I used to shoot a friends Single Shot .410 shot gun a lot and had tons of fun with it. Always wanted a Winchester 9410 and by the time I had the money to buy my first gun they were discontiued.

If I ever find a good price on one, I'll probably snag it.

I have a new model Blackhawk .357 Magnum/9mm Convertible and accuracy is pretty good at 15 yards with 9mm, .38 or .357 Magnum. It's better then I am. ;) As for getting another cylinder, I have no clue. Couldn't hurt to ask Ruger or a custom smith. 125 grain 9mm out of my Ruger is pretty easy on the ...

Carl, thanks for the range report. Sounds like you had a great time!

Here is a link showing the sight. Scroll down a couple posts. http://www.marlinowners.com/forums/index.php/topic,25486.0.html That Ladder sight is really nice. Thanks for posting the link. It's nice to see someone making that style sight thats affordible. Didn't know what they were called till now,...

I like the skinner sights on my Marlin 1894C .357 Magnum. They work really well. Which one is the Ladder sight? I'm not seeing one called that on his website. I have the 1894 Peep sight and front blade. Congrats on the new sight.

Hmm, 1893 is sounding good I'll give it a try. Daughters sixteen and her younger sister will be using a 336 SS she got two days ago for her birthday. I'm trying to keep both of them away from guys with nicknames like wildman though. :mrgreen: Sounds like a great family when both sisters shoot lever...

wildmanh

Thats a nice rifle you have there. Thanks for the pictures. Good luck with the parts. Please keep us updated.

Just curious, how old is your daughter and is she single? - any girl that can handle a .30-30 lever gun is good in my book.

I have a Rossi copy of the '92 and an 1894 Marlin Cowboy in .357. Both are great guns. I find the Rossi (same as the Puma) to be more critical as to overall cartridge length than the Marlin. Also, you can single feed the Marlin faster . All you have to do is place the cartridge into the ejection po...

I believe I payed about $460 for my 1894C in .357 Magnum back in March. When I got mine I bought a few different types of ammo to test in it. I like the 125 grain HSM .357 Mags or .38's and 158 grain Independance ammo.

I only got to a range with at least 1 buddy. Be that an indoor or out door range. When I'm at an outdoor range I like to have 3+ people and leave 1 of then with a loaded gun watching the other guns. Went shooting Friday with friends at an outdoor public range, there were 5 of us. Some guys followed ...

I have the Marlin 1894C in .357 Magnum and love it, got it this spring. Took it and my Henry H001T .22 shooting Friday evening with friends. I shot the Marlin more this trip. I've shot 125 and 158 grain .38 specials in mine with out any problems. HSM, Independance and Magtech are the brands I've tri...

Congrats on going after a Henry. I'm thinking of buying an H001 some day to compliment my H001T. Fun guns to shoot. Please let us know when you get it, how it shoots and please remember the pictures.

Heber

wildmanh

Congrats to your son!

Nice H001, I may need to get me one someday to go with my H001T. How's he like the 1894 in .357 mag?

Heber

wildmanh

Congrats wildmanh :D !I can't wait for the range report. Thanks Jaguarundi! Not sure when my next range trip will me. I start a new job soon and have no clue of my new schedule yet. The good thing is, after training I'll have more "play"money for guns and ammo. I'll keep everyone updated....

wildmanh

Was able to install the new front blade with just a mallet and dowel this afternoon. Tapping with light presure it went okay. Now I just need to get out to sight it in again. I have 100 rounds of 158 grain .357 Mag which I'll use for that. Thanks for the help!

Heber

Lets see where this goes It's going shooting with me the next chance I get. :) Despite the occational loose screw, the rifles shoots great. Wish the action was as smooth as my Henry, but thats just a personal thing. LOL. Got to find a Vise so I can change the front sight. I could buy one but then i...

Use the blue on a screw that you might want to remove later. Red is for a permanent hold.

Thanks Slick, glad I asked which before buying the wrong stuff.

Guys, thanks so much for the links and pictures.

I'm looking at ordering a Williams WGRS 54 for my Henry H001T. Am with out a job at the moment so got to pinch pennies. Maybe I should stop shooting till I have another job but I don't want to. LOL!! Thanks again,

Hi guys, I bought a Skinner Peep sight for my Marlin 1894C .357 Magnum a few weeks ago and finally got to try it out last Saturday. I installed the Peep sight but kept the front blade stock (bought a replacement I'll be installing soon) just to see how it shot. The rifle shot rather high at 50 yards...

wildmanh

Thanks guys for the links to pictures.

That really helps. Anyone know of other brands of sights that might work? Just curious.

Heber

wildmanh

The 5D-GR sounds good and is in my price range. But does anyone have a picture of it? I'm not having any luck finding it online. Jdad, do you still have the FP-GR on your H001T? The WGRS-54, sounds like the right sight for my rifle. Again, any one know where I can see pictures? I'm a very visual per...

I spent yesterday evening shooting my Marlin with the new Skinner Peep sight and loved it. Was thinking it would be cool if I could find a Peep sight for the Henry cause I shoot it a lot more. Do you guys know of any Peep sights that will work with the Henry H001T Frontier model? Make, model, sorce ...

This weekend I went to Sportsmans Warehouse to get some ammo and reloading supplies. Figured I start reloading for my 1894C and Blackhawk.

Scott, thank you for the information. I just ordered a Peep sight and front sight for my Marlin 1894c. Both of them brass. Can't wait for them to arive so I can try them out. Tim seems to be a great guy to deal with, has been really helpfull in emails. Thanks again,

Welcome to the fire bones507. Nice to have another Vegas leverguner here! Tycer said it like it is, not much to add.

It can't be worth more then $150, but since I like old guns I'll give you $200 for it.

Just kidding, I have no clue of the value but I'd be honored to own it if I could afford it.
