Nice look into that job field. I applied to At&t for that same job......what was I thinking.

Thanks, Tom

CEMENTHEAD

I'm not a 1886 kinda guy.......however, that is WONDERFUL to say the least.

What does that beauty weigh if might ask?

Thanks, Tom

CEMENTHEAD

Joe it ended well, that's all that matters. What happened to the Marlin 35?

I hunt 90% of the time in thick, dark areas. I've found that XS front sight or GREEN fiber optic front for me......they stick out like a sore.."....." if you know what I mean.

Thanks, Tom

CEMENTHEAD

Good snag.

I buy old files at yard sales and flea markets for the same reason.

Thanks, Tom

CEMENTHEAD

Flat top the existing sight and cut a 3/8" dovetail in it. Then your options are limitless.

Thanks, Tom

CEMENTHEAD

:D :D Good day overall.... I went to the range today and lo and behold my friend Mickey breaks out a 1920's (950K serial #) Winchester in 30 WCF (30-30) with a curved butt plate and rifle barrel (24 or 26" ?). The finish was well worn, not abused. Everything about this rifle was a pleasure. The...

Thanks Gabby!

I'm not quite that eager to try it....I'll end up stitching my fingers together!...LOL

or the screws holding the forearm cap on are too tight...

Dunno, Tom

Thanks, Tom

Looks promising....especially in 35 Remington/200 grain JRN combo! WooHoo!

I miss Colorado!!!!

GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN !!

Thanks, Tom

Joe,
I would part it out. You'd probably make more money on it that way, than selling it outright with the bad barrel. Then you could look for another.

Or....you could talk to 20cows ( of puzzle fame) and see if he has a barrel layin' around he would swap or sell you.

My .02¢.........Thanks, Tom

CEMENTHEAD

Don't know about the Rossi's however Marlin doesn't recommend Blazers in it's 1894 rifles. We went over this one back in 2009.

Hope this helps. Thanks, Tom

Well, me being me, the first thing I'd do it pull the scope off of it and try it with the open sights. Then I'd go to all those things awp101 mentioned. Joe I have one of the Henry H0001T models with the Octagon barrel....unbelievable accurate with the open sights. If I do my part, I can dance shot...

Check your returns to see if they're blocked...(furniture, shelving, toys, clothes, etc..). Or check to see if you even have returns.... Don't laugh...a good friend's new house had the same cooling problem. Came to find out no return ducting...... :roll: Other than that, you might be on to something...

Ohhhh.... that is good !!!!!!

Shoot it and see if it's up to your standards.

You could fire-lap it.

And if those are not a suitable option, re-bore to 35-30/30. (equivalent to 35 Remington)

Thanks, Tom

Sweet grab on that one!

I actually prefer fiber optic fronts....

Thanks, and Good luck, Tom

Looks...... "ok".

Great cast though.

The young lady playing Mattie doesn't seem to have that "spark" like the original......

Dunno....maybe I'm partial to the original.

Snuck off to the range again today for a while. Made sure the Marlin 35 Remington was still sighted in @100 yds. As usual the 200 grain Remington Core Lokts printed "dead on" with an approximate 1.75" group......the usual 3 quick shots. :D I apologize for no pictures. :roll: So I proc...

I really hate the thought of that, even though I like simplicity.

Welcome to the forum Brad! Glad to see his legacy living on in you. I too, was bitten by the 270 bug. My first centerfire rifle was a Winchester model 70 in 270, with a Bushnell 4x scope on it.
