Love the sheath idea. I put slings on all my lever actions so no need for the scabbard ( great looking outfit and very good job, I like it) but that knife sheath I really like. Make quite a few knife sheaths also.

jstanfield103

What a Beautiful rifle. Any man would dream about that rifle. Thank you for sharing the pictures.

jstanfield103

Only thing I really do to mine after buying them is cut the rebounding hammer leg off the strut. After that they are all good to go. As far as mechanically being sound. I usually do that before I even take them out for their first sighting in and function check.

AJMD
Thanks, it does.

Guy's I have had this Rio Grande for a while. Never gotten any pictures of it because I knew I wanted the new R95 due to all the bad talk over the web about the Rio Grande. I have had no problems with mine and I could not bring myself to trade it in on the R95 which I have since bought both models o...

I have a total of 5 Miroku rifles in lever action. So well made I feel they are the best of the best.

jstanfield103

I may have to give it a shot, I like to try and do things myself. Thanks for the info and the motivation.

4t5 I have a really old cross cut hand saw rig that I use. Fine teeth, almost dull teeth now. I really need a new saw for it or get the old one sharpened some how. I tape the stock up really well with painters tape, measure and mark the LOP I need to cut (You have to cut a little shorter than LOP to...

jstanfield103

Thank you streetstar,
I usually cut mine down before I even shoot my rifles after purchase. It is still always nerve racking but never as bad as the first 3 or 4 that you do.

jstanfield103

Here is the butt Pad after corrected fitting. Happy with it now, in fact extremely happy with the fit now.

jstanfield103

Okay guy's, Don't have pictures of it yet but did get the butt pad (Factory) fit the way it should. Just took some thinking on what or how I wanted to handle it. It fits perfect now without any gap hider. Really happy with it now and will just leave it on the rifle. Pictures to come soon. Probably t...

jstanfield103

I will just stay with the factory irons on this rifle. I have so many with the Marbles Bullseye sight that I believe that I will leave the factory on this one to change things up. Cut the LOP today trying to use the factory butt pad. It works pretty well, needs just a tad more work but definitely no...

jstanfield103

Okay guy's, Picked her up yesterday (Saturday 8/31) I have everything done to her that I want except the LOP. I have a Marlin plastic butt plate coming in for her, when I receive it I will cut her down to 12.5" LOP as I do with all my rifles since I am only 5'5" tall/short. Looks like the ...

jstanfield103

I have and old fashion miter saw that I have cut several rifles down with. I tape the stock up really well and go light and slow so I do not get chips on the bottom side of the wood when cutting. If possible flip it over half way the just sand flat on a belt sander to even it back up (which I very s...

jstanfield103

I really have nothing I want to get rid of. So it's time to take the slow process on this one. Plus keeps the wife happier.

jstanfield103

streetstar
Thank you.

jstanfield103

Picture will say it all. Glad I was there to get this one. In Jail and will take me a little while since gun money is low due to buy my Rossi 1895 45/70 and my Winchester 1886 45/70. Then this pops up. Can't wait to let it loin my Rossi R92 in 357mag. https://i.postimg.cc/C1TdrPbD/2024-Marlin-1894-c...

jstanfield103

ikocher Thanks, I had this red dot sitting around for ever. It came with a mount on it but after using a rail with that mount it always set way to high so it always got benched. I know there are mounts out there but I still did not like them as far as height went. I just decided to make my own for i...

Guy's

Thanks for the comments and laughs. Love of my life second to my wife and kids is lever guns. I have several and just about all my guns are levers. I have very few that are not.

jstanfield103

Never fired mine at dusk either to see the muzzle blast. I will never use a suppresser on her I live in the country and no worries about the noise. Just like my wife, I let her bark

jstanfield103

Thanks guy's The sliding rear sights on the two carbines I have I took off mine and replaced that with a Marbles Bullseye sight. I believe on this rifle I'm going to leave the traditional buckhorn on her. First rifle I've done that with. Tycer thanks, but with my body size being only 5'5" I don...

jstanfield103

That's just too funny

I used to be nervous, but after doing so many rifles I don't even think about it. If yours is that good of a shooter why bother her.

jstanfield103

Okay guy's I really like the 45/70 and I have a Rossi Reo Grande SS in 45/70 that shoots great and recently just picked up a 1886 Winchester that I absolutely Love. But I have read so much about the Rio Grande being bad rifles that they quit making them I have been a little nervous about mine. Mine ...

jstanfield103

Thanks Tutt,
On my wish list.

jstanfield103

Sorry to hear about your health fight. I love that rifle, and that tang sight would be interesting to try. I put one tang sight on a rifle. Hated it so bad I sold the rifle. I wrap my thumb around the stock and the sight interfered terribly. This one would probably work.

jstanfield103

I went to my LGS one time to pick up a High Wall that they had for a while. Got there and some one else was buy it. So he was trading in a Winchester model 61 that I ended up buying and taking home. One day I will buy the high wall.

jstanfield103

Beautiful rifle

jstanfield103

One thing about the Italian rifles are the soft screws they use. Good rifles but the screws are really soft. I am using 405 grain bullets right now and they are feeding okay, just a little clunky. I can't wait till she is broken in. One thing is she does really kick with that steel butt plate. I am ...

jstanfield103

Grizz if you are anything like me, and I did not do it would eat at me every time I held the rifle and shot it. Have to do it to make it fit my body and at 62 the steel butt plate just is not enjoyable to shoot.

jstanfield103

Okay guy's took a quick picture with the new butt pad on her today before the storm hit. I really am liking this rifle the more I handle her. This shorter LOP for me made the world of difference in my hands for comfort and recoil management. Now I can really enjoy her. I hated to cut LOP on such a G...

jstanfield103

Okay guy's Got my New 1886 Miroku Winchester in and what a beauty she is. Did the things I wanted to her before I even took her out for the first date. Took three rounds to get her on target and then the next 6 rounds were just for fun. Well kind of fun, that steel butt plate was just punishing. Lef...

jstanfield103

EG73,
You need to watch some of this guy's video about that rifle. They are scary awesome the power behind that caliber. He has a few on it.
look him up on YouTube, Leverguns50 and do a search for 50/110.

jstanfield103

Those cuffs really do look nice. Thanks for posting them.

jstanfield103

Okay, Guys I did get her picked up Thursday. What a Beautiful rifle. Have not gotten her to the range as of yet. I wanted to do a couple things to her before that first shooting. I took the stock off and did away with the rebounding hammer strut leg. Works great, just like my two Winchester 92's. Th...

jstanfield103

Guy's thanks for all the replies. I can not use a slip on pad on this rifle. I cut all my rifles LOP down to 12.5" except my two Winchester Short rifles ( I believe they are at 13"LOP from factory ) and one short rifle Rossi 92 that is 12.75 LOP from factory. I bought the short rifle versi...

jstanfield103

Guy's I am a lever gun fanatic, but I am really excited. I love the 92 action and have several, but I have been wanting an 1886 in 45/70. I finally bit the dust and bought one off of GunBroker Monday. It should be at my LGS tomorrow (Thursday). I bought the short rifle version. Pictures to come prob...

jstanfield103

I Love the 1892 Winchester action, I have a bunch of that action in Rossi and Uberti. I also have two 92's Winchesters made in the Miroku factory. Great rifles, so when I was looking for another 45/70 besides the one I have in a 95 style action I wanted the 1886 in Winchester Miroku only. Heck the p...

jstanfield103

Thank you

jstanfield103

I always claim single 0 dependents. I always have gun money at the end of the year and that is when I buy most of my guns. Taxes are what they are so you just have to deal with them the best way that you can. It sucks big time but it is life in the good old USA

jstanfield103

Ok Guy's/Girl's Tax Time Again, Time for a new Henry Well I have been working on it ever since buy it. I am a shorter fella so I always have to cut the LOP down to 12.5" which I did on this rifle. Bought a used Military style sling for it that was shortened by someone. I had lengthen it back to...

jstanfield103

If only one, I would prefer the .44 Mag. Absolutely nothing at all the .44 Mag won't do. I have this Rossi in .357 Mag and the exact same style in a Winchester .44 Mag. Prefer the .44

jstanfield103

Glad to see you took over the forum. Hoping that you make a few changes here. I am a Lever gun fanatic. I've bought a few of your sights over the years, very nice. Don't know about others, because I don't spend a whole lot of time on this site. To me just a little to much confusion on seeing everyth...

jstanfield103

Love it

jstanfield103

For me I have the Rossi 16" Big Loop short rifle in .357 really like it. But for caliber wise I will take the 44 Mag which I have in the exact same rifle but Winchester.

jstanfield103

Thank you

jstanfield103

The Micarta does look good but I was looking for that exact same thing in blued steel. How do you have that held in ? Glued ? I was looking and wondering if someone made these in steel that screwed on from the underneath side.

jstanfield103

I have been to this site a few times but really have never stuck around. I have almost all my rifles are lever guns except one Marlin model 60. I have New Model Winchesters, Uberti' s, Marlins, Henry's and Browning along with Rossi's also. All very good rifles. But the Winchesters are really very we...

jstanfield103

AJMD429 It would be nice if they did but I am happy to have them placed in the back dovetail of where the original was. Kind of in a way makes them look more authentic to me. Scott, since most hunting with a higher caliber is done in colder weather (Cool) the shorter stock does not grab the clothing...

jstanfield103

Guy's Thanks for all the comments. Really appreciate the advice also on the tape and stock. I have tried it that way but for me it never seems to work out. I have two more Bullseye sights on the way for a couple 22 rifles. One a 1966 39A Golden Mountie and the other for a New Browning BL-22 Micro Mi...
