Pitchy
Prayers sent for ya. Just know where ever you are Christ has been there and has a way back for all our deepest times. Our hearts go out to you too brother.

They got a bad rap for blast and recoil, but my guess is poor stock design, and bad choice of factory powders, combined with a short barrel. Extend those to 22" and would have been a whole nuther animal.

thanks, hope you are right.

I dont plan on shooting anything, even my 22's till summer. By the way, got to thinking, my shoulder is nothing comapred to your injuries. Hows that leg healing?

Merry Christmas to all fellow leverguners!

The muzzle of the 307 barrel I got is considerably larger than my 375, seems kinda backwards to me.

Elmo

I understand a larger dia outside, but are you saying it does not fit the receiver? I also read I would need the barrel band for front, but not sure what else. Forend maybe?

handirifle

The barrel designed for an AE will have different extractor cut compared to the one for a top eject 94BB. I had read that the threads were different too between the two 94BB models. I have a top eject and an AE in 375 and the external barrel diameter at the breech end is the same but the AE has a m...

Hey can you trim off the limbs the turds are using to get TO the house? after they go out of course.

Nice shootin!

handirifle

Sometime back I started a discussion about necessary parts to convert a 94 BB from 375 to 307. I got the barrel, but some other parts were mentioned, and I have had a boatload of things to clear up before getting to this project, and lost track of what else was needed. Anyone know off the top (or el...

I can highly recommend the Soule sight from Lee Shaver.

In the words of Arte Johnson, Veerrry Interesting!

Nice work Pitchy. I have thought many times of making rimfire version of the Sharps rifles. I am a bit more encouraged seeing this.

Cutting Edge makes a couple, they are lead free and PRICEY. Midway has em. If lead is no issue, buy some low cost lead tipped ones, get a Harbor Freight metal cutoff saw, (mini) for about $17. They work great. One tip, is make sure the bullets have a cannelure in the correct location, after cutting,...

I had a 44 Trapper, for about a year. Traded it for a Marlin 1895 GS. I do not regret the trade at all, BUT not because i didn't like the gun, I loved it, but the 45-70 was what I really wanted. Now that it's gone, I do miss it. I was sooooo handy to carry, and packed a whallop. http://i110.photobuc...

handirifle

I would never recommend shooting a 375 in a 38-55 gun, ever, but, I would also guess, that if someone did it by accident, the fact that the 38-55 bore is .379 and the 375's bullets are .375, there's a real good chance the gun wouldn't blow up. i think the larger bore would prevent pressures from rea...

My 30-06 will go 2" high at 100, allowing for a hold on the back line of a deer at 300 and the tip of the bold cross hair on target at 400.

handirifle

I didnt know they even made a magnum primer in the small rifle size.
i agree on the selling that brass and getting std 308, why guess about load data when hundreds of loads are out there for the std 308?

handirifle

Ok thanks, was kinda wondering why they stopped production. Sales?

handirifle

Were the 99's very accurate, as a rule?

handirifle

One local dealer here, had 3, 99's on the wall. One was a 250-3000, the other was a 300 Savage, both were well used, not abused looking though. Bluing about 50% or maybe 70, and he was asking $600 each. Third one was less, I think it was a 243.

Hope that helps some.

Yep, I see where you meant. Nice shootin! Yea there's something about those slow heavy bullets that defies what all the magnum experts claim. It just plain kills. That's why those old black powder cartridges were so darn effective.

handirifle

Is there a possibility that someone (not factory) just re-bored and re-chambered it to 32 WS, and didn't mark the barrel, since it didn't have any other special markings on it to indicate Wrangler?

handirifle

OK thanks for the additional info.
Nice piggie, and good shooting. Is that red dot on his right side the entry or exit? What caliber is that Win you shot him with?

Nevermind, I re-read your post and saw the 45 Colt part.

rbertalotto Nice looking rifle and good work on the sights. I'd say they for sure are stable! I have a 26" octagon barreled 94 centennial, in 30-30. Do folks think as a rule, the 38-55 are more accurate than the 30-30's? just wondering. I was thinking of adding a tang sight to it, for long rang...

This is a fantastic DIY project but have you thought about just drilling and tapping the 307 Win barrel when you get to it. Wild West has an aluminum base that is $25. I'm thinking mainly about weight now. I have a M94 and just bought one for it. Not sure when I will get to putting it on. No I hadn...

I wonder if the teflon tape would melt and leave a residue in the bore?

handirifle

Yea if a 444 $399 would be a real good buy. One thing about the Win in 44 mag, is they usually have a tighter twist barrel than the Marlin, but that only matters if you're going after the heaviest bullets, like 300gr or so.

handirifle

10', now that's close shootin.

I hope to get it out and shoot it before too long. I have to admit, the look of that little red on top of the rifle, is starting to grow on me.

handirifle

I have one more question, Since it's kinda impractical to bore sight the Win lever, when I decided on the angle to mount the scope base in hopeful relation to the bore, I made it as close as possible to parallel to the bore (I hope) by making it level with the top of the receiver. Is that reasonable...

Ranch dog, Thanks for the tip. I will look into the Weaver. I like Weaver scopes anyway. I am amazed at how much better my objects look in twilight through my Leupold scope, compared to the naked eye. The mount looks good, one suggestion I would make is to use counter sunk holes and tapered screws. ...

Thanks, I never thought of it floating, but I guess it does. I have since completed the connection at the rear sight dovetail, and that has made it very solid. I will see how it hold up under fire and recoil. I remember that the XS scout mount for the Marlin Guide Gun ended up requiring the front do...
