Hornady still makes 86gr canelured jsp's. I haven't tried anything else, but if you have a supply of TrailBoss start at 9gr and work up to 11gr. DO NOT go over 11gr. FYI, the 11gr load will work for 86 up to 110gr bullets. HTH

It works for me, although Daniel Craig with no English accent was a bit weird!

I picked up 5 boxes of that stuff about a year ago to test in my 03-A3, still haven't done it. One of these days!!!

I hear ya, Hobie. Looks like I'm just going to have to find somebody in my area that knows these firearms to get some kind of value on it. Thanks for your help.

Thanks, Hobie.
Let me put it this way then, what are 1854 Springfield rifles in 50-70% going for?

1894cfan

Sorry guys, no pics. Can you give some kind of SWAG (scientific wild a** guess) as to what it might be worth? TIA

1894cfan

I've got an 1854 Springfield rifle in maybe 50-70% condition with some rust around the reciever(?), the stock has some dings but is in fairly good shape and the barrel hasn't been cleaned in years. Anybody here have any idea what it might be worth? TIA

Foolproof? On a nice rifle like that? Thats like putting Sears tires on a '58 'vette. D & T the tang and install a quality original Lyman tang sight on it.-----------------Sixgun The '47 tang is already D&Td from the factory. Never mind the Lyman tang sight, go for a Marble's tang sight!!!!...

Ahh, one I am completely qualified to answer. I carried an AR-7 for years. Mine was one of the good ones, with respect to both feeding and accuracy. Some weren't so. Still, I eventually decided something with a bit more punch would be nice. So I started trying to figure it out. Well, there in my sa...

Yup, I can just see a Marlin 39a cut down to that length.

I decided on the Williams and locked the rifle up (previous post on 336 lockup) before I could get any rounds downrange.

How about a new/original tooling of the Browning/Winchester 1894? I've got a '41 94 that feels like it is as tight as the day it was made, and a '77 94 that is so sloppy that it feels like a hot knife through butter. I'm not complaining about the '77 94, I mean it still locks up tight and would be w...

31rdgross, Welcome to the forum. I'd say; yes you need them both. The 1895 45-70 is a heavy rifle caliber suitable for anything that walks on this continent. But a bit heavy for lighter use. The 1894 in .357 mag is excellent for lighter things up to deer and is a lot easier and less expensive to fe...

I FINALLY got it back together by sanding the receiver end of the forearm with a T sander that I use to sand my R/C planes with. That shortened the forearm enough to get the forearm band screw back in. I think I partially stripped it though, but I'm not going to worry about it 'cause I'm not going t...

Gary, thanks for that. It had not occured to me to try that.

1894cfan

Thanks for the latest tips, guys. The threads are near perfect, matter of fact, I think when I pulled that screw out was the first time since it was installed WAY back in 1941! BTW, that's the year date that was stamped on the underside of the barrel. The reason I pulled it in the first place was I ...

1894cfan

In mine I think the wood had expanded. I think that's what happened to mine. There was a inside burr on the screw head side of the forearm band on mine that left a scratch on the left side, so knew which side to put it back on. I've tried enlarging the screw hole, but it ain't working yet. Anybody ...

1894cfan

Thanks, claybob86. I've been sliding everything together without screws when pushing the barrel band screw through the barrel band. It just doesn't want to line up enough to screw it in.

1894cfan

I made a BIG mistake in taking the forearm off a 1941 Win 94.

Is there someone here who can tell me how to get the rear barrel band screw back in??? PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE

I'd suggest getting a Speer reloading manual, It has reduced powder loads for all kinds of cartridges. HTH

HAPPY DAZE :mrgreen: :mrgreen: After soaking the rear sight blade for several days with kroil I discovered how to move the rear sight insert blade.

1894cfan

Thanks guys. The screw is not the problem, it comes out rather easy. The problem is the sliding plate. Hopefully, over time with soaking, it will loosen up. If it does, it will take care of the problem of having the rear sight on the very top ramp notch for hundred yard shots. Just had a thought, do...

1894cfan

Sorry for bringing this up again, but got a ? about the barrel mounted rear sight. There is a single screw mounted on the right side of the rear sight that looks like it locks down a moving sight plate. Is that plate supposed to move when the screw is loose? Right now Iv'e got it soaking with some k...

With 110+ years of experimenting, just about anything made for the 30WCF HAS to work!!!!

But what do I know, I just been playing around with the 30/30 for about 2 1/2 years.

Evidently you've never even held one or you'd know that they are amount the lightest weight yet softest recoiling pistols made today. A Glock 21 45acp might be bulkier than a 1911 but it weighs 3/4 lb less than a std government model. For example, a Glock 21 weighs 26¼ oz empty while a Springfield ...

Hope you don't mind me jumping in and putting my 2 cents in. For reduced power loads, I'd suggest SR4759 for bullets 150gr and over. HTH

Not to steal 1894s thread but Joe, what elevator R U looking for. One like in the Pic or a dual stamped ladder.I have an almost complete Marbles rear sight for a Win. For what it's worth there is an old Gun Shop that I visit frequently. He has a display case with a lot of new old stock stuff. I bou...

1894cfan

Thanks, Joe. I guess I'll try a new front sight blade somewhere between .312 and .365, probably .343, and the Williams front sight pusher.

1894cfan

Yeah, about the only other suggestion I have is to drop the cash (about $60.00) on one of the Williams front sight pusher tools as sold by Midway, Brownells and others. I've bought more rifles with buggered up ramp front sights than I can count. The tool will prevent that. Griff could well be right...

The 1941 94 has one screw on the back side (toward the shooter) on the right side of the blade. I tried taking the screw out and moving what looks like a sheet metal blade, but it wouldn't move and I was afraid of pounding it off and damaging it. Your rear sight is most likely original. What kind o...
