Thanks Guys. It is in very good shape and there's just enough "History" in the finish and wood that I won't hesitate to take it out and continue to use it.

All the Best,

Well I finally got around to taking some pictures of the Winchester today. The only thing I added since it was released from CA gun jail was a lever wrap from Ricochet Roy (I know... not traditional, but I think it matches the non-traditional sling that came already installed with the carbine pretty...

I miss his "Backtracking" stories.

Durnitt...That March-X 8-80X56mm scope is going to look REALLY silly on my Rossi 92!!!

Jason announced the RSI will be = Blue/Walnut in 6.5x55

He also said their may be more models released throughout the year.

Gotta love 'em even if they have stumpy little levers.

Four of my all time favorites (3 quotes from books and 1 from a favorite song)... “The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the p...

I'm having computer issues, but I just wanted to log in and say "Thank You" for all the replies and information. Have a Safe and Fun New Year. We'll be on the range in Lakeport at 8am tomorrow if anyone wants to join in on the annual New Years Day "Shoot Whatcha Brung" Club Shoot...

Found a reply on another forum by Mr. Hartman that answered the buttplate question. Looks like the buttplate is correct too!!! "Winchester used the standard Carbine style butt plate through the end of the year 1936 (circa serial number 1127000), then switched to the serrated style (formerly use...

I received 3 extra pictures from the seller today before he shipped it out. http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff310/StumpBuster/My1946Win943_zps9345d5d3.jpg http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff310/StumpBuster/My1946Win941_zps7eceae6e.jpg http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff310/StumpBuster/My1946W...

Thanks Guys! I just got off the phone with Brandon from Williams Gunshop and he told me the carbine is in really good shape with just a little grease that needs to be cleaned up before use. I asked him if it was D&T'd for a tang sight and he said it wasn't. He told me he'd try and get me a pictu...

My first ever "Christmas" gun purchase... and I think I did pretty good! Overall, the pics make it look like it's been well cared for. I was convinced enough to bid even with not being able to see it and check it out in person. Anyone see anything I missed that indicates I messed up or the...

Please drop my name in that hat! THANK YOU for the generous offer and opportunity!!!!!

Smile Heck....13 & 15 made me laugh out loud!

Ah...gotcha now. Yes, Steel Targets are EXCELLENT for training, they just have a tendency to be heavy! But, it's hard to not get your money's worth and a lifetime of use from a good one (or 3 or 7 or...)!!! Hope you find what your looking for with the provided link from Steve!!! All the Best, Stump

Stump Buster

Not sure I've heard of these. Do you have a youtube link showing one in use?

Stump Buster

Get Well Steve!!!! You're in our thoughts and prayers!!!

... I think this may be one of the most accurate and enjoyable leverguns I've ever shot!!! :shock: I have a 336 Cowboy in 30-30 that I dearly love, an 1895 Ltd. IV (#911) that is a pleasure to carry, an 1894C converted to PG by Marlin before the buyout and a 35Rem 336 that I rebuilt for my nephews t...

Stump Buster

YES! An American made lever in .454/.475.500 w/ no CB or Tang safety!!! It's pricey, but I think it may just be a winner!!!

Good to see Dave is back up and running and it sounds like he has a good team put together!

Hey Oly, Your post reminded me to take my .35Rem 336 out again with the same Redfield you posted about above. I was having a hard time getting a consistant group out of this proven lever the day after I put this scope on, but thought I'd give it another day when the wind was down and I was at the ra...

(As my old FTO used to say) "Here's the story"....my neighbor is my FFL dealer (read: enabler) and I've been REALLY good lately about downsizing the collection and streamlining my cartridges so I can shoot more and collect less. Well he KNOWS I'm addicted to leverguns and the .45Colt cartr...

Hey Guys, Snuck out to the range this morning with the Winchester and tightened the CARTRIDGE GUIDE SCREWS prior to shooting the little carbine...and WALAH!!!!...No more ejection/feeding issues!!!!!

Let's see, where to begin? Hey Guys, I was at the range this morning shooting a variety of 45Colt loads out of my USFA Rodeo and my WinM94AE (pre-crossbolt) Wrangler.

I dunno, but my Marlins seem to be more accurate than my Winchesters!?!?!?

It was much accurater than the Vaquero. Hey Otto....PLEASE Don't take this the wrong way as I like your way of putting things "more better" than my old favorite sayin'....mind if I use it? :wink: Stump PS - Keep shooting those 357's and the 45's...they're the last two revolver cartridges ...

I have a habit of finding short-guns to go along with all my long-guns. This may not the best (the photo isn't, that's for sure), but I like this particular .45 Colt levergun/sixgun combo... USRA pre-crossbolt safety 94AE & a USFA Rodeo... http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff310/StumpBuster/USR...

Not necessarily my favorite (I like a bunch that have already been mentioned too) but "Silverado" needs to be added to the list.

Basically, I scratched the muzzle area somehow (can't remember now) and decided to rub the finish away to hide the silver colored scratch.

Great Little Rifles....as a matter of fact, I'd say the "Home Commander's" 1894ss Ltd. in .357 is the most "Fun" gun in the safe!!! It was modified a bit by Mic McPherson including a shortened stock, action/trigger job and a dovetailed front sight. The rear sight was replaced wit...
