I also make my own arrows (if that counts) for a Hoyt compound and Martin Rebel recurve

Heck, not only do I make my own arrows, I make my own long bows.

All the books they have are old enough to be in the "Public Domain", the copyrights have expired. There are several good ones by Andy Adams there. Log of a Cowboy is one of my favorites.

I hope whoever got it figures out what it is! (Hoping their name is't the Australian version of "Bubba").

I hope this is the start of something better for her.

I'll have to look at Puzzle Two and see if it does that with the hammer all the way down when dropping the lever. I haven't noticed this before because I always leave the hammer at half cock as this makes the initial movement to cycle the action easier and smoother. (I haven't looked at it in the mi...

20cows

Oh, welcome to the place!

20cows

That sounds like quite a bit of slack, but if you have to push it to make it go that far out (it doesn't go that far out of line just with normal cycling), I think you're ok.

There is actually a limit of two javalinas per year in Texas, but no closed season.

20cows

Something doesn't look right. What hammer did you end up using? I have switched to pre-64 tangs, post-64 flat mainspring tangs and coil mainsprings, but I've never had one expose the inards behind the hammer like that. Did you use the rebounding hammer with a half-cock action? (That's what it looks ...

I didn't catch sixgun's reason, but here's what happened with mine-

My wife said I needed one in case of an emergency out at the ranch. I reluctantly complied and broke my leg out in the pasture two weeks later!

I don't know whether it was cause or effect.

20cows

Are talking age by when the parts were made or when they were put together?

Mine do have a slight difference in those ages. Some parts are pre 1902, but one was assembled last month. The one with a 1906 receiver hadn't been born (well, reborn) yet.

20cows

also the gun is a 22 inch h&r.

I fondled one of those just yesterday!

20cows

Wow!!

20cows

I don't know much about the Leverlution bullets, but there are bullets available in that calliber that can penetrate a deer.

20cows

You, Sir, are a class act!

20cows

That looks very similar to the one I picked up for my father-in-law several years ago. Good gun!

20cows

748 has been one of the most consistent powders I have ever used in the .30-30!

20cows

Prayers up.

I took it for a spin today with some others. Though the temp was great there was a bit of wind and it may have spread the group a little. I decided to try it with the most precise sights I could for this outing and used a Williams FP with a small aperture. http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c258/20co...

Peace of Jesus Christ be with you and yours!

My friend chose the .45-60 because, if necessary, he could form his own brass from .45-70 brass.

20cows

Nice work, looks like it started life as an antique model. I think that is what it was, though I am not familiar with that particular variety. Unlike the Lone Star Commemorative receiver on P1, this one has a normal run serial number showing it was also made in 1970. What parts required fitting on ...

20cows

All the other Winchester puzzle projects fell together with relatively little fitting, if I had a good part to start with. Not so with P4. I had to do more work to get this one together than I cold have imagined. I'm glad I had all the previous experience before starting this one or I might have bee...

20cows

Outstanding!!

There is nothing like having one fixed up just the way that suits you.

Joe, I just looked at the Numrich website and that barrel is availible. When I got one nearly twenty years ago it was in .30-30. I had to have it rebored to .38-55 myself. Now they come in .38-55 to start with. :D Category: Winchester Model: 94 POST 64 Item #882400 - Barrel, .38-55, Long Range Cowbo...

But anyway, what I want to know is this. In the third picture by the rock just above the point of the 76's but plate is a tool or something. What is it?

Congrats on time well spent! (On vacation, I mean).

Thank you, rjohns94, I have been blessed by being able to live the dream.

There is sometimes a price, though. My horse kicked me in the leg this morning. Yeah, it left a mark. (There should be a black eye smilie here!)

I friend of mine has been pining for a Winchester model 76 repro for the last little while. He's wished for one for years, but long ago decided he'd wait for Uberti to make one. His wish was for a .45-60 short rifle. Let's just say that he is very particular. He was at my place last evening for a Ne...

There are some good folks here.

According to what I've read in a reference book I don't have with me at the moment, there was a carbine produced with a a rifle stock. It was at least informally called an "Eastern Carbine". It did not have a saddle ring, however.

20cows

Also, my eyes tend to water when shooting in the cold in the winter time, forcing me to keep blinking to try and keep the target clear 100 yards away.

Yep!

20cows

Done!

20cows

Done!

The blank I bought (from Williams sight co) had a hex set screw in it.

20cows

If I remember a talk with a friend looong ago, there may be some ambiant temperature issues with 296 (extreme cold vs purty dern hot). I don't remember how it came out.

20cows

That doesn't look too bad (I've had to clean up much worse!

).

If you try a soapy rag on the cartridges first, you might not need as much elbow grease on the steel wool.

I just looked at my downloaded Winchester/Browning parts list and the standard cover for a nonremoveable ramp is a dollar plus shipping.

U245300030 SIGHT FRONT COVER $1.00

20cows

I think so.

The easiest way to get parts from Browning is by phone. The number is the same as the old USRA parts department: 1-800-322-4626.

You can fax an order at 1-800-817-4755. The parts catalogue is downloadable from their website.

20cows

When you say you got the rear sight from Browning, do you mean USRAC? I mean Browning/Winchester. I can't get to the site from this computer (filters at work), but Browning owns the Winchester name and has the parts left over from USRA production. If the part you need was the same one used on the l...

My most used lever is a trapper .38-55. Puzzle One is my truck gun/traveling companion. I got this little doe because P1 was where it's supposed to be, with me.

20cows

I measured it. It is the .360.

20cows

It is a really easy swap and a brand spanking new one is available from Browning.

20cows

I'll try to measure it this evening.
