Re: Anybody have any ideas on this?
Finally one I can answer. It still has the front sight for the black powder cartridges available at the time.
You need a higher front. Had to do that on my '92 built in 1894.
There are charts on the net to help with calculating the change in height.

Re: Two Cylinder John Deere Tractors of the Levergunners

The tractor had wheel brakes somewhere between poor and non-existent. Lost it down a hill one day with an empty hay trailer. Only the clutch b...

Definitely take it apart and clean the internals. My 25-20 is the same year and I found dried oil, carbon from BP loads and a broken piece of the plastic tip of a cleaning rod inside. The other concern is the barrel. If it's the original BP barrel you have a very valuable gun. It also may not take s...

Then I sharpen the blade and cover it for safety. I've only had to use it once but it turned that snake into bite size pieces real quick.
