Quite fantastic! THANK YOU for posting these!

Ted, Some things to consider: (caveat: I am a realtor) 1. Realtor's commissions are ALWAYS negotiable 2. Maybe a realtor can sell your home for 6% more than you are asking because he/she will multi-list/realtor.com/zillow/trulia your property thus exposing it to many more people than an owner can on...

Bearhands

Thanks gents, for the nice comments. It hasn't always been my luck to find something that is 90% of what I was looking for and priced SO right that there just wasn't a second thought.(Local gun shop taboot!) Took it to the range yesterday with some of my reloads and was even more pleased with the re...

Bearhands

None will recall, but in `08 I was flipping around the idea of retiring my `48 Model 94. I never did, I gave it to my oldest son for Christmas a few years later. (long story short), I missed it and knew I had to have another 30wcf rifle. After a few years of searching for the right one for me, (I wa...

Bearhands

Thanks M. M., I kinda figured that'd be a bad move so no cleaning has been done nor shall it be.

Bearhands

All we know is that it was shipped from Calif. to Pa. in the 70's, wrapped in newspaper and stored along with several other interesting guns since that time.

Bearhands

We're hoping to get some info from the Cody Museum.

Bearhands

I'm assuming it's 44-40?

Bearhands

I'm going to give this pic thing a try.... btw, it is an octagon barrel (20") has the dust cover, no saddle ring.

Bearhands

What do I have to know in order to value this gun? I Believe this to be in very good original condition. 44 Cal s/r 2145__B "King's Improvement patented March 29, 1866 Oct. 16, 1850
Thanks for any help.

Bearhands

Would love to have it! Count me in too.

Bearhands

I have to agree with Octagon... While I do not post very often, I DO read this forum almost every day. The reason I do is because of every post prior to this one. This forum, ABOVE ALL OTHERS (and I monitor a bunch of them) is a classy place with REAL gentlemen and a wealth of knowledge to go with t...

I think my list of "have reads" is up to about 50...... my favorites being Sitka and The Haunted Mesa.... they're all great fun to read and they'll take you wherever the plot goes...... Recently, I discovered Robert B. Parkers series about Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch.. these are simply F...

Happy New Year too!

Bearhands

Gentlemen, thanks much for the quick replies! I kinda knew that asking the questions here @ Leverguns, would get me some straight answers from knowledgeable folks........ I'll be heading to the LGS in the mornin'. Will update!...... Old Savage..... I saw Ellen a month or so ago, she's a really nice ...

Bearhands

I've seen one @ my LGS.... the barrel is only marked 336 in the usual spot.... the lever is "square" (rectangular) with a straight stock. Does the lever and stock make it a Texan or does it have to be marked "T" or some other letter? It's got low weaver rings and some kind of Sim...

Bearhands

Prayers up n' down the street for O.S. ...and a quick recovery.

Bearhands

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm........ we should talk Old Ironsides.

Bearhands

What a wonderful Christmas greeting! ...... Thanks! I hope your New Year is as good as it gets!.... (mine too!)

Bearhands

loved it......

I'll practice with a thicker bandaid, and when it's time to use it for it's intended purpose, I'll not be worrying about a little finger pinch. :wink: That little 90gr fmj American Eagle round put a big hole in the back of a three inch thick slice of tree trunk. It'll do for an undetectable carry p...

Stuart Little is a good story for young ones.

Bearhands

Well.... a bit of disappointment and some joy...... The firing pin seems to be striking too softly :cry: I had to fire each round at least twice...... the third round..... I gave up after 4 tries. I guess I'll have to take it to someone who's a bit familiar w/ the set up. The good news is... the two...

Bearhands

Gentlemen,

Thanks for the good words and commentary!...... I'm off to the range to see what I can do with it...... report to follow!

Bearhands

Hey thanks Mescalero! I'll certainly remember that!

I'm a happy guy!..... I received a Pre-WWII Savage mod 219 w/a matching mod 220 12 ga barrel :D for Christmas! I've been jones'n for this puppy for a long time. I'm hoping to hear from anyone else who has one. I'd like to use "pointy bullets" in it but not an overly hot round as I don't wa...

it's a fantastic movie..... don't miss it

"Open Range" is another one not to miss....... any Robert Duvall western is worth watchin'

That DOG is just TOO COOL!........ love the expression on his/her face!

Gee, I think I have to add Julius Erving....... at least as 6th man.

Bearhands

Your presence will continue to help make this forum, "a good place to land" Thanks.

Bearhands

They are both great cartridges. If you handload the 06 will give you the edge in velocity and heavy bullets. If you don't reload then the 308 right now has a better selection of "match" ammo available these days. So you need to figure out if you want a long action cartridge that's won 2 w...

Ysabel Kid,
This thing is "like new" and came with an orig J.C. Higgins 4x scope (fine crosshairs, sidemount) made by Weaver in El Paso.. even the scope is dead on. all for $75 bucks..

Bearhands

Well, I just got a dandy J.C.Higgins 103.18 aka Marlin 100 .. it's a VERY accurate lil 22. I'd like to lighten up the trigger a bit but I don't want to screw things up. I've honed the sear just a tad because of a burr or two. I'd like to do a bit more to make it a little lighter on the pull but I'm ...

Bearhands

Does anyone collect/own a few Marlin 22's OTHER than the 39's?.... Just wondering about a little tweaking that I'd like to do to a Marlin 100.

Bearhands

Being a born and bred Pennsylvanian aka "gun clinger"..... I've traveled the US also (most of the states) and I've noticed that the rural midwest has the most relaxed group, the Rocky Mt types are really nice, the far west don't seem to care about much but they're really helpful! By far th...

Bearhands

Actually the older RC 30-30 w/ the Ballard rifling turns me on. It's just your basic rifle that hasn't been messed with at all.. Still has the original sights and just feels "nice" at the shoulder. I am trying to trim down on my "collection"of calibers and stick with one reloadin...

Bearhands

Update:... the one I THOUGHT was an SC was in fact an RC... 30-30 born in 1952 ... I still may go back for it, but I really wanted a 30-30 in an SC. btw, the price was $295.00. There was an SC there in 32spl from 1958 w/ a tag of $349.00

Bearhands

I am wondering if the SC model had ballard or micro-groove rifling? I've been looking at one for some time now @ a local shop.... Can anyone expound a bit on this model? Value of one that has seen some wear but cycles smooth as silk and looks to be all original.
Thanks
BH

Bearhands

Sounds an awful lot like a Romanian Trainer Model 1969..... Are you sure it's stamped "U"SMC? and not IMC?..... is there also a "hole" in the stock butt w/ a spring hinged "trapdoor"? Look underneath the barrel near the front sight for some words.

Bearhands

Had a similar experience here in PA this weekend..... town of 700 has a gun show (2X/year)...... this year the first day they had 1400 attend.... busted all the previous years' total by A LOT. All the vendors were running out of inventory and lots of people were carrying guns they bought... It was j...

Gentlemen... THANKS VERY MUCH for your valued input and suggestions, I really do appreciate reading the comments on this forum. My gut tells me that I am indeed "nuts" to think of saying goodbye to my lil Speed 6, after all, I am a "gun-clinging" Pennsylvanian. I'll be squirrelin...

I have a really neat (beautiful condition) blued 2.75" Speed Six that I lusted after for some time.... It shoots great.... BUT.... I have this HUGE hankerin for a Blackhawk .357 4 5/8" Flattop. I'd need to trade/sell the Speed 6 to get it.. What are your thoughts? I don't need a carry gun(...

Bearhands

Welcome and enjoy the wisdom and comraderie.... the term "friendly fire" has more than one meaning here. It's a great place to relax and read annecdotes, gather information and learn lots of great stuff!

Bearhands

Probably no suprise to you avid readers.. but "The Sixth Shotgun/The Rider of the Ruby Hills" by L. L'Amour is a great read! Great characters, truly "visable" settings and a plot as thick as it gets. I just thought I'd suggest it to those who haven't gotten into Mr. L'Amours grea...
