Nice looking one. Congrats. Everyone needs at least one.

Oldncrusty

Yep, me too. Smith K frames in 32-20, Cim. Model Ps in 32-20, 38-40. Sav. 23 in 25-20. Win 73/38-40, 92/32-20. Marlin 1881 45-70. Itching for a Rem. pump in .38 or .44.

Oldncrusty

Yes it is possible. I don't recall for sure how long. IIRC, the first two years of the XTR were not checkered. Congrats! I prefer the uncheckered ones myself.

Oldncrusty

Big-time thanks! One of my weaknesses is exploring backwoods graveyards. It is amazing how much one can learn just from reading headstones. Here's a few forgotten vets I have ran across.

Oldncrusty

Thanks for more health links. They're on my to do list.

He is my go to Youtube doc along with a few others. It sucks being treated like a mushroom at the local VA.

Oldncrusty

Fabulous info Doc. Glad to see this many topics in one place. Not sure how I missed it first time around. Mucho thanks

Bless you for getting this done. All of mine shoot 3-4 high at 25. Is he going to stock these, or is it strictly a special order thing?

Oldncrusty

I too believe that that site is how I found the forum. Thought I was in heaven. Read everything of interest at that time and then father time made me forget about it for years. I want to go back now and start over since my interests have expanded.

Oldncrusty

Awesome pic! My Dad's dad died when I was 10, so I didn't know him too well. He did let me ride around on his horse drawn wagon. Here's one of him and his team circa late 50s. Just a plain farmer who moonlighted as fiddle player for the weekend dances at the county seat.

Oldncrusty

Lucky you on all fronts. Wish I could find a scope w post.. I been eyeballin a 99/ .300 for a while. If it hadnt gotten into the ugly wood line, it would already be here.

Oldncrusty

SAAAALUTE!!

Oldncrusty

These are wonderful shooting guns when they have a good bore, and surprisingly most I've owned did have great bores. That's a really nice example Oldncrusty! Thanks for the additional info. The ammo is so rare and expensive, she was relegated to the safe. I have 2 + boxes of short Colt and 2/3 or s...

Oldncrusty

Theres a model i'd love to see revised. Wasnt there a 32 long rifle option as well? How did it shoot? Yes, and .32 extra long RF, which may have been the same round.If I recall correctly, it was able to fire .32 short, long, and long rifle RF, and .32 Short and Long Colt for CF. Shot pretty good fo...

Oldncrusty

I was digging around in my old PC and found some pics I had "lost". Test firing my .32 cal. Model 1891 with 32 rimfire. Mfg in 1892. I later switched to a center-fire pin and tried her out with .32 Short Colt.

Oldncrusty

When it rains it pours

. Congrats. High walls have always been my favorite to look at.

Oldncrusty

Ooooooh. Aaaaa.

Oldncrusty

With the steel forearm tip that's a pre bankruptcy No. 2 made prior to 1887. It should have the "E. Remington & Sons" rollstamp on the barrel. Post 1887 they dropped the steel tip and went to Remington Firearms Co. barrel stamp. Cool info. The rollmark is in the first pic. I read that...

Oldncrusty

What a beauty in a great cartridge. Congrats!

Oldncrusty

Thanks again. No more than I shoot, I think a good scrubbing will serve my purposes. It looks much better than the bore on my 73 Win which shoots fine. I looked it over again today before sticking in layaway and took a few more pics.

I had the same feeling, but for the third time recently. So I had to at least force myself to try and be responsible for a day or two.

Oldncrusty

Don't see the 1 1/2 very often, and when I do they're almost always a .32 Long RF or .38 Long RF. The CF do get premiums, but the .22's are not far behind. Thanks a bunch Val. I knew you would come through. I knew when I saw it it was going to end up coming home. I called this morning and had him p...

Oldncrusty

Found one in a pawn shop today in .22 cal. with a 3 digit ser no. Trying to figure out the going rate, but can't find any comps online (GB, and GI). Can I assume that a .22 would go for less than a CF? This appears to be a very old reblue, including the receiver. Bore aint too shabby but filthy. An ...

Oldncrusty

Wow! That's an awesome find. Hope to see it in action soon.

Oldncrusty

Welcome aboard and kudos on a very fine levergun. That is a great year for the post 64 guns.

Oldncrusty

Very nice indeedy. Need to get some 38-40 downrange soon.

Oldncrusty

Holy Moly! Any antique 94 is a grail gun to me. A 38-55 in that condition? My brain is numb. Big congrats.

Oldncrusty

Good lookin old gal. Always wanted to play with one of those. I sorta fell on the Win side of the fence with the 63, but like em all.

Oldncrusty

Welcome.

Oldncrusty

Heard a good sermon this morning dealing with these issues

Oldncrusty

Wow. Really cool. I see that he was born here in KY though.

Oldncrusty

Very interesting research. Thanks for turning on a light bulb.

Oldncrusty

Yep. Horrible stuff. Makes you want to tap your foot. Everyone knows that leads to dancing. Don't forget those square dances. The fiddle is the devil's instrument!

Oldncrusty

Cool stories guys. They say it's a small world.

Oldncrusty

Found this today and figgered Id pass it on.

Oldncrusty

Awesome. Love seeing antiques given a new lease on life. Currently waiting on my first year 92 to come out of the shop. My only 25-20 so far is a Savage 29b.

Oldncrusty

Rosewood has class. Looks great.

Oldncrusty

Been looking for an old Westerfield model 30 with birdog on side. For a while. Stars finally aligned . Store brand via Stevens 520 pre war takedown. Which is the most fascinating part of the gun. Should be here next week. I wish I had known you were looking for one. Mine just sold last week after b...

Oldncrusty

Blazing fast now. Hope it stays thataway. Thanks to all who are working on it.

I snagged an 1881 in 45-70 a few months ago and if I can remember back that far, it needs a new lifter spring. I took it to my smith and he can't find the part or parts needed. Wondering if anyone here has any secret connections in that department. I assume he has tried all the usual places. He used...

Oldncrusty

Good guns and good stories to boot. Proud to have ya. Welcome!

Oldncrusty

Lovin it. Thanks.
