That sucks ! Kids like to talk . It's just a matter of time before they get caught. Even in a town as big as 3000 .

Our town pop. is 1200.

I would think for market reasons offering a caliber not available from Marlin would give them a market niche. Offering the same calibers as Marlin seems to be a tougher road to go. Unless there is availablility with getting Marlins I don't see them captureing alot of the market. The 30-30 is fine be...

I like it better.

You can get a Glenfield for less than $200. I'm not sure what kind price your vintage Marlin would sell for. There still is a lot of Marlins out there. I would leave your RC just the way it is and pick up a different one for a this project.

Welcome. First off the marlin 1894 and the Puma ( which is the Winchester 1892 design) were designed for pistol cartridges. The Win 1894 was designed for longer rifle cartridges and later changes were made to cycle the shorter cartridge. People who have used the Win will have to chime in if they hav...

Much easier to see who's posting topics at a glance. Thanks

The TW200 or I call it the "toad wart " works great around the farm . Totaly stable , it's like driving a circus bike. They have been around since 1987. I picked mine up for $250. My friend who is a mechanic at the Harley dealer drives a SV650 suzuki. They are a great around town standard ...

Ambracol , all I have to say is "respect the power". The last 883 I rode was a mid 90's model and it was like riding a early 70's bike . Bad suspension,bad brakes, had to call Scotty in the engine room for more power alot. The throttle was more like a volume control .When you cracked it op...

I'll be curious what Wisconsin does , since the DNR can't get enough deer shot in this state. The one way is for hunters to donate deer. Yes these are processed by butchers. So if there is lead in the meat it's a butchering issue. The donate deer program helps the DNR keep deer populations in check ...

BenT

Glad we could help!

BenT

Great news !

BenT

Here's mine I build over a year ago. The shelves are full now and I need to expand . It also hasn't looked this clean in a while.

BenT

I'll be watching for your range reports gentleman. I've been looking at Ranch dogs moulds for a while now.

BenT

The Kesslers are cool . I've have never run across one to handle though. I like the weird stuff. Nothing is more fun than shooting with guys . And they all look at you and say what the heck is that your shooting!

BenT

The 50 BMG sniper rifle is a civilian design that the military adapted. It was made by a bunch of guys who wanted to throw big chunks of lead long distances.

BenT

That's good to hear. My mother is a tough old German / Irish gal. She's going to be around a long time. Sounds like you mother is too.

Have a great aweekend.

BenT

I had to stopwatching it . It was to painful to see how clueless some people are. I started to wonder who was more clueless them or me for watching them. One show was enough.

BenT

There was a Marlin leveramtic in 256 in the paper a couple months back. It didn't last long . I thought about converting a Marlin 94 to 256 or just getting a 25-35 . That's farther down the list of things.

Good Luck!

BenT

Shooter , the product goes on pretty thick. It doesn't work good in tight tolerances. Steve Lauer loves his AR's and other black guns and that is what he designed his product for. After talking to him at his gunshop about his product , I decided it's not something I would use on a Win 94 receiver, t...

Browning 1895 in 30-06 , byfar the most accurate. It's the only one I have that I can make 2 out of 3 holes touch at 100 yards .

BenT

I bought some 125 gr fn sierra's for my 30-30 for this chore. Will work up a load this summer. Don't have any 44's , but I'm sure you'll find something that will work.

BenT

You are kind of chatty.

Try the http://www.shootersforum.com/ and do a search. Alot of info there. Ackleys loads in his book aren't that accurate on velocity.

Jim your heart must be in good shape if you made it throught all that.

86er , either they're working you hard or it looks like you have jetlag.. Great pics!

BenT

Well I made up my mind and decided to keep the fixed sight model in it's original configuration. The 6 1/2 in barrel just isn't as handy to pack around. I would like to keep them both but that just isn't fesable right now.

So I try to sell it localy for $300.

BenT

We have a Scheels connected to the Mall in Eau Claire . My wife tells me that there is other entrances to the mall besides going through Scheels. I think she's pulling my leg. :wink: I have both Marlin and Winchester. I don't discriminate. I like them both. If you want to scope it , Marlin is the wa...

Good deal next weekend is my season for turkeys.

My wife brought 3 guns with her when we got married. It was part of the dowry.

To me this is a recreation area. I'm not here to stir things up. I come here to relax , take a break and get info. I always approach this place with civilility.

Of coarse there is always the entertainment factor like the OT posts.

BenT

It's all about price point. I can get a hardwood Marlin cheaper than the Mossberg. I picked one up and it was what I expected. I thought it was put together well. It had arebounding hammer. But not a sloppy trigger like the latest Win 94's. But the shop wanted $400 for it when it should be in the $3...

OK here is the new configuration ,short grip on adj. sight frame. http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i311/skidblister/rugershortgrip.jpg Here is how it shot at 25 yards off hand. 3 shot groups. http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i311/skidblister/targetplates.jpg Now this is the best I could do .

Go to www.shootersforum.com . Look under rifle cartridges and there is a 307 thread. It is the most imformative thread you will read on the 307. William iorg seems to be the 307 guru.

BenT

The guy at the localshop shoots 32 h&r mags in them. So 32 S&W should work also. They seem to have plenty of steel in them to handle the pressure. They have the older czar ones and newer build ones up to WWII.

Tman , Wisconsin used to have to be out of the woods by noon. Turkey hunt in the morning , trout fish in the afternoon.

Range report , first of all I SUCK at shooting revolvers. Now that I admitted it ,it's the first step in getting better. :wink: Sorry no picks , wife has the camera today. I was shooting offhand at paperplates at 25 yards. With either gun I would hit the target only twice when shooting 3 shot string...

Last week it was snowing or 35 degrres and raining. Sounds to me like you had a better hunt.

Whats your first project? Besides making forging tools.

I was reading Ranch Dogs site the other night and I found it interesting all the bullet moulds he has the are the correct diameter for Marlin bores. The 444 is mould is .432 .So when I find a Marlin 444 I will be buying one of his moulds. But he is getting the correct diameter bullets for all Marlin...

Jason, back in 1988 I was looking for a new grouse gun. When all o/u were rugers and brownings way out of my price range. I ended up finding a Charles Daly field grade O/U new for $299. It was made in Spain and had no choke tubes , single trigger. It has been a great gun and still is. I have shot hu...

That's a pretty custom rifle for your lad.

I missed a marlin 95 45-70 cowboy for $300 3 weeks ago. I was the 2nd caller but another guy already got it. Some places get the weekly shopper late Sunday . I can't get it until first thing Monday morning. The guy who got it showed up late Sunday. I called at 8 am monday morning with a big smile on...

BenT

I don't know if the 35 rem and 444 have a bigger diameter magazine tube than the 30-30 Marlin. My gunsmith told me at one time that the Win BB had a bulge made at the receiver end of the mag tube because of the bigger diameter cartridge could not make the corner coming through the loading gate. I th...

BenT

The older 444's are 1-38 twist the newer ones that aren't micro groove are 1-20 . Which will help stablelize longer bullets. Either is plenty big enough for what most people hunt. The plain fact is that they are just fun to shoot.

A guy really needs both.

BenT

Some attribute isn't quite right. The only sure fire way would be to reformat the hard drive and reload software. Flush the toilet on the gremlins. You can only spend so much time hunting them down.

BenT

O.S.O.K. I just went down stairs and measured the twist on my 356 BB and it is 1-12. What does that mean ? I don't know . I'm just giving you some info. I think the 1-16 twist with be just fine and you should get a higher velocitys that way. I was going to do what your doing about a year and half ag...
