I know it's a tough deal. You have come into some cash so it's time to tell the safe guns to move over :D My interests in guns gets larger and larger! I have it narrowed down to a Winchester 1886,Freedom Arms 1997 44 special, S&W 625 Performance Center [tired of chasing brass] Rohrbaugh 9mm , wa...

Thanks MikeD

Is it a straight swap or is grinding and cutting involved

Tang safety handled with a Marbles Tang sight? I think I'm out of questions...... for now!

Looking for what Browning parts are needed to rid the Winchester[ Jap made] 1886 of the rebounding hammer. I just received the Winchester catalog in the mail and see they will offer the 1886 short rifle!

Lets face it, if you ever had the chance to use or watch a progressive press, I only know Dillon , you would be hooked :D That said, I only use it for high volume pistol rounds 300-500 rds at a time. I have complete tool heads for the calibres I shoot. For my rifle needs I use my RCBS Rockchucker . ...

Surefire 6P . It's my first experience with a LED light. Amazing how that small a light ,lights up a room! I have it mounted on my AR in a Larue mount, when it's not on my belt.

Great question Hobie. Tag for the info

foxtrapper

Just got Cabelas shooting catalog ,since it's their 50th ann. they are offering ann. rifles. The Win. 94 in 38/55 octagon barrel, button mag is drool worthy!

foxtrapper

Nice rifle Joe, you said the forearm folds down into a vertical fore grip? Wow! I like the Federal 22mag ammo as they use a real Speer bullet instead of the usual 22lr pill. I use them from a Marlin bolt rifle that is scary accurate. On a side note are you following the BS from your old neighborhood...

Beaker you hang in there! Prayers up,Brother!

Nice going Joe! Hope your giving yourself a chance to heal. Chronic pain is easy to tuff out at first when your young ,then the years pile up and it's no fun

Question, The Ricky you hunt with is that the same Ricky you brought to Maine on the bear hunt? If not how's taxidermy Ricky doing?

$1600.00?

When they were shootin the "vote the two shooters in the elimination round" at the bullseye targets, were they using real rounds? The targets were in front of 2x4's that looked unharmed after getting hit. The holes were round but you could not see through! Figure if they were frag rounds t...

I'am sure Brandon has your back! Heal quickly Joe!

Here in NY the State troopers will hang with the game wardens at check stations. Where the trooper can not search your car without a warrant, the GW can . So now anything illegal that was out of sight and the GW uncovers, it is now in plain sight for the trooper to act on.

If I remember Steve's post the work was north of 1K

Good for you! There is one Tandy store in my state and it is a 10 hour drive from me

The kids got me the Tandy Deluxe starter set for Christmas ,got it online, and the holster making Al Strohman book. Would be nice to roam around the store for leather and tools.

Very nice Mike

When you find a match to that Colt, let me know if you want to rid yourself of that nasty FA97 of yours

foxtrapper

Mike do you feel like moving one of those "extra" 1886's? You can free up some space in the safe and make a couple of bucks to boot! It's time ,after all these Marlin's I own ,to finally hold and fire a Winchester 1886 in 45/70

foxtrapper

This is from Gary Reeder's "Gun Notes" ."Winchester is bringing back the 1886 Short Rifle and the 1892 carbine for 2011. The 1886 will be chambered in 45-70 while the 1892 comes chambered in 45 long colt, 44-40, 44 magnum and 357 magnum".

foxtrapper

Thanks for that post. It gets me every year.

foxtrapper

Was not sure hence the [?]

I fired off a email to Taylors .I am interested in the 26" octagon barrel 1886. They have them on order and get a few month to month. Their asking price for that config is $1615.00. I know the Browning's are "foreign" made but are the Spanish[?] guns worth the money?

foxtrapper

You can not go wrong with the safes that are offered by Costco or Lowes. They may have them on the floor but you can get them delivered from their catalog to your doorstep. They have a 30 or 45 minute fire rating and they are a value at around $600.00. What you should line up before ordering is a co...

Marlin 1894P 16 1/4" ported in 44 mag. So far one wild boar

Best of all it was blooded by my daughter! She offically claimed her inheritance early

foxtrapper

My BIL has a 4 digit Winchester 88 in .308 that he wants to sell. The metal is in good shape along with the wood. Problem is "freckling" in the finish. Just about covers the whole stock. This rifle was bought new by his dad but has lived in a guncase for 20-30 years :shock: One, is a four ...

foxtrapper

While using Unique do you need a filler? There is alot of case left with only 10-11 grains.

foxtrapper

Nice rifle glad you got to keep it! I had Dave do a Basic Marlin upgrade on my 1895 Marlin. He lengthened the throat as it was needed to be able to use my favorite bullet, the cast Performance 460gr WFNGC. The trigger and feeding are fantastic!

foxtrapper

I have all my hunting gas check cast loads good to go. I am now looking for some nice ,all day at the range loads :D I bought a 1k a few years ago of plain base cast bullets from National bullet co. who now are out of business :cry: I bought literally 10's of thousand of their 200 gr swc for the 45a...

Great hunt and story! You did a bang up job on boning that critter. You could not even make soup from those bones

foxtrapper

Thanks to all! Great information! Now let me ask about the Henry Yellowboy as stated here it's not a '66, but it is yellow :lol: Truthfully I think that's what caught my daughters eye. She has a Marlin1894P with a Burris Scout scope setup that she inherited early from....... me. Thats one reason I w...

foxtrapper

My daughter and I were watching one of the outdoor shows where the 1866 was being discussed. Well she fell in love with the rifle. Since I am set up for reloading the 44 mag/special that would be the calibre. Also figure a 20" octagon barrel. Which brand would you recommend? It would be used fo...

foxtrapper

Great topic for the holidays. I went on Lansky's site and viewed the "how to use" video. It convinced me that my brother n' law could use this

Actually ordered two sets from Amazon ,one for him and.................me

Those high shoulder shots take the earth out from under them!

Wild west trigger in all my Marlins. Never weighed them but they break really clean, a great product!

It's a Marlin 1895 in 50AK. I have been shooting the Cast Performance 525 grain cast bullet with great success :D I had a 375 grain.510 mold made for my Blackhawk in .510GNR . It dawned on my me to give it a try with the 50AK. I have loaded up twenty rounds or so starting with the same powder weight...

I have a bull barreled .223 handi-rifle. It is ,when I do my part,it's a one holer at 100yrd rifle :shock: I took the gun apart to smooth over the trigger, I honed all the parts that showed contact .I could not get the trigger group back in the gun! I became one of those guys with a rifle in one han...

foxtrapper

Follow up- what if you run out of adjustment ,having raised the rear sight all the way , will I need a shorter or taller front sight

Thanks

foxtrapper

In general if your switching to a lighter bullet, having the rifle already sighted in with a heavier bullet , which way will the rear sight need to go ,up or down?

foxtrapper

Dennis thanks for the report :D I really want a 1886 26" octagon barrel. I had a 26" Marlin cowboy but cut it down to 18" for ease of use in a treestand . It was my go to Canadian black bear rifle untill I had a 50AK built on a Marlin. I know you said your buddy does not do retail ,st...

foxtrapper

Dpris if they do show up how about a rundown here for fit and finish

Also please post what your guy is asking for them.

Very nice Joe, great pictures. I think we now know where Joe got his famous "smile"

Did the picture I sent to your email get through?

If so where is the best place to buy one from? How's the quality? I see that they don't have the "lawyer parts"
