When I got on and tried opening a topic, it stalled and gave me the "500 error", but when I hit refresh, it opened right up. When I responded to a topic just now, it went fairly quickly. Thanks for all you do. Thank you! I'm seeing a bit of pause in replying also. Glad its loading. Will c...

Thank you!

Good Morning Everyone, I'm working on the page again now. Loading very quickly this AM. Online Support is saying: "Hmm strange, it runs quickly for me. Your vps's have been up for over 150 days. I'm going to do a quick reset, this will clear up any dead / stuck processes on the backend." N...

Hey Guys, working on figuring out what kind of bug keeps stalling the forum. My apologies for the issue. I’m working with the host. We have upgraded the amount of storage exponentially, pay for a better plan, etc…. Soon as I know something I’ll post it here. Meanwhile, thank you for your patience Andy

Folks are welcome to their opinions. They are welcome to voice them. However, everything we do has consequences. If all someone has to offer is negativity, there are plenty of other places where that is OK and expected. This forum has long been relatively friendly and a place where folks can come a...

. I don't know if you tried it, but I just use a lighter to heat/melt the ends of the fiber piece, and if done carefully the sight will seal-in and not move or fall out. I often change the color of my fiber sights. I keep some of these on hand - https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1852479451?pid=1986...

Figured I'd weigh in here... We tried to help Ralph and went out of our way to make things work for him. We have received 27 customer initiated email threads since the first of the year and did our dead level best to resolve all issues. Rob (not Robbie) made some phone calls, tried to answer questio...

The Single Six and Mid frame pins are in production as we write this. It will still be a few weeks I’d say. We have 600 pins of everything except the Old Army coming through. Just back from heat treat, headed to the center less grinders. Steady as she goes! Something for everyone soon… Thank you for...

Shoots well…..

Doesn't get much better than that!

Hello Levergunners, First, good to be back up and running. New VPS, 4 X the memory and capacity. Hopefully it will be SOOOOOO Fast us old guys can't type fast enough to keep up! How about a WHAT ARE YOU UP TO conversation? This can be hunting, shooting, tinkering, family or, "hey, pray for me&q...

Hello Levergunners, As you know, and THANK YOU to everyone who reached out to let me know it had crashed again, we have been down for about a week. There are a few reasons for that happening. Mostly, the number of accessing "bots" "spiders" "crawlers" hit a peak and the...

I dropped by yesterday to see if we were "up". Watched the snake chase his tail for 20 seconds or so and just went on in disgust. But dang, today it seems we are functioning! It is good to hear you olde pharts a going on again. 3 of the grandboys been joining me with levers and singles (f...

Welcome Jim (and all) My apologies it took me longer than anticipated to get this up and going. We have been working on some new sights and mounts. Skinner Sights is growing, we want this site to grow also. We have a tremendous knowledge base here that is more reliable than social media. Its been a ...

Absolutely! Sorry it took so long to get to it....

Hello Everyone, AmBraCol let me know Sunday night that the forum was down. My apologies. I wasn't aware. It's taken me a couple days to get to it but we (if you are reading this it's obvious) are back up and running. Nothing Nefarious. The North Koreans didn't hack us, Russia had not invaded, there ...

AmBraCol wrote: ↑Mon Jul 21, 2025 10:05 am I was contacted early this morning and I put in a message to Andy. He's on it, looking at an upgrade that should put this issue to rest. So if we go offline again, don´t panic.

Thanks Paul

Thanks for asking.

I’ve been in touch with the host and am exploring upgrading to a VPN which they say will be much better.

Thanks for the offer to pony up fellas. At this time, Skinner Sights is glad to sponsor this forum. It’s something we can give back to the Levergun/Shooting community.

marlinman93 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 18, 2025 9:30 am Thanks to everyone who got things sorted out! Maybe next time a heads up ahead of a prolonged shutdown might be a good idea?

We had no warning…. It was just a poof. Then an email letting me know it poofed. No way to put out a notice. Sorry about that !

Anyone else have one of these booklets when you were a kid??? I loved mine enough to have a reprint made. Enjoy! ”How To Spin a Sixgun” and “The Secrets to Fast Draw” by Daisy with Arvo Ojala In 1960 the Daisy BB gun company in Rodgers Arkansas published this booklet to promote their “Spitting Image...

Great Post Jim.

Good to see you at Holiday!

Hello All, As many of you know, Lever Guns was down for about a week. The shutdown was by the server host, some tweaks needed to be made, and I want to thank Dave Fagan for his expertise and willingness to make it all work again. Please give Dave a Shout out here with some kind words of appreciation...

Thank you Paul and David!

Hey there 348,

Please send me a PM and a link, I’d be glad to take a look at it.

Andy

Happy Thanksgiving!

While we were in the Carolinas filming a video “Craft of the Levergun” we had a chance to stop by the Mayodan Ruger plant and see how the sausage is made.

Very impressive all the way around.

Here’s a few photos:

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Greetings from Montana. Lots to be grateful for. To those that are hunting or will be hunting, Sheila and I wish you all the best success and happy times afield with loved ones.

I have no idea why this picture is sideways….

My dealer got the first one in from his distributor. He showed it to me yesterday and I foolishly walked out without it. Quoted me a price of only $1,000 which I thought was great. Did not sleep last night especially after seeing the crooks on GunBroker and other sites for prices from $1,250 to $1,...

Rossi sights prior to 2010 were about 10mm (larger than 3/8") and had an odd angle. After that date the size of the dovetail has varied from .410" down to .380" Many standard (Nominal) 3/8" dovetails will now work on the newer production guns while some still need one slightly l...

Sheila and I had a great time in Raton with our fellow Shootist’s this past week. What a fun time talking guns, shooting guns, putting sights on guns, looking at guns, fondling guns, assembling guns, cleaning guns, wait…. Did I mention we had guns there?? Being a Shootist is an honor we cherish alon...

Sheila and I were glad to catch up with JimT at the Holiday. We had a good visit and appreciate his leadership and passion for Leverguns.com

Thank you Jim for helping make this forum one of the best!

See you next year. Till then, if I can be any help please let me know.

Great to be with you all! Looking forward to next year. My apologies for the disorientated pictures…. No idea how that happens!

Check with Lee Hadaway at the Armsroom.com

He does good work, is well acquainted with leverguns, and UPS goes to his door every day.

Highly recommended.

Hope that helps!

In keeping with our forum rule of "This is a high-class place" I did remove the Polish joke. We know no harm was intended and normally we would all scroll on. Always good to error on the side of discretion. Thank you all for what you contribute to this forum. It's a great place to be.

The host server of this forum has been making some changes recently. Some functions may have behaved differently during that time. I just received the emails from Dreamhost today. I’ll look into anything that needs to be done on our end. Meanwhile, though I had no control over the circumstances, my ...

Some thoughts from Andy There are very few things you can hang on a Lever Gun that make it more useful. A stock lever action rifle is about as slim, sleek, svelt, and useful as it can be. Smooth lines, no protrusions, nothing to hang up, goes in and out of a scabbard or case, use around the easily, ...

I believe the Rossi quality has come up quite a bit over the past few years. For the price point, (around $700) these are pretty good. Picked this one up the other day to add to our test battery. (We sell more Rossi Rails than any other rail we make) Available here: http://www.skinnersights.com/ross...

Welcome Andy from another Andy (maybe just call me Tutt to keep it simple on the forum LOL). Anyhow, I've been bugging Paul about who was taking over the site, but I couldn't break him :D Glad to know its you, I think I have a subscription to your YouTube channel or FB or something.

Hello guys, I’ve been pretty busy building sights and keeping Marlin supplied, haven’t had a chance to drop in here and see how things are going. My apologies for that. Old Maine, the Gladiators are cool rigs. My wife has wanted one since they first came out. She wants it in Olive drab or the Gray. ...

Have removed the Barrel mounted sights from a 92 and a big bore 94. Never had a problem. never bothered with direction. Always used a Brass Drift.
