....fake beard and hair, and no mountain man stands like that with his hand on his hip. Trying a little too hard to be macho.

Worst I ever drank was Lucky Light. Tasted like a watered down Coors lite.

How about any scene that involves a Gatling gun in use. It's amazig how it knocks all the bad guys or Indians off there horses but no horse ever goes down. If the 45-70 can't knock a horse down, maybe I shouldn't use it on an elk hunt.

Jkbrea- If you are talking about swapping 1894 parts, I would be willing to swap you the straight-grip lever, lower tang, and stock for the same in pistol-grip. They did make a few PG 1894s, I think mostly in .44 Mag., and maybe .41 (?). If you are talking about the 336 family, though, I'm afraid I...

Great post! Beautiful rifle. Recoil pads sure help. I sighted in my 7mm rem mag and 45-70 a couple days ago. Still a little sore.

Anyone done it. I've thought about doing it to a Marlin I just picked up cheap. Saw this thread while searching. This guy did it without changing any parts. http://www.dirtydozensbunker.com/showthread.php?t=26952

My dep't recently allowed 1911 for on-duty carry. Most are using Kimber or Springfields. Don't really know which is better-it's kind of like Ford or Chevy. Most of the problems with them have been magazine related, I have a Kimber and use Wilson mags. Solved my problems. Our biggest stipulation is t...

Old school LEO's called their revolvers their "Roscoe".

Trapper/hunter cabins tended to be on the smallish side. Back when the tusk hunters were culling the Yellowstone elk herds, those boys built shelters so small they had to come outside just to change their minds. I've run across remnants of these "cabins" that were no more than 5 X 6 feet,...

Problem solved. Apparrently my FFL dealer was being overly cautious. I can't blame him. This is what the law says per Gunbroker site. Shipping Legalities Federal Law requires that all modern firearms be shipped to a holder of a valid Federal Firearms License (FFL) only. The recipient must have an FF...

I've done it several times. The gun has to be in a locked hard sided container inside your checked luggage and you maintain control of the key. Your suitcase does not have to be locked. The ammo can be in the same container as the gun as long as the gun is not loaded. The rounds cannot be loose. I u...

Can a seller ship a gun to a FFL dealer after a sale directly or does it have to go through a FFL holder? I finally found a deal on gunbroker that ships to California. I bought a Marlin 336 for $250 in great shape. The bad news is it arrived to my FFL dealer and they said they cannot release it beca...

I have the FA97 in .44 Special . I want(ed) a .45 Colt. Might still get one. Maybe a .41 Mag, too. I might even lose the Rugers and USFAs to do it. Haven't decided as I am opposed to selling guns... :lol: I'm in the same boat. I really want the M97 in 45 Colt with the 4 1/4" but I would have t...

I was also curious about the 454 caliber. I read you can shoot the 45lc from it but some come with a separate cylinder. Can the 45lc be fired from the same cylinder the same as.357/38 or .44 mag/44 sp.?

jkbrea

Since the recent posts on the FA revolvers, I've been hooked. I only found one gun shop in my area about 50 miles away that stocks them but only in 454 with the long barrels. I was leaning towards a model 83 45lc in 4 3/4" barrel or the 97 in .357. Does anyone here own a model 97. I was curious...

This was on the internet today about another old timer that passed away recently. Sylvan Hart is mentioned in the article. I thought it was funny that he rented caves for $2 a night.

Anyone have one or shot one? I saw it while checking their web site. My only experience with Henry is a Golden Boy 22. That has the smoothest action I've ever felt. Good to see someone cranking out a lever 30-30. While looking at the picture I noticed no loading gate. It loads through the mag tube. ...

Well, on Gunbroker I just bought a Marlin 336A in excellent condition with only 40 rounds fired through it for $250. I went to my local gunshop to get a copy of his FFL and he told me he has been having trouble getting Marlin 30-30's recenty. He thinks its because of the Marlin plant moving. I wonde...

I have a question. I am by no means an expert on leverguns or any guns. I own a couple Marlins and Winchesters, along with several other types of firearms. Recently while searching online for a Wincheser 30-30, I noticed that the Marlins are much cheaper to purchase than Winchesters. As a matter of ...

Clements Custom Guns, out of Virginia, I believe did similar work for me except the take down. Had a Marlin XLR 1895 shortened, crowned, extended the mag tube and put on a Wild West loop. It came out great. He posts pics of his work. Price was very reasonable.

Twice in the past week I bid on a couple pre 64 Win 94's and got beat out in the last 5 seconds. The second one was a '48 in beautiful condition. I thought I had this bidding thing figured out but didn't realize that after placing my bid, there was a"confirm" tab to hit. I hit it about a s...

At work I have had to use them a few times and was amazed. Waited 4 hours for one to arrive after a chase. It was very windy with 40 mph gusts. That bloodhound tracked for about a mile right to where the suspect was hiding. A handler told me that for training, they had a man walk to several predeter...

That will make a very nice hunting rifle with or without the letter. Have you shot it yet?

I have a Ruger LCP I've carried for about a year and so far no problems. It feeds well and is surprisingly accuate under 25 yards. It is very light to the point I forget it's in my pocket holster, I'm afraid I'll throw it into the washer by mistake. There is no safety, just load, rack, and carry. Tr...

The Winchester Classic Model 94 that I am familiar with was made from 67-70 and came with an octagon barrel in two lengths. 20" for carbine and 26" for the rifle. The shot very good. IIRC Numrich's has/had replacement barrels. I didn't know about the date. I looked it up on a website. Mus...

I just checked the Wyoming Game and Fish site and I drew a non-resident General tag, good for any elk almost anywhere. I am so thrilled.

I didn't want to hijack JMillers thread about his belt/buckle dilemma.

I was searching and found this site that carves rifle stocks. I don't think I would do it but I like the elk rifle. Maybe for a wall hanger.

I've taken handguns on several trips. The only problems I ever encountered were out of Syracuse. TSA had to call the local LEO to come look at it to make sure it was unloaded, even though I showed them. That took 45 minutes because they had to call one in. Then out of San Francisco, the airlie made ...

I beleive many dealers in most states are misinformed or maybe just overly cautious about doing business in Ca. not wanting to risk their FFL. Can't say that I blame them but from what a GB dealer I deat with out of Texas told me, they are missing out on a lot of business due to bad information.

I've been laid up recovering from a knee surgery. With a lot of time to kill I decided to look into replacing a Winchester 94 30-30 I traded off. I found several on Gun Broker but just about every one refused to ship to California. It is getting so frustrating. I've bought before and the only differ...

This is a 45-70 LE round I dug out of a large cow elk a couple years back. It wasn't a long shot, about 90 yards. It dropped her quick. The round went through a couple ribs and lodged just inside the hide on the opposite side. The crease is from hitting a rib. I don't know how they stack up against ...

Old No7, I bought two of the GS5's last year and gave one to my son. They are a blast to shoot. I put a cheap Japanese made red dot and it has worked great. As stated by AJMD429, since there is no recoil, it doesn't make sense to buy a $400-$500 Eotech. Another thing, according to my local gun deale...

I don't want to hijack the thread but I have a story to relate that may be related to this issue. A few guys I work with wanted to change from issued .45s to 357 sig when it came out.

I used a Tikka T3 Lite in 7mm Rem Mag. I used Federeal Premium 160 grain Nosler Partition. The shot was only about 80 yards at a downhill angle. She wobbled, walked about 20 feet and dropped. I brought my Marlin XLR 45-70 and was going to use it the next day. Wish I had it that day.
