Talking with the gunsmith today, the dovetail edges were filed square. We talked it over and decided to silver solder the hanger onto the barrel. The bore is too good to discard the barrel.

Thanks guys!

Walker

Picked up this old 86 years ago and had it in the safe. It's getting refinished and it looks like the hanger dovetail was wallowed out enough that it hasn't enough metal left to ping. Any ideas? I don't want to restore it, just get it back into hunting shape. I haven't come across a replacement barr...

Nice shot and the rifle is outstanding!

Walker

Now that was excellent!

Beautiful Winchester and a great hunt

Hey Guys, this morning Turnbull had 4 sets of Hornady custom 50-110 dies https://www.turnbullrestoration.com/gun ... 0-hornady/

Hope you get through it quickly. Got my gallbladder removed Monday... wife tested positive Wednesday and I tested positive today. First time for us both. So far just feels like bad allergies.

Walker

Happy Birthday Sir! Been a real pleasure hanging out here and rereading your book.

Walker

Happy Birthday Jim!

Walker

That would do just fine!

Walker

Walker

Congratulations! It sure makes the journey better.

Walker

One of my favorite stories.

Walker

I'm in the same club. Shoot equally poorly with either hand.

Walker

...and Hannie Caulder. Hard to believe she's gone and we're that old.

Walker

Happy Birthday! Hope it was a good one.

Walker

They shoot alright. This is from 7 yds. The spread is from shooting as quickly as I could. I need to get them out more often.

I still don't see how Fitz pocket carried those cut down New Services. I had Andy Horvath work over a pair of abused ones and thin the trigger guards but I don't even think that's needed. Had the itch...

Walker

Didn't you walk funny without it Doc?

Walker

Nice! I've got an old MS model 1903 with 6 notches carved in the bottom of the butt stock.

Walker

Yeah, up to that point it was ok... attention to historic detail is frequently not a priority in Hollyweird.

Walker

Excellent!

Walker

Thanks Guys. I'll miss my hunting buddies but I won't miss hunting the Mojave. I've got family with land around Tulsa but we're too far away. Not necessarily a bad thing. Best of luck Tutt! Thanks Rockrat, I'll check out the OKC gun club wait list.

Walker

Sold the house in San Diego and moved back home to Oklahoma in July. Haven't seen 1 BLM yard sign since and folks are friendly. Now just need to find out where everyone's going to shoot their old Winchesters.

Walker

Love it! Can't wait to send it to my niece and imagine the eye rolls.

Walker

Sweet!

Walker

That's weird. Nice looking rifle, saw it posted elsewhere.

Walker

Have a good one!

Walker

Hope it was a good one Jim!

Walker

Excellent! Thanks for posting Nath.

Walker

Beautiful rifle! Now I need to read up on the 40-60.

Walker

I like it!

Walker

Happy Birthday DT! Hope you're keeping those '76 Winchesters busy!

Walker

Small and handy. I'm always loosing tools to my wife so I ordered 2.

Walker

Just the one, wish it was original... Shipped to San Francisco in 1913 as a 32wcf. 1st gen Russian and S&W 44 barrel and cylinder fitted later.

They don't have photos up but it's a 99F.
From their used guns page...
Savage 99F Classic lever action in .358Win. Blue receiver hardwood stock. Brass cartridge counter. 1600.00

It was still there yesterday.

Walker

The LGS has a Savage 99 in 358 but they're asking $1600.

Walker

Nice! That's one of my bucket list guns.

Walker

That's awesome!

Walker

Thanks Guys, I may have to go with the Parker Hale sight then. Haven't seen an original lyman 36-MS in about 10 years.

Walker

Picked up a well-hunted model 1903 carbine and I've been wanting to mount a peep sight. I've had a couple of mannlichers and over the years picked up a couple of lyman no. 36 swing away peep sights, MS-24 and MS-50. It looks like the MS-24 replaces the bolt release like the earlier version just with...

Walker

Very sad news indeed, always enjoyed his input and the conversations we had on my 1873 src.

Walker

Love that story and the way it's told!

Walker

It's a local favorite here in San Diego. If you're not careful though you can easily drink more than you should, it's that good.

Walker

That's a nice memory Jim!

Walker

What are your thoughts on the usefulness of that Freund rear sight Shrapnel?

Walker

Thanks Doc, I'll dig those up.

Walker

Hey Guys, can you point me to anything that would explain how fast a 450gr barnes original or similar bullet could expect to be driven in a barrel with 1 in 36" twist? I know that Winchester originally started with a 1 in 48" twist for the 50-100-450 and later changed it but I'd like to un...

Walker

I'd like to be around when both of those take meat. Beautiful!
