so glad to hear your are getting out and doing so well.. just outstanding !! you are tough !

hfcable

An accurate revolver will be accurate whether the sights are fixed or adjustable. I can shoot better with adjustable sights, but my skill is not the reason the gun does or doesn't shoot well. My skill is the reason why I shoot badly or well with any gun. Having shot few fixed sight revolvers, my sk...

hfcable

i agree ....but i have several colt new frontier models with the adjustable sights and find that i prefer them for most uses !

anymore i am not so tempted by fixed sight revolvers

hfcable

wow ! that is a beauty !

hfcable

i have an 1894 38/55 made in 1895, not as nice as yours i think, but it has gone on numerous fly-in remote hunts and taken caribou, and i think the rifle and i both enjoyed the adventure !! https://i.imgur.com/7mf49WI.jpg even this very rare and fine 1876 in 50/95 has gone on a remote hunt too https...

hfcable

amazing !!

warms my heart to see those

hfcable

that is darned interesting !

hfcable

i lucked out a little while ago and got 4 cans of unique [ from brownells]

i am going to try Scott's 45 STC load [ STC = 'shoots through cows' ] with the 8 gr of unique !!

hfcable

thank you. i am happy to be the caretaker of this piece until i pass it on, probably to grandkids

hfcable

i will be back in alaska in a few weeks and will try to get those pictures taken and posted

hfcable

i will post more pictures in a week or two when i am back in alaska. there was a firearms engineer, designer, and collector in california who made this and several other neat things, and i got them from his estate after he passed. he made a lot of this stuff by hand, and was obviously a good machini...

this custom rifle, made from an original 1890 winchester pump in 22 short. take down model, very well balanced and smooth operating gun with 24 oct. barrel, just ordered a tang sight to fit it: https://i.imgur.com/5QLO2BY.jpg https://i.imgur.com/tilxzIV.jpg https://i.imgur.com/HiftRep.jpg https://i....

hfcable

very happy birthday !!

i am only just over a year behind you , if i make it : )

hfcable

they are really well made. i have one in 22 magnum with the extra cylinder for 22 LR and also one that is just a 22 LR

hfcable

the last forty years or so have seen the replication of a whole host of interesting firearms, that i only dreamed about as a young person: henry rifle, winchester 1866 and 1873, winchester 1886, 1892, 1895 including the legendary 405, and numerous handguns, including richards and mason conversion re...

hfcable

that is really nice !

hfcable

ahhhhh

great little pistols and neat 'knife' stye case

hfcable

looks like the holster for the freedom arms mini revolver. i have one of those includng this type of holster

i also have the belt buckle that holds the pistol too.

hfcable

i gotta have one, at least one.

hfcable

and in 380 !

i want one, and i really NEED one !

hfcable

it is just amazingly small for how well it shoots.

hfcable

here is the stainless... the blue one is in alaska, and i am in montana right now https://i.imgur.com/G9iYfOk.jpg https://i.imgur.com/XzcWFFe.jpg https://i.imgur.com/5nqYRk1.jpg had a gunsmith [ now retired ] do an excellent trigger job on it, and it is a great shooter and a super little trail gun !

hfcable

will do

hfcable

i have the adjustable sight bearcat in stainles and in blue. they are excellent.

hfcable

that is amazing !!

the 1876 is one of my absolute favorites

hfcable

are those originals? beautiful

hfcable

wow ! beautiful drilling ! 9.3 x72R is a good caliber as well, and loaded ammo is available fairly well for it.

That Marlin is just beautiful too !

hfcable

excellent post! thanks!

hfcable

supposedly the folding stock was made to use with short barreled savage shotguns, maybe issued as survival tools by aircrews in WWII. Sarco had them advertised for years, in these hermetaically sealed paper-like pouches that were foil lined. if finally bought one and had it for years ,long before i ...

hfcable

i had one of those 24-C campers and found a folding stock [ Sarco had them, WWII surplus supposedly, for $4.99 still sealed in its package ] and installed it. well...... my son just immediately appropriated that gun ! https://i.imgur.com/NZ1ObKL.jpg https://i.imgur.com/sPj6W5o.jpg he still has it an...

hfcable

that is great work !! your grand daughter is supremely talented , what an amazing young woman.

hfcable

excellent find. i had one and shot a couple of caribou with it. shot very well. very well balanced and smooth

sold it because i thought i had too many 45/70s [ it was only 14 or 15 of them]

should have kept it.

hfcable

Van Helsing ammo looks like that and was endorsed by bram stoker, who was a part owner.

hfcable

you cant buy this in a gun shop. volcanic/henry custom made in 22 LR [ made from a winchester pump 22]. small and light weight 18" barrel : https://i.imgur.com/tuPFq2G.jpg and this set could be a practical hunting and camping companion set, and a good starter for a youngster: https://i.imgur.co...

hfcable

darn, that 95 in 30/40 krag is a great combination. i beleive that was once the primary rifle of the Arizona Rangers . nice !!

hfcable

i have had several 1895s, including a 405 that i have had for about 40 years. i have a russian musket: https://i.imgur.com/AZq5ho9.jpg and an NRA musket: https://i.imgur.com/8kSIs9s.jpg and this 405 with the ' african express sights' https://i.imgur.com/rQrOawX.jpg https://i.imgur.com/tIx87ie.jpg

hfcable

i have this original made in 1927 with the lyman 21 sight. this one shoots one ragged hole groups at 50 yds with the first [ and subsequently last ] load i tried in it it is one one of my favorite and must trusted lever guns: https://i.imgur.com/wjOPJZE.jpg https://i.imgur.com/XfoaLhW.jpg https://i....

hfcable

777 works very well for me in the 45/70. use equivalent volumes [ not weights] and leaves very little residue. good accuracy in several lever guns and in trapdoor rifles [ repros ]

hfcable

Funny that I read about the mossberg for the first time, then went to one of my honey holes later the same and they had one for sale. First time ive ever even heard of one. it is not a very common gun to find. the 35 remington was only made for 2 years. there is also a fancy Roy Rogers version of t...

hfcable

thank you. i have accumulated stuff for many years, and now..... somehow.....i got old and cant do all the stuff i planned with my toys.

oh well, i have a son and daughter who like guns and shooting, and two little grand kids that i have already started with their own little 22s

hfcable

all of this is very interesting. i finally found an 1888 for a reasonable price some years ago. it is a 44/40 . has a pretty good bore and functions well but cosmetically is a 'just an old gray dog':

hfcable

for comparison here is my stevens 425 in 35 remington:

hfcable

i do believe it the mossberg 472

here is mine in 30/30

and here is mine in 35 remington

i think its the mossberg 472, made in the 70's in 30/30 and in 35 remington

hfcable

blackhawk...... gotta have adjustable sights on most of my guns

hfcable

terrific !

hfcable

i have had several . the 454 rossi i have now has serial number 5GN020140

not sure when i got that one.

hfcable

i have a severe lever action addiction and at age 78 cant expect a cure !!

hfcable
