I agree with that Dusty Texian. I have owned a couple of 45-75 and feel that is the best cartridge. That being said, all I have now is a 76 in 45-60. It was worked on and given new life, with a relined barrel. Sweet shooter from 100-150 yards. Your just gonna have to get all the calibers, and have a...

I got to shoot and handle a brand new Winchester 1873 carbine, 20" round barrel out of the box. I found it very clean, smooth and pleasant to shoot. I did not like the front and rear sights too much. The bland wood seemed un-Winchester like. But, I would buy one and make a few changes here and ...

Boy howdy, my boy and I see them once in awhile down here in Texas. She was a 1971 Mach 1. I used call her the Blue Bullet.

Maybe, I will revisit acquiring another one, once we get back on the farm.

Til then, thanks for the memories!

Thats awesome! I still love those lines of the Mach I. I had one that was the baby blue or sky blue color, gosh I sure miss her!

I am real happy for you all!

For the Revolver - For me - the early years of the Colt Single Action Army 2nd Generation. 1956-1959. Classic lines and times. Listen to it as you slowly draw the hammer back. Just picked up another one for 900. Cleaned her up and wow. Of the 45LC, 38 Special, 357 Magnum and the 44 Special calibers,...

wonderful.

Very appealing engraving.

Good subject. On my Winchester model 70, it has the original front and rear factory iron sights and also a weaver pivot scope mount with the Weaver K6 scope. Hinges are on the lower left side of the scope rings and a pivot / or catch ( for lack of the proper term) on the lower right side of the scop...

Thats funny!

Check out the Colt LE901-165, There was a write up in some shooter mag somewheres.
Seemed to be fairly good way to go. I would go that route, if I was not so deep in Armalites.

okdee

ouch!!

I like it! It looks like a work gun...

I sure like that photo! Thanks.

Nice rifle. I have relined one rifle and it shoots dot on! Decided against changin out the wood, kinda became attached to that old worn, beatup, but still capable of shooting well, look! Any way you go, it will be yours!

Hey Pitchy, Yes sir, my particular SKB, 200E - 20 ga shotgun - has the nickel engraved receiver. I have several 100's. I think that they are mighty fine shotguns!

You gotta good friend that passed it on to you!

Have a grand winter and happy new year!

Although it is not part of the current crop, I have a 20 GA, Model 200E, made by SKB, for the Ithaca company. 25" side-by-side barrels. My 15 year son, simply knocks anything flying, down with it. Course havin young eyes and the desire to beat the old man, has it's own rewards! :lol: Good luck ...

okdee

Well done! Looks like you thought about it and made it happen.

Is there anyone that would suggest an excellent gunsmith that has worked on Winchester Model 1895 lever action rifles.
I would like to know their contact information.

Thank you kindly,
OkD

okdee

I keep mine.
Sometimes I think that I might toss afew, then I thumb through em and decide, I best hang on to them.
There will be a time, in the future, when reading back issues, brings back good memories!
OkD

okdee

That is a grand time. I look forward to doing that!

okdee

Thank you MikeD and Sixgun, for the thoughts! Interesting to note, I had a good gunsmith work on the bolt face, as it was preened out pretty badly. Probably due to someone using high velocity ammo. He also suggested keeping the velocity down around 2500 fps and lower. I had the thought to do a bit o...

I recently came into one. Born in 1924, according to the records, 30-06 caliber. Looks to be a good shooting rifle. There does not seem to be much about the quality of the takedown model, that I have discovered. Is anyone willing to impart some wisdom in my directon, about the takedown model? I appr...

okdee

Well, I got a egg/mud combo on my face! :lol: The gunsmith was still out of town, who I was going to get a chamber casting done on this "Supposed rechambered rifle" and I kept on thinkin about what round does fit in this chamber? WEll, I started rehashin old ammo boxes and reloads from my ...

okdee

Thank-you greatly. Interesting enough, the Norma 6.5 MM round does not completely go into the chamber. I have been in contact with my Gunsmith and will do a chamber casting. Are you able to measure the length of brass for each caliber? The shoulder of the Norma 6.5mm seem to be stopping full entry i...

okdee

I am looking for options to shoot my grandfathers customized Ariskia type 38. Looks like he rechambered it from 6.5mm to 256 caliber. I assume 'Newton' as it was done in the late 1940's or early 1950's.
I appreciate any good direction.
OKD

okdee

Thanks for all this great feelin for the 33 wcf! I think I can handle gettin more dies and bullets and brass! Already did the 45-75, so this should not be a big deal. Specially with a straight wall!
Thank you all kindly!

Oklahoma Dee

I did a small search here, and did not see the questions or answers that I am searching for. So,,,I have passed by a couple of Winchesters in 33WCF, due to my lack of knowledge of the caliber. So, to further my edification.... :D Does anyone really shoot this caliber? Is the ammo easy to locate and ...

Hey, No one mentioned this. At Least that I read. Clean your magzine tube and spring. Seems all the new rifles have some amount of rust and gunk in them from the get-go. Could be the final push on the spring, with the last round, is getting too much resistance from the rust and gunk. Hence, it maybe...

Agreed 100% We shoot bullets ranging from 110gr to 160gr in ours.

I have gone and bid online with proxibid, with their auctions. I have yet, to outbid for anything. If your looking for something that you cannot find in your local gunshop, this can be another outlet to checkout. They seem to be quality folks, but as I said, top dollar seems to rule. They do have ex...

Very sweet! I have a buddy that has one in the full Magazine option. Yours is just as sweet.

I bought one a number of years ago. I wanted to shoot it at sidematches. After I sat down and worked up load, after load, after load, and still could not get a decent group. I traded it off. It was felt, with a couple other shooters, that the round barrel with the single band, was not benficial to a...

Gosh, those are pretty funny!

They are pretty good little revolvers. Mine seems to really like the 22Mags. Pretty much dot on. A keeper.

That does seem a bit steep of a price. Sounds like their basing the price on that Winchester name. I have a Marlin model 92, that shoots the 32 Long rim and Center fire rounds. Over the years I have gathers both types of ammo. I also keep the brass and do have a bullet mold, in the event that I aspi...

pretty Interesting! Thanks for the replay! This naturally makes me wonder about the other companies that make primers. Winchester and Federal come to mind. I seem to recall a story in the NRA magazine that covered the primer manufactor and testing processes by the big 3. Kinda of fuzzy, but I seem t...
