I should have said that no taller front sights have been needed with my
Williams,Lyman or Marbles sights. The OI/XS and the Skinner sights are taller and you may need a taller front to work with them.

I agree, Taller should not be needed. I have not had to replace any of mine due to not being able to zero with standard ammo.

Done friend.

Welcome!

Oh man! The only reason I shoot black is for that wonderfull smell.
My wife really complains when I scrub my brass in the kitchen sink.

All of the major makers are loading good ammo these days. Competition is fierce and bullets and components are better than ever.
I try several different brands and shoot the one that is most accurate if using factory ammo.

I have never shot BP or BP substitutes in the .30-30 BUT I have read many accounts of people who did and none of them were satisfactory.

Yes my friend they are on the way.

I had one just like it for years untill I loaned it to my dad to make fishing jigs with. He would NOT give it back! Oh well, I had two others , so I told him to enjoy!!! :) It is a bottom pour pot but that rod that is used as a valve will clog easy and may not allways seal well so may drip. It can b...

There only sending 17 of the little buggers after me. They must already know where I live.

I never modify the Dovetail in the barrel itself but centerpunch or peen the sight slot blank if loose.

Edit for spellling!! Duh!

It should have came with an operator manual. I would stick with their recomendations.
Don`t hold your off hand foreward of the cylinder when you shoot it. You could have bad burns and lead under the skin!

Interesting... Anybody have photo? Maybe after the Shot Show.

WOW ! Great hunt.

If you are lookin for one and you like it, Its a good deal! When I found mine... I found my Winchester 94 .32 special when out shopping for a birthday gift for my wife. #1, She was born in 1957. :D #2 That morning I found a 1957 Lincoln head penny on the ground. :D #3 stoped into my local dealers, h...

Mac45 you might want to look here. Thanks ! http://www.levergunscommunity.com/viewtopic.php?t=1609

Very nice! Congrats!

It aint gonna git no better. I just buy up what I can afford when I see it on sale.

Welcome guys!!

BTT

You could put it in a pot of salt water and keep it boiling .....
Untill your new Leupold gets here!!

Ravenman beat me to it. I agree it probably was an 86 LW.

J Miller I dont think the power adjusting ring would freeze from over tightening the rings. :shock: As far as how much torque is enough, Like Horsesoldier said I go by feel and I generaly tighten em a lot more than most folks. If you tighten them until the `snap` and back them off 1/4 turn they are ...

Yes, Those rings are very tough but they do tend to turn the scope a little as the screws are tightened. I leave the scope canted just a little tward the "hook " side and it straightens up when the screws are tightened. I have owned several sets of those mounts. No big deal to loosen and t...

A Marmington rifle? I don`t think a lot will change. Hope not!

All bows need mandated string block safetys on them! This would never have happened.

Cowboy, that is not uncommon and happens often if the gun is not made in US. When I encounter this, I use a center punch to make a dent or 4 on the bottom of the slot blank near the edge of the dovetail. This upsets a little metal and will make it a tight fit. I also use a little red loc-tite when i...

WOW!

They work just great for guys like you and me who cant dial in that rear sight like we used to. Just look through the hole,forget it is there, and put the front sight on target and fire. All of my open sighted rifles wear some sort of peep, either tang or receiver mounted with the exception of my tr...

I agree, The problem is blown WAY out of proportion. I have 5 1984`s and have had not one problem.

The ORH sight is one that people seem to love or hate. I dont hate them but think they are not nearly as usefull as a receiver or tang mounted peep. They hide too much of the field of view IMHO.

HO HO HO

Very nice! Look into the Starline brass and slug that barrel for proper fit of cast bullet and you will have a real winner!

I have a very good friend who has a custom built .338 Ultra something who talks all the time about being able to kill deer and elk at ranges in excess of umteen hunnert yards. He has never shot that rifle at over 300 yd. that I know of. I told him a couple of years ago that he needs to spend a bunch...

More like target/varmint shooting. Notice that they don`t show the wounded ones running away to never be seen again.
A light 5-7 mph wind will drift that bullet 10 ft at those extreme ranges.

Silver melts at 1763.2 deg.F . That is beond bright red in steel .
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver To get the mold to fill out it would have to be near that temp I believe.

Shawn, Yes, that looks like it. Here are a couple more. http://www.wineland-walnut.com/grades.htm http://www.clarowalnutgunstocks.com/index.html http://www.wenig.com/ http://www.rifle-stocks.com/ http://www.rifle-stocks.com/laminated_blanks.htm http://www.treebonecarving.com/id9.html There are many ...

Cast a wax bullet in your mold and use it to make an investment mold out of plaster. Or find a local jewelry shop that does investment casting and have them do it with your wax bullets. I used to do that in the hobby shop in Germany. I made a Silver grass hopper that was microscopic in detail.

Dennis, Nice rifle. Reading down through the posts I was thinking low-wall and then yours appeared. Beat me to it.

I remember $89.00 Win. 94`s at K-Mart in the 60`s .
No NICS either, just carry it to the counter and hand em bux!

You can shoot "pointy" bullets in any levergun chambered in -
.30-30 - .32sp. (soon) - .35 Rem. , 444 Marlin , .450 Marlin , .45-70 ,
.44 Mag. , .357 Mag. , .22 mag. and the .308 Marlin Express right now!
Can you say Hornady???

The .308 MX does have a rim. It looks rimless in photos but the rim is larger in dia. than the body of the case and fits the same shell holder as the .30-30 .

If new,send it back. If used and no warranty, I would lap it. Some folks fire lap but I hand lap if it is needed. A little harder to do but you have much better control of the results. I cast a lap on a rod and use progressively finer laping compounds (available from Midway/Brownells) until constric...

Maybe a .308 MX rimless for the new bolt gun.

Shawn , looks spendy to me. Do a search for gunstock wood on the web. there is lots of it out there. http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c356/chuckleininger/IMG_1031.jpg Afew pieces of walnut awaiting the saw. :wink: PS , There is a guy in Reno who has 30,000 stock blanks ready for sale. You send him ...

Thanks Joe.

Ya` gotta admire a lady who is handy with a shootin` iron!

Merry christmas to you and all!
I got mine a couple months ago and have read it cover to cover twice.

It will be added to my referance material library with the other good books.
