If'n it was mine, I would get with Douglas and have a barrel made. (yeah spendy, but so what) Then I would have any reputable CAS levergun smith do a very slick action, dovetail the barrel for the sights and mag tube hanger....... Google a feller who calls himself Lassiter.... Thanks for the inform...

Wow! Nearly 80 views and no posts. Must be I am not the only one who has no idea were to get one of these barrels. Thanks for looking at least.

I am thinking that I need to do a custom Marlin 1894css. I want to get my hands on one and make it into a "Cowboy" rifle. I am interested in switching out the barrel and forstock wood to make this project work. The tough part is finding an octagon barrel in stainless steel that will work o...

I am glad to hear about the Barnes TSX. I just bought a box to try in my .243. I hope they shoot well.

I do know of guys that take a Marlin .410 shotgun, rebarrel it to have a rifled boar and make their own slugs to shoot in them. As I understand it they shoot like a .45-70 which of course is very good on deer.

I have tried them too. I just make nice little wad cutters with them and I punch paper for fun. The do shoot more accurately and they make a really nice clean hole.

It is hard to pick a favorite pistol or revolver out of my collect as I really like them all. On the other hand I have been shooting these more than the rest lately. They are used in CAS matches along with my 1894 CBC and the Winchester 1897. http://usera.ImageCave.com/JCW/Cropped%20Cowboy%20guns.jp...

I have one of the blued/walnut versions. I like it a lot and paid about $375'ish for mine too. The only negative I have about it is that it is heavy. When trudging through a foot or more of snow looking for cotton tails it starts to weigh on you.

kentdep

This insert is a Shaver. We put one of Shavers spirit level globes on Carols roller, and that is a really nice sight. I see... Nice setup. I was giving consideration to switching out my Marbles Tang for a MVA Soule sight. If we had some official matches in my area I might just do that. Cool stuff. ...

kentdep

That is a cool rifle! I have one just about like it. My rear sight is a Marbles. I also have the .17HMR version too. They are great little rifles to plink with.

As far as the front globe goes, I have found that I like Lee Shavers inserts alot. They work great because they are so fine.

Jay

Thanks Gary! Your rifle looks great too. I am hoping to do up another rifle with Treebone's wood. Why mess with perfection right?

Jay

I would consider this is my Ultimate. http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i125/kentdep/100_1396.jpg I would like to get the action color case hardened yet. And maybe get the action screws niter blued. http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i125/kentdep/100_1394.jpg Then I would be all set I think. Jay

kentdep

Nice looking rifle. Treebone did a set for my 1895 LTD-V a couple of years back. I have been tinkering with mine for some time and just added a tang sight to mine. I am getting my rifle ready for some long range SASS side matches. I just posted this on the rugerforum today. http://www.rugerforum.org...

Steve can shoot can't he! I shoot the local sass matches with him and he is amazing to watch. Thanks for posting the link. I thought that I read on the sass wire that he topped that record at the Kentucky State match. Awsome!

I too did not renew. This was after subscribing for the last 15 years. Sad really.

My take in the woods hunting twenty-two is a Bisley Super Single Six. I like this gun a lot. 5 1/2 barrel and I can switch between Long Rifle and Maganums.

Jay

I think the only difference between the regular Cowboy and Cowboy Competition models is the color cased finish and a bit more internal factory tuning. Joe That is exactly correct with the .45s. At the time that these CBCs were being made, the only difference between the CBC and the Cowboy, where th...

kentdep

The Cowboy Competition, in .38 caliber was a .38 Special only rifle. They also made some in .45LC. These are easy to spot as they have color case hardened receivers. There was a run of standard Cowboy rifle that had blued recievers but were chambered for .38 Special only too. Pretty rare, I had a ch...

kentdep

I have to LOL too. CAS, super modified guns are way different than stock out of the box guns.

You are absolutely correct.

I wish I could lay my hands on a '92 in .32 H&R also. I love that caliber.

Thanks for the tips guys. AJMD429, I hear what you are saying about the Marbles sights. I have them on a couple of rifles currently and I have looked at them for my LTD-V but on this particular rifle I don't care for the way they look. I have to have the right look to go along with the function and ...

I have a 1895LTD-V that I have been toying with for some time. I bought it used and it came with a Lyman tang sight that I want to replace. I tried a long range side match at the Wolverine Range War last year and I did ok but I really don't care for the Lyman. It is kind of junky, loose and not too ...

I would be interested except for this little thing called work (I have to work everyother weekend). I would be up for coming down for a SASS match this summer sometime though.

Jay

I got a laugh out of that!

Thanks for posting it.

I like them because I can harvest critters for food and shoot targets for my own entertainment. That's about it for me.

Cool post! I just picked up a 1894CL last month. I have been collecting the components to load some round for it. I have some of the Remington and some Hornady bullets. I would like to get my hands on some cast lead but I have having difficulty finding a source.

I'll keep and take my 1895GS 45-70/457WW Mag.($2200.00) anywhere and feel confident that I can kill/stop anything that walks the face of this Earth. I can buy a lot of nice lever guns for 25K! Ouch!! I agree. The DTB rifle looks great and I think that it would be a great caliber but for crying out ...

I would think you are 100% on with the financing of one of those. My 1895GS, 1895LTD-v, all my 1894s, my collection of Ruger SAs...... They look great but if I needed a rifle to do what that gun was capable of doing, I am sure I could come up with something else that would be much easier on the wall...

I liked the idea alot but I am not ready to sell off my 1895GS to get one.

The Sheriff's office that I work for has been having problems getting ammo for some time now.

I read the first three when they came out and havn't read any since. I should get them on tape. My wife and I are going to Gulf Shores Alabama in a few weeks and it would be nice to listen to them on the way there and back.

Thanks for the heads up.

Jay

I liked Clyde's safety replacement too and I have them on my blued guns. I wanted one too for my 1895GS and needed one in stainless. Since nobody makes one in stainless, I made my own.

Thank you guys! Those are some nice words to say the least.

I didn't realize that Acusport had Ruger build another run of those. I have one from a couple of years ago.

They are great, fun accurate shooters too.

Jay

I picked up one from the last run. It is a nice gun but it is as heavy as a house. If I were in the same position again I probably wouldn't buy one too heavy.

I would probably buy a SxS .410 that I could use 3 inch shells in.

Thanks for all the nice words! I appreciate that from fine levergun gurus! The glass bedding of the stocks weather proofs them. It also tightens the wood to metal fit. When putting them together there is no sloppiness what so ever. You wouldn't think that it would make a difference but it does. I wi...
