Thanks for all the info. I may just try to sell them as a group.

CBinNH

Some more pics. The shotgun stuff looks kind of beat up & rickety. I didn't do pics of it.

An older friend of mine brought over a box of older loading tools. Said he has had them laying around for years, never thought much of them. He asked me what they might be worth as he is thinning out his possessions. Winchester & Ideal 32-40, 38 S&W loader & moulds + odds & ends. Any...

CBinNH

Mine is a Centennial.
I guess I will find the right size punch & go from there.
I'd like to get the top left one in pic to work.

CBinNH

So, I shot my new to me B92 .44 Mag with Winchester 240 grain JSP ammo. Grouped fairly well for me at 50 yards but about 6 inches high with my rear sight fully lowered. Do older Winchester carbine sight blades interchange or am I going to have to get creative? I think I have a few laying around. Tha...

CBinNH

Looking at the listings, they are SKU #'d TMXXX.

CBinNH

Thanks guys. I'll see if I can figure it out.

CBinNH

I have a Win 92 takedown 32-20 from the 20's. It is sometimes leaving the fired case in the chamber. Maybe 1/3 of the time.
My guess is the ejector but when it does eject proper, it launches them far enough that they are hard to find. Any ideas? Thanks.

I posted I'd take it. Thanks.

I thought I'd give the new Hornady 218 Bee ammo a try today. Haven't shot the Browning 65 in a while. Fed & fired fine. I tried it at 50 yards sitting in the dirt elbows on knees. I have new Hornady brass to load so I'll not send too many factory loads downrange. Keeping some for comparison purp...

I just ordered 250 pieces of Hornady 218 Bee brass form Midway. Glad to see new brass again. Instock at Grafs too.

I guess I have seen more of the sights like Shasta shows in his pics. I struggled to get pics of mine this morning with my old camersa that has trouble focusing. While I lay on the excuses, it is something of a blizzard out too. The front sight is stamped Marbles No. 2. The rear does look like it ha...

CBinNH

I have a Winchester 1894 32-40 made in 1906. 26" nickel steel oct. barrel. The sights on it don't look correct to me. If I wanted to find factory original standard front & rear sights, what would I be looking for? #22 certain letter code rear? Thanks.

CBinNH

I have one of the 9mm versions that take the 92 mags. Fun gun. Surprising accuracy at 50 yards. I put an Ultradot sight on it.
I take a disabled nephew shooting on a regular basis. It is his favorite. Manageable for him with one hand.
My only complaint with it is a long heavy trigger pull.

CBinNH

Well, I looked again. I don't see a letter anywhere on it. Perhaps it has been worn off.

CBinNH

Thanks for the reply(s). No number stamp I can see. Appreciate your offer to relieve me of my burden AJMD429.

CBinNH

I was wondering what one might be worth. Thanks.

Gary is a class guy. My dealings with him have always been pleasant. I listed some guns for a farmer friend in need & Gary bought one & donated some extra $ too.

CBinNH

Thanks for the response 6. I was shooting at 50 yards & it was cloudy today. I was using factory loads. Maybe I'll load up some with some H4895 & attempt adjustment when I find a good load. I'll be needing to roll my own if I plan on shooting it much.

CBinNH

I picked up this Model 55 in .32 Special recently. Thanks to you guys here I was able to establish that it has a Lyman #21 sight. I was shooting it today & it is shooting about an 1 1/2" to the right. The front sight (Lyman #4) is already offset a little to the right to where I don't really...

CBinNH

More pics:

So, #21 it is?

CBinNH

I picked up a Winchester Model 55 in .32 Special recently & was wondering what model Lyman sight I have, a #21 or a #38? I think the front is a #4. It has the ivory insert.

Lucky for me, my local shop has had primers in stock all through this craze.

I have a CZ in 7.62x39. I like it. It shoots cheap Silver Bear into 1" groups & Hornady SST ammo into less. Nice crisp light trigger. Mild recoil & cheap to feed accurately make it not worth the time to reload for it. Any of my friends that shoot it want to buy it.

CBinNH

I just wanted to pass along what a heck of a nice guy 1886 is. I had the pleasure of meeting with him & his lady friend today. He bought an 1895 Browning through me that I was helping a friend sell. It has been a killer year farming for my friend with no rain early in the season & 2 tractor ...

I posted last week about picking up this 336 Octagon model. Today was my first chance to try it. Distance was about 50 yards (paces). Used my range bag to shoot off of. The first shot went high. The nice crisp, not too heavy trigger kind of surprised me. Next 5 went where I like them. The gun came w...

CBinNH

I stumbled across a Marlin model I hadn't seen before. It's a 336 Octagon, one of 2,414 made in 1973. 22" octagon barrel, straight stock, & of course, no safety. It reminds me of the newer Cowboy model that brings more than I care to pay. Oh, 30-30. Had to have it. Hope to shoot it in the n...

CBinNH

I like the round. I am on my third 327. I started with a SP101, went to a GP100, & now have a S&W 632. Barks some in my J-frame Smith, but not uncontrolable. I also shoot 32 H&R, 32 longs, shorts, & 32 auto as it is semi-rimmed in it. Pretty versatile.

CBinNH

Since I found a guy on another forum that sells it for $35 a gallon, I'll be using it for a while.

CBinNH

The pay scale in small NH towns won't draw too many prospective workers either.

CBinNH

A note on the Ruger story from a guy in the area of their Newport NH plant. They have been looking for help for months. Locally, they are using employment services to find help. Over a month ago, they were looking for 180 workers. Last ad I heard on the radio said they still need 100. They are even ...

Manure won't stick to um.

A sad reminder of how precious & short our lives can be. R.I.P.

CBinNH

Thanks earlmck. I remembered that I have an older Lyman manual in my reloading cabinet too. I loaded up a handful with 18 grains of IMR 4227. I also was able to bottom out the insert in the sight. The results:

CBinNH

I appreciate everyones input. I have no intention of hotrodding my 38-55. I was under the impression (apparantly mistaken) that IMR 4227 was used for target loads in the 38-55 along with the 32-40. I'll probably buy some 5744.

CBinNH

I emailed Hodgdon. Their response: "We have no IMR 4227 data for the 38-55".

CBinNH

It is not marked NS on the barrel top. I have not pulled the fore-end to see if it has NS there. I am assuming it is a black powder barrel being a 1905 vintage gun. Current data from Hodgdon does not show any 4227 loads. I guess I can email them, although I have not received a response yet to a ques...

CBinNH

I just picked up a 1894 in 38-55 & tried some reloads that used to be a go to load in a few others I've had. 16 grains of IMR 4227 & a 260 grain cast bullet, Starline long brass kindly provided by member Spaceman Spiff. At 50 yards my first shots were over the target with my rear sight at it...

CBinNH

I only shot 250-255 grain bullets in mine. Shot them fine. 24" barrel, points nice. It is one of the Cowboy's listed on Gunbroker. We can work something out if you are interested.

CBinNH

I went. Plenty of elbow room for a change. Almost bought a 1894 38-55 with an asking price of $995. It had a small crack in the fore end & the bore was a little frosted. I'll probably regret passing it up.

CBinNH

I received one from Marlinowners also. Probably because I didn't supply my year hatched when I signed up.

CBinNH

Are gas checked bullets OK in old blackpowder steel leverguns such as my 1894 32-40? I was thinking so because of so little bearing surface with the bore. Thanks.

CBinNH

Very informative. I even think a klutz like me could do it following your directions. Thanks.
