Trying to find the topic about the guy who purchased the really nice 71 Winchester ?

daisygordoninc

I've never had any problems with brass, or reloading, or reusing brass that has been shot.
Mine is one made in the 50's. I've never heard anyone say that about 348 brass.
Have you seen evidence of it ?

I had a Winchester 94 356 BB that I hunted bear with in BC. I shot and killed a black bear at 150 yards with one shot. It was a really nice gun. I just recently gave it to a relative. I had a scope on it, of course it was actually a 358, but not called that because they didn't want people to confuse...

daisygordoninc

Yes, thanks I do mean far left, maybe she is so far left she is now right, Ha .

I'm 75, been reloading for 15 years, hunting for 65 years, followed in my dad's footsteps.

daisygordoninc

I'm giving up on my planned moose hunt in BC this fall, would have been later this month. The border is still closed for anyone other than essential cargo. Didn't realize how much I was counting on it until I cancelled it. The guides must be struggling to keep their businesses operating. I'm hoping ...

daisygordoninc

Absolutely, thank you for saying so. I am a pastor in Western Oregon, we are being told by our governor Kate Brown that we cannot worship God publicly. How can it be that she is that stupid. I know California is dealing with this as well. People are beginning to push back, they should. Let people wh...

I am 74, been reloading about 15 years, collect Winchesters, primarily lever guns, but have many others of course.

daisygordoninc

Pretty darn cool, thanks for posting it, it gives some of us great ideas.

daisygordoninc

I've been buying/selling and collecting Winchester 94s for around 25 years. I rarely see a 94 made in the 30's.
Do you think the depression had an effect on how many rifles were being made by Winchester ?

daisygordoninc

Nice Gun, great pictures. I hunt deer with my "old" 94 32 special, made in 46. It shows lots of wear
like yours but shoots very well, just love carrying it. I have other much nicer ones but love it because
it is only one year younger than I am.

daisygordoninc

I love the 32 special, grew up shooting deer with a 94 given to me by my great aunt who had killed many deer with it. I think it was made in the 30's. My dad also had one, we hunted for many years with those 32s. I presently own several 94s in 32 special made from 46 to 55, several in very good cond...

Here is a second pic of the 32 special

Here are a couple of picks of sight, and the writing on the barrel, Nickel Steel Barrel/Especially for Smokeless Powder
I just can't get these pics to transfer, I have always had trouble with that on this sight, still do.

I have a Winchester 94 32 special that has serial number 171306, which was built in 1899. Of course the first 32 sp was built in Oct. 1901. I've ask a few gun guys what they think this means and most do not know. One suggested that it may have been manufactured as a 30-30 then rebarreled to 32 sp, a...

In Oregon our governor declared an emergency and made all kinds of requirements. The Oregon constitution says she can do that for 15 days then the legislature must meet and vote to extend it by a 2/3 vote. She has not done that at all, she is in violation of Oregon law.

daisygordoninc

After watching my wife go through a long case of shingles I gladly got the shot and was quite glad to feel
badly for a couple of days. I didn't think my wife was ever going to get through it, she now has had her
shingles shot as well.

Why are people who are still fully employed getting checks from the Government? Sounds like election year
politics to me.

daisygordoninc

My grandma had one, I used to like to peddle it just to see it work. She used it to sew when I was growing up. She also came to Oregon from California on a covered wagon from Susanville CA when she was a small girl with her parents who came to homestead near the Siuslaw river in Western Oregon. Her ...

Happy Easter, it's great to know Jesus. I am a pastor so we are doing our services Livestream from our associate pastor's living room. Lots to learn about that, we are getting better at it, but the message of resurrection and hope is the same. What is surprising to us is that more people watch on Fa...

daisygordoninc

Beautiful, thanks for sharing all of that with us. Question, what kind of winter have you had in Alaska, I always hear how warm it is getting to be there, My friend in Kodiak said they have had lots of cold and snow, what about there where you are ? I am often on Prince of Wales Island, seems they s...

I've always wanted to grow up and be like my dog, yellow lab who loves everyone,
forgives me, and wants to be with everyone.

Ruger has a new pistol out, you likely have seen it already. I am completely unfamiliar with the 5.7 x 28 mm. What would that caliber be used for, do any of you have experience with it ? Is it a rifle round as well ? I think it holds 20 rounds, maybe that is one of the interesting things about it. W...

I have shot and killed three moose in BC in recent years. I have used my Marlin 338 EXpress all three times. I have used a 200 gr. bullet all three times because I think anything with less weight might not get the job done. My shots have been 100yds, 150 yds, and 270 yds. I just can't think a light ...

daisygordoninc

Anyone believe 6.5 Grendel is heavy enough for elk or moose hunting ? I have believed because of the light bullet weight it is probably not a good choice for large game ? I know many people believe it is just about the perfect gun for almost anything. Anyone have opinions or experience with large ga...

daisygordoninc

Winchester 71s are too impressive to do anything to it, keep it, or sell it to me.

daisygordoninc

That 44-40 would bring a smile to any levergun enthusiast. You found a true prize.
I love that it shoots so accurately, I hope you get to shoot something with it.
There aren't a lot of those in that condition left.
Congratulations.

The thing I remember about the sears catalog was that all my friends at school had the same flannel shirts each fall,
we all ordered through the sears catalog, and there were only a few patterns.

daisygordoninc

I am a pastor of a Church and we do have a security team. Yes I wished they all had more training but that will have to be a goal for the future. Some are ex-military, some are just guys that have shot a lot. They have had a couple of times when they had to take large knives and once a sword under a...

I recently read "Wild Bill" by Tom Clavin, he is known for being a great researcher and cutting out the wild stories. He includes some of the history of Calamity Jane, who is buried beside Wild Bill in Deadwood. You might be interested because so much of what has been written is just story...

Amen, glad you are here, I feel safer knowing you are around.

daisygordoninc

Thanks, may be something worth seeing some time. That sounds interesting, he must have been a military guy .

Does anyone know Dan Starks who is building a Winchester Museum near Dubois WY right now.
Plans to have it open by next year. I have a friend who lives there and has watched it being
built. Kind of odd given the Cody Museum is so close to that area. Anyone heard about it ?

daisygordoninc

Hey thanks, I'm looking at options, that is generous of you to offer being a host.

daisygordoninc

Received my new book by Rob Kassab & Brad Dunbar, wow ! So beautifully done, should be around for generations. I'm thankful to them for their hard work, research and passion to do this project for so many who treasure lever actions and treasure the 1895. Thank you Rob and Brad . Are either of th...

daisygordoninc

I flew to Cody this week, a friend picked me up at the airport who knew the area, he is actually from Dubois and drove up to be my guide. I had just had my gun article published in the WACA Journal, so they made me feel really welcome, and of course no charge for the museum two day event for us. It ...

daisygordoninc

Thanks got mine ordered, can't wait to see it, have been hearing about it for some time now.
Will have to purchase my own 1895, which I have wanted to do for a long time. Have bid on
several, but they can be spendy.

daisygordoninc

Should have started hunting in BC in those days. I was living in Africa for some of those years and didn't have much money later. There is so much room for hunting in BC and so few moose hunters. I suppose we will be seeing the same kind of thing here in the USA in the future if the liberals have th...

daisygordoninc

My guide can't even hunt in his own area with the tag he has. Moose tags are a draw for Canadians who live there.

daisygordoninc

I don't think we could get our guns and ammo in the country without a letter from our guide.
Don't think I could buy a moose tag without the guide.

daisygordoninc

Just recently learned that my moose hunting in the Caribou District of BC will not happen this fall. The liberals in Vancouver have been persuaded by someone, maybe representing the Native Tribes to curtail the guided moose hunts this fall. My guide who usually gets 7 tags and plans his hunts around...

daisygordoninc

really nice gun, one of a kind, congratulations, great caliber also.

daisygordoninc

Several years ago I might have asked this question on this forum previously, so bear with me.
Are any of you members of the WACA ? And if you are, have you been to the Cody Wyoming
event that takes place in July ? I'm wondering if it is worth the trip. Any thoughts ?

daisygordoninc

I know a guy that is hunting for a 444, he believes Marlin made them in the 1895 model.
Does anyone know for sure ? Does anyone have one ?

daisygordoninc

Twobit,
I know you are keeping and tracking many Winchester 92's. I have one and maybe I have already sent info. to
you about it if not I would like to, and ask a question about it.

daisygordoninc

I have a question regarding the date of manufacture of my older Winchester 92 25-20. Under Winchester Dates of Manufacture my 25-20 is listed as 1897. When I wrote for the Winchester Letter from Cody, my 25-20 with serial number 159065 the letter says it was received in warehouse on March 5, 1901. W...

I was born in July of 1945, my dad was in the Pacific but not at Iwo Jima. That battle was so significant and what a sacrifice for so many. Thanks for the reminder. My dad didn't come home until the war was over and able to get on a ship to come home. Some of those ships had thousands of men sitting...

daisygordoninc

It's hard to believe but I read an article that credited the extreme cold in the midwest, and the unusual snows out west
to "global warming". Yes, I couldn't believe it either. Pretty amazing.

daisygordoninc

Really nice rifle, thanks for showing it to us.

daisygordoninc

My hope would be that Winchester might put that new 350 in a lever action. It will be interesting to see what the
ballistics look like. Those should be out soon I would think. Has anyone seen a box of these in a store ?
