very nice! now take it for some exercise!

buckeyeshooter

wonderful! great gun, great round.

buckeyeshooter

No 327 but I have 27's in 3.5,5, 6 and 6.5 inch barrel lengths. Shoot great!

buckeyeshooter

If you want a marlin in 50 caliber, the 50 alaskan will work as long as you handload it sanely.
500 sw .500 diameter
.510 ak .510 diameter .348 winchester opened up to .510

I shoot 535 grain woodleighs or 500 grain cast in mine. Rolls bears like groundhogs!

buckeyeshooter

no question, 44-40

buckeyeshooter

I’ve had several of both and liked them both . However my application with a 300 Win Mag or the 300 Weatherby was with 150’s or 165’s , I liked 165’s the best in both 300’s . My application with the 338 usually started at 200 grains up to 225 grains all being polymer tipped bullets with the excepti...

Another vote for unique.

I would drop the BLR from the list, it's not a traditionally engineered lever action and add the Winchester 1895 instead, which was an engineering marvel when introduced,

buckeyeshooter

Yea, but he is not talking changing to a 45/70. He has a 450 alaskan that is based on a 348 case not the 45/70 case that has a smaller rim and a different body diameter. My best advice would be to have a professional gunsmith who does these conversions troubleshoot it. It is possible to fix it yours...

buckeyeshooter

Assuming the loads are heavy enough to cyclevthe action, it ought to work great. It is recoil operated instead of gas operatedcso, my thinking more dependable than gas operated designs because no port to foul.

buckeyeshooter

No, not crazy but a way to practically defeat your concealed carry option. Next will be a law you must have liability insurance and with none available, yoù have been disarmed even if you have a permit.

buckeyeshooter

I think I might start with a letter to corporate headquarters. Certainly, with the number of NRA members they would not want the NRA members to boycott them.

My one experience was going in for shotshells on sale at a low price. I bought several boxes and did not find out until later that the boxes they sold contained only 20 instead of 25 shotshells. As far as I am concerned, the name suits them.

buckeyeshooter

In my black powder shotshells, I have used a cotton ball or piece of a cotton ball to adjust the height of the powder column and also in the shot cup to reduce the shot charge. Basically, I make a 3 1/2 inch 10 gauge into a 2 3/4 12 gauge load using black and 1 ounce of shot. Cas black powder class.

buckeyeshooter

Dang, I cant imagine cutting down a 24 inch barrel and rasping off the monte carlo. I have been looking for that configuration for years... they dont show up often.

buckeyeshooter

That last bit, makes me like him a bit more. Rest in Peace R. Lee.

buckeyeshooter

Those 2 are like .38 S&W compared to .38 Special and your .500 is a .38 +p compared to the 50 Alaskan and modern 50-110 which is a .357 mag.

buckeyeshooter

I have been using 35 grains of goex xx. 40 grains is not as accurate in my guns.

buckeyeshooter

Sounds like you got a nice one.

buckeyeshooter

Call me traditional but I still use Elmer Keiths load of 22 grains of 2400 and a 240 grain bullet.

buckeyeshooter

Don't forget to look at a Turnbull 1886. The price differental is worth the upgrade in quality. You dont have to get 45/70. You can go 45/90, 50/110 or 470 Turnbull too.

buckeyeshooter

Never have had a 63, but do have an 18-2 with 3T's bought new in the 80's. A great shooter and easy to carry.

buckeyeshooter

No clue from me, but I do know I have been using mine several days a week for over 10 years and it still looks great and shows no wear other than where the buckle. Touches the leather around the belt hole.

buckeyeshooter

Check Buffalo Arms in Montana. I have been using a canvas belt for years from them. Mine is10ga.shotshells, but they have a Mills Belt also.

buckeyeshooter

"And, no it has no real practical application, but I couldn't care less. It's fun!" I have one in 44M and the only "practical application" I see requires a $200 tax stamp (i.e., a stock) My thought exactly. It would make a nice trapper, but you would havevto get a stamp and put on a full sized stock.

I just threw. Up into my mouth. Just because you can, does not mean you should do something.
Guess ya don't like it, huh?

Thats the understatement of the day.
Just nasty!

Ya cain't please all the people all the time... shoulda stuck with the 1911!!

Agreed. They use them in several wars rebuild them and they keep going. I would stick with the proven platform.

buckeyeshooter

Stay with the 265 rn, it is.a beter performiñg bullet anyway. The only thing the gummie grenade offers is a flatter traqectory. The blow up too easy for my taste.

buckeyeshooter

Sounds like a marl7n in 35 remington might work. CDNN did have some 1886 trappers in 45/70. The short barrel and 1/2 magazine would make then lighter. If you dont mind spending money, but a turnbull marlin in 475 turnbull. Doug has killed elephants with that cartridge.

buckeyeshooter

Unfortunately, you will be required to unfreeze Hell because many environmental groups will be complaining that your ardouious carnal activities are causing 'Global Warming' and even though common logic states heat will melt ice, Al Gore told them 'it just ain't so'.

buckeyeshooter

I would keep the marlin 444. Especially if it has the stock with the high cheekpiece.

buckeyeshooter

I have both a japanese 30-40 and 30-06. Mine take 4 in the mag. But you can put anothervround invthe chamber for a total of 5. Ought ti be enough for mostvwork.

My 1894 marlin is 1984 year of manufacture. It feeds specials and magnums fine at normal levering speeds. I do use this rifle for cowboy action shooting. When I abuse it cowboy shooting, I only use 44 magnum cases. At warp speed, the specials do jam on occassion if they are not round nose or round n...

I have one with a 24xx serial number. Bought new by my grandfather, my father, brother, sister and myself learned to shoot with it. Still take it out from time to time. Still works great.

buckeyeshooter

In my case, I sent my rebounders to Turnbull and had the rebounder removed, the tang safety deleted and got a nice case color finish done. Not inexpensive, but you only live 1 time.

buckeyeshooter

I didn't choose the 500 when I went the custom route. I went with the 510 diameter and 50 alaskan in the marlin and 50-110 in an 1886 winchester. I guess I am a tradionalist and old school. I can tell you that the 50 caliber works well on game. I can tell an advantage over the 45/70.

buckeyeshooter

I have no idea why anyone who might have the rare remote possibility of getting attacked by a bear would chance their survival with a can of spray. I hear people say, "I'll just play dead" or "I'll climb a tree". Carry a heavy calibered gun and shoot the s-o-b. Worry about the law later. -----6 Wha...

buckeyeshooter

It would be pretty hard to argue against the 30-30 if legal. The morons running the lawoffice in Ohio allow me to use my 50 alaskan and 50-110 winchester deer hunting but the 30-30 and 35 remington are illegal.

buckeyeshooter

Nothing wrong with this load or shooting. I would be pleased.

buckeyeshooter

I still stay with a revolver myself. If that is what you have been using, why reinvent the wheel?

buckeyeshooter

I have wanted a 22 hornet version for years. Probably need to bite the bullet and buy it now.

buckeyeshooter

As far as performance, my bet is you could exceed or equal it with the Barnes 150 grain x flat nose or for fun a 200 grain round nose for the 308 or 3006. Probably no expansion, but beaucoup penetration.

buckeyeshooter

Living overseas and needing to travel in the worlds worst traffic. I am riding a Honda Spacy.115cc motor, but it gets 118 mpg.

buckeyeshooter

I'll bite. It's not a Winchester or a Marlin. It's not made in America. It has an impossible to remove high gloss finish on the stocks. It is not user serviceable. It's not a Winchester or Marlin. The first generation magazines are $200+ and the current ones cost 35 bucks. I like mine. You forgot i...

buckeyeshooter

Feel pretty sorry for you if this is the case.

buckeyeshooter

How many magazines do you need to run through your gun to feel comfortable using that gun in that round to save your life? Does that need to be refreshed on any regular basis? Personally, I need to run a couple of mags of my carry ammo through my gun every month to feel comfortable. I practice with...

buckeyeshooter

It is a 250 yard gun without a doubt. I am positive with better shooters than me, you could go 350.
