I read that the older HP's had forged frames, which was claimed to somehow contribute to the warping issue. Newer ones have cast frames, and apparently no warping problems. Terry's explanation makes more sense though. My HP is a Mark III, 9mm FN model, with the SFS (Safety Fast Shooting) kit http://...

Jim,

So very sorry to hear.

Very sorry for your loss.

Losing a pup can be very hard; I cry my eyes out every time.
I get too attached.

But a truth that I've come to know is that a new pup can take most of the suffering away.
Any shelters near you?

Best of luck.

I didn't know they made the Super Blackhawk in .41 mag. :?: I wasn't thrilled with how the standard grips on my BH and SBH treated my hands (or my aim) either, so I did this: http://single-actions.phpbb3now.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1123&st=0&sk=t&sd=a Much more comfortable and control...

My Remington 870 has never failed me, despite being used as a wading pole, boat paddle and brush parting tool (always when empty). I have killed many ducks and pheasant with it, and wouldn't think of parting with it. However, I'd like to add another 12ga pump to my cabinet, and have found a nice Win...

What steps are involved in installing a new barrel on a Winchester 94? What needs to be done to put an AE barrel on a non-AE reciever, and vice versa?

homefront

We really need the .25-20 back, but and even BETTER option for us hand loaders is the Wincester .256 Magnum http://www.reloadbench.com/cartridges/256w.html . .357 mag brass is plentiful, cheap, and this can be loaded as a plinker or something pretty hot. The Marlin 1894 is a perfect platform for thi...

I originally looked at RCBS molds, but have heard that they've been having quality issues - such as bullets dropping undersized.
So for the velocity I'm looking for, a GC is mandatory?

homefront

Saeco lists a mold for this bullet. 150 to 180 grains seems to be preferred weight range for many, so before I order I thought I'd ask for input. I'd be casting wheel weights for my model 94 Winchesters, probably looking for 1,600-1,800 fps. Does anyone have experience with this weight in the .30-30?

homefront

Thanks much, Steve.

Selection & pricing mean nothing if they don't have any stock...

If it's true, you're correct.
What sources do you recommend?

I'm glad you mentioned it. I heard he was backed up about 4-6 weeks.
Still, I haven't found his selection or pricing elsewhere.

Am I strange because I didn't question the rabbit?

My 1894FG has a fat forend, and while well made and functionally fine, it just doesn't feel as good as the slimmer Winchester '94. I'm going to pare mine down with a belt sander until it looks and feels the same.

That's not a bad price at all - depends on what you want.
If it's the rifle itself you want, go for it. If it's the cartridge you're interested in, I'd find a cheap .30-30 and have it re-bored.

I didn't think PA issued Concealed Carry Permits. It doesn't. The state issues a L icense T o C arry F irearms, and as currently defined by state law gives much more flexibility in carry options than most people, especially leo's, are aware of.

Most of my family does not get this.

I spent many years working in NYC, and saw some terrible things happen to people right out in public. Our kin live in a protected cocoon, and "stuff" only happens on TV, to someone else. Many of my friends, who are grown men, are just as blind.

Scott, I'm sorry, I don't really mean to knock LEO's. As in any profession there are good, bad and indifferent, and my comment should not be taken out of context.

Be very, very careful.
Ownership and shooting of the .30-30 in a levergun can lead to other addictions, such as handloading, bullet casting, and pretending to be Chuck Connors.
