Hello All, I'm trying to sort out feed and accuracy reloads with my franken-Winch 1892 x 218 Mashburn Bee I was hoping to find some 35-40g flat nose jacketed bullets for this Mash-B, and all I've come up with is the 46g FN Speers. I even tried snubbing the nose off some V-max but they were still too...

JeffG

"wanna see my AR?" - is what you'll rarely hear from a levergunner
"wanna see the original semi-auto assault rifle?" - is much more fun to say

JeffG

Thanks for the research and reply EarlMck,
That's a great help, thanks! I was planning on starting with 22g and see what the chrono said. I am picking as many brains as I can about this one.

JeffG

Hello All,
I recently acquired a Savage 99 rebarreled to 219 zipper, and a couple pounds of H322 that seem like they should go together. I also have a selection of 50-56g bullets to try....but load info is pretty scarce.

Do any of you have favorite zipper and H322 loads to share?

Thanks,
Jeff

JeffG

thanks Gentlemen,
That's encouraging Jager3, my intended use is for a coyote load under 150yds. I have a double negative on the forearm distortion because this is a barrel band model.

JeffG

Hello All,
I've got a Savage 99H (short barrel, 14 twist) that is having accuracy trouble with 87g and 75g bullets. Does anyone have experience with Hornady flat nose bullets in this caliber?

I know these bullets are meant for slower cartridges but I thought it was worth a try as a coyote load.

JeffG

Yup!
The Black Shadow is the piece. After seeing that I kept digging and found they did a run of 2000 pcs in 1999 in brushed chrome (???)

Thanks for the help!

JeffG

94AE, stainless, half-mag with black synth pistol grip stock... which model is this? very sweet looking rifle...even if it is a little reminiscent of a new BLR

JeffG

This is great motivation! It's a real treasure having such a vast well of experience here to draw from. I spoke with Dave Mazy after H-Talon's referal to his own project. Dave seems like a genuine resource...and the first gunsmith I've talked to who's done this re-barrel/change to 7mm08. ...so I'm m...

JeffG

Cherry gun box (finally) went out to Elkhunter today via UPS. I hope you find it on your porch early next week. JeffG

JeffG

...so, does anyone have a drawer of Savage 99 actions and other forsaken 99 parts that they are willing to trade, and let me make a project out of?

JeffG

There are many times many beloved 99s, and They Deserve IT!! They are great guns! And when they're cared for they should last for generations...but some aren't loved and cared for... I imagined one of these orphans finding a new life as a 7MM-08, and a new family to care for it...hopefully for gener...

JeffG

Well Thanks for all the considerate responses. My primary motivation for this Savage 99 in 7mm-08 is a brother-in-law who just loves the 7mm-08. He's been tweeking his reloads for it on three different family hunting rifles for about 10 years....I show up on opening day with my .300 savage and I'm p...

JeffG

" 99F 308 to 7mm-08 "

Now That's what I'm talking about! Where did you get the barrels, and who did the work for you and your lovely wife?

JeffG

Hi,
Has anyone ever seen/done a rebarrel on a Savage 99? I was thinking about a 99E .308 being re-barreled to 7mm-08.

JeffG

PM sent to dajudge about his compass.

JeffG

Oldmax,

The base and rings arrived today, Thanks!...just when I was worried I'd have nothing to do this weekend!! Seeya at the range!

Thankyou, JeffG

JeffG

....I'm holding my breath here, it's good practice for using my target rifle, but I'll sneak in a breath while I'm waiting to hear from you both.

JeffG

Oldmax,
I have a Winchester model 75 that has Lyman apertures on it now...I'd love to try a scope on it. I'd love to get your Redfield bases and rings.
Thanks,
JeffG

JeffG

Elkhunter1
good for you, send me a PM of the dimensions you'd like (leave enough room for your padding), and I'll start on it. Better include your mailing address too.

JeffG

OK Meanc, lay them out the way you want them to sit in a box and take a photo, or better yet, trace them on a piece of roll-up paper and send it to me. ...and "Levers" thanks for watching out for me. Building a box feels like a good thing that I can "pay forward"...I want to enco...

JeffG

OK, I tried PMs again to both of you. What I'd like to offer forward is making a wooden carrying case for someone's long gun. I could make it with a walnut frame or cherry (or other hardwood), and harwood veneer plywood panels. I'd leave the padding and varnishing for you. I have some average brass ...

JeffG

PM sent to Blackhawk and BSAride...I think. They did not show up in my "sent" mailbox. Let me know if they didn't arrive.

JeffG

Hello Blackhawk, If noone has spoken for the powder scale, I'd like to. I want to get into reloading, but I don't have the nerve to spend abunch of money (read: I don't have the nerve to negotiate with my wife about more shooting expenses...but reloading is cheaper than buying factory ammo...right?)...

JeffG

My brother-in-law, who is my shooting guru (...but scoffs at leverguns, so how much can I trust him) says the only lever gun he ever considered was a Savage 99 in 7mm-08 made just before they stopped them. Is that so, has anyone seen one. I might consider it as a gift for him...shutting him up about...

JeffG

Well thankyou all...sounds like I should just stick with my redfield, which comes up just right every time. The low light issue was not huge, I think the brighter view I was after was the product of a larger objective lens (50mm Luepold) that someone was showing off to me, but it's too high for the ...

JeffG

Hi, I'm trying to upgrade my eyes...but in the meantime I'm trying to get a clearer scope. Right now I have a Redfield Widefield 4x mounted which has served me fine, but I'm looking for better low-light visibility, and some magnification. I tried a Nikon 4-12 x 40 which put the sight line too high.....

If you're serious I just lost one on a hunting trip and been looking to replace it. Let me know if you have one or two you want to get rid of. Thanks

Yeah! Me too, I want to try Pete44's moon roof idea

JeffG

I too like the hoods. I mounted Skinner sights on my 39A and 94. the front hood helps me by lining up the two circles. I put 15 rounds in an inch and a half at 50 yrds with the 39A...now if I could just get the squirels to stand still a little longer. How about the hoods that have an open top with o...

JeffG

my brother-in-law offered to do some re-loads for me, what are your recommendations. thanks!

JeffG

I just saw a model 150 winchester at the local candy store....VERY cheap looking rig. Can't say as I'd want to own it, which surprised me. Anyone have any experience with these?

JeffG

I think $400.00 is a steal. I can't seem ti find one less than 600.00, and then they are not in the best of condition. I first would ask for a "best price", to see if you can save a few bucks, but I would go ahead and purchase it!! Good luck!! Art I have to agree with Marlin .35. I bought...

JeffG

wisdom from my father:

"dumb questions are easier to solve than dumb mistakes"

JeffG

I picked up a box of the Remington 30-30 Accelerators. 55 grain .223 bullet with a 30 cal. sabot pushed to 3400 fps muzzle velocity. I haven't tried them yet, but the specs are real flat shooting out to 200yds. could be a real woodchuck threat.

Anybody have any experience with these?

JeffG

Sixgun offered a good heads-up for anyone interested in using one of these mufflers Jeff, Those mufflers ought to be patented! I cannot believe more people don't use them. I have a blast with mine. I belong to a regular 500 meter gunclub, (as I am sure you do) but the muffler comes in handy for test...

JeffG

Well, I wanted to finally share some details about my back yard shooting station. I live in a small town (...but big enough that the neighbors would call the local constable if they heard shooting). I wanted to practice with the .22 in my backyard which looks over a creek and corn field. I started s...

JeffG

Give the guy his due...here's the link to the Rossi article
http://www.castbullet.com/makeit/rossi.htm

JeffG

Ok, here's some photos. The one photo with the peep aperture, I lifted off the internet (as a matter of fact, I lifted the whole idea off this fellow with the Rossi levergun), the others are my 39A. The ghost ring works great with my 50 year old eyes, especially half way up the barrel. I sighted in ...

JeffG

I just put a Williams WDOS rear ramp on my 39A, with a Ghost Ring slid into the 3/8" dovetail. It's Great! I want to try the same thing with my 1979 Model 94. I like the traditional look of the rear ramp sight in it's original position. I don't like the receiver mounted ghost rings. I can't tel...

JeffG

Thanks for the enthusiasm!! As I mentioned, the idea come from one of our fellow levergunners (I can't remember who), a couple months ago. He posted some pictures of his too. I was planning on making another and experimenting with the internal dimensions. I will take some in-process pictures and sen...

JeffG

Hi All, I just wanted to share my good times with all y'all. Thanks to this forum I have made it to plinking Heaven! (right here in my back yard!!). A couple of these lever guns were discussed here before they came home with me. The back yard muffler idea was discovered here about two months ago (wh...

JeffG

well, I'll throw my two cents in. I went on a binge and bought both this past month. The 39A was dirt-cheap and I tried to shoot it for the first time this past week, turns out the firring pin is broken. $18 plus shipping got me a new one, and (I'm NO gunsmith) it looks like a snap to drop it in. Th...

JeffG

Thanks guys, I contacted Chas Jones (http://www.chasjonesgunparts.citymax.co ... 498048.htm) and he's sending me a couple new ones. There was a pre-1975 and post 1975 choice...what changed about the 39A in 1975?

JeffG

Hi, Just tried to shoot my bargain Marlin (1971 39A)for the first time...dropped the hammer and nothing happened. I was trying .22 long cb caps, so I figured the odd ammo caused the problem. I cycled the cartridge out, it ejected fine, with the bullet intact. No dimple on the base of the cartridge, ...

JeffG

you should check with fellow levergunner Marlinman93, he had a couple stocks for my 39A

JeffG

I've been thinking of an air rifle, but fellow Levergunner ".45colt" suggested these. I have zero experience with these, but they seem perfect for my backyard. Anyone have any negatives?

JeffG

JeffG

Ithaca model 66, single shot. The lever breaks the action open to breech load. You could call it a repeater, if you carried 4 shells between the fingers of your lever hand and practiced a two-finger extraction/load manuever...a real man could probably hold a couple in his teeth and spit them right i...

JeffG

....sorry no pix, my next $200 will have to go for a digital camera. It is a BL-22 Deluxe (checkering on the stocks, engraving on the receiver...and the box!) Thanks for ALL your help and advice. Jeff G

JeffG

Quick check on Browning BL-22 value. A neighbor wants $200 for a Japanese grade 1 (chekering on the stocks). It's 95%, just a couple scratches. What else should I be looking for?
