms has what I believe might have been the original configuration, save for the added recoil pad. Fairly good pictures - even one of the left side of the receiver showing wear from where a similar receiver sight once rode. http://www.collectorsfirearms.com/admin/product_details.php...

Winjester

Sixgun is right about the price of the original parts for these. The original buttplate cost me around $200. Don't even ask about the price for the original rear barrel-mounted sight!
Winjester

Winjester

I'm no expert by any stretch of the imagination, but IMHO, I believe the forearm has been shortened a little. Probably the end was damaged, and it was cut back to hide the damage. I'm enclosing a picture of mine for comparison. I love these old 95's! Winjester[img][img]http://i121.photobucket.com/al...

I want to thank all of you who offered up prayers for my Dad's last request for all his children to be at his side before he passed away. God granted his request , and we all sat with him until he left us on 2Feb.
