This is a continuation of an old thread i started a couple of months ago ( http://www.levergunscommunity.com/viewt ... =1&t=16633 ) when i was debating whether to have the proverbial hacksaw taken to my M94 or not ------- well, i did, after i saw a pic of Adironbackjack's carbine. Its 16.25" and now sports a saddle ring. The barrell end is cut in a recessed target crown. Magazine capacity has been reduced from 10 to 8, but 8 .44 mags is still a lot comin at ya.
Being a micro groove barrel though, it wont get any of the big boy loads unfortunately , many many people have instructed me that 240 gr or so is about max if i intend to actually hit something with any accuracy.
My wife saw a nice looking 'yote early this morning, and since i have a 9 lb. pekingnese dog to walk in the morning that i dont want to become part of the food chain , i figured i would top it off with 8 soft points. The little rifle feels "right" -- i like it, ---- the 'yote did not show its face though, but maybe next time.
Alas, i sigh when i think of how much i've sunk into this little rifle and it is not much less than a Winchester Trapper can be found for
, but now this one is mine alone and i think that is very cool ------- I might work on finding a replacement for the swingin' 70's era hooded sight set, but its not a big priority, as i dont know whether to put on something like Jacks (tang sight with soldered on front blade) or a modern sight like a ghost ring rear with a firefly front. Either one would be coolHere's the pics -- sorry- no feet, but i did get a shadow of my head in one of them !
