Methinks it's about time for you to buy a 45/70.
Cheap insurance. And loads of fun.

Ditto.

Those 220gr .375 diameter bullets are made for the .375 Win., not the .38-55, which although VERY similar cases, ain't the same. .38-55 is sorta noted for having .379-.381 groove diameters. Once you find the right size bullet, tho', they're also noted for very good accuracy.

I don't believe everything I read on Gunbroker, and this guy has a piece of tape over the portion of the label that would dispell the rumor:

Unless, Nikko Arms is another name for Miroku.

Nope, you definitely need the hammer pictured here:

In my wife's youth she worked at a stable that included some fine jumping horses. She started by mucking stalls. It was 6 months of working, before she was allowed to become a back-up exercise girl... mucking stalls whenever the regular girls showed up. Sorry, but I see a certain similarity... I'm s...

OOOHHHHH! If only that were an option... even a single set would make into the mix.

Joe, sometime in 1977 or thereabouts the receivers changed to require the flat topped lower tang (non-earred tang). These parts will swap out easily onto the most recent of lower tangs. I have a 2006 curved lower tang in the project gun I'm building for my son, with all pre-rebounding parts installe...

Score one for the good guys. Be glad they even took the trouble to lift prints, and hopefully recover some of your property. Surprised he had it this long... must not a been a junky.

Once again, congrats there Nath. Thanks for sharin', love the MLs.

Carl, As long as I can remember "they've" had the Legislative juice. When they were considering that this http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d197/sass93/IMG_09231.jpg met the criteria for inclusion as a "device that holds more than 7 rounds designed to load a firearm" I knew the l...

I might be lucky, but I have "THE ONE". And, it is one that I built myself (with some professional help) back in '89-'90. But I'm willing and desirous to have some differences between a few, therein lies the motivation for my "projects". 1) Configuration – rifle/carbine (nose cap...

I have several favorites . Specific guns have specific jobs in my safe, and therefor they wear different sights. Among my favorites are a semi-buckhorn with a post front, a tang peep with either a "T" post or a globe front. I actually like the standard Winchester iron sights. http://i35.ph...

Pinning is a time-honored tradition, not often seen by any but those involved. Darn leaky eyes anyway. Thanks for the reminder. And to think there are those that wouldn't have granted his family this honor to his memory.

I have one I bought new when they first came out. It sports a Weaver K4-1 scope. They're sweet little rock crushers; I've carried mine on several hunts, but was always unsuccessful. I may have to get it out and give it some more opportunities. :D Congrats on your soon to be "new-to-you" ri...

Griff, My rifle is an Armi Sport short rifle sold by Cimarron. The stove piped round is the only round standing on the carrier. Some times they might spill out instead of stove piping. This doesn't happen all the time. I will check the Marauder's site, thanks for the info. I guess this is kind of a...

Glad to hear the surgery went fine. As rjohns94 said, go easy on the recovery.

Jeremy... this line pegged my humor meter! Yep, every shot I've screwed up, be it 100 or 500 yards, was during practice in a good shooting position... OR so I THOUGHT!

A few years ago I saw a Uberti mfg'd 1873 Sporting rifle in a shop. 24" Octagon barrel; checkered pistol-grip buttstock & forearm; .45 Colt caliber. The pricetag on it was...........are you ready?.........$629.95. I was on it like ugly on an ape, I tell you!!! They marked it wrong............

Steve, aka "Nate Kiowa Jones", is definitely the guy... but... I'll ask a couple of questions to possibly narrow down the likely cause. Now mind ya, I've only tuned 3 Rossi '92s whereas I understand Steve had done hundreds. Is your rifle a Rossi or Armi Sport? they're slightly different, b...

Silver Hill. I don't have any experience with these folks, but... I'm thinking of using them for a couple of stocks that I need to replace if Precision Gun Works doesn't get their production back up when I'm ready.

Griff

Very good. I have the same barrel I'm using for a project, tho' I'm not as far along. Other traditional receiver finishes you might consider are pewter or nickel. Both can be applied to the scintered steel of the '64-'82 mdl 94s.

Call me a repetitive nerd, but... I have four of these: Safariland Pancake , two each for my mdl 65 S&W and Combat Comm, one in black, with the other being brown.

Congrats on your new project. As far as TLC, since you got it as an incomplete carbine, whatever you fancy would be ok to me.

Griff

Sixgun Jr., you must be untrustworthy... my son has the combo to my safe... he won't even take HIS guns out of it... AND I NEED THE ROOM! I have 18 Winc 94s that won't fit!

Hmmm... sounds like the bs'n has already started!

Best of luck to you guys.

Thanks Rangerider... I'd heard of them before, but wasn't sure just what specifically they'd done to your revolver. And I didn't include "deals" from "way back when", but should really include a NIB, 1969 produced Winchester 94, .44Mag I paid $30 for... some other sailor had orde...
