I would have liked to shake your grand fathers hand and tell him thanks !

Good morning
The 70 series are real hard to beat in my experience. No Gold Cup right now but have a A1 model that shoots as good as I can. Made in 74 the year I ETS'd from the Pickle Suit experience. This one will stay with me a long time.

And that is what feedback is all about. Sometimes things do get by but promptness should be a big part of an internet seller.

Good Morning If you give Jes a call ( 541-942-1342 ) he will kindly let you know what he thinks about that rebore. He has done several "Unique" ones for me and so far I have to say his ideas and advice are good. He will not answer the phone but leave your message and he will call back. My ...

Greetings Excellent thread ! Good to read there is a lever 22 available that flat works. 3 months back a Henry BB in caliber 41 mag arrived at my house via the local FFL. I am impressed with the whole rifle and the way it works without having to do a "steve's" video on it. So far it will d...

Yes they did. There is a 44 mag for sale right now on GB. Ends in about 22 hours.
Not mine nor any sticks in that fire.

missionary5155

Fine looking 99 to me ! Mine is a 300 also made in 51. Fine shooter and great to carry about. Have a receiver sight also. Good addition. For a small glove size hand the 99 is about as good as it can be. Have a passel of Marlins and Winchesters and the only other lever rifle that carries better is a ...

Greetings When I want an idea about prices I go to Gunbroker and see what items have sold for. People ask the moon and maybe some one has a pockets full of moon rocks to buy with... but that is not where most of us fit in. I watch them off and on.. $1200 may get yours sold after a while. So it comes...

What is the diameter of that 44 Mag barrel ?
If it is a nice .428-.431 just have that barrel rechambered to 44-40 (44WCF). Maybe cost $50... That would be my plan.

Have a BFR 475 Linebaugh that would be my first choice revolver. But I would by far be opting for my Mossy 12 gauge with .735 round ball cast of wheel weights pushed to 1550 fps.

Greetings Well done on the waiting patiently. That is a nice looking 94 ! The post 63 Winchesters are good rifles and will serve you well till you retire one fine day. Probably long after that. The nice part is most collectors have little interest in them so they are still much more affordable. Mike...

Good morning
That is a heart grabbing way to receive a fine Winchester. Thankfully the family decided to keep it within the family. I trust you never have to part with it and it brings many a good memory to your life.

Having bought several older S&W revolvers over the years I agree.. this is a very nice well kept 5 screw. I do hope you never have to part with it again.

Greetings Bought a set of RCBS .33 Win dies (used) from a site a bit over a year ago with shell holder for $35 shipped. Had been using Lee's and decided to try the RCBS. No better or worse. I think the reason there are no more NIB dies made is that the caliber has been out of production many years. ...

missionary5155

Greetings I cannot imagine being at the mercy of others to have ammo for the "obscure" calibers I much enjoy to shoot. Happily I grew up in a home where reloading was normal if only with normal calibers like 38 Special. We read all the time of shooters "looking for 375 Winchester, 444...

Good to read it all worked out. Have a couple of those old double actions. Shoot the "thunderer" more as the 41's just seem to sing to me. Wrote Mr. Lanara's info down. That is a valuable commodity.

Howdy BigMike and welcome to Lever guns ! I have a 92 Winchester in 45 Colt but I am in Peru right now and do not have access to reloading book or the carbine. I used the Lee 265 RFNGC in my 92 and a Ruger Blackhawk for many shooting opportunities. That bullet will make your need. I personally stay ...

When you have an opportunity could you share the particulars on the barrel and lock. Those items are interesting.

Good morning Do not over look loading 3F Goex in that fine old caliber 40. That mold was designed for BP. It will bump up and fill the groove if cast with 30-1 or 40-1. Plus you will know the accuracy potential of that barrel. The Mold you are using may prove to be a might undersized for smokeless l...

missionary5155

Greetings My first was a 41 Mag. Still have it and more. Then the 45 Colts ! Between the two calibers have never needed any else. First BLK Hawk I shot was 1971 3/66 Armor at Ft Hood. One TC had a 30 Carbine Model. Our armorer Sp/4 Fred had cases of 30 Carbine "off the books" left over fro...

2nd Generations are fine revolvers. Plus one good shape only goes up in value.

That will keep you shooting a few more years. Extending the sight rearward sure does a lot to improve the bullet placement.
I like those Marbles with the ready to adjust windage. Have a receiver sight on our 99 in 300 Savage. Does make a fast way to sight

missionary5155

Greetings Another thanks for this post. Interesting to read about bullet feed. I am not surprised a LN (maybe LBT) would not chamber easily. I am looking to purchase one after the initial "swarm" settles a bit and maybe all the production bugs are tweeked out. Figure the caliber 41 should ...

Firing an 8mm jacketed in most any 06 action would make a mess of things. Ya here about these conditions happening off and on. Sure a good reminder to look twice when dealing with more than one ammo type on a bench.

Exactly why I sold all my 43's and stuck with 45 Colt and 41.... who needs that in between .43. Alone it does make an OK compromise caliber.

missionary5155

Greetings Good for Henry ! About time someone realized there is a market for a caliber .41 mag lever rifle. When I was in the market for a lever rifle that would cycle 44 Russian cartridges Henry was the only outfit who would answer my inquirers. Then Henry was the only firm who would actually give ...

Greetings That is a nice 1866 . Thank you for posting those fine photos. It would be a joy to be able to shoot one. Years back some one was making a replacement breach for these that had the center firing pin. Some have used 41 mag brass as a substitute but far better to buy the real "replaceme...

missionary5155

Greetings Here are a couple things to look at.. Is the barrel 20 inches or less ? Does the handguard measure 8 3/4 inches ? Is there a curved buttplate ? Caliber stamped on left side of barrel ? Not on top of barrel. If all that is correct it may be a legitimate short rifle and worth double. Mike in...

Greetings Last time up north there I was much more taking a Marlin 336 rebored by JES to his 405 JES (.41/444). Basicly a 444 Marlin tapered down to caliber .405 (groove .412). With a 350 grainer I would tackle any beast at 50 yards. With the 300's it as deadly on any beast the 444 Marlin will tackl...
