Joe, I don't know of a source for fitted small style forearms and buttstocks, except semi-inletted, which would be more work than thinning your's down. You could find some older non checkered stock sets on Ebay, then take them down to fit flush with the metal on your gun and refinish them. I've done...

I can only second what Ken said. I use nothing but smokeless in my old Marlins and Ballards, but with loads in low velocity-low pressure ranges and cast bullets. There was no metallurgy, other than seat of the pants experience back then, but that was very good. These old guns probably haven't seen b...

The 1888 Marlin looks very much like the later 1892 Winchester. I've often had someone ask me why I have a 1892 Win. on my table when I display my 1888. Of course it's always someone who's not a bigtime Win. or Marlin fan that asks that question. The 1888 was not offered in .25-20, and the 1889 only...

Yes I think th newer carriers seem a bit more meaty, but the rest of the parts seem about right. I've installed newer breechbolts into old guns that were missing them, and they work great. Of course the caliber is specific, so a .38-40 or .44-40 will need to use a newer .44 breechbolt, and the small...

Hi Joe, Lots of parts interchange between the two, but the new ones having a coil spring, vs. flat mainspring make the mainsprings and hammer not interchangeable. The screws will interchange, plus the bolt assembly, and carrier. Lower trigger plates will need to be d7t for the mainspring to go old, ...

"New" to me #3 Ballard
Got a very nice #3 Ballard today. Actually got it a couple weeks ago, but it arrived today! The #3 Ballards were made in .22 short, long, LR, and .25 Stevens RF. This one is a .25 Stevens, so it wont see much shooting time, as ammo is tough to find! Anyway it's been very well cared for, and has the ...

No way!!!! There's already too much competition there. I pass by there often when going to one of my clients, and I never do so without stopping. He sold a mint 71 Winchester just before I bought this 336. It went for $1100. I've probably bought a dozen guns from him over the last 5-6 years. All gre...

336A-Deluxe
Picked up this 336A-DL Sat. on the way home from the gun club. It's a .30-30 from 1951, and dealer let me have it for $219 out the door! It's the first 336A-DL I've seen for sale around these parts.

Dang, those are beautiful guns, Vall. When's your next Redding show? I probably won't make Reno this time 'cause I'll be travelling across NV the following Thursday and can't afford the fuel for two trips over the hill. In no time we'll be forkin' over 4 bucks per gallon, so we're seriously cuttin'...

Here's my opinion. I'd leave the metal as is. Just put the filler screws in. I'd send the new and old stocks to a good checkerer and have them duplicate the original pattern from the old stocks on the new ones. (first make sure they fit well!) Then I'd put it together and just enjoy it as-is. If I d...
