Not the oldest or the prettiest or the rarest levergun I own but the the
one I grab to wander the trails or if something needs to go down hard it's my Marlin
LTD III 45-70.

Custom SBH and Marlin 94P are the most used.

I remeber reading somewhere the phrase the "Whole Nine Yards" came from WWII. Pilots returning from dogfights would say "I gave him the whole nine yards" meaning the full length of the ammo belts for their fifty cal machine guns being 27 feet long ( 9 yards). Don't know if it's t...

Doug,

With the exception of one, the USAA adjusters have been great. Just more computer time for us. If I were elligable I'd have USAA too.

The exception I ment was that they use third party adjusters.

I had the same problem with my Winchester Trails End and .452 Bullets.
Barrel slugged out .453+/-. Went to .454 bullets and groups shrank dramatically.

I was at our cabin in PA a couple years ago on an early spring tip with the boys. It was almost dark when I heard a cople ATVs stop out front and shut off thier motors. Just as I got to the kitchen I see two guys in camo running up the walk to the front door. I had my .44 in hand and asked what they...

Hard to beat wandering the woods and fields with '92. My 32-20s and the 44-40 I have
have accounted for a pile of woodchucks and other critters.

John,
those 30-30 loads sound like fun.

Looks like a great time!!

2ndovc, yes it has British proof marks. A while back I was hoping to buy a 92 made in 1903 off Kirk but it had to go through proof first, more expense and ugly proof marks on a fine old gun, so I reluctantly declined Kirks great offer of a 32/20. I then had to persuade the Police to let me have thi...

2ndovc

only problem I've ever had is with S&B brass. 7.62x54R consistantly Splits on the second firing.
I'm going to try Terry's annealing meathod in another post and
see if that helps.

jb

2ndovc

Very Cool!! Do foreign arms still have to have gov't. proof marks on them? I have my Dad's 1911A1 and a Luger that was probably a war trophy with British Proofs. I know the Colt is a Lend Lease pistol but I have seen commercial arms with European proofs. 94s in .30-30 are just darned Fun!! jb 8)

Poor Farah!

I even had a cat I named Farah. Big hair and very pretty!

I took this one sitting on the back of my Dad's boat in Puerto Rico
while he was working his way further South.

I'm getting old. Your son fired more out of that Marlin than I did out of all my center fires combined. I wonder if that's why I can't hit anything? Joe I was feeling it too. I ran through about 100 rounds of 45-70.. By Sunday afternoon I was looking for something that didn't kick so much. My shoul...

Finally got around to cleaning and sorting brass from the Indy shoot. That silly kid went through 140 rounds of .35 Remington shooting his Marlin! The little bugger is getting pretty good too. he pounded the snot out of the 100 meter pig and got quite a few hits on the 200 meter Ram. All off hand to...

Marlin 94P and Super Blackhawk get the most trail, travel, camp use.

My Glock 26 is with me more and more these days. Probably gets the most everyday use.

Only field shotgun I have is a Winchester Model 12 20 gage.

Hunting rifles rotate through three or four favorites.

IIRC correctly LSA is a Lithgow Small Arms rifle, made in Australia. The wood commonly used was called coach wood, it is an australian walnut, but not as strong as english or american walnut. FWIW. Good Luck. I thought it was London Small Arms? My 1910 is a BSA. It is London Small Arms. Lithgow is ...

The .233 pushed the .222 and .222 Rem Mag into obscurity primarily due to the fact that the .223 was so cheap compared to the others. In my opinion. I've also found the the .223 is more accepting of heavier bullet weights. My .222 Sako will punch out 1/4" 100 yd groups with a 50 Grn. Bullet. Go...

I'm sure that someone will be along that knows for sure but I thought I'd read somewhere that they're plated and not solid
brass.

I've read that a couple times now.
Can't argue with that kind of performance.

Really interesting rifle / cartridge.

What's left is for hunting season!

You know how it is. Never find what you're looking for when you want one.

I'm a big fan of the .222 Rem! My Dad gave me a Sako in .222 when I was about 16. I have taken many, many woodchucks and other critters. It has a old Weaver K10 scope on it and I've made one shot kills all the way out to 400 yds. It's one of those rifles that I know where the bullet's gonna go. Sinc...

Joe,

My Marlin 94 would shoot a 5 shot cloverleaf off a rest at 100 yds with a 300 Cast performance WFNGC
and 21 grains W 296.

Someone offered me a pile of $ for it and I foolishly sold it. don't ask me why..
