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.

Heard a good sermon this morning dealing with these issues

Oldncrusty

Oldncrusty

Congrats on finding some long lost friends.

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.

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.

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.
