Nath, thanks for posting. I enjoy your fox hunting posts.

Welcome! Fine buck and rifle!!!

I like Tom Selleck, Sam Elliot and most of the old Cowboy types.
Lately though, at the top of my list is Robert Duvalle and Kevin Kostner.
Pardon my spelling,to lazy to look em up!

What junkbug said + 1. That ammo is not for that rifle. Be carefull!!

I agree with win40-82. He is worth it!
I have been a life member since 1970 and haven`t had a piece of mail asking for money in over a year. All my other stuff,mag.etc. keeps on comming.

Man, What can I say? WOW!

Very nice sabel. When I cast some ingots out on the sidewalk once a few drops of lead hit the cement and were very hard to get up from the rough surface. But my shop floor is concrete and splatters dont even stick at all, its very smooth. You may want to put some sealer on the concrete to keep it lo...

Congrats, the first is the hardest. You can do very good work by hand (with care). Try drilling for a tang screw on a muzzleloading rifle. The drill has to go through the exact center of the tang,through the stock and come out exactly centered through the trigger plate or the tang bolt wont fit prop...

Looks like they will introduce a new bolt gun along the lines of a Savage.
Sure hope there is more than that.

J Miller,thanks, I guess what I wanted to know most is when did the cross bolt safety and rebounding hammer start? there must be some top ejects that had forged steel recievers and came without cross bolt safety or rebounding hammer. Yes/No? So this would put the first of them at SN.5,024,957 or abo...

It can be done BUT the cost would prolly be more than a new rifle.

Come on out WCF3030 We need more GOOD guys in the west coast.

This must be very SPECIAL to command that much$$$

horsesoldier03 , We do have an opening for a Good chainsaw mechanic with Stihl training.

What deer? I didn`t see no deer!
If you did do it,Thanks. You are a good guy. I hate to see any animal suffer. That is why I dont bow hunt any more. Nothing against bow hunters, just dont like the feeling it gives me when I am/was doing it.It should be quick and clean.

Does anybody know at what S.N. Winchester started to use forged receivers again? I understand it to be about 1981. Did they make them for a while in top eject with half cock hammer systems? I have been mostly playing with Marlins and need to get another Win. to round out my collection a little. I ha...

We should save a lot on welfare checks that don`t need to be sent out!

All the late marlins I have seen have a regular dovetail, Winchesters had the twist in system that Gunsmith talks about. Mr Miller. My .308 MX has the shorter 2/3rd mag tube so it cant flex very much. A cowboy with its full length mag may allow the dovetail to drift more. It is no big deal to fix th...

There is a point of diminishing returns where more length is of no advantage and will actually slow the bullet down. Since the air rifle bullet,like the powder driven bullet, starts from a dead stop,it takes time and barrel length to get to full velocity. any barrel length over the point of full vel...

My boss just handed me a Christmas bonus check for $1,000 ! :shock: Wow!!! I have 6-7 rifles that won`t fit in the safe and the old safe is soooo stuffed I have to unload half of it to get one out without banging them up. I will be shopping for a second safe today. :D Merry Christmas to all! :D :D :D

I agree, one page with everything is best!

Nice post Griff! I printed it and will put in my Leverguns referance binder # 2.
So much good stuff here ,I started a 3 ring binder to keep it all. Almost have #2 full now.

Sweet. I have seen lots of old scopes that have turned purple with age. What make is it?

Only the 6MM BR Norma. and all they need is neck turned and fireformed.

nice pic.

I think it is very nice. I understand your dissapointment but go ahead and do the stock work. she will be wonderous! :wink: I once had a top rated stock maker in Portland OR. stock an 1100 trap gun for me. It took him almost a year. I would drive over to his shop on Sat. and he would get it down and...

Whitedog , From your description I would say about $400 tops. I have seen many around here going ( or asking I should say ) in that price range. A good shooter is not a collector and can be had at a fair price. Offer him $300 and compromise!

If it is loose enough to push it sideways along with the mag tube, I would use the stud and bearing mount Loc-tite and just work it into the space between the parts. My tube of RED loc-tite IS marked Stud and Bearing mount,extra strength. Note my new Marlin .308MX has the dovetail base for the mag t...

Yes, VERY NICE !!!

I have used the RED to set dovetails in tight. It is Stud and bearing mount. I have some out in the shop, can get the number if needed. I sometimes coat dovetails with it when replacing a sight with a slot blank. I have not had to heat them to remove. If it was a threaded bolt/stud or a sleeve that ...

Very nice rifles, Enjoy!!

I do like J Miller said and let it break in on its own. Now if I was using it for CAS that would be another thing. Then I`d work her over good!

NO!! Dont swap bolts or locking bolts, They are fitted to the rifle and a switch could cause dangerous headspace problems. A smith with a headspace gauge can do it safely.

Good luck! When this happened to me it was for the better.

Looks just fine!

Very nice Val.

When I`m at the club with my levers others always come over to see what I`m shooting.and the usual coment is " I dont think I could even see that target with iron sights let alone hit it!" So many people think they need a MAGNUM with a scope as big as a garbage can to be able to shoot well...

Head em off at the pass pard! Aint seen no African buffs in these parts lately.
He does seem a little down on levers .

The flat on the bottom of the barrel ( "hogged out") was done at the factory. The fit of the front band is typical. you could relieve it some by polishing the inside of the band with emery paper wraped around a dowel. Same with the stock band. Be carefull and don`t over do it and end up wi...

It is rather slow mooving compared to the old site. Hope it picks up.

I hope they do remake the 94 in a quality rifle again.

Good question. I have heard it is metal alloy that is in powdered form and pressed into a form (die) and heated to very high temp. Similar to forging but not exactly the same. Many other parts are made that way today. All the gears in lawn equipment are cintered metal and are quite tough. I am sure ...

I am with the NO croud for all the reasons stated. I bought one to please my wife who requested it (prolly heard they were good on Opra) It did not last long enough to burn out. I sent it to the land fill where all that kind of krapp ( forgot who I stole that from) belongs!

I must admit ,I did not slug the barrel of the rifle in the photo and don`t usually in any of my guns. I shoot bullets about .002 over the jacketed bullet size for that caliber and they do just fine. If I can`t get one to shoot as well as I expect then I will take a chamber and muzzle cast with Cero...

The Lyman 311041 GC bullet (cast by several folks) is a very good one.
Loaded over 18gr.IMR 4198 is a very accurete load at 1590fps. Recoil is almost nonexistant. Enjoy!

This target shot at 50yd.

There was/is also a SS .45-70 pistol grip 22" 2/3 mag.(sporter, safety)
Thanks Pete!

Both of my Marbles tang sights use a longer tang bolt in the rear hole and a #10 screw in the front with IIRC 32 tpi threads. You should be covered.

Yes plated shot is almost as soft as the hardest lead shot and won`t damage any gun barrel. Loaded in a shot cup wad it don`t even touch the barrel.
What kind of shotgun do you have?
Plated shot is a little harder so it won`t deform as much on firing and will give better paterns.

Like Rusty said they return the origional parts with the gun. The factory also checks it over for any other problems that may need addressed as in worn parts etc. I would send it to Ruger. They are the experts IMHO.

WELCOME!
