afaik thank you very much for clearing that up for me. john

on the winchester model 71 aside from the bolt peep which i have on one rifle they offered as an option the lyman w71 receiver sight which about 1948 became a standard item. my question is what is the difference between this lyman w71 and the lyman no. 56a receiver sight? thanks john

erlmck: i appreciate for the information about the pressure im running in these loads.they are mild and not for hunting.also thank you for the tip about removing any stuck rifle case.john

thank you all for your help.i did use a paper clip and i did have a dental pick and wasnt able to feel anything.i noticed that when the pick or paper clip bottomed out it was always exactly to the web or bottom of the case about 1/4 inch up from the base of the case where the ring is.i will also nex...

thanks for the response. i will try the wire.these cases were full length resized because they are for lever action rifles.the ring was not present till i resized them.and most folk recommend full length resizing for lever actions.some of them were factory rounds fired and reloaded once. some were b...

i know that the bright ring you see on the head of a rifle case shows the case stretching from shooting and full length resizing but do you guys discard them at the first apperance of the ring which is what i have or reload them one more time.i shoot 348 in an original winchester 71 and a browning 7...

just this morning i received a notice from natchez that they have hornady 405 brass available so i ordered me up some.john

crs thanks for the heads up about recoil.actually because of your work about the 1895 and the 405 i was drawn to that caliber.i had read about your work with 300 and 400 grain bullets.i shipped my rifle to turnbull and will have the safety removed a front sight to work with the williams fp receiver ...

i have a marlin guide gun also a browning 71 and an oringinal winchester 71.i am only interested in normal leveraction accuracy nothing special.im just curious about takedown centerfire leveractions.with my eyesight 3 or 4 inches at 50 yards wont be bad.i just wonder if these takedowns can with repe...

i am buying a miroku made winchester in 405 and it is a takedown rifle. i have never owned a takedown rifle and from some things i have read it seems some say that they will not stay as accurate as solid frame guns because of the takedown feature even tho the gun can be adjusted to be made tighter. ...

thanks for the hellos and welcomes. mod71alaska my Winchester 71 is a standard rifle and has the bolt peep rear sight. it is as far as I know all original. it came to me in good shape. the wood has scratches but the blueing was really good. also the bore is in excellent condition. the action was too...

hello everyone although I have read the lever guns forums for a long time I haven't been a member so I thought I would join up. i have three lever action rifles. first an original Winchester 71 made in 1936 then a miroku model 71 made in the mid 80s and finally a marlin 45-70 guide gun made while ma...
