I dug this out...a like new factory d & t in .358 with a one piece mount.---6 https://i.postimg.cc/VvbvB7M5/IMG-8377.jpg Since you went through all the hassle of digging that out you might as well box it up and send it to me and I will send you some dead presidents. This will free up more space for...

Those weaver bases looks correct. The one piece base like in Sixguns picture do not work with the new shorter tube scopes. You can't slide the scope far enough back to get good eye relief. Shoot it the way that it is.

My fire starter is pine cones. I have 6 gunny sacks full in the barn to get me through the winter. I keep an old coal bucket full of them by the wood stove.

I had a 99 savage in 300 where the back scope base was not tapped correctly and was a little crooked. The problem this caused was the scope would loosen up after about 30 rounds. I solved the problem with a Leupold one piece scope mount . It uses the front two base mount screws and only the front sc...

Sourcing a barrel is the biggest cost. Watch Ebay and check Numrich for used barrels. Once you have a barrel figure about $100 to swap them out. But like others say you can buy a used 30-30 for the cost of this conversions and have 2 guns. I you want to shoot you 32 special reloading is the best opt...

Too bad Trump isn't going to continue being President because Face Book needs to loose it's protections from law suits. I have never used it, I am a anti social network person. Give me my guns, chainsaw and the good old outdoors and I am Happy.

BenT

I have the 16 inch barrel version and shoot 32 H&R medium loads that run about 1000fps out of my revolvers. I get just under 2 inches at 50 yards, But I have not really done any load development for this rifle. I have just been shooting loads that I already use. Part of the reason I bought it was to...

Looks like fun. Reminds me that I need to tear into the PTO clutch on the 460 utility. It doesn't disengage.

I was planning on buying a 6.5 PRC this year to play with and decided on the RUGER american. But I couldn't find one and then COVID hit so I don't plan a them making anymore anytime soon. So it went on the back burner till next year. But keep us posted on how this Savage shoots because that was my s...

8 1/2 pounds. It plants nice for off hand shooting.

BenT

I used that barrel on a build over a decade ago. You will be very happy with the accuracy of it. I used a pre 64 forend on a post 64 receiver, no issues. I had the pre 64 forend cap with a screw from each side, the post 64 has 1 screw that goes all the way through. My forend measures 9 3/8 inches fr...

NICE!! I like it when a hunt comes together like that. What bullet did you use in the 356? Where did you the butt stock cartridge holder ?

BenT

Excellent. If people would listen to MLK I have a dream speech. It has to do with the absence of color. But the last 10 years has been about our color is special.

I just moved to Minnesota in the mid 80's and seen one of these in a gunshop when looking for a used shotgun. I wanted the 22LR version of this so bad just becasue it was mechanically different, they were expensive. But I didn't own a shotgun and being in MN it was all about duck and goose hunting. ...

I use a french press to make coffee because it is less acidic.

Last Mohecken topic about cutting firewood brouht this to mind. I cut a lot of firewood as supplimental heat in the winter. I spend a lot of time in the woods Spring and Fall cutting wood. I found out years ago that if I don't have a firearm on me that is when a I see coyotes or skunks that need to ...

BenT

It happens. You can't go wrong with a 39.

Nice job! I having been looking into an old sewing machine for leather also. it would come in handy.

Sixgun, what country do you live in where you have to have your vehicle's brakes inspected for a sticker? Or is it like the stickers I would give my kids for doing a good job!

BenT

Married 31 years in June. Have fun with the kids and ask them if they have change for a $2 bill.

BenT

Pretty common procedure, my BIL got his done two weeks ago. It will be great to be able to see again. You got this.

BenT

One of my favorite games. Get an old gun to shoot again. Of course you took it to the next level with cartridge box.

BenT

It is nice to have options. I like the fact that Henry stepped up bringing alternate cartridges to leverguns after Marlin stopped doing it. I was thinking about buying a Long Ranger in 6.5 Creedmoore for my nephew. I would prefer one in 338 Federal for myself. It's not like I need another caliber in...

I bought one in January and like shooting it. It has less muzzle rise then other 9's and easier to get back on target. I like it better than I thought I would.

BenT

Deleting the bookmark and adding it again after logging in worked.

BenT

Nice find. The condition looks the same as mine in 35 Win. The 1895s are my favorites. Much better balanced to carry than the 1886.

BenT

I have been shooting my 22/45 with the heavy barrel for over a decade. It is very accurate and reliable. I can put any 1911 grips on mine. I use the pachmyers.

BenT

This is the first site I ever became a member of. I remeber that I was in Virginia for three weeks for work. Sitting in the hotel room one night and ran across this site and I thought wow here is a bunch of Levergun throw backs like myself. It was very refreshing. I have learned a lot on this site.

BenT

Loaded 500 rounds of 32 H&R last night and I think I might actually finish restocking the 99 savage.Been putting a thin coat of Linseed oil on everynight and letting it sit by the wood stove. Social distancing comes natural for me. Spent Sunday afternoon cutting firewood.

BenT

I have had 3 of them in three different calibers and never had any problems with them. I still have my 308 and it is one of my favorite leverguns

BenT

We have one in our wood duck house. The wife went up the tree to clean it out and the little guy was crouched in the corner trying to figure out what was going on.

BenT

Ruger 96 is the Starling gun next to the deck door. Plinking is done with Ruger 22/45 and Marlin model 39. I have plenty more to shoot but those are the go to guns.

BenT

Looks like a HOOT!

BenT

Simple Green and hot water in a Hornady sonic cleaner is what I use for cleaning gun parts

BenT

You don't need to take the bolt out to work on the trigger. I just replaced the trigger return spring with a lighter one and dropped the trigger pull by 2 .5 pounds. They use a very heavy spring to push the trigger forward for reset. I beleive I had to remove the rear pin in the receiver. Which has ...

BenT

I would look into necking up a 307 , 356 case to 375. It should fuction through a 94 action.

BenT

Corona virus is always served with Lyme disease!

BenT

Pull the tips off the bullets and try it. Take the bolt out and play with different angles of the carrier. It might be lifting the cartridge too high or not high enough. Its a fat cartridge so the angle has to correct to enter the chamber.

I have always had my land open to young hunters. Right now my wifes coworker husband and son were hunting public land with out much luck. I invited them to hunt my land and the boy hunted everyday and shot a 4 point buck and doe. Very excited for him. As far as hunting my daughter had this same prob...

BenT

My model 81 in 308 likes Rem 150 grain core locks.

BenT

The 375 barrel I have has front ramp sight not a dove tail, so that might be a better option. I beleive Jes can cut you dove tail for the forend cap.

BenT

The Win 94 BB 375 barrel measures .610 at the muzzle. So this shouldn't be a problem boring out to 38-55. It has a barrel band so it doesn't have the holes for the forend cap.

BenT

Hats off to Mike D. He was a great guy. I am glad he shared his time with us.

BenT

I bought a 350 Legend upper from Bear Creek Arsenal for $225 for a winter AR build project. At that price I can play with it this winter and see how it performs.

BenT

The Ruger PC carbine comes with a second magwell that fits Glock mags, so if he likes Glocks. The standand mag well accepts SR9 mags and I believe the Security 9. I have a SR9 that is one of the reason I bought the PC carbine. But I really like the PC carbine and recommend it to anyone. Plus they ha...

Nothing better than putting the sneak on a buck. It's a great feeling. Great picture and story.

BenT

I have Moultrie. They can be had starting at $50. I have used them for over a dozen years. The first one I had, the display went blank after 4 years. I sent it in and they sent me a brand new one of the current model as a replacement. So they stood behind their product and I have been buying them ev...

I use AA5 in all my standard pressure 32 caliber loads. 32 ACP, SW long,H&R, 327 Fed. For the 32-20 - 4.5 to 5.5 grains of AA5 with 115 gr bullet is a pleasant load. The accuracy is good ,nothing awesome, good for plinking. I will be trying Six's load of 4 grains of Unique and compare accuracy. I ha...

BenT

Like 2ndovc I picked up one of the Berretta model 81s that are coming in from Italy right now. Gander Outdoors has them for $220. What a nice solid little gun for that price. Fun to shoot. Found a used leather holster at the gunshop for $12 that fits perfect. I will use this as a woods walking gun f...

Happy Birthday Paco! Thanks for this website to prove that there are other people out there that like leverguns! I think I found this site in 2004 or 2005.

BenT

You could of at least crawled up the hill so it felt like you were hunting.

The next hunt out west I plan on doing is for antelope in Wyoming, never have done it. I just can't get any of my friends interested in going.
