That looks like a dandy from fine workmanship. And better yet the lock is on the proper side.

Marvin S

I have the Burris Landmark and think it is a good spotter.

Marvin S

I has a very good bore and shoots very well, the first time I had it out. Restored would be nice but no doubt would cost too much. At least it was not sanded or buffed when the cold blue was done. I'll get up some targets and range report next time it goes out.

That is one of those things I knew but it did not come out right.

Marvin S

It is listed for high pressure tier 2 loads in some reloading manuals such as Lyman 4th edition cast bullet manual. Besides is it not really just a model 14 action, same as used in 25,30,and 35 Rem calibers. But called a 14 1/2 to differentiate it as a pistol caliber rifle.

Marvin S

I size at .340 dia and had to custom order an H&I die from Buff Arms. The mold was speç to drop at .341. The rifle has a perfect bore as that was a condition of the sell that had to be met. I dont really know what the operating pressure is for the 33 but it is supposed to be capable of launching...

This was the second one in 44 that was offered to me, the first one had the barrel hacked on. These use to be popular prison guard rifles.

In this line of work, you got to be able to sing the battle hym of the republic and whistle dixie with equal enthusiasm.

Marvin S

I like it. Belgium mfg receiver sight no salt wood, it's got it all.

Marvin S

Looks like you had a great time

Marvin S

Considering the cold blue job and stock refinish it was a third the price of a 92 with a good bore. I don't have a revolver to go with it. The 14 1/2 is a strong action so there is that to consider when selecting a matching handgun.

Marvin S

But you all know what they want for them so I picked this Rem 14 1/2 up awhile back. 8gr unique and the LEE 200gr RNFP and it's quite the little shooter. It makes me look past the poor slathering of cold blue and wood refinish.

Marvin S

It is a recent manufactured Lyman as the originals are costing way to much, and is the large disk with the smaller hole. Can't remember the hole size.

Marvin S

Finally got out to shoot this rifle for the first time and really like it. It handles quite well and is light weight especially for an 1886 in a take down model. Bullet was from one of Tom's cataloged molds and is the knock off of the old Lyman design and as usual cast very well. Powder was Accurate...

Marvin S

If powder power is out then the Marauder pre charge would be the wise choice alough pricey. There are several reviews on then just google it.

Marvin S

I shelved my RWS 48 22cal in favor of CCI quiets and have been very happy with them.

Marvin S

Go ahead and do it. I have the CETME from Century when they first came out and you could buy the south african rubber battle packs of ammo for 30 bucks. I got lucky on mine and have not had one problem with it and really like the ergonimics of it. Mine is the loudest rifle I ever shot, heard tell it...

Marvin S

I have a legendary frontiersman and it does shoot very well with. 379 and .380 dia lead.

Marvin S

The Delorean was a good idea with the stainless steel body, we just need a stainless truck.

Marvin S

I dont think they use salt in the north central states like MT ND.

Marvin S

You need to bypass Kansas.

Marvin S

Yes we had snow in KS today with more predicted tomorrow.

Marvin S

Nice. I have the little 1 1/2 headless Z.

Marvin S

I have them on my 94 Marlin and 1897 Texan Marlin, they are slick.

Boy I sure like that. Made out of steel and wood

Marvin S

If you decide to take up casting for it, look at Accurate Molds. I just received a copy of the old Lyman GC for my 33. Buffalo arms can supply a .340 H&I sizer die and Hornady once again makes gas checks for the 338.

Marvin S

Maybe rebarreled with the half and half barrel.

Marvin S

Our antique engine club has a machine and blacksmith shop still run by a line shaft and hit and miss. Check it out. http://www.meridenthreshers.org/

About another week or three here before spawn starts.

Marvin S

I have done a few of them and they aint to bad to do as long as you have a good vice or chain vice to get the packing nut loose. Some of the hard nylon type seals need to be placed in boiling water to soften them. If it aint leaking leave it be. Seal kits are about 30 bucks.

Marvin S

Kirk, I posted some questions over at WC site. Nice write up.

Marvin S

Politics aside your a lucky guy to see him with Crazy Horse. Rust never sleeps.

Marvin S

You might look at a laminated stock Marlin mod 60.

Marvin S

And we are looking at another 8 to 15 inches of snow. Might have to look at getting some snow shoes

Marvin S

NICE

Marvin S

I went out today looking for small game but did not end up shooting anything. To bad it wernt Deer season but that's the way it works. A couple of these pictures have two deer in them at about 60 yards. See if you can find both Deer in the last two pictures.

Marvin S

We had 12" of snow today. The Case 40XT skidloader performed well.

Marvin S

Sometimes its cheaper to buy the rifle with them.

Marvin S

Fords answer to the jeep. They had a good 9in rear end and a spicer 44 up front. They even rusted as bad as a jeep

Marvin S

That ebay link is the same one I just bought.

Marvin S

:D Bought this nice Redfield all steel sight. probably paid too much for it but hey they aint makin em like this anymore. it will go on my 1952 ish 94 carbine in 30WCF. I suppose the little set screws on the adjustment knobs are made to be removed so you can zero the the collars? Also the yardage si...

Marvin S

Happy birthday to both of ya.

Marvin S

It might be a little while till the shootin commence's. But I'll get er done when I round up the components and such. I would like to find a original tang sight that aint 250 bucks. I have the old Hornady manual that has loads for the 200 gr jacket bullet but was warned that the data was a little wa...

Marvin S

My older brother has a blue grass band and I showed him this band quite awhile back. He was very impressed.

Marvin S

I sure know I'm guilty. Times were lean growing up so lots of catch up going on.

Marvin S

They issue us the Peltor twin cup ear defenders, but im in aircraft maint. Mainly jet engine noise and rivit guns.

Marvin S

Have you looked at Fastenal and McMaster Carr?

Marvin S

Just got him today from a gentleman over on the Winchester collectors forum. Good tight solid gun with a perfect bore. Its a 33 WCF now to tool up to load for it $$$$$. Looks like the new RCBS 33-200 mold is a plain base now. There are a couple molds over at Accurate molds that I'm eyeballing for it...

I'm not to big on links to go look at but I saw this commercial early this morning before going to work on the outdoor channel. It,s funny.

Marvin S

Would it be that the crimps that retain the plunger/follower are worn letting it come out too far.
