Good morning
Bottom line is.. it was his. Good or bad.. as owner he could and can do as he pleases as long as he dont tread on the rest of us. That is what freedom is all about.

Good morning
Well you could view it as your opportunity to take your rifle and Individualize it to your personal preference.

Good afternoon IF this is for Protection then I would NOT consider the 444 as reliable. It already failed in a hunting situation. My upbringing was " A bigger hole is always better". So that takes us to the other lever gun. 35 caliber bullet from a rifle over 2000fps is going to hurt any c...

missionary5155

Good morning and well done ! That is one fine hunting tale ! And a great old caliber to boot. I have been shooting a 1873 in 32-20 for some time as my prime "crawling about the ditches and thickets" groundhog rifle. The 32-20 with home cast bullets is one of the finest up close dispatchers...

Good morning I have a 1873 in 32-20. Your first step is to Slug the Throat area.... If your Rifle´s throat is FAT (.314+) a standard size mold (.312) is not going to give you good accuracy. My 73 has a .316 throat diameter... Best accuracy comes with a .315 Pure Lead cast bulllet on top of a case fu...

missionary5155

Good morning
And most do NOT have a very oversized throat area. Both mine have a nice .376 throat rather than the Fat throats that are standard on the 38-55´s .. try and find standard molds that drop a .382 bullet for them 38-55 throats.
Fortunatly RanchDog addressed the situation.

Good morning It would be an easy economic fix IF the establishment just adopted the Rusky 7.63x39 cartrige in the AR Upper and our troops return fire back at those other guys what they are receiving. The AR system works.. is far more accurate than any AK.. and the re-supply ammo distribution is real...

Good morning
Upside down T... I make them thicker, taller depebding on range. I used to use a triangle but the inverted T is much more precise.

Good morning
First my condolences to the families...
They should rise up and hold their politicians responsible for the insane disarming of the public in the face of a dangerous world we all inhabit. Parliment members are armed or protected by armed guards if my memeory still serves.

missionary5155

Good morning And just for fun 30 grains of 2F with any wad you desire under a .455+ pure lead RB... Accurate out of my OA´s and would be deadly on any 250 pound critter up close (under 30 yards). I put a dobber of 50-50 beeswax and olive oil (55-45 in hotter weather) on top of the ball. I just smear...

missionary5155

Good morning That is one fine lever gun. Imagine living where there are no Marlins.. Saw one 12 years ago. But I am very happy to haul my old 1892 SRC 44-40 (1907) about the desert. Both companies made GREAT rifles. What is sad are what we are stuck with today. But at least the new ones are salvagab...

missionary5155

Good morning I have used kerosene and those Green scrubb pads for years.. never hurts an origonal finish and leaves the rusty barrel spots with that nice "Patina" all the collectors boast about but call rust when they want to buy it. Let the Kero soak a while and scrub a little.. let the k...

missionary5155

Good morning
And what is the throat diameter of your revolver and lever ...?
That is the MOST important question.. If those bulets do not fill the throat you are gonna learn alot about lead minning.

missionary5155

Good morning Just about any 9 mike mike off the shelf should make it opporate. Good pistols.. but due to the demands of the European armies.. wrong caliber. Sadly our country was throwing money at the the Depresion but ignoring the Desperate Military trying to prepare for the next one. Imagine if th...

Anybody remember the old photo of the calvary trooper sitting on his mount pointing a carbine at a target..
Trying to locate that one ..

Good morning +1 on the 38 special power in a 357 case. The design just will not hold up to Magnum loads. If you sare not familiar with the toggle system remove the sideplate and take a look. Those two curved bearing surfaces are going to recieve the jolt of each fired round. It does not take long fo...

The last rifle IS a Model 1895. On top of the barrel behind the origonal rear sight are it should be marked what caliber... 30 GOV is very common. You will need to work the action and if possible cycle a cartride through it in a safe area. The bore condition, finish, all them particulars will be imp...

Good morning
SCOPES... I would give two prices on the scoped rifles.. with or without But I would not sell the scope seperatly till the rifle is sold.

missionary5155

Greetings
Whenever I want a price I go to Gunbroker and compare what people will PAY to the model I am interested in selling.
The books say all sorts of fine prices BUT I also see Book priced firearms sit on Gunbroker a long time.

And a Welcome from my side of the Big Blue. A lever action and an open sky.. no horns,cells or a Tico trying to run me down !

Good morning About 15 years ago the state of ILL decided to release unanounced mating pairs at some state parks to help control the deer population. Now the pests are actively hunting pets around east central ILL. I had seen tracks for some years. 2009 bow season I saw one cross a cut bean field hea...

Good morning
I would KEEP the 92 in my FAVORITE 92 antigue caliber 38 WCF.
Lets face it.. if you are going woods walking or swamp tromping which rifle are you going to carry ? Do you even shoot the Browning ? What good is a rifle IF you are not gonna shoot it ?

missionary5155

Good morning My first lever was a Marlin 32 Special I bought in 1967 and I carried it for days hunting fox in the Paw Paw river swamps around Riverside Mich. Now I carry alot a 1894 38-55 when in Illinois to pop ground hogs up close in ditches and woodsy spots. The biggest difference to me is the mo...

missionary5155

Good morning IF the ladder sight has absolutely NO play in it.. no windage movement then yes it would be viable. If the s¡ght wobbles just .01 then at 100 yards you just missed the spot you thought you aimed at. Now if you are massed infantry shooting at 50 hostiles it makes little difference. The l...

Good morning
Loooks like it would depend on what the origonal post meant by "Blown Out".
Fireforming I guess could be looked at as the neck being blown out.
I have at times been guilty of using common words for technical applications. Does add a bit of muck to the mix.

Good morning
Once you have the rust taken care of try car wax on the metal parts. You will not be dissapointed.

Bully for Arizona !!! Fantastico !!! Charlie Mike !!!
Maybe the commy liberals will begin to move back to where they came from due to the increase of preceived danger.

Good morning I have been shooting tang sights for 30 + years and have never been hurt by one. I shoot up to caliber .50 cartrige guns so these are heavy recoilers. If your eye is so close to the sight it can touch you then you need to learn to shoot by not be creaping up the stock. If you will hold ...

Good morning Gallery loads were the smallest lightest projectile available... Round Ball was the top choice. A .454 round ball would be my starting place. 4 grains Unique. If you have real tight cylinder mouths you can remove the cylinder and with a fat wood dowel tap the RB through and then of cour...

Good morning And WELCOME about ! Lend Lease-- 200+ Corsair F4U fighters and unknown number of TBF Torpedo planes were pushed overboard from British aircraft carriers after the end of the Pacific War. Remember the Savage built 303´s , I have one... they are marked U. S. Property. But back to the 1892...

Good morning
I searched Replacement Gun Stocks and there are several places out there that have good reputations.

Good morning Marlin quality control is also sloppy. The throats on my Marlins are oversize. If you plan on shooting Castbullets you will have to plan on oversized molds and sizers and do a jugling act trying to get the fattest bullet to chamber without to much lever force. Get the throat sealed off ...

Good morning WOFSBURG and Welcome ! Buying a 1886 is like buying a house used to be. If you have to ask the price you really cannot afford it... so I will be happy to shoot my old 94´s and 92´s... I did buy a couple of those jap 86´s back when they were affordable... About the only 86 that looks nea...

missionary5155

Good morning Forget the cosmetics and shoot it. I would be more concerned about bore quality and function of the action. EYE WASH has no value at all when you need a Good shooter to make meat or Repel Boarders. IF it shoots and cycles them maybe a letter... I can load a whole heep of my cast loads f...

Good morning I was a Tank Crewman 71-74. We had our own STANDARD on our vehicle. If you could not or would not meet our standard there was a long walk back somewhere. Never had to " Drop anyone off" as the undesirables were weeded out right fast. About the time the head lice and other crea...

Good morning Anatomy probably has more to do with it than anything. My right wrist just does not bend like it used to so a pistol grip feels better at a bench. BUT for just one shot every now & then it just does not matter to my body. I LIKE the extra light wieght and feel of my 92 models straig...

Good morning When you are riding a M3A4 Stuart with 4 caliber 30 Brownings and a 37mm cannon it is not a real issue what your side arm is. Sadly though, as good as General Patton was with tactics and understanding of the role of Armor.. he overlooked the value of "Blending In with the surroundi...
