If you have a photibucket account or similar that accept the format, upload then to there, then insert link into your post.

'Cause it's centered. Noah, that was funny!

Big issues are bearig length and crimp groove location. Match those up on another 170 grainer that does list Varget.

Can't do it, voluntarly... and if the gub'ment forced me to... they better take 'em all, my knives, hacksaws, nails, railroad spikes, my bow AND arrows, any fishin' line, electrical wiire, plumbing supplies to start with.

PM on its way.

Joe, near as I can tell its mostly just a lack of practical experience. Not a whole lot of folks have probably ever seen how well a 250-255 bullet from a 45 colt at a nominal 1000fps or less actually works on anything of flesh and blood. Much the same thing can be said for the 45-70, you can't keep...

Griff

Griff, come on now, you were store keeping all those years and didn't spend some time tieing knots? BG. Nope, other duties unrelated to rating were foremost in my skipper's instructions. Luckily, most involved shooting and blowing things up. Being constructive wasn't big on his priority list for me.

Griff

Also remember, it knocks down the DC requirement on long gun requirements to be either broken down or locked with a trigger lock device... that's HUGE! And their comments reqarding prohibitions against possession by felons and mentally incompetent are also significant in that both require a finding ...

Griff

I'm with Pete in that I like AA5744 for my .45-70 smokeless loads also, but Hodgdon's site has some good data also for leverguns. While both Hodgdon and Accurate only list 350 and 400(5) grain bullets, I'd just drop the 400 grain bullet data in there and work up a little. And both will answer an ema...

The Brady Bunch is already on the news declaring victory.... snatch the momentum while they can. Look for their increased emphasis on restrictions and hoops to jump thru, but I think they really see the writing in regards to bans. I think some folks in places like NYC, NJ, Elk Grove Village and thei...

Just thought I would put in this fellows opinion. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help small men by tearing down big men. You cannot lift the wager earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income. You cannot ...

Of all times for the TV to go on the fritz!!!!!

But the sound is great. Individual right is affirmed... but let's see how narrowly they ruled, waiting for the decision to be posted on their website: http://www.supremecourtus.gov/opinions/ ... inion.html

Griff

That's some special. I've always admired guys that could do the "knot" thing. I'm simply amazed at what's possible. Thanks for sharin'.

Griff

Great pictures, Kirk. Those 94 carbines are sure beautiful! Well... ok... so I'm prejudiced...

Griff

That looks nice. I like it! Awaiting the range report!

Griff

Oh, details, details... is that a new production, rebuild, who, what, where and drool... drool... drool!

Griff

gon2shoot, I agree, I like to learn as much as I can. I read the Marlin questions most, as I don't know about them the way I know my way around a 94 Winch. I also like to learn about some of the more esoteric leverguns, ones that I've heard about, may even have seen, but am really clueless as to how...

Griff

They are doable, I've done a couple. Took me a coupla trial "fittings" to get mine shaped "just right." I used some "hard face" rod for my horseshoin' so I won't have to worry about future wear.

Griff

Or you can order a Wild West Guns TRIGGER-HAPPY KIT.

Griff

meanc, good trades, tho', as was said, you let a couple of nice ones go.

AndyM, that line would never work on my wife, ever the practical kraut, she knows how many I already have that don't fit!

Tho' another safe is on the discussion table... mostly, I'm beggin' and she's saying. NO!

Griff

I didn't realize how crappy the figures posted as I copied them. I just wished I could have posted the whole page which was in Adobe acrobat form. I feel there isn't enough info presented to make an REALLY INFORMED decision. One piece of info I like to have is the number of tags sold for each zone,...

Sigh. Folks 'round here don't like steel. Hard to find anywhere that will allow a privately held, non-sanctioned gong, professionally built or not. "Liability" doncha know. :evil: You need to get out more often; try these folks; Michigan City Rifle Club , last summer I shot a cowboy actio...

Yes, Volcanic is the genesis, Winchester the "Henry Ford" of leverguns and all other "Johnny come latelys" are certainly not pretenders, but rather, attempts to add to perfection.

Congrats on the new sixgun.

I did not think I would like a 95 either until I shot one and could hit with it. For me, my 95 comes up just right with the sights on the target, so it is hard to miss with it.
BTW, the same reason that I like my 86 and 92 !

Always the best of reasons to like a gun. I understand.

I don't know if I'm depressed or oppressed, but reading Political Posts increases the feeling... (Remember, it's NOT paranoia, if they're out to get ya)!

I do it with somewhat of a circular motion, going down and forward at the same time, then rolling it back and grasping the grip. Not very practical, but I just do it to impress my four-year-old grandson. At that age, he is easily impressed, and I am his hero. .......until he splits his head open an...

The four on the right work in my .45 Colt SAAs and my 1911s. The far right one, required a little more ramp work in the semi. They are, from the right: LBT WFN 185gr., Speer Gold Dot 200 gr., Rucker 200gr RFN, RBCS 45-225-CAV 225gr. Griff, You sure got those babies all polished up! :D Is your KW (o...

Load selection 1st & foremost. Started with my 7mmRemMag. Then the .30-30 and .45ACP.

Griff

26" for my favorite one. Tho' I've got them from 16" - 26" with stops at 20" & 24" inbetween.

Oh yea, this thread is worthless w/o pictures!!!

Griff

Ok, I think that was '52 or so? A re-work was my first guess; but... you never know. And... how do you do polls now?

Griff

Well, I don't know either, but... you have to either start with a Trapper barrel, re-contour a std carbine or relieve the front band for it to fit. I've not seen many catalogs for this era, (I was mostly interested in skateboards, water skiis, & surfboards at that time), but... it doesn't mean W...

Griff

How many of you have seen a "Trapper" of this vintage: Pre- 64 .30-30 Trapper? It's 1st for me.

(Like to do a poll, but can't figure it out in this version... hint, hint!)

Welcome to the Forum. As stated above, Steve's Gunz . Or goto Marauder's Rifle Tune Ups . Interarms is out of business, so your best bet on getting the actual Owner's Manual will be EBay (I didn't, but maybe you're better). But... your firearm was made by A. Rossi of Brazil, who's still in business,...

I like to keep the majority of my available ammo stored in modular form. Since I own 0 (zero) rimfores, 1,800 would be excessive for me; but not so for other calibers. I don't keep less than 100 rounds for each bullet I use. I load 6 different bullets just for the .45 Colt and probably have another ...

Griff

Someone wise once said, "shot placement, shot placement, shot placement are the only three things needed to effeciently take game". I leave it at that. All our arguements abour this caliber or that, are just that, hot air, for without shot placement it's just lead (and sometimes a little c...

I can only answer two of your questions: *** Were the USRAC/Winchester M1886 firing mechanism to be converted to non-rebounding hammer, without tang safety, and with one-piece firing pin, would hammer down on loaded chamber be safe? No. *** I've never seen a tang sight on a traditional lever action ...
