So, 1913 rail it is. Warne tells me - promptly, by the way - that their BAR bases have a different radius than their BLR bases. 0.670" for the BAR; 0.560" for the BLR. EGW base looks to be the best bet so far. Tally makes one for the BLR, also rebranded by Browning, but it appears to sit a...

Hello friends, I apologize if this has been previously discussed. My search here and elsewhere has been fruitless, or the answers were a decade old. Is there any interchangeability among BLR 81; BAR; and BPR bases? Base radius and screw-to-screw distance for front or rear base are what I'm after, ra...

New to me - but soon to be fired - Harpers Ferry reproduction made in Belgium

The most recent new examples I've seen in shops here have been real head scratchers. As in, "How did they let that get out of the factory?" and "Why wouldn't the store send that one back to their distributor?" The answer must be that people are buying them, so it doesn't matter. ...

Glad to read it. Someone was selling one on another board last week and I thought of you. Maybe that"s where Santa found yours

Hope you enjoy it, after a lifetime of searching. After Christmas, of course.

Contact Rob at www.simplyrugged.com He is a great guy and will make a great holster for you, at a fair price. Google him and you will read nothing but raves about his services and products. I have five of his holsters, along with others from El Paso, Mernickle, Milt Sparks, Barranti, Alessi, Del Fat...

Perfect - thank you.

Oh, shoot. That is sad news. He was a real gentleman and a master craftsman. Holsters he made for me are treasures, now apparently never to be replaced. I am sorry to read this. I knew he had been fighting for some time, but it is a shock anyway. God bless his family, loved ones, employees, and frie...

No pics; I've got one on order, too. I have a Silver Dollar Pancake of his for my M63 and it is one of my favorites. Rob is a first class guy, too.
You will be pleased with yours!

That's what I'd call a serious situation.

Another gun notorious for "plum" color is the HK P7. Early German police examples and those that have been remarked and reblued are notorious for their purple slides. They are either revered or reviled by the various camps.

Local seller has one in what seems to be pretty nice condition, and I'm intrigued. Haven't seen it yet, except for pictures. He's asking something around $700. Anyone have any advice on these, what to look for, etc? Not familiar with them, but I've been interested since reading John Ross :) Thanks! ...

My 1955 Mountie has neither a saddle ring nor a gold trigger. Then again, it has little blue remaining, either.

Outstanding rifles!

brionic

That's funny, I came to the same conclusion tonight after searching Brownells and finding only 1892 items available are Marbles tang sight (dropped by factory), Williams peep sight (uses the '94 verison) and AGI video and disassembly guide.

brionic

Nice, Bill! How does it shoot? My Marlin .44 is a pleasure to shoot, but it's got a rubber butt pad.

No, mine seems to be pretty black. I'll have to get a look at it out in the sunshine.

Funny how "plum" is desirable among some guns but reviled on others.

Bill, that's great stuff. I grew up near Burbank and you wouldn't believe how much it has changed. All that aerospace and industrial business is gone now, all the factories and plants. It has been replaced by multi complex shopping malls and business offices, with only a few parking lot standards an...

Thanks guys!

Casastahle, you're right, it does look like they've been turned. It could be the oil or flash; I'll have to check. The camera sees more than the eye, eh?

What sight are you having installed? Who is doing the work?

I'm going with .358 Winchester as the most underappreciated. For everything that this round can do well, from varmints to elk, brush to long range, in a short action, with proper rifle bullets in a lever action, it has got to be the hardest commercially produced round to find at retail... I guess it...

LNIB, but without the box :roll: that's OK, saved $200 and I'm going to shoot it anyway so who cares about the cardboard and styrofoam. I'd say it's 99.7%, with just a few tiny marks on the loading gate, the face of the hammer, and maybe a rub across the top if the hammer, but that may have been don...

That was always the "shortcoming" of the N-frame .357 - the short cylinder. S&W fixed that with the M19/66, which allowed handloaders to use longer bullets. But with the less robust frame, it became a bit of a wash. Personally, I don't appreciate the ultra short bbls on the newer revol...

I've got a '54 Mountie and I love it. The balance is terrific, and it points nicely when shouldered. Mine is badly worn. Most of the bluing is gone, the lever is a little bent, and the receiver is pitted. I don't care! It is a GREAT rifle. I would also investigate the Browning BL22. They are very ni...

I bought some of the Federal "Champion" 510 last week. They had been out for a while. I asked the "salesman" for a brick of it. "What?" A carton, I told him. "Sorry, we don't sell it by the carton." "Excuse me?" "We don't sell it by the carton, ...

Sounds a lot like the Southern California wildfires - no wonder if the eucalyptus trees, which are native to Australia, are as abundant in the suburbs there as they are in SoCal.

My heart goes out to all of the people who have been caught in this disaster.

That's unfortunate! Midwest Gun Works sells a lot of BLR replacement stuff, if you're interested. Not exactly inexpensive, but they do have factory stuff. You might be able to sell the "old" one and recoup some $$$. -- Br. PS - mine is a bit, err, "distinguished" and could stand ...

Ouch! No good. Even just a fall on my rear - on carpet, no less - took a month or longer to recover from. I'm no spring chicken, that's for sure.

We cooked food all day for another family - wife/mom is in the midst of medical trouble and we want to help ease their burden.
Funny thing was that they were, apparently, getting ready for the game and were almost too busy for us to bring over the meals.

Whether it is coincidence or not it seems they as a group are big pill pushers for a lack of a better term. They get "incentives" from the pharmaceutical companies. It is a growing issue in the medical community that has escalated in the last decade. There is certainly benefit for doctors...

Joe, I've seen them like that before. I've also seen metal to metal fit like that. It dosen't affect the performance of the rifle and is well within Marlin's "standards." +1 Except for my old Mountie, my Marlins all have had the same fit and finish issues, around the tang. Even where the ...

Get used to it. Phyician friends of mine tell me that within a generation the vast majority of doctors in this country, specialist aside, will be foreigners.

There was also a run of "cowboy" configured rifles in .41 magnum - the Cowboy Carbine Limited, or 1894 CCL, with smooth stocks, crescent buttplate, and 20" octagonal bbl.

Finally found one in .357 and bought it. I foolishly passed on one several years ago at King's in Glendale because they were asking the exorbitant sum of $600. I have regretted it ever since!

I've got one of his "field" holsters that is similar to the P6 but can be worn either strong side or cross draw. It is top notch - excellent design, terrific workmanship. Very lightweight but durable. It is for 6" S&W revolvers, and I have used it hunting with complete satisfactio...

Regarding the Marlin, it really depends on what role you want the rifle to fill. If you want to shoot heavy bullets, you can't beat the .45-70. But there is nothing wrong with the Marlin .44, IMO. Despite the slow twist rate, mine shoots everything I've put through it just fine - up to 300 gr. loads...
