My preference is for a side mount Williams, but since Marlin quit D&T for those on the Cowboy, I went with the XS Ghost Ring sights on mine. I ordered it with a threaded aperture so I can use the Williams aperture inserts. The threaded aperture is a bit smaller than the standard Ghost ring that ...

New production in pre-64 spec, I doubt it.

ceb

Wow, don't get any better than that. What a gun, what a story!

I too am of the simple stick and string crowd, have shot longbows and recurves since 1970, my advice is to use the Kiss principal. I am amazed by some of the stuff on the market these days. I shot a compound for a couple of years, and found I could do quite well with just a simple straight forward r...

Well I haven't had the experience some on here have, but my first 1911 was a Colt Series 70 that I won in a pistol match in the mid '70s, I sent it to Wilsons to have some work done on it for competition work. Accuracy Job and trigger with Bomar sights installed. I used to have all kinds of trouble ...

ceb

I've owned 3 over the years, maybe some day I can afford to keep one.

I have the CMP brochure and will order one when I get back to work. One of my favorite rifles and I need one to set next to my Inland M1 carbine.

ceb

Dog gone it Nath, I only opened this thread to see yet another picture of that beautiful rifle of yours.

ceb

Know what ya mean Peabody, I was laid off the 14th of Feb last year, so coming up on the one year mark quick. Turned 57 last month. My problems the same. But the lords took care of me for all those 57yrs, don't think he'll stop now.

ceb

Dan 444 and jdad described it perfectly and I thought that was about the years they were made. I guess it was a 20" barrel it just looked shorter that that to me. This dealer didn't say it was current manufacture, just said NIB and it looked it. I remember passing one of these up 4-5yrs ago for...

ceb

I was in one of the local gunshops I frequent yesterday when I spotted this rifle in the rack. Dealer told me it was new in the box. 16" oct barrel. I thought Marlin had discontinued these some time back. Also, I haven't kept up with Marlin pricing lately, but they had this one tagged at $735.0...

ceb

I have both and am given up neither!!!!!

ceb

Mr. Murbach, I'd love to see a picture of that rifle.

ceb

If you can't find a pre-safety 1894 Marlin, the new ones ain't bad neither, my 1894 Cowboy is a bit heavier than a 1894C but I am pleased with it. I need to remove the safety, but thus far I just leave it in the off position and ignore it. Better hope rjohns don't repost pics of the slicked up '92 o...

ceb

Yep, we really would like to see pics!!!

ceb

Hobie, you just had to show them old Colts, didn't ya.............don't ya remember I've been laid off for a long while now!!

ceb

Man, good shootin. I can't do as well with mine with the K4 installed!

ceb

I hate the effects of all this global WARMING.

ceb

I'd made that trade in a heartbeat, congrats.

ceb

Sounds like great fun! I've seen more fox on your posts, than I've seen here in the last 10yrs. I think its 'cause of the coyotes. Do you not have coyotes there?

ceb

I don't remember a Selleck western I didn't like, I have those three and more. All are Great.

ceb

Thank you all for the information, I appreciate it. This gun has a walnut stock, it has a piece busted out of the top tang of the rear stock were it meets the receiver, but I can repair that and it don't affect function. For its age this gun is still very tight. I've never shot double triggers, will...

ceb

I've read about this before, if memory serves, this was run in Playboy magazine back in the '70s. Don't remember seeing it in Bowhunter magazine though.

ceb

Guys, I came up with a old 20ga Stevens 5100 shotgun, wondering if any of you might have a idea of when it was made or any other info. It is marked J. Stevens Arms Company, Chicopee Falls, Mass USA. It has 5100 stamped on the Rt side of the receiver. The left side has STEVENS and a bird dog scene. T...

ceb

One of my favorites.

ceb

Thats fine Joe, 51 goes through the college town of Carbondale, still only 25mi. Pretty drive through the Shawnee in the fall and if follow Rt 3 south along the river it can be even nicer.

ceb

Joe, if you make that road trip, look me up. I've lived my whole life within about 50mi of Cairo. Remember I've been there once but really don't know much about the place. If you come down, you'll probably use I 57, when you get to the 54 mile marker at Marion you'll only be about ten miles from the...

ceb

I just read that to my wife, laughed so hard it took 5 minutes to get through it!

ceb

I would go with the Browning, but make mine a 20.

ceb

Talking absolute minimum, a .22 rifle. My Marlin 39A would be my choice. Talking minimum for easily covering the most of my needs, I too agree with Doc. .22 rifle, the above mentioned Marlin .22 handgun, S&W model 17 or a Mark II Ruger 12ga shotgun, Model 870 Remington Centerfire handgun, S&...

ceb

Way to go, congrats!

ceb

Well I at one time owned a low serial Springfield. And I shot it, my understanding was the problem was in the unexpected happening, a overcharge or blown case or obstructed bore for example. Still it was in the back of my mind though, with good ammo it would probably shoot forever but...., I sold mi...

ceb

Welcome to the forum, and congrats on a fine rifle, you'll enjoy it. No problem whatsoever in shooting .38spec in that rifle, just clean it when you're done. Only problem I ever had shooting .38s in a .357 was back when I was shooting a lot of .38 lead reloads in my Ruger Security-six at PPC matches...

ceb

I bought my Rem 870 12ga when I was 18, about 38 years ago now. It is still the most used shotgun I own. Its been used on everything from squirrels to deer, it does it all. I like the 20 too though, I recently picked up an old Stevens 5100 SxS 20ga double. Even older than me. No finish left, but it ...

ceb

The answer of course is to keep that rifle and scope combo and then buy another for the peep.

You have a nice rifle there!! I love my 39A, a '63 model and a '57 Mountie.

ceb

There are a couple of "Piles" that wouldn't bother me if someone left them on the front porch!! Very Nice.

ceb

Oh yeah, a 240SWC ahead of 10gr unique, my favorite load in my blackhawk. For and even lighter plinking round a 200gr RNFP cowboy bullet ahead of 8gr unique is accurate and a lot of fun.

ceb

Deerwacker444, please know that the following is just my opinion and that I am a traditional archer and have been since before traditional was traditional (before compounds). I regularly get full penetration on deer and frankly I probably get in the neighborhood of half the kinetic energy that your ...

ceb

That there is more than just a nice buck!! Congrats and tell us the story.

ceb

I did the conversion on mine and like it fine, plenty bright and batts last much longer. However, for not much more than the price of the LED lamp for the 6P, I found a light I like much better. Its a Fenix, available from Brothers of the bow.com, smaller and lighter than the 6P it is also brighter ...

ceb

Mike, if I wasn't still laid off, we would have talked about that Colt. Always wanted one. Like all the others, it would be hard to go to far wrong with that unique load. should do all you ask of it.

ceb

I'll second the Keltec or Ruger LCP. I own the Ruger, and its a good little gun, less than 10oz and with a good double action only trigger that to me feels better than my J-frame Smith. Its easy to shoot 2-4" groups out to 10yds or so, with a much better cartridge. I used to own one of the litt...

ceb

Hey Doc, my doc wouldn't like it, but I sure think I will!!

ceb

Prayers said.

ceb

Now I wish you hadn't gone and said that. It's like waiting for a planet destroying comet to hit the earth and you can't do nothin about it!!!!!!!

ceb

Though my post count might not show it, I've been here for several years because this is the best gun related forum around. It is a class place. I've never done the bar room scene, so this place fits me to a T. BTT

ceb

No. 3 for the Model 17 Smith. Just a classic revolver.

ceb

Whats an ipod? And since the switch to digital, I don't know how to use my VCR!!!

ceb

Sounds like good sound reasoning to me, my Marlin .44mag was my first centerfire levergun, for much as the same reasons as you. I love it, it has done everything I've asked of her.

ceb

I am primarily a bowhunter, I shoot my longbow year round. I build my own bows, strings, arrows. Out of state trips, when I can afford them are bowhunts. One of my favorite pasttimes is to roam the woods stumpshooting. I love to watch an arrow fly. I love my leverguns, but here in IL I can only use ...

ceb

I have seen and handled though not fired one, it was in the rack along with S&W Colt Bushmaster AR type rifles. In comparison, I liked it better than the others as far as feel, sight picture, was concerned. Guess I'm just not a AR type guy though, I would have bought the Ruger Mini-14 they had o...
