I want a levergun for NY Adk Mtns, recomendations !?!?!
I would like to buy a levergun for hunting the Adirondacks in NY. My shots are usually close range in thick stuff, tops 150 yards across a swamp. I'd like a light, short rifle, I was thinking a larger bore like a 444 or 44 mag, maybe a 45-70. I'd like a Winchester 94, I'd like to hear your opinions ...

Refinishing 336 Marlin stock
Hey Guys, I'm converting my 336W 30/30 from a pistol grip to straight stock without buying parts. It's coming out very nice actually, all I have to do now is the lever & it's done other than refinishing. I'd like to see some pics of guns you've done with different shades of stain, I don't know w...

Re: .44 mag or .45 colt ??
Looks like the 44 mag would be the best or should I instead look at a 30-30 trapper ? I'd rather have a heavier bullet though . I think. Your right, I think I may have to buy em all. Keep it comin guys, Thanks John

.44 mag or .45 colt ??
I am down to 2 calibers. I have found numerous guns in either caliber & just want to hear more opinions on both as far as accuracy to 125 yards, etc. I do not reload as of yet but I may in the future. I am going to go for a 16" barrel, in a winchester 94ae trapper in .44 mag or .45 colt, or...

Re: MORE NEWGUY QUESTIONS !?!? THANKS FOR THE HELP !!!
I know the rules. I am a very safe hunter, but I have heard many stories about the guns going off while loading, etc. etc. because of no safety. That is why I was concerned. From what I am hearing here, there really is no reason for concern about any of that. I have never seen it happen myself or ev...
