Looks like 74 or 75 depending on the full serial #

If it's marked .357 good chance it will shoot it and .38Spl.
Congrate's on the new revolver.

Congrat's sound like a nice rifle, got any pics?

Like RSY said.
I was starting to worry about you 20cows, glad all is well and you found us!

I have a couple of the old style Contenders, Hobie & txpete is right they are a great little single shots. Been meaning to buy the rifle stocks and a barrel in .223 for a long range varmint set up, if I could find a deal. 30-30 Super 14 http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d71/SeaOx/Guns/IMG_0075.j...

I shoot 2216's but those are about an 1/2" short for me. Great deal though!

9422, my 1980 94 had the same problem, not as bad as yours though. Once you take the lower tang out of the receiver, you can lightly pull the flat trigger stop spring up (that lays on top of the trigger stop) with a small screw driver and carefully take some of the spring out of it. Go real easy bec...

Thanks marlinman93, I kinda figured the Savage was pretty rough to look at, but then again Savages usually are very accurate and with a little elbow grease I bet you could make it look good.
I do like the Uberti though, wonder what tang site would be correct for it?

I'm glad you brought this up, been meaning to ask if any one has any experience with these two single shots? Uberti, Rolling Block http://www.uberti.com/firearms/rollingBlock.tpl Savage, Stevens Favorite http://www.savagearms.com/30gtd.htm I think a nice little .22Mag singleshot would be a pretty cl...

I have a Yak that I ride all the time, hope I never have to shoot it

Outstanding!

I took my Wife to dinner and a movie on Sunday, I thought the movie was good and will buy it when it comes out on DVD.

Great project, post some pics if you can CaptainFinn! My Grandad, may he RIP, had plenty of money to buy a newer scoped rifle to hunt Mulies in Southern Utah, but he always packed around his old sporter Kraig. I remember as a kid hunting with him thinking why? I understand now Granpa :wink: http://i...

Nath is welcome anytime! I'll send him North after he cleans out the storage and critters

I think as long as it is secure, dry and somewhat cool temperature wise, you should be OK.
I picked up a locking metal cabinet and took over a closet in the house to store mine.

Great post Nath, always enjoy your writings and pictures!
If you ever make it to Nevada, me and LeverBob have the state covered from both ends
Keep up the spirit and take care of that fine lady.

Thanks for the post, very interesting! I seem to always load up the 170gr bullets, better try a load for the 150's and see how they shoot in my guns.

Joe, it is .5" tall from the top of the barrel, it can be filed down if needed. The site is .050" thick. I did the serrations my self, Skinner might do them if you ask, if not get a hold of me. I just cold blued afterwards. The rear is a Skinner in brass, I think it looks pretty good on my...

Joe, the one I have only required a little bit of material taken off the bottom of the sight, you could do it with a piece of sandpaper on a flat surface easily. His sights come with a flat face, I did put 40 LPI serration’s on the rear of the front sight to cut down on glare. http://i33.photobuck...

I carry either my 4 5/8" Ruger SBH .44Mag with 240gr XTP's at around 1400fps. Or my Glock 20 10mm with 200gr WFNGC at around 1300fps. I also carry full time, S&W 442 with Hydroshocks and a Glock 27 40S&W with Golddots. Glocks are ugly plastic pistols and I have sold a few off, but don't...

I'll have to pick that one up, thanks!

Looks great Grizz and a worthy project for a nice rifle!

Whats the deal with upside down 71's lately
How do you guys compare the new brownings to the originals?

I guess it is a post 64 model, they started at 2700000, he must have posted an added X in the serial# too.

I'm with Leverdude, looks like some one went to town with a polishing wheel and very poor job at that. Did you notice the post 64 loading gate?

Congrats! Great friends are few and far between.
Nice rifle too

Just signed up and reporting for action
