I've read quite a few posts on different spots on the net talkin about how some of the new 95's shoot low. I had two, an older one and one that was brand new, got rid of the brand new one after a couple of trips to the range. It shot low, the stocks didn't fit right and the front sight fell out. My ...

Very nice rifle Kirk, that is a really sweet old gal.

Huntermb

Well Nate was bang on. Took the bubba'd 92 apart and sure enough the trigger was longer. Stuck it in the 86 and it works perfectly. Thanks again Nate.

Huntermb

Thanks Nate, I'm going to be away for the weekend but when I get back I'll take the trigger out of one of my 92's and see how they compare. I'll keep you updated. thanks

Huntermb

That's the thing, it's not. The half cock notch is better than the full cock one. I even found a picture of an original 86 hammer online to compare mine to and it looks the same. It sounds like you have had the hammer out. Did you take the trigger out to see how the nose fits in the 1/4 cock notch?...

I've got an original 1886 in 45-70. She was made about 1895. She is in great shape and shoots really well but the rifle won't go to half cock. I've taken it apart and the hammer looks fine, not worn, it stays in full cock no problem but it won't half cock. Anyone got any suggestions of what to check...

Huntermb

100 miles round trip so about two hours, longer if there is a blizzard or ice storm. Been doing it ten years and it's getting really old. I would seriously take a job for less money to be closer to home and not have to travel as much.

I should mention that to him, pick up a barrel and a magazine tube and he'd be good to go.

Hey just got a call from a buddy of mine who has apparantly picked up a 307 model 94 that has been cut down to a trapper configuration. that seems to me like it's going to be too loud and a huge muzzle blast and that it will take away from this great cartridge, what's your thoughts on it or has anyo...

Huntermb

This one I'm looking at is an early one, not drilled or tapped so no scope mounting, and it has the really really fat forearm on it, no grip caps etc, but in fairly nice shape. I think the fellow might be having some second thoughts on getting rid of it as he has mentioned that he should keep it as ...

Huntermb

I'm more of a straight grip guy but the pistol grips sometimes do seem a little more comfortable depending on the gun. I was playing around with a pair of marlin 1895s, one with a pistol grip one without and both felt good, although the straight looks good. They would both look better without the ch...

Huntermb

I had a couple over the years, ugly, yet they sure seem to shoot well and never malfunctioned for me once.

Huntermb

So on something like a marlin do you prefer a straight grip or a pistol grip and why?

Huntermb

Sounds like a fellow won't go wrong with one in the cabinet. Anybody got any cast bullets they recommend for one?

Huntermb

Jacko are dies for the 35/303 and 375/303 easy to get there? Even though we here in Canada have tons enfields you don't see much in the way of wildcatted ones. The 303 improved was fairly popular at one time. I'd like to do one of my old No1 Mk4's in a 22-303 or 6mm-303 for varmint hunting.

Huntermb

One of these and a marlin 39A are on my "huntermb must acquire this year" list. Hard to come across here. You see tons more of the Browning .22 levers

I know more than one Maine moose/ bear guide that swears by the .35 Rem. The following is one of the best articles I have come across. Read sure to read both parts. 1886. http://www.suitorsgarage.com/gunstuff/35remington/35rempart2.html Wow great article. Thanks for all the input guys. I got to tak...

Huntermb

I'm looking at a 336 in 35 remington. I've never used the cartridge so any thoughts on it would be greatly appreciated.

Huntermb

-46 with the windchill here today. Wish it was 7.

Huntermb

Hey thanks Mike, I'll drop them a note. I wanna get this thing cleaned up and complete.

Huntermb

I've got a mismatched model 92 in 44-40 that is fully functional except it's missing the loading gate and screw. Does anyone know where I might get one in Canada?

Huntermb

Very nice of them. I always find it neat to see a mountie uniform far away from home.

Huntermb

What's the story on the mountie uniform in there?

Huntermb

The rope thing isn't as strange as you think. Originally it was a short rope made from horsehair or had lots of horsehair braided into it that was used only to keep th snakes away while you slept as a snake won't crawl over the horsehair because of the smell of the horse.

Huntermb

I'd like to add my name to the draw but not sure about shipping to Canada, would have to find an ffl close to me over the border I think.

Huntermb

Congrats C.Cash! Thanks Pete for having the contest that was really nice of you.

Huntermb

I would love a shot at that book!

Huntermb

Thanks guys, I appreciate it

Huntermb

Resident whitetail tags here in Manitoba are $36. Upland birds are $22, Waterfowl stamp is $17, moose and elk are $52, black bear is $31

Huntermb

I've got a couple of model 94's that I would love to put some saddle rings on (I've never been fortunate enough to buy a rifle with it on it already). Where can a fellow pick them up these days, is there someone making them?

Huntermb

That is fantastic news RR7!! I am very happy for you and your family.

Huntermb

I agree with you guys, the 38-40 is my favourite small cartridge too. Very accurate and consistent and like you said oldwin, it seems more so than the 44-40. My 44-40 hardly ever gets picked up, the 38wcf gets grabbed instead. My killed a black bear about 10 years ago and did so without issue. I lov...

Huntermb

How about sharing the methods you guys used, I'm sure there are lots of folks who are interested in hearing, I know I am.

Huntermb

I wish we had neat stuff like that up here, no badges up here unless it's a mountie one...and the draw of the red serge just isn't all that strong with me.

Huntermb

There is getting to be more and more around here Kirk. DNR won't release numbers but this deer season it was about half and half what we saw from between mulies and whitetails.

Huntermb

Nice Deer for sure. Any idea what part of Sask that was taken in? I'd say the southwestern part from the looks of the picture.

Huntermb

In the winter the majority of my guns are oil free and I use dry graphite to lubricate it.

Huntermb

We just had to back to back go through here, got 4 inches the first time and 8 inches the second time. Thankfully it is really light and fluffy and easy to move.

Huntermb

The Blr trigger has never bothered me in a hunting situation. Honestly, I cannot recall a single case, where I could blame a badly placed shot on the trigger. If I could make changes in the design, I would tone down the gloss finish, & enlarge the trigger guard & lever to better accomodate ...

Huntermb

WT bucks here commonly go over the 250 lb range. I have a couple of the years that have field dressed at around the 225 mark. I've seen does that field dressed at 180 here.

Huntermb

How's the accuracy in the 7mm Mag ones?

Huntermb

That's not a broad arrow nor a canadian marking

Huntermb

Worst part up here is that surplus ammo for them have dried right up so it is reloading for alot of shooting. They take to cast bullets really well for the most part. Truly fantastic rifles, no matter what model you have. There used to be alot of wildcatting with the cartridge up here too and I know...

oh so true.

We've got a big blow moving in here today calling for 6 -8 inches of snow and 40MPH winds so will see how that works out. Sounds likea good irish whiskey and movie night coming up

For me not to have my seasons would be like a fish out of water.. And besides I have found it diffucult to say the least to ride my sled on grass and dirt.

That never stopped some of the old railroaders I knew up here

When I worked outdoors in North Dakota one either wore Sorel's or Mickey Mouse boots. Sorel's were great until the liner's got wet from sweat, then you froze. The Mickey Mouse boots were cumbersome and take some getting used to, but you could literally pour water into them and still not get cold. Y...
