Great Cat story Jim! My favorite is when My Kids were little about 35 years ago We spent a day out in N/E ohio on a big farm with friends. out back of the Big barn was a pond about 2 acres and the kids loved to fish. We made our way to the pond and about a dozen cats followed like sharks. The owner ...

That's a Dandy Bill! I had the exact same rifle years ago but in .45 colt. Great shooter as well. I always wished it was in 44-40. that toggle link action really is addictive. Have Fun.

.45colt

Thank You.. All of You that make Leverguns run everyday . There truly is No Place Like Home.

Very nice Jason. It's a shame that We can hunt in Ohio with any straight walled cartridge but the 30-30 is just toooo much gun.

I'm not a Coot....I'm a COG .Certified OLD Geezer. I showed up here in 2000, then when they re-did the forum All had to sign up again . I have Marlins in many calibers and haven't had trouble getting decent groups.

I have two 45-70's . A Marlin for Deer Hunting and an 86/71 to use for weight training. It's good to know It will take anything in Ohio including the Zoo.

Both the Gun and Your Shooting are VERY Impressive. If our Old Friend from the East See's this He may do a War Dance.....

I have a RWS 350 magnum, it's a beast weighs about 8lb and cocking effort is 45 lbs. I have the usual Crossman pellets and wally world also had some Ruger 17gr on the shelf. One of the local gun shops had the H&N pellet assortment and I grabbed it. very interesting to shoot different ones. Momma...

Pat, You could contact our member "Coyote Nose" . I believe He is a retired machinist and He has built and repaired many classic Guns including a '76 in 45-60. I had some dealings with Him several years ago . He may be able to help. Keep us informed.

Thanks Guys. back TTT for the Doc.!

.45colt

I have one so You really Got My attention. can't wait to see it.

.45colt

Sorry about Your Dad Jason. You could try giving Jaquas in Findlay a call . I was at the new store last August . They have everything from low end to some of the most expensive guns I have ever seen. hundreds of them. They will surly know who can do an appraisal. Good Luck Pard.

I looked around and found this From John I had read years ago . " I have personally taken about 10 antelope and 1 mule deer with a .45 Colt. My wife has taken around 6 antelope and 5 mule deer with her .45 Colt. She uses a 4 3/4" Seville and the handload is a 260 Keith cast at 900 fps. Thi...

After seeing Earmick's post about the shingles I have to ask this question. This year the Wife and I went to South Carolina the week of Easter and had a Great vacation . Came back to Ohio cold and rain and on May 7th we came down with covid. The Wife wasn't too sick but I was near going to the E.R. ...

I'd like to hear that Walt. The big news around here was a Black Bear Sunday down the street .

.45colt

Wow, that is off the hook with the Cool Factor!

. How is the bore?

.45colt

Sarge, When it worked the double action was fast and smooth, the grips fit great. I don't expect much out of an inexpensive gun. but it has to be reliable. This is one I would take to the river and very well may have gotten dunked along with Me.

.45colt

I Too am glad they took care of the problem. A few years ago I bought one of Charters .22 revolvers to have a lightweight gun to pack in My fishing gear. It was for a short time terrific and I was very Happy. around 300 rounds it started to misfire and I returned it under warranty. They had it quite...

In '76 I was 22 and totally Nuts. I bought a 3200 skeet gun for $550.00. My Family was

. That gun was for Me a machine and I shot it so much that targets looked like the lid of a Garbage can. I even did pretty well at international skeet with it. To be Young again with out a care.!

Every time I See Walnut like that I'm transported back to the local Gun Club in the 70's & 80's . A new Wingmaster Field Gun was around $225.00 and TB Trap guns weren't too much more. about every week some Shooter would order an 870 Trap or an 1100 . A small group usually gathered around for the...

Awesome All Around! Congrats.

Jason that rifle must be a dream to shoot off of a Bench. Sweet!

Here along Lake Erie We had a real old fashioned winter this year and so far this spring have had around 12" of rain. a lot of the fields haven't been planted yet. I wish I could send some rain to You Guys who need it. the mosquitos are horrible and about the best time to be outside is on the l...

Scott, In the pictures of the horse & riders above the middle Horse looks huge. I'm not much of a horse guy. That one looks Tall!

I bought My Marlin CL 32-20 in '07 after Kirk D from Canada posted here about the round. Starline has 1000pcs of brass for $246.50. The 32-20 and 45-70 will do anything I could ask for in Ohio. They would be the last I would ever sell.

.45colt

That's Terrific !! Love the Marlins. Good Shooting.

.45colt

Some dealers are going to make a killing on that sale....50-95,45-75, more than 20k pieces of .33 Win. Like a Treasure.

.45colt

I have had a Love affair with Air guns most of My life. The .20 caliber Sheridan I bought for $37.00 when I was fourteen is still shooting well. during covid I got a RWS 350 Mag in .22 caliber . the .177 are too small for My hands and I would surely need a pellet pen. I shoot mostly Crossman .22 pel...

Anymore if I See "Them" who ever they are in the Driveway. I don't answer the door. knock and go away please.....For a few years in the summer We would have Guys driving around in an old truck selling Restaurant Quality Beef . I was out in the Garage one day after cutting the grass, radio ...

What a Great picture Bill. A truly American story. My Dad would have fit right in the picture. He like a lot of Young Men had a hard life during the depression ,dug ditches pick& shovel every day to survive. WW2 broke out and Dad said that Boot Camp was a country club. He Loved the Army, never s...

I had cataract surgery on both eyes about nine years ago. age 62.

I delt with a large retina specialists grou...

That's a Great picture Walt. Nothing like the views out West. I'll be happy if We don't get any snow here for the next year. Thanksgiving weekend N/E Ohio got 4-6' of snow , the roads were closed and at 71 I could find no fun in it at all. hundreds of barns,pole buildings and sheds collapsed under t...

.45colt

Thats a great load Bill. years ago I shot 110ffg under a 370gr T/C maxi ball from my Renegade at Family picnics . Just another "Thing" I won't be doing anymore.

. Give the King what He deserves.

.45colt

Happy Birthday! Glad You had a Great Time.

.45colt

Iikocher, I get it , In Your Shoes ( and I've been there ) in the 1854 the .44 mag is the winner all day long .ammo can be found just about anywhere and if You reload brass is cheap and easy to get. Good Luck.

.45colt

Grizz, I don't know about the twist in the barrel.....but here is some results................https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voMrfb2Q8DY&t=86s

.45colt

If the 1854 could handle the bigger magnums I would think they would have all ready have done it. You Look like a young Man so why not Go For it and Go Big.? Here is a reasonable Spike Driver. https://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-for-sale-online/rifles/big-horn-armory/big-horn-armory-lever-action-...

.45colt

I agree 100% with marlinman and I would defiantly shoot it..and Give Us a range report.

Bryan , You are a national Treasure. Thank You.

We have one here, 20" hex barrel, .357 mag. a lot of weight but it hangs really well offhand. I bought online it from a place in Kentucky prolly 20 years ago.$325.00. It must have been worked over for SASS because it is smooth and slick and a great shooter. My Daughter keeps it for a home defen...

I re-member reading about those Fine Revolvers along time ago. Got Me lookin around and found the article in the Gun blast archives. Hard to believe it was fifteen years ago! what a Treasure.

At less than 7lb this .450 should be a Hoot to shoot....
