Congratulations on a really fin 1892, at a great price!

I don't know much about NEF's, but do they make another .25 caliber tha could be rechambered to the .25-35, if the twist rate would work?

marlinman93

Well I'd never put the Ruger #1 in the same class as a "new" Stevens Favorite! I'm not a fan, as I'm not into most the newer guns, but all the #1's I've seen were very nicely fitted and finished, and had nice wood too. Yea Rafter, I like a gun that looks good at first, and even better on c...

I think if you loosen the locking knob on the elevation, then push it in, the upright can simply be pulled out the top.

salvo, The little Rolling Block is based on the old Rem. #2 receive, and is a very high quality gun. I looked one over locally at a gun shop and was very impressed! Considering an original #2 in .22lr in minty condition will go $1500-$2000 they are a real bargain too! The Stevens is a real lowbuck m...

I like Scott's method for a singleshot rifle. For a levergun I like the front swivel drilled and tapped into the forearm cap. If it's got barrel bands, I like it on the band. Never liked the mag tube mounts.

Our church is very involved with City Teams ministires, which helps people living on the street get rehabilitated and taught job skills, with a Christian based ministry. We also have bible study groups on various topics, men's and women's groups, plus youth group. A number of other community assista...

Yes you are as crazy as she thinks, but aren't we all?

marlinman93

Extremely nice! Now you have a factory hand picked rifle, with provenance from Marlin to prove it! Sweet!

marlinman93

I have a fiend who collects nothing but these old sporterized single shot rifles. They do have a place in history, and I guess I should have one example of what they are in the safe!

Penny auctions with no reserve and two week length seem to be the way to garner the highest prces!

Thi law has been challenged and CCH holders have already won their case. Somehow school districts still think they can defy the law, especially as it pertains to teachers.
It appears that school districts think they own their employees, and can dictate their own version of the CCH laws.

No easy fix for any early Marlin mag tube, as just disassembling it can be a huge headache, but that shouldn't deter a guy who can work on Bzers! :wink: The inner tube follower has a pin that rides in the full length slot you see when open. It also has a hole at the end that doesn't show. This hole ...

I have to admit I bought this gun to return it to it's original factory configuration. It was a Special Sporting rifle according to the museum at Cody, Wy. Originally it had a #4 weight 30" full octagon barrel in .32-40, with schuetzen double set triggers, and XX stocks with checkered pistol gr...

marlinman93

Andrew, your front sight is a Marbles-Sheard.

marlinman93

Joe, In 1895 your 20" full octagon 1894 would have been cassified as a "short rifle" and as such would not have carbine sights. It would have come standard with a German Silver front blade (Rocky Mountain) and a buckhorn rear wit "harpoon" shaped elevator, as used by Marlin ...

Took the new to me 1885 Win. out last weekend and was pleasantly surprised at how well it shot! Getting it on paper at 50 yds. it shot 5 shots in one ragged hole. Moved out to 100 yds., and it put the remaining 15 rounds inside a 1" group from the sandbags. I put a 20x Litschert target scope on...

If you use felt, be sure it's wool felt! Regular cotton felt also draws moisture! Marlin used the regular felt on their two gun engraved commemorative sets of 336-39a octagons back in 1970. It's rare to see one of these sets that doesn't have corrosion if they were stored in their case!

marlinman93

I bought a cheap pair of gloves and cut the fingers off. Took the cut off fingers and slipped hem over my tang sights with a small rubber band to hold them in place. Works great and you get ten finger covers for a couple bucks!

marlinman93

Around town I carry a model 60 S&W .38, but I like something bigger for camp gun. I carry a 4 3/4" .45 Colt SAA around camp or out hunting. It just sits right, and I'm not concerned with concealed carry as I am around town. Never had to use it for anything but fun so far.

marlinman93

Argh!!!! No receiver sights on a nice old Marlin 1893 takedown! No holes in it for a receiver sight, and you sure don't want to be the first to install them! If it's late enough production to have the Hepburn sight holes on the top rear of the receiver, you could buy a repro from Parts Unknown and p...

marlinman93

Grizz, When I made the case for my Marlin 1893 two barrel takedown set, I went to the Goodwill and bought an old briefcase for a buck. I then removed the brass corners, hinges, and handle, and put them on my homemade case. I bought felt remnants from a local pool table builder and cut them to fi the...

marlinman93

I agree with Griff. If two identical guns were chambered for .38 Spl and .357 magnum, and both shot with .38's, the one chambered for that cartridge is often the most accurae.

marlinman93

Rooks aren't that expensive. I recently sold two I had for around $650 ea. One was a nice small frame Martini, and the other a small frame Comblain. One in .380 rook, and the other in .230 Morris Long. (first .22 centerfire) Both weere commecial actions, not reworked guns. I have a friend who is sel...

marlinman93

Nice gun, but I hope they will offer the American stylebuttstock eventually! I love my CZ American, but don't like the looks of the European buttstock on that one.

marlinman93

I don't worry about a complaint or two, if I read the response and determine the buyer was the issue. Especally if the seller has hundreds of positives, and only a few negs from whiners, or people with buyer's remorse looking for an out.

marlinman93

Funny, cause I was just starting to have no problems posting at the regular Leverguns forum.

marlinman93

If this is for real, I'd guess his coment about the buyers still being there is really nuts! Anyone who hears that the show wont have guns will surely blow it off, and do something else. I'd guess any table holders who sell guns at this show will also cancell. Maybe this is a antigun group's trick t...

Howdy! And Welcome!

marlinman93

Congrats Doc! Don't forget to post this at the regular forum too!

marlinman93

Ditto on the thanks! See you at the regular forum!

marlinman93

That's a great idea Kirk! I'll have to ask my pastor if he's interested in putting a few rounds downrange!

marlinman93

I wish I knew which of the two came first! Marbles and Redfield both sold them at the same time, but not sure which of the two came up with the design first. If I was to guess, I'd say Marbles, but not sure as my old flyers aren't dated.

marlinman93

I like your style Mike! I'm now changing my wording when referring to them as "liberal sensaionalists"! Hope you don't mind me stealing this!

marlinman93

That's an old Redfield and Western rear sight. Not made by Marbles, but by Redfield. They were made for numerous guns. The semi-buckhorn was the model 41, and the full buckhorn was the model 42. The catalogs used a code letter after the number to designate the gun maker, such as 42-R for Remington. ...

Is anyone really surprised that the liberal media would twist the results to mean whatever they wanted? This is typical of the kind of lowlife journalism that ABC and all the other network news liberals do.
Nothing new here!

:) I've had too many times of coming home with another new toy and no money... The success was in getting the money, getting home and handing my lovely wife all the money. So next time when I do come home with something else I don't need, there won't be any muss or fuss. Just an "Ok honey"...

After I quit I got a PM saying I was trying to tell Bill how to run his site, and that I was "part of the problem"! Now I'm not sure how my resignation because they instituted this antigun policy got from a simple resignation to me telling him how to run the site, or being "part of th...

Gun free zones should really be called "killing zones", as the nut cases know there wont be any resistance to their crazy plans. How many times have you heard of a nut case going into a gun shop and shooting it up? They don't because they know what MIGHT happen. It's the fear of what might...

marlinman93

Just clean it well, oil it with some Kroil, and check that loading gate screw to ensure it's snug. Should be good to go Joe!

marlinman93

Looks like they're quite similar in appearance, with similar length barrels, and straight grip stocks. Nice collection of .22 levers.

marlinman93

My initial attraction was to the caliber, as I really like the .32-20, but my other two are both 4 3/4", which I also love! Not sure I'd have ordered one with a 7 1/2" barrel, but at the price I couldn't pass on it. Not planning on competitive shooting, but I wouldn't mind doing some work ...

Unfortunately that seems to be the trend Mike. And also it seems that the more outrageous the internet "asking" prices get, the more the store and gun show prics seem to rise (for the same type junk). Not sure if there's an end in sight either, as I once thought there maight be. The longer...

Got a great deal on a Cimmaron Uberti SAA today in .32-20 caliber. I figured I wanted it as I've got other SAA's in .45 Colt, and .38 Special. This one is the only Uberti, as the others are AWA and a Great Western from the 1950's. Anyone had any experience with the Cimmarons in .32-20 yet? Mine is a...
