as far as not being able to get as many guns as the safe is rated for try rifle rodz. I got mine from the internet and while it is not the end all be all for safes I can now get 21 guns in my 24 gun safe instead of the 13-14 I was getting. Just a thought. I wanted a "new" safe and put the ...

Gotta do two! One has been the holy grail since I was a kid in Montana(and I'm sure shrapnel has it LOL)a 1886 octagon full length mag in 45-70. The one I desire right now is a octagon barrel Marlin 1893 in 32-40, want one bad,,,but limited funds right now due to this falls elk and mulie hunt.

Rick stated in the show the rifle was from the early 1890s and in one shot it clearly showed on the top flat of the barrel W C F just couldn't figure out which one.

fordwannabe

Tonight on pawn stars they got an 1886 in and they took it to the range for a shoot off with some modern rifles. When they showed pictures of the target though all the bullets had landed sideways as they passed through the paper. I think somebody needs to slug a bore. My question though is could any...

fordwannabe

Now you have the money for a henry and several CASES of 22lr ammo.

fordwannabe

I like mine but I am surprised how much it kicks compared to the same load in a redhawk. I am thinking about a factory recoil pad just to make it a little more comfortable. Now before yall start the "sissy" stuff I shoot 45-70's &444's on a regular basis but i was thinking this rifle w...

fordwannabe

I played with a set up like that years ago. It would do a fair job off peeing through 22 ammo and make a lot of noise but a couple 25 round mags didn't last real long with that crank. It did seem pretty reliable though.

fordwannabe

Thanks guys, with the info you provided I was able to go to the local GS and talk with some idea of what I was speaking. I got a fiber optic front sight that sdid bring it down to just about the right height with this load. I am pretty sure I'm gonna get the tller ramp also because the reciever sigh...

fordwannabe

Hi Griff, yes it is.

fordwannabe

Hello gentlemen and ladies, I was out shooting my 1894 marlin in 44 mag for the first time since taking the handle off of it and putting a williams reciever sight on it. I bet some of you smart ones already know where this is headed but... I need a taller front sight. Can anybody tell me how to tell...

Well it was a good night lots of laughing and family fun. Most of the people there have come into our lives after he passed. My second wife and step son, a sister in law, and a couple brother in Laws, and all the nieces and nephews are 11 or under, but he is remembered. Thanks for all the replies, h...

APRIL 4TH Happy birthday DAD. He would have been 69 this year, but he passed in 2001. Today is a tough day but at the same time my family(4 brothers and sisters and Mom) usually get together for a good meal and some good "Dad stories" to celebrate his life. Yall didn't know him but I had t...

NICE FISH! I got a 20 inch rainbow in the first couple of minutes this morning and then it pretty much quit. I did have a couple of happy fishermen though, I made fried donuts on the bank of the creek and hot donuts and coffee, made for a good day even in the mist

fordwannabe

Hey Six, yes it is detrimintal to the accuracy, BUT I put a piece of inner tube around the tube where the bi pod attaches and it made it better. It isn't as good as on a bag, but it is acceptable...ish. The upward pressure on the barrel seems to be the issue. I had the stock glassbedded by an old gu...

fordwannabe

Yeah I know it's a old thread but I just had to post a pic or two of my girl. It is a real E2 stock I got severasl years ago and she is VERY accurate. Lot o fun too! :mrgreen: Course I am a Pennsylvania citizen who is clinging to his God, guns and religion, but that doesn't make me all BAD right. 00...

fordwannabe

And he will return your call. He's one of the nicest fella's you'd ever want to talk to....and when he's done with your shooter it'll put em where you aim it. Got a 38-55 I'm kinda partial to that he did for me.

fordwannabe

I had pretty much the same idea last year. I wanted a 44mag packin DA(and yes I have a super Blackhawk 4 5/8 magna ported, and a 71/2 redhawk) so I looked at the S&W prices and thought no way. I can do better than that....I felt up a bunch of revolvers and looked at features and blah blah blah d...

fordwannabe

Thanks

fordwannabe

Tedious? What tedious. Knock the barrel wedge out of it take the nipples from the cylinder, take the cylinder and barrel toss them into the super sophisticated high tech black powder revolver cleaner(dishwasher) and run 'em. Wipe frame and wood and as the dishwasher dries the other parts pull them o...

Help the ignorant please. I am looking at a vintage marbles for my original 1892 but not sure if it fits. Marked W1 is this the right one? Thanks

fordwannabe

The cody museum is the place to find out if it is a real factory custom gun or if it is a made up of parts, gun. If you send them the fee and it comes back as having left the factory as is, it is worth considerably more than if the local gunsmith in 1934 didn't have the right part so he put these on...

fordwannabe

Come on Dave you come HERE and expect us to tell you to take the cash???? This is enabler central right here buddy!

fordwannabe

I would take the gun I think it is shooting ok for the first load you tried in it. I think that 22s are the most finicky critter out there when it comes to ammo, I have had guns that would be lucky to hit dirt with one brand and shoot great groups just by changing ammo. When I get a new(usually just...

Done!

I shot my Pennsylvania deer this year with a 44-40 in a 1889 marlin and the deer didn't know it was an under powered cartridge...it died. I use the lee boolit sized to 429 and a medium charge of Unique with good accuracy no leading and a real pleasant low recoil, very fun gun. I have to admit I am g...

A buddy of mine is looking for a good load for his ruger number 1 in 300 win mag, for elk. Anybody got a good load for him, I'll do the loading and I know the rules ...START A FEW GRAINS BELOW THE LOAD STATED AND WORK UP FROM THERE AFTER CHECKING LOAD IN AT LEAST TWO REPUTABLE LOADING MANUALS. Thank...

First I have a bunch of knives. My favorite that I was stupid enough to let go was a hand made Dave Beck Tracker he made for me BEFORE the knife was featured in the movie "the hunted". However I have said for years if I had to go with one knife in the woods, or my butt was on the line a US...

I like the 300 grain xtps myself, with 41.5 grains of H4198...really accurate in my gun.

No Poop they don't pay well, especially those vidalia onions that have to be back in Lancaster Pa the next morning UGH.

fordwannabe

yeah me too....and I'm in Feb.

fordwannabe

I have a gun dealer in town with a Delorean and he's been after a flux capicitor for years, gotta show him this.

fordwannabe

I also shoot a 38-55 and my thought is..buy the longer brass and you can trim it to EXACTLY the length your rifle needs/wants. Much harder to make the short stuff longer. Tom ...and you will love that caliber it is becoming my favorite lever caliber. 9-10 grains of Unique

fordwannabe

There are only really two that haunt me, and one of them my brother has offered to let me have back but he really likes it so... The first one is a remington bolt 22lr 581 a friend gave to me as my first gun (and he has died) but i traded it away for some car parts to build a mustang in the 1980s. I...

fordwannabe

Well I learned sumtin today. I have the same front sight on my 1894 with the 26 inch round barrel, I thought it was something homemade. WHADDAIKNOW. Ok so can anybody tell me what rear sight would go well with it? The rear on mine is filed down to almost nothing. Thanks guys. Tom

fordwannabe

a SAA clone in 45 colt
and the 1923 vintage winchester 94 with the 26 inch round barrel in 38-55 that some guy brought into LGS on Christmas Eve, no it wasn't for sale. Yeah I got his number and yes I do have an extra Garand.

My Mom got me a DVD player for my gunroom and 2 seasons of RAWHIDE, my son got me a new welding helmet, and my wife got me a dillon 550 powder measure and a new phone(which I haven't figured out how to use yet). Tom

Thanks for all the good info. My purpose for the gun....I don't own one and should. I have a couple sigle actions but blackhawks,and a ss.

Hi All, I am in the research phase of a possible purchase with some of my tax refund. I held an original colts SAA this weekend and a couple of Vaqueros, not even close.

I agree with you Griff, the sentence from the judge will probably be light...can always hope theres a dog lover on the inside though

If I ever run into MLV I ain't sure if I'm gonna buy him a drink or kick him in the knee....that man has cost me a lot of money over the years, with him making all these leverguns sound so exotic and cool.
