You bring back good memories when we lived in the Sierra's......shooting off the back porch, on one's own property. You're a lucky man.

jdad

The history of old firearms.....if we only knew who, what, where, how, and when before we became the caretakers. That sort of stuff makes owning the old stuff so much more enjoyable.

jdad

I'm with you Hobie. I used to carry a 640 Centennial, but it pulled my pants down. :lol: I stopped carrying until I traded it in for the 642 AW. The grips are just a little too big for my Dockers. They just barely sit below the top when I have it in a pocket holster, but it's light enough to carry i...

jdad

Somebody here knows what this is.

Troy has done me right on 2 occasions. The tang sight for an original Marlin 1894 has a stem that is too high for the silver blade front sight. Troy looked the sight up in his book and it was one that could not be serviced by the end user. Apparently the barrel nut had to be changed out also, so it ...

jdad

Hobie, I have 2 collections. Marlin rimfire levers and (all manufacturer's) rimfire pumps. I don't think a finer 22 pump was ever made than the Winchester 61, but my Remington 121 comes in a close 2nd. Marlinman93 and I were at a gunshow a few months ago and I bought a nice 3rd Model 1890, 22 short,...

jdad

Just like Marlinman93 said, sometimes there are rifles listed, on the auction sites, with a BIN price that is too good not to jump on. This had only been listed for about 2 hours when I saw it. In normal room light you can barely see the flaws, but with the bright sunlight at least I know it has hon...

jdad

You're bringing back lots of good memories, from my youth and my son's.

jdad

...........and if that isn't enough fun, then there's smallbore "Hunter" and "Standard" class (scoped rifle).

40 meter chicken.

jdad

32-20 is my favorite CF caliber. I've had several Marlin's chambered in it, but currently only have an 1894CL, for silhouette, and a 7.5" Colt SAA. I load a Laser Cast 115gr on top of 9.5gr of 2400, for silhouette, and 3.9gr of HP-38 for the Colt.

jdad

It's the greatest "golf" game you'll ever play.

jdad

With the exception of once per month big bore and pistol caliber silhouette matches, I spend 90% of my time shooting rimfire. Shooting is becoming an expensive hobby. I can't imagine competing in IPSC or Practical Rifle, with today's costs.

jdad

Speaking from recent experience. I think, besides sales, that the tooling is worn out on the 1894CL. If you remember they had to scrap my 2007 and build me up one, on a 2006 receiver.

jdad

You'll be Master class before you know it and have a Grand Slam medal and plaque. Congratulations!

jdad

I think those 3 boxes were fired brass, not loaded ammo. I saw them in there last Thursday.

jdad

Just make sure you pad the muzzle and butt, of the rifle, with bubble wrap because they will slide inside the hard case.

jdad

Just an fyi,
I have 150 NEW UNFIRED winchester .307 cases for sale, in the classifieds.

jdad

I took advantage of a great BIN yesterday. The rifle had only been listed for about 2 hours when I saw it. Winchester 62, 1st year of production (1932), in 95% + condition!!...........$575. :D I looked at the pictures carefully for about 10 minutes and went through my reference books to confirm a fe...

jdad

Not if the BIN is a GOOOOD deal!

jdad

I've always used Winchester WLR's, with 748.

jdad

Marlinman93 was telling me that the new, post 1920's, (original) Model 94's have a different design for the carriers that has been problematic for some of us.

jdad

+1 for 748, with jacketed loads.

34.5 with 150 JFP

30.0 with 170 JFP

jdad

First one - Marlin 336C

Second one - Marlin 39A

jdad

The "cost", of enjoying our hobby, is the reason that 90% of my shooting is rimfire. Even garbage Remington Golden Bullets, something I refuse to buy, cost less per round than a primer does. My match ammo, Wolf MT, has an average cost (I bought a lot last year) of .065 per round. If it was...

jdad

Vall,
NO ADULT SIGNATURE REQUIRED!?!?!?!

I hope you didn't have a bad day before coming home to see the box.

jdad

The firing does float in the bolt. Is the tip broken off?

jdad

Glad the guys in brown who "lost" it, "found" it.

jdad

Buy a Volquartsen Custom.....problem solved.

jdad

A 44 wheel gun that you can shoot 3 different calibers in and since you're going to Alaska..........

jdad

I shoot at my club's indoor rimfire range, usually alone, at the outdoor rimfire range, alone or with some responsible BR types, or at the silhouette range, 99% of the time alone or with some other silhouette shooters or BPCR shooters. I will never shoot at the 100yd "General Purpose" rang...

jdad

I'm one of those people that are "mechanically" challenged. I admire your skills.

jdad

Thanks for posting that, a good lesson for us all!! I have SO FAR avoided this by charging all the cases with powder, checking them with a little flashlight, THEN seating the bullets. I am easily distracted and get out of sync every so often so I try to use a technique that will negate this as much...

jdad

9.5gr of 2400 that had become compressed, in the cartridge, may have done more than ring the barrel. I still can't believe I was in such a rush that I bypassed, this one time, looking down into the cartridges before bullet seating

jdad

Never start to reload 2 hours before a match starts. I had to load 30-30's and 32-20's, on a single stage press, and I usually do it a day or two before to prevent things like this. Here's what happened.......... I had about 1 minute left, in my relay, to get the last 2 of 5 shots off. "Click&q...

jdad

You're a lucky man to be killed off in such a fine manner! :D My wife has only made about a dozen meals, in our 21 years of marriage. She married a chef. :D I had 5 1/2 years of schooling, 2 degrees, then training with manic depressive, screaming, European masters. I got out of the trade 1 year afte...

jdad

"Penny" auctions or "No Reserve", with a low opening price, are the ones that get the most attention. These are the dealers that let the "market"(YOU & I :D ) determine what it's worth. Some dealers just keep posting, waiting, and praying that the market eventually ...

jdad

Here's everything that you didn't want to know.

I'm just the messenger. FYI, you have 60 days to register those evil hand guns.

jdad

How professional the dealer is, at marketing the firearm, is what matters when you are considering a high end purchase, on the internet. Compare how the other rifle you were looking at is presented to this one, then decide which one you would feel comfortable buying. http://www.auctionarms.com/searc...

jdad

Good job, Blaine! I used to carry a 640 Centennial, but my pants felt like they were falling down, so I switched to the 642 and hardly know I'm carrying.

jdad

15gr of 2400 under a Laser Cast bullet.

I'm like Al Bundy, married with kids. :D We went over to my parents house, had a great dinner, came home, I was snoring by 10pm, got up at 6:30, made coffee............9:30 the wife gets up, son is still out cold from staying up to 1am, so he could watch all the fireworks outside, and as soon as he'...

jdad

This is how Winchester should have made all of the 9422's.

Have you rented a U-Haul yet?

I don't think your truck is big enough anymore.

jdad

I have a "cap" gun. 8) That's what it sounds like, with CBshorts. :D Marlin Model 25, only made 1909-1910. It's a real fun caliber to shoot. Take a look at the roll stamp. http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c385/bnw439/Model25010.jpg http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c385/bnw439/Model25005....

jdad

We're in the same boat, but our son is 14 now. I've always had a dog in my life except for the last 8 years. We always went to the pound. My first dog lived 19 years. They never forget that you took them out of there either.

jdad

Ironically, both my grandfathers (one a gun guy, one not so much) had Model 74s. One thing I recall is that I quickly learned not to over-lube the bolt assembly. Being young and stupid once, I was shooting without eye protection and that rifle spit a good bit of oil into my eyes. :cry: Fair warning...

jdad

I had a "large" hole 74. They were late production rifles and do command a premium, with collectors.

jdad

I can "one-stop shop" with Midway once my list gets big enough. They ship fast and they have never screwed up an order.

Speaking of screwed up orders, don't get me started on Numrich..........

jdad

When I can afford it I use VV N110 because it will give almost the same exact velocities per grain weight, but without the flash, blast, and mess.

........but 2400 is still my go-to powder for pistol calibers. I've noticed no difference over the years.

Search found 3008 matches

Can anyone help this guy ID this levergun?

OT - I stumbled upon a 1st year (1932) Winchester 62

Almost destroyed a rifle and hurt myself yesterday.....

I may be a Marlin rimfire lever guy, but this is nice.......
