The only comment I can make is that I've NEVER had happen with either a model 1894 or 94 WINCHESTER! :P I've had them jam, but there was always an apparent cause. YMMV. And it's not just limited to Marlins. As I've had my son's Rossi .357 Mdl 92 clone do similar things. Jam or spit two, or stovepipe...

Don't get me wrong, your idea is valid in a closed environment such as NASA. The only two NASA facilities I've visited have gates and guards at every entry/exit. It's not an area that is a mixed use, i.e. both public and private buildings and roadways. NASA's facilities are more like a military base...

I still maintain that the grounds for an administration change should be the gross negligence which lead them to forbid properly trained citizens from carrying weapons of self protection on their campus. They should be held liable for the loss of life. There is no right to take away the means of se...

I know lots of folks that swear by the Cimarron Ubertis. I don't own one, but, have shot quite a few and find nothing that would dissuade me from buying one if I found one in a configuration that I wanted. Depending on your intended use, I think you'll be very happy with it. If you're thinking of sh...

Griff

Forgot the other topic was going. My bad.

Griff

Very likely just a trend. I just received a 1976 Colt catalog and price list. Makes me wonder why I didn't buy one or two of the 1851s back then: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d197/sass93/Coltprices.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d197/sass93/Coltprices1.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albu...

mod71alaska,
I haven't been banned yet, but I understand you're in good company. I haven't visited in quite a while. Am using my kids computer as mine is in the shop. I hope to get banned as soon as I get my computer back.

Griff

Be on the lookout for: stolen rig and rifles.

See also the news bit @ KCTV 5

Be advised the display rifles have NO firing pins.

Griff

Knowing the type of low-lifes that hang around truck stops in just about any urban areas make them my least favorite areas.

Griff

I don't recall if the rules change for Indiana finally passed to allow them to use leveractions in such calibers. Your idea about the Minnesota Deer Hunters Association is a good one. Or other outdoor organizations. It may also help to show how other states allow their use.

I can't; but, can imagine having him in my cross-hairs.

Griff

You would be fine with all three. The 30-30 is probably the flattest shooter in the bunch. Gotta agree. If you're confident w/any or all, I'd take the .44 or .45 if ranges were going to be ~125 or less. I'd stick w/the .30WCF if shots further out were likely. Good luck, welcome and please share pic...

That's ok. You can make up for it by letting me have a shot if you ever decide to sell it!

Griff

Thanks. I've got some work to do on an old receiver and was planning on having that testing done so that I make sure my repairs were done correctly. Now I'm convinced.

Griff

Wow. You went and posted a pic of that .32-40 1893.... now you owe me a keyboard. I drooled so long over that pic my keyboard shorted out. Having to use a PC type with my laptop now!

Griff

Y'all are being far too polite.

Griff

Very nice.

Griff

Tis actually two, the link and carrier. Both holes on the right side have been peened. ?The link so much so that the hole has migrated rearwarrd & downward. Needs a little filling in also! Mucho malo.

Griff

Joe & Mike, I had talked with Colt1849 and IIRC he said he stays away from the post '64 sintered steel receivers. Val, have you done this with a Post '64? I have a guy that's willing to TIG the small repair needed, (weld up a screw hole that has become enlongated so I can redrill and tap.) But, ...

Griff

Does anyone know what type of rod I would use to weld a flaw in a post '64 Winchester 94 Receiver? Or where about's to go to get an answer?

Griff

Hanz, Keep soaking it, use some heat and work with the screws. Get it apart. Clean and derust everything. If the chamber and bore and action isn't in bad shape it will work. At least ... that's what I'd do. Me too. I've got one as bad I'm going to rebuild: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d197/sas...

Not my wife, she knows that when I'm lookin' at levers I'm only a credit card swipe away from sinnin'; she knows I couldn't have them women in the magazines if I was 20 again!

I'd say you have the photo thing down pat! Good looking levers.

The Central Coast ain't so bad, but many an Angelino have trouble breathing air they can't see! Hope your friend adjusts to the lifestyle. Don't forget to put him on Northern Tool's mailing list so he can their specials on snowblowers!

I've been doing some thinking along those same lines. Here's my dream rifle: Winchester 94, top eject, take down with 6 barrels. It needs to be in a rifle configuration, curved steel buttplate, nicely figured wood. I want the buttplate, receiver, lower tang, lever and forend cap color case hardened....

Griff

86er,
Those are fantastic pictures.

Griff

Was kinda neat. I suspect that he'd been planning that little April Fool's joke for a while. I mean, you don't just up and create a website in a day... or is it really that simple and folks have been getting ripped off for lots of money by it seeming more complicated that it is?

Griff

The Hodgdon Powder website only lists a 405 and 485 gr bullets, so it's not much help. But, would be a starting point. They list loads for both 3031 and 4064, but nothing for 748 in this cartridge.

Griff

Whereas I agree with you about the original Winchester M71, I just don't see the Browning copies as having that same... inviolate nature. I have a 1886 Browning rifle, that is just as it was received from the factory, with the only changes being it's no longer "unfired". However, there isn...

Griff

Ah, I see the difference. They used a professional photographer so the shooter and everything except the receiver of the rifle is blurry. Your photo has great focus and is very clear. Obviously an amateurish attempt to replicate the ad.

Besides, it looks better.

Check out Ruger's new almost clone of the Colt 1872 Open Top.

Gosh, and I thought mine was in rough shape. That's not as bad as some I've seen. I haven't used them, but I'm planning on having http://www.classicgunsinc.com do the metal work on the projects I'm working on. They were recommended to me by another gunsmith who sends them his long guns refinishing.

Well, Little John's Levergun auction is history. My BIL bought two 94 Winchester SRCs. Paid ~$600 for one with almost no finish, but very nice condition otherwise (yet missing the ring), the other was about 60% finish and good condition and he paid $1,000. He said that your average SRC and Rifle wer...
