I ended up selling it on a local gun site. I asked $500 was offered $450 came back with $475 and the offer was accepted. I'm happy and so is the buyer. Now I have some play money to go hunting with again. Still looking for a 99F with a tang safety in 308. The hunt is the best part.

iceman

Nothing wrong with a $200 model 11, you will enjoy it. I just sold my 99c, was asking $500 buyer offered $450 I came back with $475 and he accepted. That was my target price anyway, both people were happy. I haven't had much luck at shows either, all the sellers were waiting for the uninformed. (suc...

For field cleaning and removing heavy crud etc they are fine. When they look dirty they probably are.

iceman

If memory serves, there is an uncle mikes for the Mossberg 500. If you are handy you can drill and tap the band. I did this on my 356 but I messed up and it pulled through. Not much metal in those bands. On my circa 1943 model 94 I have a swivel installed in the forearm band. I believe this was an o...

WAY TO GO!!! Congratulations on a job well done.

Nothing like good wool clothes. Keeps you warm even if wet and nice and quiet when sneaking through the thick stuff.

Words to live by.

I would look around for an old stock off of another rifle. That way when your son grows into it he can have the original stock in its original condition. Look on any of the recoil pad manufacturers web sight and they should give the dimensions of their pads. If you want an inch shorter you would hav...

Sort of like hauling fence post holes, but it never fails when you get to where you are going they want round ones and you have square ones.

iceman

I was pleasantly surprised by its condition. The photos were not the best when I bought it but for $225 deliverd to my door I figured I had nothing to lose. It was in great need of an internal cleaning but other than that not bad for a circa 1955 shotgun. (lots of dried oil and crud inside but every...

Have a happy birthday. Remember it is only a number. Just a way to keep track of things.

iceman

Done.

iceman

Not surprised about the 338, but VERY surprised about the 444.

iceman

I redid a cedar chest once with maple veneer once. I got mine on Ebay.

Prayers for the young man and his family. You never know do you?

iceman

Lots of paint remove, a soft brush and a dental pick type tool and lots of patience.

iceman

Since it has been quiet lately I decided to clean up my 99c a bit. I cold blued the bottom of the mag, stripped off the crappy varnish the previous owner had put on and gave it an oil finish. Looks not bad. I still prefer my 99F, so I might sell this one and see what I can find in a 308 lever. I hav...

iceman

I would back up a bit to say at least 50 yards and try again, if still good back up another 50.

iceman

Sorry for your loss. Sounds like he had a good kick at the can.

iceman

Welcome from the great white north. Nice collection you have there.

iceman

That is great news!!!

iceman

I am blessed in that I can go out my back door and walk for an hour or so and not be bothered by anyone. I may still hear cars etc but all I see are trees and small openings. If i really want to get away, I can go to my cousins farm on the end of a dirt road and probably get lost if I don't pay atte...

airedaleman: I agree that 3c isn't bad, but when I asked if he was open to discussion he said the worst he could say was no. when an offer was presented he refused. Sort of the principle that if someone asks me is that my best price and I say "make an offer" that means i am open to discuss...

iceman

Need has absolutely nothing to do with it

just an excuse that sometimes works with swmbo.

iceman

He refused my offer of $250 and my other offer of $275. Good luck to him at $300. I simply told him to remember me if it doesn't sell at his asking price. Oh well I still have a 11-48 on the way to play with.

iceman

I have just sent a postal money order ($225) to purchase a remington 11-48 12 ga semi auto when a Remington model 11A came up on the same site for $300. I will of course stand beside my comitment to buy the 11-48, but the model 11 sure is nice. It has a suicide safety (inside the trigger guard) whic...

iceman

Remington model 11 16 ga circa 1939.

iceman

I have my Dad's model 67 single shot 22 and his Remington 870 20 ga. The 870 has a 26" modified choke vent rib barrel and has taken alot of partridge in its day.

iceman

Thanks for all the hard work in filtering out the bad ones.

iceman

Glad to hear she is doing well and we could be of help. Prayers continue for a complete recovery.

iceman

Looks like agreat way to end a year and probably a great way to start one too. Best wishes to all.

iceman

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! to everyone here and their family. We just finished a nice roast of venison with a couple of close friends. Unfortunately they are predicting freezing rain tonight so our friends left early because of the small country roads they have to travel on. So the wife and I will bring in th...

iceman

getitdone1: That is the basic history I have found so far also. The biggest change being a triger group /shell lifter similar to what is being used now in their current pump/semis, and a curved receiver instead of the humpback style.I plan to give it a try with a mixed mag of light to heavy loads an...

iceman

Done.

iceman

Probably just for a walking around shotgun. If my nephew wants it probably small game maybe ducks (modified choke barrel) or slugs for deer. His area is shotgun only for deer.

iceman

I am in the process of getting a Remington 1148 12 ga 28" plain modified choke shotgun. The pics look very good and only $200 so what the heck. This seems to almost as bad as leveritise.(this year I picked up a model 11 in 16ga and an Auto 5 mag in 12 ga) I'm probably going to clean up the wood...

iceman

Sorry to hear this.
I lost my grandfather and a cousin to senseless hunting accidents.
Thoughts and prayers to all involved.

iceman

Happy birthday to you. You have a little less than a year on me. (my b day was on the 19th I turned 57) I see we both have the same taste in rifles. That is a real nice looking one. Which model and what caliber?

iceman

Nice looking rifle!! Pretty hard to refuse a nice rifle like that one. If I ever find one that nice I think I would do the same thing.

iceman

That fellow has nerves of steel!! Moose can be very unpredictable. Sometimes they amaze you in how they can avoid you and other times the do really dumb things. As for being that close, no way. I would let her know I was there and let her move on if I was not hunting her, even if I ran the chance of...

iceman

I put my husky down myself about 2 years ago. It was the hardest thing I have ever done, but it had to be done. They are a great breed and truly man's best friend. Sorry for your loss, heal well.

iceman

Great story!!. The quality of a hunt is not measured by antler size, but the quality of the time spent with nature and friends. I am willing to bet that was a hunt you will not forget. Merry Christmas!!

iceman

Sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers for you and yours. I lost my Dad in 2000 and think of him everyday.

iceman

Nice going!! They are hard enough to see in the wild let alone getting a shot at one. I have seen their tracks, but never the chance to see one.

iceman

Looks like a lot of fun. (to watch) It might be more comfortable for you if it was left handed. Have you tried it with shot, or is it rifled?

iceman

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

iceman

For the moment my wish list is pretty small. I have found a couple of model 99s this year and I am quite pleased with them so far. Who knows though if I happen to find a reasonably priced 357 mag lever I could possibly be convinced to bring iy home. Right now I'm looking for eithr a Rem model 11 or ...

iceman

Merry Christmas to everyone here. In my opinion, the best people on the web.
