I don't have a picture of my reloading bench,but, it looks pretty disorganized (I can always find what I'm looking for). As far as records ,I keep a seperate file on every pistol/rifle which includes targets with reloading data noted on them.The data includes distance/date/bullet/powder/primer/fps a...

I just bought a new CZ with 24in barrel and sold my Ruger 77/22H to my brother-in-law.I got the Ruger used and it took me awhile to find a load it liked (13.0gr Lil Gun and 45/50gr Hornady Hornet bullet. It will shoot a 3/8in,5/8in or 1/2in three round group at 100yds. Then it will shoot a 1 1/4in o...

Nice setup. I especially like the Dewalt planer in the bottom of the cabinet. Do you use it to trim cases? ....Just Kidding. Woodworking is my "other" hobby.

Neil

neil mitchell

Thanks everyone for the info. The serial number is on the lower tang and on the side of the upper tang. The rounded lever is what made me think it was modified. I shot it yesterday and it shoots good.I also did some cold blueing and a little stock work on it. It's looking better! Neil [img][img]http...

neil mitchell

Thanks Joe ,I plan on shooting it today and will report back.
Neil

neil mitchell

Just picked this up this A.M. and if someone straightened the lever and lower tang they did a good job.Stock fits perfect also.It's a 1952 model.
So, is this factory or did Bubba do it?

Welcome to the forum Junior.
I have a Ruger 77/.22 Hornet that I shoot 50 gr Hornadys out of and they are very accurate.I killed a whitetail doe last hunting season with it. I love the Hornet round.

Neil

neil mitchell

I don't know how the trigger compares to a Kel-Tec because it's been about 2 years since I pulled the trigger on one. The pull seems looong to me but that's because I'm not used to the double action.

Neil

neil mitchell

Got in yesterday here in Lufkin $289 . It has a very smooth double action trigger pull.I haven't measured the pull yet but not too bad. Accuracy is acceptable but of course it is not a target pistol. It will do nicely for concealed carry . Neil [img][img]http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c197/neilmi...

I want to thank Ricky for inviting me and for being an excellent host!

The VA clinic here in Lufkin and the VA hospital in Houston are excellent.Doctors,nurses etc all very friendly,helpful and caring.Only been going 3+ years now but should have gone years ago.

I have had a permit to carry since Texas first allowed it.In addition to the peace of mind a permit ,in Texas, allows me to buy a handgun anywhere without any red tape/waiting period. I have also heard from others and some LEO's that it helps if you are stopped by the law because they know you are a...

neil mitchell

Thanks everybody for the replies. Hobie, I think I'll go with #2 since I am not and never will be a "collecter". I'm going to shoot the stuff out of it and IF it malfunctions I'll sell it. I want to keep it and let my 2 sons fight over it when I'm gone. :lol: I've wanted a Colt .45 ACP eve...

neil mitchell

I tried Monarch and Winchester 230gr. The Winchester shot a little lower. Not a lot of variety to choose from in Lufkin,Tx.
I first thought of filing down the rear sight but with the polished nickel finish I was afraid it would start flaking off.

Neil

I bought this gun from a lady I know and her asking price was $300.Too good a deal to pass up! Someone gave it to her for a $60 debt so I don't feel like I took advantage of her ! I bought it as a shooter and it has been fired before.Seems very well made and functions flawlessly.It IS made by Colt.I...

I have a ProChrono also and love it. Works in sunlight,misting rain,and dappled shade.Does everything you could ask for.Paid $99 for it at Midway USA.

Ricky, sorry I'm so late answering your question

but no I had no relatives in the Navy.

10:00 starting time sounds fine to me.

Neil

neil mitchell

Thanks Ricky, I will sure try to make it.

Neil

neil mitchell

I'd love to come ,but, Texas is a pretty big state, could you narrow your location down a little bit?

Neil

neil mitchell

Geoff, SC stands for "sporting carbine". It has a 2/3 magazine and forend cap ,no barrel bands.

Neil

neil mitchell

I would mark a cut line in pencil ,then score the line with a marking knife/box cutter/single edge razor blade etc. This will keep the wood from splintering. Then cut with fine tooth handsaw (preferably crosscut saw) on the waste side of the line .Then use a file/rasp/sander to smooth out the cut up...

Was browsing the local pawnshops last Sat and found this 1968 336RC in .35Rem after buying a 1953 336SC .35 last Monday .Did a little cleanup on it and it looks like this.

Good luck with that ! You'll need it .

Neil

Thanks everyone ! You gave me plenty of options. I really appreciate the help.
And 1886 you're welcome ,it was my pleasure !

Neil

neil mitchell

Come on guys ,doesn't someone know a website or somewhere to buy old parts ?

Neil

neil mitchell

Parts for older 336's. Made 1980 and 1953 hammers,triggers etc.

Thanks,

BTT for the night crowd.

Neil

Amen to that!

Thanks deerwhacker, that will help.

Neil

neil mitchell

Does anyone have a picture off WWG trigger (preferably next to Marlin) so I can see the difference? I think I can stone a stock trigger/sear to improve pull weight but would like to see a picture of the WWG trigger.
Thanks

Neil

neil mitchell

Use epoxy with some walnut sawdust mixed in. This will be alot stronger than wood filler.

Neil

neil mitchell

I wouldn't fire somebody else's reloads in any gun of mine even if Jesus Christ reloaded it.

Neil

neil mitchell

Thank You !

Neil

Outstanding job Mojo!!
It's a good feeling to bring one back after it's been neglected.

Neil

Thanks everyone for the compliments.
Jerry I intend on doing my best to bag a deer this coming season.

Finally ! I found this gun at a pawnshop I called and the guy said the stock had been "carved on".That was an understatement ! I got it for $185 which I thought was pretty good. Here's the before pictures. [img http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c197/neilmitchell/000_0973.jpg ][/im http://i...

The price for this gun is very good for East Texas. Most Marlins I see are over $300. I looked at the ONLY .35 336 I have found in a year of looking in gunshops and it was a CS model the pawn shop was asking $369 for . And it didn't last long. I have never even seen a 336SC for sale at any gunshop/p...

Been looking for an SC in .35 and found one at a pawn shop today in 30-30. Ser.#E387XX. Has the dark walnut stock in pretty good shape ,receiver has not been D&T'd . Didn't have a light with me so couldn't ck out bore. What I didn't like was the barrel and receiver have been "Parkerized&quo...

1886 when I said the brass would not chamber I meant BEFORE resizing. I am suprised and pleased that "neck sized only" cases chamber easily in both rifles.
