Welcome to the forum donniedee! We have several Texans on hear along with great folks from just about every state and several members from overseas. And yes pics are required
Welcome to the forum. It's a great place as you'll soon learn if you haven't been lurking. Pics are highly recommended. Good to see another lawman join the campfire. Watch your six.
Welcome, ... plenty of room around the fire, but sorry to hear of your Winchester problems ,.... if Marlins drool, then Winnies are rusted for being below them!
Seriously, nice to hear of some old levers being used and passed on!!!
thanks for all the warm and fuzzy welcomes guys, down here in dripping springs Texas the 30-30 Winchester still is the king for central Texas white tail heck i love taking out a rifle thats 91 years old lining her up on a pretty 8pt and letting her go watching as the buck drops.
thinking back on how many shes dropped over the years and how all have owned her in the past..... its a thrill after wards i carefully clean the bore shiny as poss reload her ready for another outing....

I went to boot camp, USMC, with some fellows form Dripping Springs in 1979.

BUT,NOTHING COMES UP TO MY SHOULDER FASTER. I SHOOT IT OFFHAND BETTER THAN MY OTHER, MORE EXPENSIVE RIFLES. your gonna like this forum.

Welcome to the forum. Sounds like you just picked yourself up a classic levergun from the good old days. Those old leverguns have character and history.

You're allowed to use yours on the job? I'm so envious! My agency does not issue or authorize any rifles. We have 870P issued to road guys almost always loaded with slugs. Welcome to Leverguns!
Winchester M94 30-30 (1980)
Winchester M70 Westerner 30-06 (1982)
Winchester M1 Garand (1942)
Too many others to list - hope to add more levers soon.

Welcome to the camp and most definitely sit for a spell.
always nice to hear another LEO found us and has joined we can use all the expertise we can get.
Glad to hear you found an old winchester and put it to work.
I have a few and can't wait to see if any look like mine
Joe Miller is our resident winchester lever expert if you ever have questions
Also you didn't say it but do you reload if not start, didn't say you use lead bullets get casting yes this site is like a disease with no cure. Ha Ha lots of worse things in life.
Glad to hear your sons are going to be shooters and hopefully hunters.
If you get into casting you need to get into Castboolits site

i did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hate computors, anyway more to follow, the src is the new baby shes made in 1919 30wcf, the scoped is my 8yr olds shes made in 1951 with a orig 51 weaver4x post scope thats clear as was new other is a colt 1911 45 goldcup series 70 with steerhead carved ivory grips with ruby eyes
whats the "best" bullet to use in this ol gal? have not shot her as of yet too hard to get to range due to deer season hunters. would cast lead be best? all shots will be in 50-100yrd range. thanks barrell is alittle frosty but still good grooves
