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.

Oldncrusty

Besides all the ones I can't afford, I think my current fancy is for a prewar 94 SRC in 25-35. Havent had a SRC or a 25-35 yet so I could get two birds with one stone. I have a first year 92 in 32-20, and would love to score one in 38-40 as a playmate for my '73 in same cal. And I still drool anytim...

Oldncrusty

Now THAT is going out in style. Thanks for the share.

Oldncrusty

WooHooo!

Oldncrusty

Wishing now I hadn't passed up that stainless .480 for $550 a few years ago.

Oldncrusty

I like it, I like it! Thanks for sharing.

Oldncrusty · Re: Ruger Buckeye 32-20/32 H&R Mag, convertible (Mfg. 1988) Lucky you!

Lucky you!

Oldncrusty

Been there twice while TDY to Holloman. Was a really neat place. But that was in the late 80's.

Oldncrusty

Yes. All the above. Still acting up

Oldncrusty

Wow. Wish I was a little closer. Happy tradin.

Oldncrusty

The perfect .44

Oldncrusty

That’s a great looking revolver. I have so many PPSs that I have a hard time picking which one to take along and usually ends up being at least two. Now I have another custom just getting started. Have fun with the new shooter! jb 8) Thanks, I shall. I'm not sure this one will make it to my favorit...

Oldncrusty

I put in a request a while back at my lgs for a John Taffin PPP. I was nervous after reading all the horror stories about the grip frame fitment troubles but am glad I didn't chicken out. Thought I'd put up some pics in case anyone else is on the fence.

Oldncrusty

Looks like an awesome place. Thanks for sharing.

Oldncrusty

What a great thread. Thanks to all for the great info. Just picked up a 65 model that looks great, but is " loose as a goose" operation wise. Thinkin about trappering it if I can get the action improved.

Oldncrusty

Thanks again for the tip. Love leather, but can't afford it for all of them.

All those old 1881's had really nice trigger pulls, and the .45-70 caliber 1881's usually had a very short front silver blade sight.

That sure describes mine. That's good to know. Maybe I won't have to replace the front after all. The the ammo I ordered should be here tomorrow.

Oldncrusty

Thanks for the link. I hadn't seen her yet. I have a few Youtube docs I watch. Sure can't pay any attention to my VA pusher.

Oldncrusty

Are you sending from a phone or PC? I upload mine straight from my phone. I might be able to show you how. I ain't no tech whiz though.

Oldncrusty

Glad you got it up and running again. Some pics would be really nice.

Thanks Bill. I'm still in disbelief myself, and wondering how it ended up in KY.
Way up north on the River.

Where in Kentucky are you? I'm in Hardin county.

marlinman93 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 02, 2025 10:04 am I sold a Model 1881 with double set triggers last month at our local collector gun show.

Double sets would be awesome. This one has a trigger pull probably in ounces, and a nub of a front sight, so it likely has seen some long range work.

Oldncrusty

Love the wood some guy at Marlin grabbed out of the pile for the forend. Is it a black powder barrel or was it made late enough to be nickel steel? I'm not Marlin literate ... my oldest gun being a Marlin 1897. The only vague ser. number chart I found on line puts this one at 1890. That is a late m...

Oldncrusty

Been after a '92 for years. This one seems to have been carried way more than used.

Oldncrusty

Been sidetracked with life for a while and after this wild winter, was anxious for the local show to come to town. Went this weekend hoping to downsize. Oh well. Ended up with 3 new levers (2 grail guns) and a Win 1903. #1- Marlin model 1881 in 45-70. Bout soiled myself when I saw it walking around ...

Oldncrusty

Good stuff. Thanks.

Oldncrusty

Congrats on a great score. Got two 39a's, but the Mountie is still eluding me.

Thanks for getting me fired up for squirrel season. Used to hunt them voraciously as a kid. Probably have 30 good squirrel rifles to choose from, but I really need to draw blood with my Winchester Model 1893 12 ga. I paid huge $$ for a box of 2 1/2" black powder shells. I don't mind a few stray...

Oldncrusty

Gorgeous! Congrats on the piece and having a friend that generous.

Oldncrusty

Awesome!. Haven't finished my .32-20 kick yet, and here's another idea to think about.
Thanks a lot.

Oldncrusty

A great duo. Been wanting to try both of those for a long time.

Oldncrusty

I eyeballed and fondled this thing for months, trying to resist, but my love for .32s and nickel won out. S&W .32 Hand Ejector. Second model, no change. Pre 5 screw. Made 1903 and 1904. Tight as a drum, very good bore. Cylinder face is spotless. Gonna run it by my smith, but I anticipate a test ...

Oldncrusty

Nice job!. My first cf rifle was a 700 ADL in .243 so I didn't have to worry about all that urethane. But I would have done the same thing to any BDL.

Oldncrusty

Doc's Bighorn post reminded me of this one I found last week. I imagine everyone has seen these, but this is at least a great compilation.

Oldncrusty

Big thanks Doc.

Oldncrusty

Awesome. Glad to hear that.

Oldncrusty

Got a couple .45s back together today with new handles from Chig's. Desert Ironwood burl. Convertible Blachawk, and New Vaquero. Plum tickled with the fit and finish.

Here's hoping you do some return a!! kicking.

Awesome kit there. I need to get on the stick and get one for my ROA.

I like it!

Glad you didn't end up ground chuck. I haven't had any bad bull experiences, but I did have to milk a schizoid thoroghbred mare one time that had nearly killed another worker. The foal had the scours and wasn't nursing so I had to relieve the pressure for a few days. Guess she liked me, we got along...

Thanks ya'll. I'm lovin' it.
