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!

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 ...

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...

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.

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...

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

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....

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

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

hfcable

terrific !

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

not sure when i got that one.

hello from bozeman mt and wasilla ak

i spend more time here in montana now but still my primary residence is out in meadow lakes, outside of wasilla. been in alaska since 1984

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

yep !! 12 gauge street sweeper on my right hip and a full sized machete on the left hip. these make a bit of noise when i roll over in the bed.

actually on the early morning hours of december 26, my gggggrandfather, Casper Goebel, was captured by George Washingtons troops , when they crossed the Delaware and attacked the Hessian garrison.

taurus did make a colt lightning clone, and uberti and pedersoli also did, i beleive. also American Western Arms [ AWA} made a very nice copy as well.

rossi made the 22 pump guns

hfcable

large frame colt lightning

big bore , 50/95

Back in the late 70's to early 80's IMI made a 357 (and 44) pump called the Timber Wolf. Never have seen one in real life but those who are lucky enough to have one love them. Seems like there would still be a market for something like that. The Lightning repos are nice, a friend has one and is ver...

and very merry Christmas to you .

think about you often and miss your comments.

fairly frequently i look up articles on there. that, and Paco's books are are the best references that i have found for my lever gunning !

amazing score ! love those rifles !!

hfcable

great find !! i have an 1894 in 38/55 made in 1895, and it is one of my favorites, a great shooter.

have taken several caribou with it.

last year sold a uberti bisley in 44 special as new in box etc and i sold it for a price well below a new one wholesale. mm young man who bought it was tickled. his last name was James.... a direct descendant of the famous Jesse James. i felt really good about selling him his first ever single actio...

thanks !

its the smoothest lever action i have ever handled

the bullard is a bottom loader and was made in small frames and large frames, including 45/70

here is mine , in 45/70

and here is a video with a lot of info

i bought some of those from you and used them and they grouped really well. still have some left and have at least 20 or so of the loaded cartrirdges. good stuff !!

hfcable

that rear sight is the Charles Daniels ghost ring sight. it could be ordered on early special order winchesters or added on afteermarket. it is pretty useful and is pretty valuable in itself. ii have one on a remington model 25 pump in 32/20

while American Derringer Company was in business, they made a lot of interesting things and occasionally a run of odd ones. this is one of their OUs in 45/410. i have a couple of shorter barrel ones now and have had several others. i remembered this model and a year or so ago, i found one in an auct...

still photographing and cataloging my stuff and thinning the herd, and sometimes forget what neat things i have: this is the classic Savage 24V OU in 20 gauge and 30/30. i fitted a period weaver KV variable scope, with quick detachable mounts and also fitted a second set of 410/410 OU barrels as wel...

the model 150 is a very nice rifle, i have one of those and it works quite well !

hfcable

yes, it says i joined in 2007 but i was sure it was earlier. i was on the " campfire' web site from 1999 onward. i am an old coot, but i do have a lot of lever guns and have had even more over the years. one of my most favorites is this 1876 winchester in 50/95 caliber https://i.imgur.com/BSWOd...

it is really accurate, shooting right up there with the bolt action 17HMRs that i have.

do you mean rechambered to 30/03 ? i would think so, but would have to look at all the dimensions to make sure.

hfcable

i did have one in 35 WCF...almost too nice to use, and since i had the 405 i sold it to a friend. sorta wish i had kept it. its a great caliber !
