Sometimes, ya git the bear.

Kin the Remington LAR (lever action rifle) be far away ?

Pete44ru

[Reason long barreled guns produce greater velocity]

[This varies from about 12" for .22 Short, 16" for Long Rifle up to the muzzle for most calibers]

In fact, a 24" barreled .22 L.R. will produce less velocity than an 18" or 19" one will.

Pete44ru

GASP ! An 8mm, no - check that, a 32 MAGNUM ! (The .320 Marlin ? )

Pete44ru

How good are your reactions ? (I'm only a "bobbing bobcat")

My first centerfire rifle was a Remington 700ADL 20" Carbine in .243. The five deer I shot with it, before I switched to a .444 in 1967, never complained, or knew what hit them, either.

Pete44ru

Heck, Jason - You could drive down to the H&R plant in Gardiner, Mass - It's not too far way from ya.

Yep - Fellow Rhode Islanders made swords and Burnside Carbines, back then. It kinda makes me wonder what else's hanging around in some elderly folk's attics, locally. In 1975, a then very elderly neighbor of mine coughed up an 1871, factory cased, .320 S&W Revolving Rifle with three unopened box...

No Winchesters, just Brownings - Salt wood resulted from a process used on Brownings to speed up the curing time of wood...the salt would draw out the moisture and speed up the drying process, unfortunately the salt residue remained in the wood grain and caused metal corrosion where the metal and wo...

That was my thought, too, Don, when I wanted a Winchester 24" barreled .32 Special. Intead of paying for Model 64 Deluxe, in who knows what condition - I bouht a NIB Canadian Pacific RR Centennial commemorative for way less than half the money. http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-8/1056072/UPKX...

I bought a 22-gun, fire-rated Cannon, in which I can get 30 long guns, plus handguns, coins & jewery at Sam's Club for $800.

How about the Winchester Commemorative Collector's ?

The ones, with the price asterisked (*), are not available for sale - but the rest are.

Food for thought, folks: An empty chamber, under a revolver's hammer might prevent an inadvertant firing if the hammer was hit, say by a stirrup falling off a saddle, or somesuch other happenchance, but - what if said hammer was cocked just by being caught on brush, just enough to rotate the cylinde...

Pete44ru

In the 45-70, 300 grain slugs RULE.

No disrespect to anyone, but I sure won't be shooting anything heavier than a 350gr outta any .45-70, any more, no sirree, Bob !

Pete44ru

Nope, I'm what you'd call a participant in "blood sports", and only use my shotguns on live game and felonious morons.

Pete44ru

The 5D doesn't have a "vertical adjustment spring", either - no springs of any kind, for that matter, since both windage & elevation adjustmets are via grub screws which are loosened to slide the peep and then tightened to cinch the peep in the new position/place.

Pete44ru

Peeps can also be mounted directly atop the bolt.

This is an XS atop a Win Mod 95, but the arced top of the M92 would need a Williams WGRS, meant for the BAR.

Pete44ru

You should have gone to the Manchester, NH gun show last weekend - there were several available, at decent prices. Here's the next shows in VT/NH - I can vouch for the Concord show as being one of the better New England shows. Feb 9-10 VT Bennington, National Guard Armory February 23 - 24, 2008 West...

Pete44ru

Lemme see............Hmmmmmm - TWO guns, for the price of one and a half !

I like your math !

Pete44ru

Be sure to actually schedule some regular "down" time, and be sure you take it, come hell or high water.

Pete44ru

I, too, have had both - and found I was overpowering the light weight of the BL-22, causing unsteadiness in sighting, leading me to prefer the Marlin.

Since YMMV, indeed, be sure to try before you buy.

Pete44ru

Yer kerrect, Terry - 5D = $5 (once upon a time)

5D. I have both - and since I never readjust the FP's, I consider the extra $$$$ as wasted.

Pete44ru

The CBS has a function, Ji - It keeps you from wasting yore $$$$ on one !

I'm sure large strides have been made, over the last 100-odd years, in the metalurgy used, between the early & the later models.

Don't set an unreasonable expectation for yourself, by expecting target pistol sized groups from a single-action trail gun. There's no way any single action is going to be as accurate as a target auto, or even a DA revolver shot in single action mode - since the SA's heavy hammer fall will defeat yo...

I'm not familiar with "M1894PG", but I have an M1894P, which is a 16" barreled (ported), straight-grip .44 Mag. Mine's set up with an XS peep & front blade, and Weaver 2x28 Classic Pistol scope in an XS LeverScout mount. I've owned it for about 6 years, and have been very successf...

I would ask $495, because that's a lot cheaper than $500 :wink: - and let a serious buyer (not one who just shot me a lowball w/o looking at the gun) dicker it down maybe by $25-$50. You're probably already at the show, by the time I saw your post - so let us know how you made out. If it went fast, ...

[I was just wondering if anyone knew the smallest bore size for a production muzzle loader?] AFAIK, It's .32 - I had a T/C Custom Shop Cherokee in that caliber, that took patched .310 round balls. It was a bear to load the patched ball, and I was too lazy to take the time and find the right combinat...

And,the old one only looks like a Marlin design, but it's not.

The trigger travels with the lever, in the old Mossberg, among other things/differnces.

[The only thing that bothers me is that the Nosler Partition looks like it comes to a sharp point. If this is the case will it be safe to carry in my Winchester 94 tube ]

The Nosler .30 Caliber 170 Gr. Partition Round Nose is correct for the .30-30.

Pete44ru

[I would just like to know what it is that makes this Nosler so special and expensive.]

That sounds like the right decision, Mike - Nosler has been the Gold Standard, for premium bullets for over 50 years.

Pete44ru

Either the Williams 5D-94/36 ($35) or FP-94/36 ($59) - If you go with the FoolProof, be sure it's the side mount, and not the newer top mount peep. http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=583902&t=11082005 http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=...

From what I hear, it was a little more than fog. I saw an early report that the state was doing a controlled grass burn in the area, which added to the fog - but the SP "didn't think" it was bad enough to close the road. A few years ago, I was travelling on I-4 from Tampa to Orlando, and t...

Certain caliber's deliver an undescribable satisfaction to their owners - and also exhibit an uncanny quality for occasionally draining one's resources.

IMO, They only work so-so, and are only good as a play/substitute.

Wisner's makes RB parts. They were flooded out, over the Holidays, so I don't know what kinda shape they're in, now.

Nope - I couldn't find it on the rag's website. I heard it from someone who read the issue, and then only in passing.

Miroku made the B92 for Browning, but it was clean - no lawyered-up safeties, rebounding hammers, etc.

Miroku currently makes the Winchester 92's, but they have the tang safety's and AFAIK a rebounding hammer, too.

So, the answer to your question, jd45, is: Yes and No.

In 2009, as quoted on pp88 of the latest issue of Predator Xtreme Magazine.

I stand corrected - Thanks Gents - I know the CB safety as only on AE's, and when the AE was introduced, but since I've only bought a couple of later AE's (.444BB94, .444 Timber Carbine, & .450M Timber), which all had CBS's - I mistakenly thought all AE's had 'em. :oops: Wal, at least I was righ...
