A- HA! ! I asked on the old board sometime back but thought the dovetail was being pointed out about halfway up the square base. NOW I see what is being pointed out! :D I guess I should have gone to a larger monitor and glasses a while back... :? I have no idea if this is the original barrel or what...

At sometime in it's life, my .38-40 1889 had it's front sight filed down to a nub. It's been reblued and the stocks refinished so it has zero value other than as a shooter. I've thought about building up the front sight but my brazing skills aren't up to snuff for this IMO. What possible issues coul...

Yep, he's good folks. Helped me out when no one locally (including myself) could figure out the tube on my .32RF.

Does it simply replace rear sight or is it a d&t setup?

OTOH, one of those countries went to war over a SOCCER GAME in the 70's. Wasn't it Venezuela and Hondruas?

Right there with ya! Shooting should be fun and to me recoil ain't that fun.

The closest I got to "he-man" was either firing a .50 BMG rifle or a .410 Contender pistol.

It's been waaaay to long since I saw it, I always thought he was from Texas. Maybe he just sailed from there?

If so, nevermind.

With all the talk of 9410s, I went poking around GunsAmerica and found a shop listing a leveraction .410 from Marlin. Bad ID from the seller?

I'm thinking of having my "spare" Cadet done in .256. Just need to decide if I want a rebarrel or have it sleeved.

awp101

FWIW if the ammo is the same I've seen at the local Cabela's it's Ultramax remanufactured ammo.

My 1894C wants to choke on it at times but I think it has more to do with my rifle than the ammo.

awp101

Thanks all!

I'm not dead set on a .38-55 but I thought it would be nice to know what can be done when I need a project for a rainy day.

Like I'll ever run out of projects with a 43 year old house...

Over on gunsnet there were 4-5 threads all on the same page.

.30-30 336s seem to be pretty prevalent around here. Could one be rebarrelled to .38-55? Would there be more involved than just a barrel swap?

Would it be worth the time/effort/cash if I was just wanting a project?

FMG9 IIRC, it's a concept from Magpul and they say in the video they have no intention of production. Basically just a design exercise I guess.

I doubted it as well until I heard it on 2 different outlets and they kept saying it was gusting up to that. No idea what the sustained winds were.

I'm wondering if they original story indicated 155 kmh? I haven't done the conversion yet from kmh to mph.

The plastic sabot wont ever hurt the bore of a rifle. True but speed still equals some amount of heat. I can usually tell when a shotgun has had a bunch of rounds through it without the bbl being cleaned due to the plastic wad residue. I'd even get it in mine when I was shooting a bunch of skeet.

Besides, IIRC one of those inserts is a post. All you need to do is shorten that post a hair if you want to shoot as is. That's what I was thinking. On the too tall front sight, is the globe too tall (which is why I'd have to call H&R) or the insert? Just planning ahead. If there's a 1% chance ...

The Buffalo Classic is set up to take a scope mount by removing the rear sight. Be prepared to dink with iron sights anyway, as for some reason H&R put a too tall front sight on them, and when you run out of elevation adjustment on that Williams, you'll still be 6" low at 100 yds! :?: The ...

I see these come with Lyman front and Williams rear sights but are they tapped for glass as well?

I'd probably never use a scope more than once or twice on it but the option would be nice.
