Rangerider 7, Yes, you could order a rifle butt but usually most carbines were not special ordered, especially during that time frame. But as your rifle was made right after the war, it was common for Winchester to slap on different kinds of wood just to get the rifle out and make some money as time...

Here is my 1858 new model army. This one has been reblued and a red king post front sight added. Bill, (thats a nice '58 you have!) Anyway, look at the length of the grip on your gun and the length of the grip on Coyote Nose's gun. I believe he has the Beals as the grip frame was shortened when the...

The New Model Army has the safety notches between the nipples and the Beals does not. The NM Army will also be devoid of any "Beals" markings. I know its impossible to see the gun, but thats me shooting a very fine 90% N.M Army Remington that belongs to my buddy Tom. http://www.hunt101.com...

Hey Sixgun! You shoulda done it! That 1000 fps was from a RAVEN!! From a decent .25 I am sure they would do better. Besides .. everybody should reload with a magnifying glass and tweezers at least once. Hey Jim, How do you like this for a picture? Next closest thing to a webcam. As I was reading yo...

This is all I use. I probably have a dozen of them. Made by Hunter. Model 110. Because I did not want to alter the rifle in any way, for this 1886, I simply put a slip-on butt pad and made my own little gizmo for attaching the sling swivel to the buttstock. The front of the sling can be attached via...

Man! There's that "neat place to shoot" again. I like those pics--its just so much fun shooting at rocks, etc in a place that is totally safe. :D BTW-put that model 71 on a bench with sandbags and it will hit those watermelon sized targets out to 500 meters.----easily---------------Sixgun ...

Yep, the pickin's sure are gettin' slim, even here in the East, where at one time, the only guns that brought money were engraved or special ordered guns in high condition. The 3500 on that '92 td may be a little on the high side but not outrageous. Now if you would just plunk down 28 nice crispy c-...

Years ago I reloaded cast flat points for the 25ACP ... a 48 gr. cast flat point bullet at 1000 fps ain't a powder puff. It is a pain reloading the durn things though. Jim, funny you should say that. (on reloading the 25) I was at a show yesterday and a dealer had a set of RCBS dies for the 25 for ...

I have carried a 1908 Colt from time to time. Functioned flawlessly. The real reason for a .25 auto is not the killing power but the psycological power----------nobody wants to get shot, even with a .22-----because it leads to hospital visits which bad guys don't like or there is that chance for a f...

I think 'ya did fine. A reblue job that is just reblued is not nowhere near as bad as one that has been buffed down an additional 1/4". Plus, you got a couple of special order features on your rifle that were made at a time when they were just about non-existent. If the reblue does bother you, ...

Not yet, but I know its going to happen as we Americans are capitalists at our finest! Gotta laugh at that "Marlin thing" though. I went down to the Essington show today and well, not much but a mess of overpriced Winchesters and Colts. A rusty no finish 1860 Army for $1850! An 1894 SRC in...

That's probably about right. Both CAS competitors and Cowboy silhouette shooters have found that the rifle commemoratives are good shooters and a good value, driving up actual prices over the $400 they were just a few short years ago. Griff is right on! Just a few short years ago, most commeratives...

Your bored? I'll tell 'ya what to do: Stop on over the house and I'll set you up with a couple of hundred pounds of lead and several moulds. I'll even supply you with all the food you will need, plus a Coke or two.

Be careful, you know what they say about "idle time".

Kid, You have created a monster. (but, a good one) I was just about that same age when my Dad put an M-1 carbine in my hands and said, "shoot". That was about 1962. I ain't stopped since. Oh, I like the target your using! I remember my Dad selling that M-1 a few years after I shot it. IIRC...

I have one of those and its a "safe queen" NIB. I have been saving it for a rainy day or a good offer to sell. Mine was a factory sample that was used at the S.H.O.T. show and has been D&T for a tang sight. Do you shoot cast with it? It just might give me somethibng to do this winter--...

While we are on this subject I'd like to pose a question to the SAA board of Regents. Since Colt does not chamber an SAA in .44 Spec. only anymore, Is the chambering of .44-40 that they do offer with the optional .44 Spec. as accurate as one chambered only in .44 ? Any thoughts on the .44-40 cartri...

I may be all wet here, and even though I personally have not had the best of luck in the reliability dept. with Marlin 94's in 44mag, I believe for this game, I would give one of the long barreled Marlin Cowboys with the octagon barrel a try, because I believe it would be the most accurate.

There's an item everyone missed when loaning a firearm. 1.) If the guy needs to borrow a firearm, most likely the reason is that he does not have one---therefore, he "might" be unknowledgable with firearms, yours in particular. 2.) If he does something neglectful or stupid with that firear...

Extremely rare. I don't mean to unfairly question you but......... 1.) Did the primer have a good dent on it from the firing pin? (this indicates a properly headspaced firearm or other mechanical problems. 2.) Do you know the history of the ammo as to storage conditions or age? I don't shoot much fa...

If its an old antique rifle, I don't like to center punch 'em or tap down the "wings" of the dovetail, although that does work good. Anymore, on a nice rifle I just lightly sandpaper the contact areas, degrease it and apply some epoxy. When it comes time to remove, a sharp tap with a light...

Ji- Yea, I will agree with 'ya on "Guns and Ammo" but with your recommendation, I'll pick one up, as I do like reading anything on the 45-70. For some reason, Guns and Ammo, along with Shooting Times has become boring and repetitive. Maybe its because we are learning more and most of what ...

Any of you guy's with a 1895 Winchester use a tang or do you just go with the reciever sight? Longhair, The only way you can put a tang sight on a '95 without the bolt knocking it back is by the use of a "special base" sight made by Marbles, but............They have not been made since th...

I saw this coming several years ago. Todays BIG American gun manufacturers cannot compete with CZ, Taurus, Uberti, etc. Like most American manufacturing jobs, the gun business is soon to be a thing of the past here in the USA. I truly expect Remington, Marlin, and Savage to go the way of Winchester....

A gun from that era should have no pitting (in the barrel) Like the other boys said, you did right. There's a truckload of those guns out there for that kind of money. Sometimes it helps that after he refuses your offer, leave him your contact info. You will probably get a call.-------Sixgun

Shawn, I would say your '95 shoots pretty good. Much better than mine as mine will not shoot jacketed. I have to shoot cast sized to .312. BTW, that sure is a late 1895. Not many came out of the factory in the 30's. Ravenman--Looks like a really fun place to shoot. I see you got steel and plenty of ...

Dastook, Chuck 100 Yd hit the nail on the head. I am 53 and all of my leverguns are equipped with tang sights.

I got in late here on this subject. I have never been big on the 45 L. Colt. Elmer & Skeeter ruined me on the 44 Spl.

There is a lot of truth on the Colt. First, If someone was going to drop me in Alaska with one handgun and I had to live on it, it would be a Ruger NM.
