Tycer,
Yes, Lyman tang sights are very nice, especially when they are on Model 25 Remingtons.

Sixgun

The bolt action, semi auto's, and the single shot are superior designs, mostly due to their more solid receivers, front lockup , faster lock time and the way their barrels are free floated. We don't see snipers or long range target shooters using leverguns. Leveractions that have front lock up, such...

Even a bore mop with some of that red colored polishing compound that hardware stores sell would work. This is what I use for 95% of my polishing. You don't have to go crazy with it, just enough for a bit of a shine. Your chamber is for low pressure cartridges anyway.-------------6

I've often believed that the world will have a third of its population wiped out in my lifetime and maybe this is it. Did 'ya read what kind of a tick it comes from.........A LONE STAR tick. That means it must have come from those rebels down in Texas land. I bet Griff got bit while on one of his ex...

ooooo, ooooooo (raising my hand) I know what the mystery item is.............well, almost.......its either a fancy paperweight or an Egyptian plumb bob.---------6

Once again, just got home from making the donuts and you have amazed me once more with your secret acquisitions. Never knew you were a Keith fan. He is the reason I got into the Colt Sa's and pre-war Smiths. The Winchesters just got in the way and came home with me. Tell me about the damascus knife....

Sixgun

Oly, I agree with 86er' The gunshop owner probably bought it off some old lady and failed to check it out properly. I know that would happen here as about 85% of my loaded ammo is marked 30-30, .308, 30-06, or 45-70 when about 30 different cartridges are made from them. The machinery would not have ...

Sixgun

OS, just got home from "making the donuts". You have been holding out on me....where did that 93/410 come from? Can I have it? I've only seen a handful of them. Maybe even more than that, the KEITH book.. Is that a first printing? I'm coming over right now to get my Marlin and my new book....

Sixgun

Sonny P, Your full of you know what. One post and you make this exclamation. BSer if I ever saw one. My thousand dollars against your $50 (if you have that much) says you can't take a picture of the barrel address and caliber roll mark and post it here in 15 minutes. $20K against your 100 if you ha...

Sixgun

OS, Did you see the last post I made? .....I'm still very excited. Looking for soldering paste and I find a BARLOW KNIFE!! Weird, ain't it?? Talk about timing!!!! That Barlow must have been in that drawer since I had the house built in 1975 and I was transferring my boyhood junk from my Dad's house ...

Sixgun

OS....OS......OS........YOUR GOING TO POOP WHEN YOU SEE THIS.......I'M SO EXCITED......... ooooooohhhh, gotta catch my breath!!........Right after posting that last pic, I needed to solder something and I looked high and low for my soldering paste...............just for the heck of it, I dug through...

Sixgun

OS, Are you always "online"? That was a fast response to my weird picture of old and new. I knew you would like that! :D (took me 10 minutes to get them to balance. :D For real, only joshing about the Barlows. They were very common here and were a real "meat and potatos" knife. E...

Sixgun

OK OS, forget the other stuff....on to Barlows.....I remember them well when I was a kid. Store counters usually had a display of them for like .99 cents...........junk. :D Well, they were OK if you wanted to open a beer bottle or stab a frog. Me? I'm a man of quality and I got this knife from the G...

Sixgun

Oh man! I'd sooner camp out in grizz & lion country.......at least I could see or hear them coming.---------------6

Sixgun

I'm disappointed OS, I was expecting some T&A pics, or at the very least, a few indentations.

Is that a real gun? I'm skeered.--------------6

Thanks Ji and 3 leg........The geckos look harmless but wolf spiders??????????? as semi-pets??????????? I get those things down in my basement and they get the 2+2 carb cleaner treatment.

First of all, nobody packs me. (you used a capital "S")

It why I use heavy hard cast loads for defense. If I smell trouble, I ask several of the perps to stand behind one another so I can shoot "2 perps with the same bullet".--------------------6

Sixgun

Good info here. The one item I would change is that I would not sell anything to a communist state like NJ, MD, NY, Kal, Conn., or Mass. They have their own weird laws and while it may be the buyer's responsibility, I ain't taking no chances as I have a lot to lose. Remember, communist states need t...

Sixgun

Ji,
Do those geckos bother people, like get in your car, house, pests or are they kinda like snakes, you leave them alone and they leave you alone. ----------6

Sixgun

THATS the way to do it Ted! Good move. :D I did almost the exact same thing back in '75 except I could not afford a real good safe until around 1990.........but then again, "safes" were not much talked about until the eighties. ("fear" sells) :D When a safe is in the basement, it...

This is an interesting thread. I learn something new everyday. I can honestly say that in 38 years of living in our house, I have never seen a mouse inside. We have fields and woods all around us. We have a barn with horse feed. We used to have chickens with chicken feed thrown on the ground and in ...

Sixgun

That's some quality work, I'm impressed.

Do you do your own nickel plating? The 2 tone look always captured my eye ever since Don Johnson used that 2 tone Bren ten in Miami Vice.----------6

Sixgun

Jack, Its things like that that keep us going.........always looking forward to the next exciting accomplishment. A couple of months ago I was on cloud 9 when the parts came in for my 1862 Colt. I went down to the gunroom, got out my files and screwdrivers and other fitting tools. Came back up 4 or ...

Sixgun

Well 6 Point...that explains it all. Your in before the heat really hit. :D I had to finish up working on "Ole Yeller" today. Dang near had a heatstroke. I'm tired of turning wrenches. At our gunclub, its about useless to shoot before 9 or maybe even 10. (if the sun is out) The sun comes u...

Sixgun

Are those things really cockroaches or are you just calling them that? Those suckers are huge.

Funny thing, big things don't bother me a bit but little things like that and spiders give me the heebie-jeebies.--------6

Sixgun

6 Point, My hat is off to you and anyone else who can deal with this Eastern heat wave, especially getting hammered by those loads. Did you have any luck with decent groups? For me, as soon as the temps go above 90, it seems like bullets fly all over the place and I don't know if its the heat or my ...

Sixgun

The Remington 25's are the best woods loafing rifle ever made. (as long as your hunting small game or "just loafing"). The size of a Winchester Model 61 but in centerfire calibers. I've got 'em in both calibers and one I have , in 25-20 will outshoot any other 25-20 I have ever had that wa...

Sixgun

Joe Bobby,
Its only a 2" gun when you can do it on command.

For real, I have shot many 1" "fluke groups", with the next group running 3".

Even so, you still have a good one. It will most likely stay in that vicinity.-----------6

Sixgun

Yea Pops, that ole '86 does the job nicely. By looking at the barrel contour, I'd say that rifle was made between 1900 and 1908.

Goodness, that goat has quite a pair of testicles.

Sixgun

Streetstar, I see what you are getting at. Your personality is close to mine.............we both don't care for dealing with the public...or people for that matter. While I don't set up, I know plenty of guys who do and they all tell me its the way to do it. That's all I would have to see is some gu...

Sixgun

Nice, well made videos you made there, Mr. Collection. :D Are you guys from Czechoslovakia? I see you cast bullets too. Tell us about gun ownership there. I noticed in your Austrian Wanzel, you use a shotgun shell with a cast bullet. Very neat... I can see your sweetheart do not like to shoot prone....

Sixgun

Just checking on O.S's wellbeing. You OK O.S.? I see you took quite a jab to your chest in that one pic.

Sixgun

A 34 is very impressive, especially in the smallbore/pistol caliber discipline. Like you said, the chickens are a "gimme" in big bore but not so in the other two. The closest to "gimmes" in smallbore/pistol are the pigs, and even then I manage to miss #10 most always....I get exc...

Sixgun

Kevin is right.

The 1894's made before that were in 38-55 and 32-40 as the steel used in these guns was not perfected for high pressure until some time in 1895.-----------6

Sixgun

I guess that's why the WW2 vets are called the "greatest generation". In reality, people are people no matter when they were born but it sure seems like those guys were a different breed. Many of today's punks were not a pimple on those guy's azz's. My uncle, (my Dad's bro.) was a mortar m...

"Ya know, that's what I call good kids........working for a nickel.......seems like the 1960's. Kids up this way would want to unionize, demand benefits, and want $10 a rabbit.----------6

'Ya know, we really have it good. Imagine the thoughts running through those young kids minds, never knowing if they were going to make it back and knowing that it was a good chance they would not. And we concern ourselves with stupid stuff like, "I can't find any primers for sale".-------...

Nice toys.

I'll take that brass framed OM Ruger!

Sixgun

That was quite a video. Its hard to believe junk like that escaped from the factory. I personally have looked at a half dozen Rem-Marlins that came through my bud's business and I was astounded by the lack of quality control.....there is none. It was easy to stick a nickel between the wood and the r...

Griff got it right. Words of experience

Test that baby out and report back...................NOW!--------6

Sixgun

Nath,
Give your little four footed friend a big hug from the boys at leverguns. Nice pic!-=----------------6

Sixgun

That's a nice knife!

Wadda think, from the 1950's? Worth every bit of $90. What's $90 today...a tank and a half of gas?

I see you had to push all of the rest of your tools forward so you had a place to take a pic of the knife.

Sixgun

Marve, Looks pretty good shooting to me. The load you use (22 gr. 5744) is the same load I use in the .348 with about the same weight bullet. I'm running 1600 with that and as the 33 is only slightly smaller, you are near the same, maybe 50-100 faster. I don't know what your sizing your bullets at b...

Sixgun

CAS, Relax. You just need to become familiar with this style of sighting arrangement. Sometimes you have to mix and match to get the right combination. Variances include your age, light, length of barrel, style of front sight, color of front sight, aperture size, distance of aperture from your eye, ...

Sixgun

CAS, What you have on the sight stem is a hunting aperture. Like you said, its like a ghost ring. Made for snap shooting on the bounding buck at 50 yards. That piece is removable and my guess is that the hole in the middle is about .100 in diameter. For finer work, get a couple of different eye piec...

Sixgun

On thinking more on this I can add that if all your going to do is short range......say 100--200 meters, any decent brand name spotter in the $2-300 range will work. No need for these 48 or 60 X jobs as when its turned up that high, the image just gets blurry. You will only get sharpness at high pow...

Sixgun

Anything that works in the 38-55 will work in the .375. Just size the cast to .377. My load was 22 of 5744 for around 1500. IIRC, 27 gr. of RL-7 is good for 1700+

Like the 38-55, I use blown out 30-30 brass. Just seat the bullets to correct OAL>-------------6
