I like Winchesters a lot, but I'd definitely buy the Garand

Poohgyrr

Whatever I shot best with. And for standard wheelguns, , probably a 4" barrel, but a snub can work. Here are two I'd prefer, (fixed sights work too).

Poohgyrr

Definitely way cool. Great pics, all of them..

Poohgyrr

Yes, our thoughts and prayers will be with you. God Bless and God speed.

Poohgyrr

The guy who built mine was out of Modesto, CA back in the 1980's, and used to be at our gun shows with a rack of rebuilt Garands and military bolt actions. Forget his name, but the business was Survival "something", and they moved maybe ten + years ago. Even his website disappeared some ye...

Poohgyrr

That sounds like a real good deal to me too, congrats and welcome. But be careful, this forum is full of guys always tempting you with pics of sweet looking Levers!!

PS: Where is that shop??

Poohgyrr

I finally took a pic of my one and only Garand. A Tanker in .308, built on a Springfield receiver, that will hit anything I can see, when I do my job. (Of course, I don't see as well as I did 20+ years ago.) It is a sweet, sweet "short rifle" and I wish I had more. The .45 Trapper Lever is...

Poohgyrr

Wow. Garands have gone up in price... There is something about handling and shooting one though; a good Garand is kinda like a good Lever.

Poohgyrr

Great pics, especially the closeups on the sights. Thanks.

Poohgyrr

The twist rate, overbore, and accuracy issues with cast have all been discussed over on the Cast Boolits forum ( http://castboolits.gunloads.com/index.php ). The guys seem pretty happy with their '92s and other Levers now. A lot of guys are happy with Ranch Dog's molds; and the custom mold makers co...

Poohgyrr

Nice pics guys. This isn't a you can only have one topic, for those who made that comment, I'm just interested in what you think is the perfect one. You can have as many as you want. I was just realizing I misunderstood - so I am staying with wheelguns, and picking the 3 1/2" .357 Magnum S&...

Poohgyrr

LOL, yup lots of "good" choices, some are better at specific jobs. For me, the little five shot J frames are tied for "my one and only" handgun simply because they can always be concealed. A good snub or 4" K frame .357 would also work for me. Any of these would be comfortin...

Poohgyrr

I'll take a tuned 16" M92 in .44 Magnum.

Then the 30WCF will go to one of our Levergun 'smiths for some work.

Poohgyrr

Done; glad to do it. Prayer works and it is always an honor to be asked. Family is very important. Our prayers and best wishes for you and your family.

Poohgyrr

The one by "Sean Householder"? It is clean, and I understand a favorite of one of the Infantry units over there - I forget which, it's in my work email. Yeah, it's great; a good song to play at stoplights.... Listen to the words.

Poohgyrr

Glad I put my bib on when I saw the title of this thread. Every one of those '95s looks great, thanks for sharing.

Poohgyrr

Congrats on that. Looking forward to pictures.

Poohgyrr

Two places to start are The California Rifle and Pistol Association, and www dot calguns dot net... The calguns website is good sized, with forums giving (unofficial) updates on legal info, and a section for buying & selling guns. CCW's are issued or denied by the Sheriff or Police Chief where y...

Poohgyrr

Prayers, and thanks, will continue. God Bless, and Godspeed.

Poohgyrr

I know there was a 20" octagon, checkered wood, red box, gold bead front sight and buckhorn rear, in .357 .44 magnum and .45 Colt; each was a "one of 500" run. This was maybe 7 or 8 years ago. Barrel was engraved "1 of 500". Tang safety. I believe they made a 16" .45 Co...

Poohgyrr

And the right grips can make a big difference. I had to try several different styles before figuring out what grips I like on my 640-1 (always gun).

Poohgyrr

Is your safe queen a Lever?

Poohgyrr

Somehow I don't think the Vikings worried about too much sword...

Poohgyrr

Well, this could replace the receiver sight planned for a big bore Winchester I want to get. I am still surprised at times with how well a good buckhorn/ brass bead setup can do. And then the iron sighted rifle guys (like Don) shoot way out there so it definitely can be done. (I'm not trying that, e...

Poohgyrr

Reading the thread on Dino's '92 reminded me that I keep reading about this rear sight, but I absolutely nothing about it. Looks interesting and seems like I need to learn what they are and all.

What can you guys say?

Poohgyrr

Congratulations on your M92 and thanks for the pictures. With a smooth action, those features, and looking good it sounds like I should look at one for me. How it feeds cast, from some of our favorite molds, could be another big plus. And that front sight looks stout; I want to see how it works for ...

Poohgyrr

Thanks for posting that - I didn't realize it. Thanks again, we're supposed to go shoot Tuesday and I want to try my 20" M92 a bit further than usual now. See how my old eyes do....

Poohgyrr

I know I have unintentionally offended folks in the past, and would not be too surprised if it happens again in the future. I hope to be able to resolve things like that, but for whatever reasons - this does not always happen. I am sure we have all seen this kind of thing happen. But not everyone ap...

Poohgyrr

It works for me now, and ummmm, there is another S&W Forum too - www.smith and wesson forums.com/

Just get rid of the spaces I added to the link...

Poohgyrr

I've already learned a lot from this thread and appreciate it - thanks. For myself and what I do, the 45 Colt & 30-30 are a lot of fun, both on the range and in the field. The cast boolits forum also has great information that makes these rounds even more useful. I would hate to lose the ability...

Poohgyrr

I have to guess they did it because of the 16" barrel.In any case, I like the 16" pistol caliber Levers, and especially that combination of crescent stock, fore end, and octagon barrel.

The "regular" Trappers are favorites too.

Poohgyrr

That looks like it will be a lot of fun. Congrats on that.

Poohgyrr

The thread on ".357 or .30-30......AGAIN!" reminded me of how much I have come to like the .45 Colt in Levers.

So, what would you guys pick, and why? (insert evil laughing smilie here)

Poohgyrr

Right now, the 16" .357 M92 with a tuned action, good wood, receiver sight, brass bead up front, rifle buttstock, and maybe in bead blasted stainless (or maybe not); because it simply offers more for where I live and play. Add a few chosen molds, and three semitrucks (one each of Winchester pri...

Poohgyrr

Has anyone shot one of these? I like this style.

Poohgyrr

Excellent! Congratulations and continued prayers. Thanks for sharing the great news.

Poohgyrr

You did well, congratulations on the Trapper and the price.

Poohgyrr

It doesn't have to be a 10gauge to look like tractor trailers should be entering and exiting. Looking down the barrel of a .38 snubby is scary enough to satisfy me! Looking down the twin tubes of a 10 bore would probably make me need clean undies. Me too, but I think we're a little bit more normal ...

Poohgyrr

you folks got me motivated, here is my sawed off double 10ga. http://s296.photobucket.com/albums/mm163/buckeyeshooter1/?action=view&current=10gadoublebbl001.jpg How many 00 buck pellets fit inside one of those shells? If I broke into someone's home and saw the business end of that pointed at me...

Poohgyrr

How I deal with this:

1. Stay away from anyplace where I can touch or feel a gun I don't already own.

2. Go shooting at the range, preferably with a kid.

3. Sometimes this works, for a while.

Poohgyrr

Regarding the original question, my current load is low recoil Winchester slugs, because I shoot those out to 25 yards regulary at the range, and home has two 20 yard stretches - I'm comfortable with how these group within this distance. And as posted earlier, I consider this to be a special purpose...

Poohgyrr

Shucks. I keep a 16" Lever in both .357 and .45 (Colt) nearby . Oh, yeah. Same for pistols too, although these days the .357 is likely an eight shooting moonclipped S&W. Same number of shots as the 1911. Same number of shots as the Garand too, but that's not a wimpy .357 or .45. Garands sho...

Poohgyrr

The title is calculated to wind folks up... :wink: .. That's what I thought you were doing when I read this title... :mrgreen: I keep the 870 loaded with slugs, but only plan to reach for it if I need that kind of artillery. The new home is built halfway into the hillside, making for a good backsto...

Poohgyrr

The Good Guys won and bad guys got their just deserts, and no foul language. This show is one of the reasons I like Levers today. I remember watching that as a young boy, on about a 12" black and white TV. Dad pulled the knob out to turn it on, and we waited for the tubes to warmup. The words &...

Poohgyrr

Good news is always good to hear.
Our best wishes, and of course prayers, for your Mother and all of your family during this battle.

Poohgyrr

I like the look of the '95. And for you guys shooting cast, if you are casting your own, which molds work for you?

Poohgyrr

Haven't ever shot one of these, and don't know that I ever will be able to, but I am curious. Does anyone here have one, or have shot one? What's it like, what can you tell us about it?

Poohgyrr

Absolutely. We have some of my Grand Aunt's cookbooks and several receipes for eggnogs. Drinking fresh eggnog, a good fire, a good meal, some fresh snow, and shooting Levers & revolvers is a great way to spend any day.

Poohgyrr

I remember $18/1000; and looking at what Biden and his friends were doing.

No matter how many I bought then, I should have bought more. Too cheap to pay what they want now.

Poohgyrr

LOL, yeah I saw the title to this thread and thought cool, I want to see a picture and hear about it, these are real nice Levers. Actually, the .45 Long Colt/Lever combo is so good I am "suffering" with that real ugly button safety thing on a 16" Winchester. Great round that can appro...
