Interesting combination!

Evidently you have put the little Beastie to paper. What are the result at 50 and 100 yards?

Good story.

Those are some real comfortable looking rifles! Well done!

okdee

YEAH!!!!!!

That is so true!

I was invited to a Houston Gun Collectors Assocation meeting last night and heard some interesting talks. One of them, was a gentleman that attended the Shot Show in Florida, and gave a small report on the highlights that he noted. It may or may not impact availablity of new lever action rifles. Thi...

okdee, I am with you on the gun show preference myself. I don't think any local gun show will get me maximum dollars, but I still enjoy setting up and selling, or visiting during the show. From the buying side of the table I enjoy a gun show too, but nothing I hate worse than to see a gun priced to...

okdee

Pretty nice group of lever actions!

okdee

WOW! I am out-voted! :lol: I will agree, that the internet gives a wider audience and you can possibly sell it easier and you do not have to deal with a face or voice. Plus if going to a gunshow and getting a table is a bit far and not cost effective, it is a great alternate. I do research on the in...

okdee

Hey Lance, I have done it both ways. Personally, I like to have a table at a gun show better. I liked to talk and see who was interested in my selection of guns for sale. Some of them, I noted were just fishin for a cheap, fire-sale. Others were truly interested and hence, we made a deal. Plus, I go...

tn Gun Runner, Your livin my future life! :D Cept, mine will be on our farm in North Central Missouri. You got my fire burning again and now give me some more thoughts as to markin out a shooin line! One change, though, instead of catfish, I hope it will be crappy in the pond! :wink: Thanks for the ...

okdee

It has some nice lines to it. I'd be hard pressed to not buy, either. Interested in a trade of some sort!!!

Cheers,

Oklahoma Dee

Mighty nice looking! After I get a few more 76's and 95's, I think I will grab a few of those 86's!

That's a great looking carbine with the well-done folk art carving and a climbin' Lyman to boot! Caliber? Good luck with it! (I like your floors too. Those wide pine boards look like the second floor rooms in our old house in Massachusetts...) Hey Airdealeman! It's a 30-40 Krag. I shure hope to go ...

okdee

Those are priceless!!!!!!!

okdee

I believe we "gun collectors" are really "gun caretakers". They don't make these good old guns anymore so I think we should take good care of them so the next generation can shoot, hunt, and appreciate them. I think even the "kill notches" on some rifles are terrible. ...

okdee

She is in the 30-40 Krag caliber. Now Cowboykell, :) just remember, way back in the earlier to mid 1900's, whitlin wood was pretty much a standard item to do. :D They may have gotten carried away with this one, but it is a good carving. I have a number of guns from my grandfather, that had his own p...

I have posted here, in the past, questions about the Winchester 1895, and I was real pleased about the outpouring of fellow shooters that shared their thoughts and pictures. :) Well, I finally pulled the trigger on my first,( more to come, that I am sure!!!) Winchester 1895. She was born in 1900 and...

okdee

Prayers to you and her. It is an ugly, ugly, ugly time period. Just remember to keep stepping up.

Best Wishes,

Hmmmm, I am on the website, this Thursday morning, and It pops up!
I went to the gun Library and typed in Winchester 1895 Carbine. It is located in the Utah store.
I would call if I was you!

Cheers,
Oklahoma Dee

okdee

if i ever find a repro 1895 src, i'm going to cut the barrel back to 18". handiness will more than make up for the slight velocity loss in the 30-06. don't plan on any 400 yard shots, anyway. i don't want to pay more than $700, so it may be awhile. Hey TMAN! Check the cableas.com website. I se...

okdee

Prayers to him and those that are with him.

okdee

Well, I have got to speak up! :lol: No one as mentioned the almight 32 Long Colt! One of the most excellent rounds out of a 92 Marlin lever action you will find. It needs to be revived!!!! Obsolete they call it. Hogwash! :D Hey, do you have any you want to get rid of??? :mrgreen: Oklahoma Dee

okdee

Hey ho! I saw a good number of friends. Sold a few and talked some good talk! Really good folks, taking their time!
I really enjoyed myself. Sunday is the last day, hope to make some more friends and maybe make a final trade on a Colt SAA or (as always) a Winchester!

okdee

Just got back from the Friday setup. I am more than happy! :D Everyone is nice and lots of good talk! I even sold 3 guns so far. Nothing major, but, so far the table is paid for! :wink: I actually held an excellent Winchester 1876 NWMP Carbine in the 45-75 caliber ! :) I also saw a good Winchester 1...

okdee

Thanks for the advice!

We are looking forward to the show. Anyone coming to the show at Reliant, come on by and chat with me or my wife! I should have my cowboy hat on!

okdee

Prayers up for you! I remember my Dad, in his last couple of years living, talking about the little black bugs that were crawling over everything that he looked at. :? He never went to a doctor and lived with it to the end. He just accepted it. I am glad you are pro-active/positive about getting hel...

okdee

Well, I am pretty pumped about this coming weekend. My Daddy left a number of firearms to the family and I have sorted through them and have selected a number to be sold and the money given back to Mom. Mom and I can remember how fond Dad was of going to the gun shows and talking an swapping and buy...

okdee

Heck of a find! :) I gave an old 76 Winchester some new life, also. It is pretty fun and a good learning experience. I got a number of my replacement parts from ebay and then an outfit in texas, Chas Jones. He does a pretty fair job of recreating the quality of parts. chasjonesgunparts.com He does n...

okdee

Boy, I hope, I hope,,,,,

I hope to find and acquire a Winchester Model 1895 SRC, in 30-40 Krag or the .405 caliber.

Also, I would not push away a Winchester 1876 in a 45-75 caliber.

okdee

Hello, I would say my favorite is the Colt on top, No, wait,,,,the Colt on the bottom....Hmmm, no,.. the Colt on the top!.. Yes, that is the one,... the Colt on the bottom!

okdee

Hey JB!

Sweet pictures! The 303 British is a pretty robust round, is it not? Good luck finding it. I think I will start out with the 30-40 and 30-06, depending on which one presents itself at the right moment!

Merry Christmas
OKD

okdee

Oh Boy! :D You all have me kinda slobberin on myself! Both the new and the old look pretty awesome! I am intriqued by the 30-40 caliber, but I have a number of bolt action rifles in 30-06. Oh, dang! What to do? Has anyone reloaded for both the 30-40 Krag and the 30-06? In the perfect world, I just m...

okdee

As far as original Winchester calibers there were also: 30-03, 38-72, 7.62x54 Russian and .35 WCF. A model 95 SRC in 30-06, was the first levergun I'd ever bought and have knocked off quite a few whitetail and other critters with it. I also have a 35WCF rifle and a 7.62 Russian musket at this time....

okdee

Hello, I read this forum most everyday and do not post much, but I would like some feedback as the Winchester Model 1895 lever-action rifles and carbines. I am kinda looking to bring one into the family. :D Does anyone own one (or more) and what caliber(s)? Are there pros and cons to the .405, 30-06...

okdee

Sounds like my future.... I hope. We take our boy, 12 years old, with us, when we go and shoot monthys. Sometimes he shoots, sometimes he doesnt. Lately he and a buddy (age 10) have become a bit more interested in shooting and hitting the targets! Well, this past weekend at the Old Fort Parker Chari...

okdee

Thanks Kirk! I am pleased and really pumped up about this old 76. I like to think I gave her new life! :D Plus the benefit of learning. On the day I shot that paper target, I had my mentor help with a spottin scope. Plus he gave a couple of tips that he had learned from others. I am using a thin cro...

okdee

Hey Kirk, I loaded up a few 45-60 rounds with 24 and 26 grains of 5744. Had some nice hits on some Metal targets out to 200 yards. I then put on it paper at 100 yards ( give or take about 6-8 inches), the bullets that had 24 grains of 5744, with a 320 grain RNFP lead bullet. Remington Large Primers....

okdee

I believe that you are correct, they do not make them anymore. I shot with one for about 6 months. I do not remember the original cost of the new rifle, but I sold it for about $550-600.
Not a bad rifle.

okdee

I am a fan of 5" Colts, Remingtons, and Springfields.

I am a fan of Taurus and Springfields Compacts.

Nice for CC.

I also like my Bond Derringer!

okdee

Awww Heck, Marlinman, You always have something mighty nice to show. I will show my reconditioned girl. 1876, 45-60 caliber, with the chopped off barrel, down to 23.5 inches. She was pretty well wore out, but I reworked her and though she is still kinda murky looking, I really love er. :D http://i19...

okdee

I found an old Winchester 1876, 45-60 caliber, that has a 23.5" barrel. It was in a bit of a slump as far as being shootable. I paid for it and I had the barrel relined and some new parts installed and she is revamped and ready to shoot. I like the length of barrel, easy to carry an easy on the...

okdee

Hey now!

Show us a picture of your Marlin 92. I have one. I take it yours can shoot centerfire and rimfire?

From a collectors viewpoint, the 38 Special is more desirable. For the 1st Generation, the 38 Special is very hard to come by. I seem to recall maybe 56 total?! :!: I do not have my books with me. :?: For the 2nd Generation Colt SAA 38 Special was one of the first calibers to be restarted. That and ...

What part of Houston are you in? I live in NW Houston, and we were out of electric for 5 days only.

Seems pretty small compared to you all. Let me know if you all need something.

Hello Gun Smith and Mike D - - I agree with you both. :D Gun Smith - The person I was referring to, does not go after the dollars side of it. He just simply loves to restore Rugers and Colts back to the original package. Should he sell one or two, he makes it very well know that they are restoration...

okdee

I have bought n sold a couple of 1st gens that were retooled into the 38Special caliber. They were shooters and that is all. I would not pay more then $1000. Wave $1000 cash in his face and see what happens. :D You will be hard pressed to resell it for that amount. I know a gunsmith that would give ...

Hey, I just read online, about the Leatherwood Wilderness area. This sounds like a great adventure. Great luck!
