I always wanted to take a Martini like that and rebarrel/chamber it to 32 S&W long like C.E. Harris did as a sort of next step up from a 22 rimfire small game hunter. But a 25-35 Winchester might be just as good for my needs. I'll have to keep an eye on this. Wm I’m starting my build of a 32 S&...

Marvin S

So it’s like a .357 Max?

Two thumbs up. Now to wake the rest of the US up.

You noticed.

It’s the reason I use a mini griptilian. Easy one hand open and close with a reverse able clip.

Marvin S

To me they are only worth it if you are left handed. CRKT, Schatt Morgan, Queen Cutlery are good picks.

Marvin S

One thing you may or may not know is when loading through the gate only push the cartridge 3/4 of the way in unless it’s the last one. This keeps the fighting to a minimum.

Marvin S

Well I am about 3 hours north of You. If You are in the area of Salina, Hutchinson, Newton or even Wichita KS it might work for me. Dagnabit... I came down thru Emporia & Wichita on my way down to OKC yesterday. I'll keep that in mind for the next time I'm headed thru that area. I’m just north ...

Marvin S

I had one of the short 22 LR ones years ago. The bullets would bounce off a car door.

Marvin S

The LEE O-ring nut is OK if you remove the die by grabbing the nut and not the die body. Be sure to snug the nut down to seat the O-ring once it is adjusted first . Or you can buy a bunch of split locking rings to replace the LEE ones.

Yep like sanding/filing concrete. I got a left hand thumbhole for a Savage Axis, good stock and good fit just too long in the thumb web for me.

Marvin S

Sounds likely, I have had to do that myself.

Marvin S

I bought a .520 dia round ball mold off a guy, USPS says it was delivered on the 15th and I ain’t seen it. I looked in the mailbox early this morning and it was there, my mail doesn’t come till late afternoon. It had to show up on Sunday.

That would be good, just don’t get their universal expander set, it’s nothing more than a mouth belling set.

Marvin S

You may want either Lyman or RCBS dies as Buffalo arms offers expander plugs in a size you would need. You may also consider fire forming you cases and never resize them again, not even neck sizing. This will prevent the case mouths from looking like a snake swallowing a bullfrog. Just make sure you...

One of all the above, they each have their uses.

That rifle should swallow.380 dia bullets, my legendary frontiersmen did easily. And would shoot your eye out at 100 yards with 10gr unique. And don’t buy into the hard bullet BS. Nothing wrong with the LEE dies except the expander plug will not be big enough for the lead bullet. RCBS cowboy dies ar...

I have one 22 lever gun, a Marlin 1897 Texan. Sweet little rifle.

Marvin S

If the workmanship is there then it’s not overdone IMHO.

Marvin S

Nice job. Caliber and loading please.

Might be different where you live, but in Wyoming Verizon service is absolutely the pits, once you get a few miles out of town you are SOL. I like to visit WY for fishing, what carrier is best for you? I like the Encampment area If I go to Wyoming to fish, I don't WANT cell coverage ;) .. I like to...

Marvin S

I scoured many coverage maps of the four major providers and Verizon and AT&T come out on top. All the cheaper plans are MVNO (Mobil virtual network operators) that buy unused time from the major provides. Tracfone is supposed to use everyone’s service / towers but as a second rate citizen IMHO....

Marvin S

Okay I’ve done some more reading and looks like Verizon and AT&T are best with Verizon having the edge for me. My tracfone is an MVNO which is supposed to use all the major carriers but I think it just uses Sprints which is the worst of all.

Marvin S

So I am changing some things to save a couple bucks and be more useful to me. Added cellular dailer to home alarm which is actually cheaper than the land line it was on. This allows me to disconnect the land line and save 40 bucks a month. I have an old Tracphone that has terrible coverage and will ...

I’m about through my 10 dollar Rock Hardware jeans that lasted as long as any others. Had to get Carhart this go around.

Marvin S

Enjoyable to read post. Mom always used a hoe in the Hen house, I preferred my single shot.410 for outside duty.

Marvin S

Nice piece. I have the same year and caliber but with an octagon barrel. It’s going out squirrel hunting soon.

Marvin S

The addition of the recoil pad tells me what they were shooting in it.

Marvin S

44 magnum? I would pass on it.

Marvin S

Thanks fellas, have a good one yourselves.

Marvin S

I'm a thinkin' you're talking about a Winchester mdl 94, not a Marlin 1894... right? A fair offer for both of you would be at least $5-600. Unfired with box and hangtags should bring a bit more... than a "shooter"and if you're only looking at it as an investment... then you should be will...

On barrel lengths from 16-24 inches.

I have not either. 1952 30wcf with a redfield receiver sight and ranch dog gas check.

I retired from the military this May. We were forced to get them and I told myself never again. Was in Walgreens a couple weeks ago and the gal said free flu shot with your VA card. Since it was MY choice I got one.

good one.

Anyone close to you with an abrasive waterjet machine.

I have been winding the Illinois watch for three days and checking it against a quartz clock. I have not noticed any time loss or gain, pretty impressive for 95 years old.

This Illinois watch was my Grandpaw’s he got it in the 1920’s
I opened it up and it’s 17 jewel and is a 1923 model.

You might look on sites like longisland watch co. Orient watch co of Japan has some good mechanical movements.

All sounds plausible, I also thought of a legitimate reason for them in the tank.

If they are bullets, I can see some kid putting them in there years ago.

So I bought this Dietz #2 D-Lite lantern today and was cleaning it up and noticed something rattling around in the fuel tank. It was these two wood slugs .33 dia and 1.27 long. There was old stale fuel in it so maybe they could have swelled some. The lantern is a 1945 model. Any ideas.

Glad it worked out. There were a multitude of different rear and front sights used being different styles and heights. Smokeless and Blackpowder heights.
