IWB for me is fubar for me. Need pants a size too large and I need a tuakable for my job. I've gone to an ankle holster... not the best for sure, but at least I have it with me.

I'm Sorry for getting off track in the post Earl, Yes We have to wonder what the crowd was thinking. We attend a large Church in a rural Farm country setting. last year while Church was in attendance some lowlife scum were out breaking into the cars in the parking lot. I can't help but think what w...

If you can find some, 12 shot is the key to dense patterns. I use it in my 44 Mag and 45 Colt in the Speer shot capsules with some Unique and they don't require a second shot!

I had one in 222 Rem. Great rifles! As accurate as anything out there and likely one of the most accurate 30-30's ever made. Folks who shoot cast bullets love 788's in 30-30 Win. Only thing (for me) about the 788 is that it's a bit heavy and "chunky" for my style of deer hunting. The carbi...

Michaux

Another good idea. So how hard is the metal in an expander ball? Paper or stone?

Michaux

Michaux

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm using Winchester brass, Lee 30/30 Factory Crimp die, and centering the crimp on the cannelure. I'll mic the expander ball and then go from there. May try sizing some without the expander ball in place while I'm at it. With any luck I'll get it figured out.

Michaux

Maybe I''ll try that Shasta as the bullets are measuring at .308". At least it's something to check out. Wonder what the ID of the neck will be though and the increase in pressure?

Need some help please. I'm loading for a pre'64 94 in 30/30 Win. I'm using a Sierra 150 FN w/cannelure (which looks and feels like nothing more then shallow scraps). I'm using an RCBS sizing die and a Lee factory crimp die. My problem is that when I load the rounds into the magazine tube (without fi...

Michaux

No offence to the OP, but why do folks look at the maximum charges first? Second post on looking at a max. load I've read today. Same type post; "I've noticed quite a variation in maximum loads for...". Most don't bother with "most accurate" or "best shooting" loads, j...

Standing..last man on the right with the fancy pants, arms folded and sport coat. Look at the eyes.

Michaux

Thanks Tycer: I've loaded just about everything over the years, just not 30-30...why I don't know.

I've just never seen max's vary so much.

I'm loading for a Win. '94 (circa 1963) 30-30 and using IMR 3031 with a 150 gr. Sierra FN. I've been loading for 40 years but I'm confused by the wide disparity of max's and the 30-30 with this powder. What are some max loads you guys are using in your '94's with this combination of powder and 150 g...

Michaux

Well, after weeks of lying on my bench in pieces I finally got her back together. Polished the carrier a bit, nothing big. But I noticed the spring (tail) of the loading gate was bent to one side causing the inner "rib" to tilt downward some. Straightened the spring out and after some tria...

Michaux

Thanks Griff and folks. I finally got the nerve to strip her down and realized that there was a slight twist in the spring section of the loading gate. I think that when it was in place that twist caused the loading gate to angle down some; not certain but maybe a cause. I straightened it out and am...

Michaux

PM coming to you Griff...and thanks!

Easier said then done...this is my one and only. I'm hopeing I can get this one running. Did 'pre 64 carriers change any over the years?

Michaux

Michaux

Thanks for the pics... they all look kinda rough to me in that area... Suggestions?

Michaux - And thank you all for putting up with me; I just want to get her going right.

Here's what I'm working with: Carrier - Does this look right? http://i787.photobucket.com/albums/yy152/michauxx/Win94GateandCarrier006_zpsed98d71f.jpg http://i787.photobucket.com/albums/yy152/michauxx/Win94GateandCarrier008_zps9d43353b.jpg http://i787.photobucket.com/albums/yy152/michauxx/Win94Gatea...

Michaux

Thanks for the advice Malamute. I got the gate out. Stoning some edges. I can't see anything that really stands out. I think I'm also going to blast the innards with break cleaner and lightly relube while the gate and buttstock is off. Maybe some gunk is hiding in there gumming things up with the ca...

Michaux

Carrier seems to be going down all the way. (Can't push it down any further)

Gonna try and pull only the loading gate out to check for a burr...seems to be hanging up there...maybe. Lord help me get it back in!

Michaux

Michaux

Figured it'd be "tricky".

Thanks.

Michaux

Michaux

Tycer: I just tested it with two rounds: First round jammed, second round fed.

Another question - If there's a burr on the loading gate can I take out the loading gate without disassembly? I'm thinking no.

Sorry for so many questions.

Michaux

Michaux

I've loaded three rounds before and had the issue but to be honest with you I'm not positive which round hung up as a quick lever and the round was lifted up and went into the chamber. I do however think it was the first round (or last round loaded.) And thanks for the disassembly instructions...I'l...

Michaux

On second thought can you guys direct me to a good article on '94 take down. I've taken down a '92 Rossi not long ago so I think I can do it. (Was a bear to get back together though

.) I think I need to get a good look inside. Thanks again.

Michaux

Michaux

The bullet is a Speer 150 gr. FN or Sierra 150 gr. FN.
I'll do a double take on the carrier and gate. Thanks much folks.

Hey folks. I've got an "issue" with the pre '64 '94 in 30-30 (It's a '63 production gun) I recently picked up. Here goes: When I load a round through the loading gate and then cycle the action to carry the round up to be inserted in the chamber the rear of the round is canted towards the l...

My first self-bought rifle was a Remington 581 back in '71-72 and it's still in service. My son's first rifle was a 581, an honest 1/4-1/2" 5 shot rifle at 50 yds. with lowly Win. T-22's and a cheap 3x9 scope. Bought my nephew a 581, crazy accurate with Win. Power Points. My brother and his two...

Malamute: the receiver sight will surely stay, my eyes ain't what they used to be and I'd probably put one on if it didn't have one. But knowing me, even though it's not very "collectable" and they may be after the fact d&t, I'll try to drum up a set of screws and a proper rear sight a...

Naw...that's actually private ground up there. Nice big $ houses! We're down low on state land off Michaux close to Rt. 233 where the commoners have "shanty" cabins to enjoy.

I'm looking at purchasing a shooter grade 1963 pre '64 Win. 94 thinking that it is a "real" pre '64. Serial No. 25692xx. However I've read that the changes made to the pre'64 94 actually began in 1963. (Simply on the drawing board or in the rifles I do not know) If this is true what is the...
