Just to be sure when you say crossbar safety do you mean buttons on the side of the reciever that pushed one way is safe and the other fire? Because if so it was the second to the last generation of 94 but seemingly a fairly late one. My tang safety angle eject ranger 94 serial number is in the 654x...

Nice indeed! If you don't mind my asking what rifle are these for? My magazine recognition skills aren't the best.

Alan Wood

Definitely an excellent video. Well worth watching if you are going to be working on any Winchester lever action in my opinion. The whole anvil series of C&R arsenal is excellent and informative!

Kinda funny that this question would come up now. Ian of the Forgotten Weapons youtube channel posted a video on just what happened to USFA late last week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9bULArrKs4 Short answer according to Ian is they sold the SAA tools and or tooling to build a spectacularly unr...

It looks to be an experimental (magazine) Marlin Model 336 !

An exceptional acquisition, indeed......

Thank you. I was wondering how I had missed Marlin producing a sans loading gate center fire model. Then again Winchesters are more my strong suit.

Alan Wood

Ok for those of us not in the know just what model is this?

Alan Wood

Another nice one there Pitchy!

Neat Radio. One thing you should be aware of about tube radios. Many of the old classic US made tube radios can be or are severe electrocution hazards due to the designers omitted a power transformer to save cost . Not just off brands either my mother probably still has a Hallicrafters s-38 in the a...

Treeman72 As much as I wish that I had bought a 357 94 instead of the 44 magnum 94 I bought the people here have made it clear that the 44 magnum was the right choice! Yes the 44 Maggnum tenderizes my shoulder rather a bit too much but it gets the job done. And the excessive shoulder tenderization i...

I don't know if your problem is caused by rust or some other form of corrosion; but I read in Brownell's Gunsmith Kinks volume 1 years ago that some gunsmiths soak a rusted screw with Coca Cola to help break it free. I guess the phosphoric acid dissolves rust (That ought to make you feel good the n...

I have shot some 8mm mauser Privi Partisan with no issues that I attribute to ammo. The one issue that I have experienced I am pretty sure was the result of my mishandling the firing pin while doing my initial clean up of the rifle. I screwed up and flattened the nose of the firing pin on the garage...

Advice, make sure you hold it steady and have good light!

Depends on which Kodak box camera! Some no problem others... At least if you live in a fairly major metropolitan area.

Many outside of this forum have noted the best camera is the one you have at hand when the photo opportunity arises. When it comes to photography I go to one extreme or the other nothing in between. I have an ultrazoom "consumer grade" camera that is my main camera. I forget if is 32x zoom...

Please post photos of the first 8 inches of the top of the barrel ahead of the reciever. This is usually marked with the caliber. Though given the rust shown in your photos the markings may be unreadable

Many years ago there was a local lawyer that was so ethical that while he had a Porsche he worked nights as a security guard to make ends meet. I kid you not I worked for the same guard company as he did. He didn't seem to be getting rich like his fellow lawyers. And he didn't seem to mind it!

Things there were definitely looking up! Picked up two 20 round boxes of 308 for less than 40 dollars. And they had a pretty good selection of reloading equipment in stock.

As it happens I just drove up to Reno to relax. Cabellas seemed to have pretty much everything in stock you could want.

Interesting that it seems to handle both 38 and 357 without trouble. I thought that the 73's were quite sensitive to ammo length.

My question is will they actually produce the weapon after seeing the response here? Trial balloons are easy working guns not so much!

Not to put too fine a point on it but the shooters weight figures into this as well. At least in offhand! The lighter you are the more you can absorb the recoil by being pushed back as opposed to being bruised. At least in my opinion. Man I have really gotta loose some weight!
