Like the other guys have said, excellent gun. It was discontinued because it put a hurtin on the sales of the 700. It's a rear locking bolt gun.....unusual. I've shot them in 308, 44 mag. and .222?. Can't remember, it was many years ago but I thought it was a 22 center fire. I owned one in 44 mag an...

Thats a tough call. Even in near perfect shape the gun is not worth more than 5 bills. So...why you buy the gun for $250 and sink another $250 for the barrel and a couple of hundred more for installation????? I'd forget about it. $100 tops and tell them why. What I would do is give them $100 and the...

THATS what I call "horse trading". Good snag and good luck!

Sixgun: back in the mid-late 1970’s what were 1886’s going for? Remember seeing them around, but unfortunately I never took an interest. My interest in single shots and lever guns was rekindled when I transitioned from muzzleloaders to black powder cartridge rifles in the mid 1980’s. At that time, ...

Sixgun

Not quite sure if I have the credentials to answer that question. I've been shooting 45-70's out of several different 1886 Winchesters in 45-90 for only 39 years. Bought my first 86 in 45-90 back in '75. Sure you can do it and it was common practice back in the day as the price of 45-90 ammo costs m...

Ok, I use an I pad and I needed to enlarge the pic.-----6 (and Italian)

Cas, If you really want to get fancy, go down to the store where they sell farmer's supplies and get these little rubber o rings that farmers use to castrate baby bulls. Slip one of these babies on the end of the drop tube to limit how much the tube goes in the case. I guess the same thing can be do...

Firefuzz, I hear ya. At the end of your post I like #2 where if you are perceived as an easy target, you will be. (Or words to that effect) That's pretty much sums up my life and the persona I give to people. I'm a nice guy and always willing to help, but if I don't know you, hit the road. Here in t...

Frank,
Yep. The cases are now 4,000 rds.

What you have is an original Lyman tang sight.------6

My daughter is petite also, with small hands. I let her have my S&W Model 10, and she found it to be just the right gun for herself. It works very well with small hands, and luckily it has an excellent trigger along with being able to cock easily, so she can shoot single or double action no pro...

Vance, The .22 ammo thing is going to ease real soon. I told you guys earlier in the year that there are warehouses full of ammo but it was not being released because of some tax thing that's over my head. My bud got in a big load yesterday and he is selling it in bulk and that means there is more c...

Sixgun

Thats strange thinking...at least in these parts. Everyone I know in the gun game (and thats well in the double digits) has multiple calibers in multiple guns and lots of ammo for each gun. We dont concern ourselves with who knows what....its all within the law......and those who decide to steal our...

Six, A little left of that tall press far left. Is that an extremely long drop tub? If so how long is that thing? Do you have to use a stepladder to get to the top? 6 you seriously have got to have the coolest toy room I've ever seen :mrgreen: Nope. Thats an air compressor line that comes out of th...

I must apologize for the misinformation. I just came back from a drive at a 10 cent gunshow with my bud and he told me, "Sure, we will sell by mail, there's a 3% charge for a credit card and we just slap a UPS sticker on it and away it goes". So if you guys are willing to pay the 3% and sh...

Ha! That cat don't know what ammo is. It's all common garden variety ammo with no organization which can readily found at any of the better gunshops. THIS is ammo. :D ------6. (And just what I felt like showing the public). The only difference is that about 95% of everything I have don't break the 1...

That does not surprise me...on the BB gun still working. A few years ago this guy found an old Daisy pump and gave it to me. I did some research and found it to be made in the late 1920's. Still worked. In fact, it worked so good I put it on the internet and got $260 bucks for it, to which we split ...

Definatly replace the o ring with a factory part. It is made of a very hard special rubber and is heat resistant. A regular automotive type o ring will soon fail. One other thing that most people never check is the recoil spring. Remove the butt stock and you will find a steel tube threaded to the ...

Well, it looks like your a happy camper now! Yea, there's not much that more pleasing than coming home with a nice rifle. You done well. As that's a pre-war, you will notice that the tang is factory d&t for a tang sight, so.....get moving young man and pop an old Lyman on there! That gun will ha...

OK, Your in luck as I just happen to have a sale this week on balloon cases. They will be $12 for each case and a minimum of 200 cases per order. :D I'm at work right now and I'll check out my inventory tonight and get back to you.------6 Is the York show anytime soon? They usually have lots of good...

Sixgun

Can't remember offhand and I don't keep notes for that but IIRC, I could not get the whole amount in there. It was not an important reloading adventure as after a few shooting sessions, the mess was not worth the added time when 9 grains of Herco made for a hassle free day of shooting.-------6

Sixgun

From all those episodes of "Pawn Stars", they only like to give ½ the retail value... so they've got LOTS of wiggle room. Take CASH... several crisp $100 notes.... Start at 3 and stop @ 5... slowly! From there, never add more'n a fifty... and twenties'd do nicely! Also, bores are nice... ...

Good luck. I'm the process of teaching my son... He's been doing it for about 4 mos... he already knows more than "DAD"! At least in his mind that's the case!!! :roll: Ha! You snooze.....you lose and you cannot go back in time. When my son was just a youngster, I had him resizing and othe...

During those rare energetic times when I feel the need to load BP in the 38 WCF, I use a 30" brass drop tube, an original Ideal bullet mould, and old original balloon head cases. I keep several hundred around just for those nostalgic moments. I sectioned a couple of cases to show the difference...

Sixgun

Ray, Go ahead and use that 10 mm cylinder. Mine is unbelievably accurate, even more so than the 38-40. It's a smaller case and extreme spreads are closer, plus it takes a fairly hot load more easily than the 38-40 case.......that and they last longer. A 200 grain bullet at 1050-1100 drills the 10&qu...

The drug combination that worked was forced to be changed a couple of years ago by a bunch of bleeding heart liberals. One of the minerals gave you a heart attack, and that was just too much for them. It is a mineral that is cheap, readily available, will give you a heart attack if you don't have e...

Great cartridge! I currently have 4 single action Colts, Ruger single action, Colt Lightning pump, 2 1892's, 2 1873's, and an '89 Marlin in this cartridge.

What amazes me the most is that it's not exactly rocket science to load up a syringe with drugs and give the guy his due. Is it that hard to find a drug that works? Has there ever been any research on what it takes to kill? This stuff is "drugs101" and even most people here knows that a me...

Hombre,
Go ahead and use that ammo. It's loaded very similar to how Winchester loaded it.......full power with a 300 grain bullet traveling about 2200.

That baby is gonna bark! Save the brass----6

Sixgun

Hombre, A 95 is a gun that has to "grow" on you. 40 years ago, I too, thought they were ugly. Now I think they are a sleek product with graceful lines. Yours is an excellent example of a gun that was used, but not abused. I was told those guns were not allowed in Sweden, so you better hurr...

Sixgun

Snaketail, You just brought up a sore memory. I never did fool much with that rifle but I did have some semi-luck with the 200 grain Lyman SWC sized .454 a few months back. I ain't going through all that agg with the coating. I've had antique rifles with only traces of rifling do better so this gun ...

Sixgun

Snake tail, I see what you are up against. Lots of older dudes are happy where they are at. Many guys seem to close off their minds when they get in their late fifties and by 65, they are set in their ways. Older guys also tend to think just because they have been members for 200 years, they know wh...

Nothing tears out your heart like losing a favorite pet. It never gets easier. We have a pet cemetary on our yard and it stays pretty much soaked with the tears that are shed after each burial for the last 40 yeras. It took me many years but now I understand why people leave their estates to their f...

All righty then! That's a rare case when things work out to your advantage. I'm always expecting to pay for, say....2 hours of labor....and then you hear a song and dance about how it got up to 6 hours.......then you look in his parking lot and see a new $50,000 pick up.

The 28" one is a real beauty. Can I have it? :D Get yourself a micrometer and measure the breech end and the muzzle. The breech on a third model with the heavy barrel should measure .956 with the muzzle going .820 Standard was .892 and .756 Because yours is an early third model, sometimes parts...

Well Griff.....don't sound too bad..on the shooting end. Sorry to hear you lost but congratulations on your win!

My Leatherman comes out of my pocket 20-30 times a day and nothing annoys me more than a knife that is less than very sharp, not razor sharp, but sharp enough to easily cut through things that are made to be cut through. I use a Lansky to "set the edge" about very six months using a 17-20 ...

The other day Ben Rumson had a post on smoothbore accuracy and I dug out an old 1894 Marlin smoothbore and after some thought I said to myself, "Why would I waste time shooting a bullet through a smoothbore when I know what's going to happen, so I'll go shoot what was supposed to be in it."...

We have had them for about 3 months. I handled one and while a neat gun, it's still big for a .380. Like the Judge, it's a novelty gun.

Two months ago my son bought one in Colorado and he likes it.----6

Streetstar,
You sure put that into proper perspective as in the 4 or 5 g's you would get but the guns are gone forever.

It's amazing how a woman can go through a pile full of money and have nothing to show for.---6

It's not like there are 200 guns...keep em all and will them out. If you insist, narrow it down to two and keep the 33 with the full length mag. It's the most collectible.
