Alot of options. You could send it back to Marlin , if they make the length barrel your looking for. Get it rebarrelled by a gunsmith using a barrel blank. Done to your specs.Prices will start around $300. Get your existing barrel bored out. for around $200. No other mechanical stuff is needed since...

BenT

If so , how do you prep the metal? Do you get it real smooth or leave it rough? Does it go straight onto the metal or do you need some type of primer? Is it easy to work with? Thanks.

BenT

Thanks Griff, There is a gunshow in town this weekend and I'll be looking for a post 64 to compare to. I have only $20 into the pre 64 cap and tenon . So I'll probably stick with that. The post 64 forearm I got will need some wood taken off to get it down to the right size to fit the end cap . Hopef...

BenT

Just talked to a gentleman at a gunshop yesterday . Said he had one and it was a take down model. I need to own one someday. It's on the list.

BenT

That is the one that I ordered. If there is one long screw that goes from one side to the other. Shoudn't one side of the cap be threaded ? Also what kind of a hanger is on the barrel to secure it? I have the endcap with the tenon. But my forearm wood is for the post 64. It just seemed like a lot ex...

BenT

I like the lyman they are a little slimer than the williams. I don't notice a problem with my hand touching the sight , but you will notice it's there. I use a gold bead sight. But a post sight with a white line down works good in low light. Any front sight you buy , you have to do a little filing t...

BenT

That looks like one of those "EVIL TURNIPS" I'd shoot it if I were you !

BenT

My friends and I never drink untill we're done playing, Shooting , dirt biking, hunting, what ever it is. If you have to have a buzz to do it , then it must not be that fun.

BenT

I'm trying to put together an octagon barrel post 64 rifle. I picked up a forearm end cap at a gun show and it didn't fit ,seemed to small. I ordered a post 64 after market forearm cap from numrich and it is identical to the one I already have. I've been looking at pictures and it seems the post 64 ...

BenT

THAT SUCKS ! Now what am I going fondle when I go into that shop. :lol: They asked me last week if I sent you the pics. I didn't hear from you so I just figured it wasn't what you were looking for. That's a nice honest gun for it's vintage. I'm sure your going to be the only kid on the block with on...

BenT

I have a verity of calibers and lee makes it affordable to load all of them. That said I don't shoot large quanities of ammo . So lee works fine.

I use the dippers for plinking loads. Large flake powders like Unique are a little harder to get consistant scoops. Rifle I wieght the charge.

BenT

That's good news to hear he's recovering fast.

BenT

Doyle fits the Democrat stereotype. Antigun , pro tax.

BenT

My family has used an small old chainsaw. Remove the blade , put a chuck on the end of the output shaft and install a reversed turn drill bit. Been using it since the 70's. Cordless drills will work . Just not as fast. Won't be tapping this year , too much snow. Usually only tap every other year any...

BenT

Junkbug, It's the Williams fool proof that works. The lyman 66WB won't get low enough with out the windage adjustment screwhead hitting the receiver. The fool proof is wider and clears the receiver on the non mounting side. If the adjustment screw head wasn't so big on the Lyman it would work. Trust...

BenT

They might not always have the most informed person on the phone. But they always make good on it. I got a part the wasn't what I thought it would be today. I 'll ship it back and they will give me credit. I'll keep using them.

BenT

You got this far in life. Things will turn out O.K. Even if it doesn't seem so at first. Good Luck !

BenT

I have a 1974 vintage 94 receiver I want to refinish. I tried cold blue on one a couple years ago and it didn't hold up. I stopped by Lauer custom weaponry to check out Duracoat. Now Steve wasn't in but the gentleman there said it goes on as a pretty thick coat. He said more than 1mm thick. So I don...

BenT

It's hard to keep a gunshop open selling guns alone. The best small town gunshops are in the hardware stores. They have enough overhead to keep the guns around between hunting seasons. Also the big box stores are different based on the local manager. The Gander Mountain by me has outrages prices on ...

BenT

My neighbor bought one last year in 35 rem and wacked 2 coyotes during deer season. They are very mechanically cool. There is a model 14 in 32 rem at gunshop near me for $340 . I'm afraid to go there because I'll spend money I don't have. I need to buy one someday.

BenT

Glenfield have micro groove barrels . They are the same execpt for the stamping on the barrel and hardwood not walnut stocks. They usually run under $200 .

BenT

Thanks Gentleman , I'll probably try it . Just need to check out a few more things. I also don't read anything on there packages about limited amout of downloaded data.

BenT

If you reload don't use the 180 grain Remington round nose. My gun doesn't have a very long throat . The 180 's would shoot awsome , but that was because they were contacting the rifling. I found this out by unchambering a loaded round and it wouldn't come out . I had to tap it out with a cleaning r...

BenT

MAN , I loved my Corvair.

BenT

Sorry , I checked my Savage catalog and the model 25 is only in 223 and 204. I ran a cross a used handi rifle in 22 hornet last year for $150 and should of bought it right away because it didn't last long.

But another thought was to get a marlin in 218 bee .

BenT

I was just wondering how consistant they are for internet speed. Thanks

BenT

Springfield model 37 single shot bolt 22 with peep sight . Those sparrows didn't stand a chance.

BenT

The problem I had with the 22 hornet was price. Most manufactures put it in their standard short action rifles. CZ has a smaller action than their short action for 223 and 22 hornet .But the price was over $500 dollars. I beleive the same for ruger. The offer it in there 22 mag action. Now this year...

BenT

Thanks Gentlemen, I guess I'll stick with unique. I'll try your dipper suggestion Scott.

BenT

It doesn't say even on the IMR website. I'm just looking for a powder that meters better than unique. Specialy in 32 h&r mag with such small quanityof powder. Thanks.

BenT

Stay Safe .

BenT

A Badger will make a mess of a coon dogs face, I know that for sure. Don't see them too much. But I have been seeing a lot more fishers lately.

BenT

Gunshops around me are buying a lot guns right now from walk ins. I seen a 1892 in 25-20 octagon barrel on thursday made in the 20's and a marlin 57 in 22mag in mint shape. It sure fun to handle the old stuff.

BenT

My 96/ 22 has a 10 lb trigger pull. Bought it for the kids . They have to use 2 fingers to pull the trigger. I'm not sure if the after market 10/22 triggers are the same.

BenT

Thanks Gentlemen , that's what I kind of figured. The local gunshop does have a original 1895 in 45-90 . I think they want around $3000 for it.

BenT

I was reading about the 33 Winchester. I was wondering if a Marlin 45-70 could be converted to this. The OAL of 33 win is 2.795 and 45 -70 is 2.550 inches.

So the question is what is the maximun length cartridge the Marlin action can handle ? Or is this cartridge only good in the 1886 or 1895 win?

BenT

Your opening a can of worms Because I think everyone would want one. I'll PM with my addressif you want sent one my way. Thanks.

BenT

I come here seeking great knowledge.

Actually some gun info and some entertainment. I deal with B.S. on a daily basis the last thing I will read is a political thread. I come here to take a break . I like going back to work with a smile on my face.

GLAD YOUR STAYING JOE !

BenT

I paid $550 for mine 2 years ago , in 95% condition. Most accurate levergun I own. The price is in the right range. It's one of my favorites.

BenT

I would like to try a skinner peep for my 39A.

BenT

Your ramp sight should be tapped out with a brass punch just like your marlin. I bought one of those sights for the kids 22. For $15 can't go wrong. I tried one on my trapper and it works great. Like Pete said I wasn't too sure how it would work. But my eyes have no problem centering the bead quickl...

BenT

I've only found them at midway. Remington 86 grain. They have two crimp grooves . One for 25-20 and one for 25-35.

BenT

Iceman . Thats what I thought when I measured them , but I don't always remember correctly. I do know the sierra 200 grain have the crimp groove in the right spot. I measured them off a bullet board my buddy had hanging on his cabin wall.

BenT

That cold front is hitting us tonight. Want to go to Souix Falls next year . I hear it's worth the trip.

BenT

Under $500 you can turn it around and get your money back out of it. It's my favorite gun. Very accurate.

BenT

Lets hope this country keeps making fathers like that. Sounds like he was just DAD to you but he affected the world around him without even thinking about it. Thanks for sharing.

BenT

Tom, Can you explain the method of case coloring you used. Did you use oil and what color did you heat the metal to get the right case color? Thanks

BenT

It fits great I was going to use it this last year deer hunting .But I just have a hard time not hunting with the 356. I really need to shoot a deer with the 88. The local shop doesn't stock the 200 grain hornadys. I bought some 200 grain remingtons at a gunshow and the crimp groove is too far down ...

BenT

I put a after market 94 stock on mine. I think it might of been a boyds. I bought it at the bargain cave at Cabelas. I had to do a little inletting . But I would have had to do that even with a 94. The most wood had to be cut out for the coil spring . It was set up for leaf springs.

BenT

Iceman is the crimp groove in the right spot on the 200 grain hornadys? I thought the crimp groove on the 200 grains was set up for the 35 rem. Anyway the 356 will have more range than the 35 rem and 375 win. I've clocked my 356 at 2400fps with 200 grain. Not sure what the 375 will do with a 200 gra...
