First is a Win 73 ,Standard Arms, Then I am going to guess a 94 though could be a 92? no clue on the rabbit eared gun on the end. Nice full bodied deer too!!

Ya Steppenwolf was another thing we Canadians let you guys borrow!!

1500.00 is a fair price in my opinion.

I have a 7x30 Waters that was made in the 80`s It has a rebounding hammer. After close to 500 rounds all handloads, it started to misfire badly . I tried a new spring,factory loads,and and finally replaced the breech block with a homemade one. It was made to absolute minimun headspace. That solved m...

Well it's been rebarreled and new wood but the date is 1871 for this Sweed Roller.
I have the twin in the shop now giving it the same treatment It is dated 1873.
Other than these my 1892 --25-20 cal turns 100 years this year!!

[quote="marlinman93"] Will it be casehardened once polished? I am thinking to leave this one with a high polish and black trimmings(hammer trigger,block etc) I do have a line on a pottery kiln so maybe in the future I`ll try the case hardening myself. George at Treebone told me this wood i...

I purchased two complete rifles with the idea of rebuilding them into a 50-90 Sharps and the other a 38-55 Win. A pair of twins if you like. The rifles alone landed here for 1050.00 for the pair. The barrels were close to 600.00 and the wood ,and buttplates were 585.00 (George at Treebone sent some ...

Took some pics today of an Egyptian contract roller that I did the metal work on for a friend of mine. 34" Green Mountain barrel chambered in 50-90 Sharps. 1+1/4" full octagon. Lee Shaver economy soule rear sight and lyman front. Treebone wood and rear steel buttplate. Made new pivot pins ...

Here is a target to go with the rifle pic.
I think 458 win mags are generaly quite cast friendly

win92

I load a gas checked 500 gr Lee bullet in a custom Ruger Num 1 in 45-70
It shoots really well though recoil is stout. The barrel has a 16 twist so that should be getting close to what a Mod 70 458 will be

win92

AW yes French rifles never shot and dropped only once!

win92

yep thats the sight that guys look for when they pick up an old 32 spcl in this part of the country too!!! NICE FIND

win92

I just ordered one of these things and am curious to know if they are drilled and tapped for a reciever sight??
I can deal with the rebounding hammer and tang safety but my eyes won't handle a buckhorn anymore.
Thanks Win92

Mine is a 26 inch barreled winchester and slugs at .378, from what I`ve read there is a lot of variation with 38-55`s

win92

nothing but admiration for the guys who served I gotta think that the Pacific was an awful meat grinder though?

win92

well I have to admit that back in the late seventies I did exactly the same thing 10 or 15 times on a hunting trip . As I remember I started out with some shot loads (the ones Speer made in those days ) then progressed to some 240gr hot loaded Hornadys. I don`t recall that I had any problems at the ...

I have used it, it can get squirrely on you. I went H414 and never looked back. Some say that 760 and 414 are the same, they don't act the same in my rifles, and I have seen no data that would suggest them to be the same. Don go to the Hodgon web site and look up any cartridge that uses 414 or 760 ...

Haven't made a post in a while but thought some of you might like to know about these fast fire sights (Burris). The Dot is quite small and very bright great in both low light and very bright sunlight!! I was quite pleasently suprized. Covers about 2 inches at 100 yds.But as you can see by the attac...

MAybe if we get them together we can have little ones??
Nice find!! Congratulations.

tried lynx at a game dinner ONCE . (never again) had the texture of bubble gum. Didn't enjoy it at all. I'm not desperate enough to try coyote just yet.

The news media is really screwed up here from time to time (most of the time!!!) the wife and I were watching the news the night the young lad died on the Luge run and low and behold the A*&*holes actually run the footage of his death right before the world to see . Everything from his start dow...

I see you like Brownings EH? Personally I have never had a desire for the lever actions like those in your pics .( Too modern I guess) I recently read a book on Bullard and note that He too used a rack and pinion system in his lever guns of old. I love Browning equipment and have a fair bit of it Ri...

win92

I own one of the 71 Brownings The only safety feature departure from the originals that I can see is the inertia firing pin. I paid 1000.00 Can dollars for this thing used (though in excellant shape) I can't bring myself to the idea of rechambering it though and I would dearly love a 50 cal repeater...

Ya now the Europeans, Chinese, or other foreign manufacturer can step in and sell some real stuff!! To that African nation. Smells of some sort of entrapment to me. And besides I don't think this kind of behaviour is really anything new. It happens in a great many deals (called greasing the wheels) ...

Merry Christmas from Canada!! Hope the new year is good to all you guys as well.

I prefer the slightly longer barrel 22" But that being said I don't want to carry a 26" either.
There will be a tiny bit more muzzle blast with the 18" guide gun but this topic all boils to personal preferance!!

win92

I have a 1957 32 Win spl and it is 16 twist never heard of anything differant myself?? Mine shoots 170 Hornadys into 2.00 at 100yds if I hold well enough. Lyman 57 peep installed.

SLugged the bore again and can't report any noticable loose or tight spots. This rifle has 12 lands 12 groove fairly shallow style rifling. I will try to locate some heavier (300gr) cast bullets to try, maybe try and make something larger than .431?? I can make em hard . This gun is soooo nice to ca...

Ill push a slug through and post results

Did you swamp out all the jacketed bullet fouling before you tried you cast bullet loads..? YA i've tried that though personally I don't ever see a differance in my other rifles. but my buddy absolutley insists on never mixing cast and jacketed. Mike Venturino did an article a while back on this is...

Ya its a 44 Mag .429 slugged bore. Tried .429 dia tried .430 and .431 didn't go smaller. It will lead with a soft unchecked bullet. As they get harder no leading. Checked bullets won't lead any wich way I make them. I have a pretty good casting experiance under my belt at this time. I make all my ow...

win92

Well I'm about ready to give up!!. This thing shoots like a dream with jacketed stuff but more like a shotgun with cast bullets. I only bought it to shoot cast with and I just can't make it work. From what I understand they had at least 2 differant types of rifling in their makeup. A ballard style a...

I like the mechanics gloves sold in places like Home depot and auto supply stores .
You can find differant thickness with some type of faux leather fingers and palms.
They are very much like a batters or golf glove though cheaper I think.

Sorry the handle crept in there!!! 12 gauge on the shotgun the 92 could be anything you like,
Make mine the old 25-20 so i don't have to search out another!!!!!!

A shotgun can do it all. If all I could have was one gun then certainly that would be my choice. regards win92

When walking around the woods either early or late in the day I tend to need as much light on the front bead as I can get. So all my levers are without hoods. But at the range on stationary targets I prefer globe type sights as far as Irons go. So the Sharps and Highwall wear their hoods.

I do all my own work normally But my expertise is with bolt actions Single shot bench rest actually.

Ive got one going as well! Building it for a friend. I donated a wall hanger I had for 25 years. Egyptian .43 cal that was in pretty rough shape. Of course I get to do the metal work. So far I,ve lapped all the frame holes and breech block and hammer to the same size. Fit new pins. Bushed the breech...

Lapua Brass is with out a doubt the best you can purchase right now. The flash holes usally don't have a burr on them But most guys I know will slightly champher them inside anyway. It is tough brass very uniform and consistant from one piece to another. You shouldn't neck turn unless you have a tig...

Mine is indeed a BO prefix with the Ballard Style rifling .Shoots better than I hold it.

Looks like the brother to mine!! It wears a 1.5X-6X Leupold now. My sittin in the evening rifle.
The one that makes sure I won't have to search too far for anything I manage to hit

I use a Moultrie I-40 that is the one with the Infared flash. So its a little more discreet. Than a reg flash model. No deer pics to show but I used to have pics of the best fed Blue Jays in Ontario.

Those Canadian Centennials don't look to bad At least any of the ones I've seen up here. They typically go for close to 450.00-550.00 Canadian dollars. Some fired others as new. They do however have the stamped metal lifter inside if I remember correctly. Though one of the better shoting 94's I have...

Hi Nath. The Ithaca's are a serviceable shotgun bottom eject much similar to the Current Browning BPS. They are not as popular here in my neck of the woods as a Remington 870 which in my opinion is absolutley the best pump shotgun you can purchase. I believe some of them have an alloy reciever (Alum...

No one mentioned the 7X30 Waters unless I missed it??
Its pretty close to the top of my list!
only lever rifle I ever killed a whitetail with (2 of em)

I have a 99 in 250-3000 and without a doubt it is the most accurate lever gun I've ever shot.
It's an oldie from the 50's when I went looking for a Savage I knew that was the caliber I was looking for. Win 92
