I’ve handled an Ithaca 49 lever single shot. I thought it was pretty junky and poorly made. This particular gun was priced at ~$80 and didn’t ever move.

I own an Ithaca 72 “Saddlegun” and it is very nicely made in West Germany.

I never worried about whether or not a powder is “dirty” so long as it works the way I want. I recently stumbled onto a Desert Eagle in .357mag for too good of price to pass up. Since the DE is a gas operated and has no practical means available to clean the gas port, you need to use a powder that w...

I load the OT “laser cast” almost exclusively and have never had a problem with lead in all but one of my guns. That rifle also fouls copper and the bore is rough straight from the factory. I got it (Win-94) at Big 5 for $299 and they have a lock cable the went through it so I couldn’t notice the cr...

Isn't that what they call "making a lasting impression"?

If you buy one be sure to get Ruger's return address. Odds are you will need it. :lol: :lol: :lol: I hate to admit this - but the last 3 Ruger pistols I bought all had to go back to the factory.

Bigfoot real? You're kidding right? He lives in Modesto last time I checked.

I've always had good luck with CDNN. The last gun I bought, a Winchester "Miroku" short-rifle in .44 magnum was flawless and beautiful. I just bought a bunch of Desert Eagle mags and they were all new in factory packaging. However, I did order a compact flashlight that was advertised to ta...

I'm sorry to hear this Joe, you've lost too many little buddies within such a short time. It's never easy, but things have not gone your way too much it seems. Hopefully your luck will turn for the better - you've got my prayers for that.

I got lucky and found an older Rossi 92 SRC in .357 (with no safety) that is in like-new condition for only $250 – so I bagged it. It fed .357 fine but .38’s (which I mostly shoot) required a rather deliberate cycling of the action to feed properly. I tore it apart and did all of the tricks in the “...

Kick that cancer in the azz!!! There's been enough bad news already and the last thing we need is to lose another levergunner - deny "ugly c" another win, we are praying for you.

Where do you get these O-rings? Are they a regular hardware store item? Joe Thanks Joe, the O-rings are part of a set I picked up at Harbor Freight tools. They run this kit in their "specials flyer" for a deep discount fairly often. http://www.harborfreight.com/382-piece-o-ring-assortment...

Being a major firearms hobbyist, I also derive a great deal of enjoyment from collecting and working on other “practical and highly useful devices”. Lanterns fall into that category and I like the old-style Dietz Blizzard lanterns but also “have a thing” for single-mantle lanterns. Single mantle lan...

Nice setup. I had to remove my scope and use a peep sight, because it migrated rearward with heavy loads. What's your solution? I used a LaRue tactical QD scope mount on my 1895 SBL. The mount is aluminum but has steel inserts that the screws thread into - so you can properly tighten the scope in t...

I finally stumbled onto a Winchester 1897 (made in 1916) that was in terrific condition. Out of the 5 shotguns that I own, the 1897 is far and away my very favorite.

I want a Win 94 with a 26" octagon barrel Joe, if you're OK with owning a "Japchester" then keep watch on CDNN's catalog. Their prices are usually well over $100 cheaper than any other seller. The Miroku's I've looked at (while not inexpensive) have all been very well made and nicely...

Col. Whelen fired ten, ten shots groups to determine accuracy. That's 100 shots! He cleaned the bore thoroughly after each ten shot group. In contrast, prostitute writers fire several groups but only report the best one. That right there is exactly the problem.. I'm letting my Shotgun News subscrip...

I think the best thing to do with spammers is to ignore them. Thank God that Hobie and our other hardworking admins don't do that - else fewer than 1% of the posts here would be about leverguns... If someone slaps you in the face (is an aggressor), slapping them back would make that person a "...

I tend to prefer forums that more realistically match my personal interests. Leverguns are only one of the types of guns that I enjoy and I’d sure hate to be locked into being “only” a Marlin fan (or any one brand for that matter). Any forum that starts to get too “full of itself” generally has mode...

Glad your sight came out without to much effort. Are you kidding? Mine was a nightmare coming out... I ruined a good-sized brass punch that thing was so danged tight. I wound up having to use a steel punch and a piece of a penny that I cut into 4 chunks to transmit enough "whap" to dislod...

I want to put a Lyman 17A on this rifle but it needs to be fitted so I'm saving that for tomorrow. When I mounted the Lyman 17A globe on my Winchester 94, I had to take a thin “slice” off the front of the sight so it would clear the barrel band… Yours might need the same. http://i311.photobucket.co...

My Marlin 1895 SBL sort of qualifies for a “combat lever gun”. It’s got the 1913 rail and XS ghost sights that are easy to pick up fast. The sling is adjusted for carry and as a shooting aid. The sight is a Vortex “strikefire” in a LaRue QD (RAS II) mount and comes with a screw-on “doubler” lens. It...

I like the outer layer of the military ECWCS gear. The parka and pants are Goretex and not heavy without the other layers underneath. The sell for ~$50 in the surplus stores around here - which is about half the price of anything that's new made of Goretex.

Do you have to use the Coleman brand white gas in these devices? Standard Colemans require white gas but the newer versions (that have a gray hammertone) tank are rated for pump gas as well.

Wow! That's a real beauty of an old Coleman you have there. All most of them need is a simple tune-up and new mantle to run right.

Slick

If you’re hesitant about making any permanent changes to the gun’s original wood, look for aftermarket or replacement furniture that has the features you want, or at least you wouldn’t feel reluctant to modify.

Somewhere along the line I went nuts for the Colman 200A line. I like the red color and single-mantle design. I think they put out the most useable light for the amount of fuel they use.

I keep most of my collectable folding knives inside a .50-cal ammo can. I keep that ammo can against the back of my vault with a piece of carpet velcro'ed to the its top. Then I use the ammo can as a platform to set my extra-short rifles on.

I like the Bisley grip, so I have the Super Blackhawk Bisley Hunter and chose it specifically because I want the scope mounts to attach to the barrel to keep the scope up forward and out of the way of the hammer to make thumb-cocking it easier.
