I have a near perfect H & A. 32 harmerless. a S & W DA 4th model and a new Beretta Laramie 45 c, That's a Uberty and made to match a S & W New Model Three.
I'll bet there's a lot in your collections.

What's the best way to take a gun photo?

Seems like an art to me. Some pictures here show good detail and the full lenght. I can't seem to figure it out. Do you stay back a distance and zoom in to fill the frame? How about lighting? Maybe outside on an overcast day. Bright lights don't work for me.

Re: My tastes in lever guns is changing

Although I have a few, I've never been fond of carbines. It's hard for me to shoot a deer though the hart at 100 yards with one. Also the looks of a lever rifle makes me smile.

Re: Article: The .45 Colt Lever-Action As A Hunting Rifle

I shoot a lot of 45's. 45 acp. 45-70, 45-110 and three 45 Colt pistols and Now a 45 long Colt Uberty Special Sporting rifle. The 45 Colt fed many of the early Westerners. As a bit more of a challange, I think it's a worthy task. A 270 and a scope is to easy. The 45-70 was the task last season and it...

Their site says $3,300 add checkering it's $3,600. At Buffalo Arms the Pedersoli is $1,997 add the sights, it's under $2,500. I didn't say '' thousands'' I said a thousand. I'm sure the Shiloh is worth every penny.

Re: I'll try , but I'll need help with the levergun list.

Did Browning make there own production runs of the ones originally manurfactured by Winchester? I know they do a '86 and I think a '95. I know John Browning seems to have invented just about every good gun back in the early days of cartridge repeaters.

That '94 on the bottom has quite a history. It had gone through a fire at a Alaska gun store in '64 or '65. I bought it at an auction as a lad 0f 15 in 1965 in Anchorage a year after the earthquake. I'm not sure but the quake may have been cause of the fire. It had no blueing or case finish. The sto...

I'll have to read up about those guns. Looks like I have a lot of reading. Usally I buy the gun first then read about it.
I guess when you go to 22's there are a bunch.
Keep it comming and when we're done , I'd like to see all of these in chronological order.

Re: Stop me from butchering my Marlin 1895 Cowboy 45-70.

I shoot my 45-110 Quigley compressed loads with the '' cresent '' without a recoil pad. But that's blackpowder and weighs 14#. The Marlin does have a bad recoil with stout hunting charge and 410 grain bullets. I think I'll keep the butt plate it came with.

Is this a problem? If I drill and tap for a front screw, will it strip too easy?

Stop me from butchering my Marlin 1895 Cowboy 45-70.

I like this gun, but I wish it had a crescent but plate. a thinner forearm, case hardened and a cover over the bolt or a square bolt. I quess the round one is stronger, but it ugly.

It's still a great gun. Oh what it could be.

I'm not having trouble getting it around here in Northern MN. I use Goex FG and FFG. I shoot 45-110 Sharps and some 45 colt BP.
I like your ammo. I don't have much in 38. Maybe that should be my next mission. I've been limiting the BP to the single shots. I didn't want to mess up the lever guns.
