Re: Which Tang Sight would fit my Rifle?
The sight has a bigger screw HEAD not a bigger screw. You will also get another tang screw as the original will be too short. The new one might be a bit long. Grind it to the correct length which will be known after you try it out.

Re: My new love...the 22 Short
I know about it but it only stabilized in my Mountie and I've never shot anything with it. You have to be especially careful about that in a suppressed gun; my Ruger 96/22 levergun wears an integrally-suppressed 10/22 barrel (Thompson Machine 'Operative'), and the literature that came with it says ...

Re: Advice needed on Lil'Gun and 32-20 load development.
Like H110/W296 I think Lil'Gun is a max effort powder. Based on my experience with it I wouldn't use it for anything else. It should work in the .32-20, but we're talking loads that approach the .30 Carbine in performance.
That's just my 2 cents...

I'd do what Tim says. That said, I used the old Remington 240 gr. SJHP on hogs in CA with zero problems. I don't see a need to make a .44 Mag rifle a .444 Marlin, buy a .444 Marlin if you need one.

That can be caused by the barrel locking bolt not fully inserting back in the frame when the barrel is closed.
