Beautiful rifle. I have only seen one at the Tulsa show and I thought it was one of the best looking levers, plus I had heard that they really were accurate. You got a find!!

Thunder50

I figure they would pass on the 35 caliber, because of the 356Win, and they make the 35 Rem gun now. I am thinking along the lines of a 375 Marlin Express or a 411 Marlin Express. Was leaning towards making a 411 Marlin express, but the 375 ME looks pretty good. Only thing that would keep me from ma...

Thunder50

Yes, it has the slider on the rear sight. Its as low as it can get. Need a front sight about .050" taller. Will probably scope it, but like to try open sights first, although its getting harder and harder to see the sights (55+).

Thunder50

Here you go. 300gr Remington on left.

Thunder50

The uppetr tang is the biggest gripe. I can live with it, but ever time you put you thumb on it, you can feel the imperfections quite easily.

Just picked up the 338MXLR this afternoon and thought "some light left--see if the wind is howling at the range" so off I went. Was kinda muddy and about a 10mph wind from 2 o'clock. Pulled it out of the box and checked the bore, so set up to try it out. First shot was about 20" high....

Thunder50

And if you are shooting smokeless, instead of Black powder, you could just use the Lee tumble lube.

Thunder50

Leverevolution bullets are now in stock at Midway. Ordered some this morning

Thunder50

Went to the range and shot two of my EBR's, about 150 rounds downrange. 450 Bushmaster and .223. Oh yeah, ordered me a Marlin MXLR in .338 Marlin express. Should be here, maybe Friday!! Pics when it gets here!! Best way I could think of to celebrate!!!!

Thunder50

I shot plain old WW super x 22's thru my circa 1978 39A and that sucker shot like you wouldn't believe. Shot a 4 round group at 150yds that you could cover with a dime. Probably a fluke, as I didn't try a second, but they will shoot.

Thunder50

You could also take the 338 Marlin express and open it up for .375" bullets or go to .358" bullets and use the 35 cal Leverrevolution bullets (200 gr). I would think that you would be looking at 35 Whelen ballistics then. I am more thinking of going the .375 route with a rebored 338 mxlr (...

Thunder50

I think Zanders had a bunch in stock, at least they did yesterday. They were the blued models. I would want a MXLR myself. Saw an article in AR today about the gun/caliber. They said it was based on the 376 Steyr, but if you look at the dimensions, you could cut down a 45-70 about 3/16th of an inch,...

Thunder50

All I have been taught , as a pilot, is that when you are attempting a water landing, is that you leave the gear up. It would cause quite a bit of drag and cause the nose to come down faster. Whatever I was taught, that pilot did one fine job, and deserves any accolades he gets. He deserves a BIG &q...

Thunder50

Yes, its a Ruger #1 rifle. Will try a different primer. Sizing my bullets to .360" diameter and right now the Lee 180gr is running just under 2,300fps with no leading and no idications of primer flattening or cratering. Guess I will keep on working at finding some more good loads. Thanks

Thunder50

Been fighting with my Ruger that I rechamber to 357 max, using a custom reamer that I had Dave Manson make for me. I dimensioned it for use with the lyman 358627 bullet. Also been shooting some Lee 258-180gr fpgc bullets along with Remington 200gr rn bullets. Needless to say, the groups at 100yds wo...

Had my right shoulder done about 7 years ago. Had three holes, one in front, one in back and one one the arm. Sometimes, they still itch. Surgery wasn't too bad and at home the pain wasn't too bad also. Vicodin/Darvocet and the such don't work on me. Used the old standbye of tylenol/aleve and it wor...

Thunder50

I would be worried that if it is a cast barrel and it is a casting flaw, that during the course of shooting the 1-200 rounds, you might have a catastrophic failure of the barrel and get yourself hurt.

Thunder50

I will have to call you guys out on the idea that every destroyed pistol is the result of an overcharge/multiple bullets. I have a S&W M-29 10.5" sihlouette gun that was destroyed by detonation. I had only loaded 13 rounds, weighed every one(no powder thrower), visually double checked the p...

Thunder50

Been thinking about the 50-90. I have a 7 year old new Pedersoli/cimarron Sharps clone , in 50-70 that I have been thinking of rechambering to 50-90. Course, also have been thinking of selling the thing also, as I haven't shot it in 7 years, probably won't get around to doing it.

Thunder50

You can always seperate the lower from the upper and you will have a much more compact package, that is, unless you want the collapseable buttstock.

Thunder50

Hey Sixgun, nothing a little bondo and bailing wire won't fix---wait, thats my truck

Wanna tell the story about that????? Bet we all have a story or two!!!

Thunder50

Check out Accuracy Systems and their website. They have just what you want, although they are proud of it ($$$). You can also get 260rem, 338fed, 358win, and 450marlin uppers for the AR10, as well as just barrels or complete guns. I think highly of the 358, heck, for that fact, the 35's are just abo...

Prayer sent for either a speedy recovery or a painless passing.

My mother passed away from the same thing, but she was only 42. I know what you are going through

Thunder50

Second the good rest. I have a Marlin MG 35rem that just loves the LE ammo.

Thunder50

Yup, those of us who would want to hunt there should pitch in and help buy the place

. Kinda looks like Texas

Thunder50

Friend borrowed my Ruger blackpowder rifle and can't find the part to remove the breech plug. Need dimensions of the slot so I can make another. Thanks

Thunder50

What about taking the decapping part out of the die and using a vise to size the case. You would have to knock it out with a rod, but you could run the case alot farther up into the die. Kind of like the old lyman sizing dies.

Thunder50

Why not just buy the Lee mould. Quite a bit cheaper. Also, over on Castboolits.gunloads, someone was talking about the 500 and had an attachment. Unique for 1000fps loads and H4227 for the stouter, hunting loads. It was the "Guns Magazine--January 2007 " issue , had the data

Thunder50

Took the Marlin to the range today. Not too bad--31 degrees and cloudy w/4" snow at the range----but NO wind (ususual for there)!! Started out shooting into the 100yd berm to see where it was hitting, as I just put a scope on it. About 3 ft right and 8" low. Few more shots got me close, so...

In the oil and gas business here (Geologist), needless to say that people are still going to drive, just not as much. My job reflects things also, I didn't get let go, but I lost about 70% of my income. Its gonna hurt, big time, but at least I have some coming in, unlike others, who have none. Been ...

Picked up an old (1960) 336 rc in 35 Rem years ago, but never shot it. Took it to my friends house for him to put in his safe, so if I came to visit and it happened to be deer season, then I had a rifle. I brought it home after my friend died this Spring, but I am going to put a scope on it and take...

Thunder50

The small field piece is definitely on my list, love a Hotchkiss mtn rifle in 37mm, along with a Gatling, preferred in 357 or 44 mag. Next would be a good double rifle in 45-70 (Best chance of this than the first two). To get to reality now: Marlin 1895 in 40-65 336XLR in 338 or 358 Hornady express ...

Thunder50

Try putting two layers of making tape on the case head of one of the 200rg rounds and see if the bolt will close--it shouldn't. It would probably close on one layer, but with a bit of difficulty. This should tell you if you headspace is off. Try this with the 150's also. Did you try and re-cock the ...

Thunder50

Thanks. Get to thinking and no telling what will pop into my head!!! May have to look into that 7mm STE or the 7mm bellm

Thunder50

Saw one at the Tulsa show, a month ago, and if I remember correctly, it had a $1,399 tag on it.

Thunder50

Got my 358/444 Rifle out of the safe to change scopes and re-sight in. Got to thinking that I just used a 358 reamer that I had, to make this rifle, that it wouldn't be much different to use a 7-08 reamer with the proper barrel, to make a 7-08 rimmed gun? You could use 444 brass, but case necks migh...

Thunder50

Almost hate to jump in on your gun store, but if you might want a 7mm WSM instead, I have a unfired 1885 with box (no papers) that I would sell for $900 + shipping. Save you a little, but unknown what your shop might charge you for the transaction, so it might not be worth it.

Thunder50

Would like to replace the buttstock on my Rossi and just wondering if one of the stocks from a Winny would work. Thanks

Sorry about that. I mean another stock from a Win. 92. Want something like the stock on the 454 casull, for my 45colt Rossi with the crescent buttplate.

Thunder50

Try the Hornady single shot pistol bullet. Its a 180 gr spire point. Probably have to be single loaded in a levergun.

Thunder50

Figured someone here would know about this. Went to the metal yard to try and find a piece of aluminum to mount the press I bought. Nothing new in what I wanted, so browsed looking for Wheelweights and looked in a box that usually has range brass in it. Saw this in there, so picked it up and bought ...

Thunder50

Went to Oklahoma to work and just had to go to the Tulsa show. Lots of stuff that was overpriced (except for the Ruger #3 in 44mag--$500---must resist!!). Bought a bit of ammo and a few other things. Tempted on many other things, but didn't have any luck trying to sell my 1885 Win, so no $$ to get w...

Thunder50

Plenty of guns, but thats the only thing they had plenty of. Ammo was minimal. Out of most calibers, pistol and rifle, and some shotgun stuff left. Powder and bullets and primers were another story. They had some 8 lb'ers left , but only about 10 cans of one pound each. Some 4 lb caddies. Most every...

Its a rifle.. Wood to metal fit is very good. Here are a few pics

Thunder50

Had a Browning redone to 38-72, so thinking about getting rid of my 35 Win. (1912) 1895 Winny. Excellent blue and a nice plum on the barrel. suspect a reblue job at some time as its too nice. Excellent bore (1.5" @ 100yds) and good wood. Been looking at Gunbroker to see what it is worth, but ha...

Thunder50

I have two of them. Trigger pull isn't too bad, but the rear sight is plastic. Once I get the right height figured out, I will put a williams on. Nice light carbine. Might put a scope on one or get rid of it and only keep one. They are kind of scarce. Wish they would have made one with a wood stock ...

Thunder50

Would you want all three boxes? Thanks

Could bring it to the Tulsa show and meet you so to save shipping.

Thunder50

Its the Browning marked stuff. Thanks

Thunder50

Going thru some of my ju--err. stuff and found three boxes of this ammo. Knew I had it, just didn't remember where. Whats a fair price for it. Its the 200gr silvertip. Thanks

Thunder50

Hear that about the $1000 rifles with the $100 scopes. Seen plenty of that. Or the 4 guys from Texas, all with 300 weatherbys that their neighbor loaded their ammo (corroded, uneven neck length, different bullets) and wondered why their guns wouldn't group. Those hotshots that think they are so good...

Thunder50

You could say it was an interesting day. Most of the guns were bolt guns, but had 5 BAR's today. Cannot remember more that one, ever. Finally got 4 of them sighted in, but the last one just wouldn't group over 8" with the ammo he had. Wish I would have had my XLR with me. I could have shot ring...
