Leverdude, yes I would like to replace the rear sight. Where have you seen them for sale?

Watch the auctions. I usually see them sans the elevator.

E-bay if they dont bother you.

You sure? I got what looks like the same one on an 1893 Marlin that I believe is original. Maybe Marlin & Win used the same ones.

Is Mossberg a union company? In America no company needs to be union. They can pay their workers the same rates as Rossi in Brazil or Miroku in Japan I guess. Who cares if they starve. :P Its easy to blame unions, but its not really that simple. If it were these companies would just chitcan them. No...

there has to be some 'regulation' and the second amendment does specificy "a well REGULATED......."; the states are give the right by law to 'regulate' firearms. They did not mean by well regulated that the militia should be armed with inferior guns & they didn't mean the states could...

Gangs of any denomination are a big deal in the US. All are dangerous, and contol so much of the underground it's mind boggling. That war on drugs and "victimless crime" isnt so beneovolent when we understand that those activities finance gang operations. We spend millions in the US on ot...

Thats not a bad idea at all. I'm not real fond of manufactured homes but it might be real doable to live in one on that land & as finances permit build what you want. I need a basement. If you get good contractors residential construction is fine. Its like everything else in that you get what yo...

Nice gun & good shooting Borregos!

I like the 89 Marlins alot & have 2.
I see those sights for sale pretty often lacking the elevator if your interested in replaceing it.

Leverdude

You missed Jims point I think. The reality is a no saftey gun isn't going to happen in America, or likely anywhere else any more. Theyre on the Rossi's & Jap levers too. Just how it is. I sure dont like it but wouldn't let it stop me from buying one of these if I were in the market. We need to s...

I'd say either renegotiate taking the cost of upgradeing plus into consideration or walk. I'd be thinking of tossing the agent too if he was pressureing me to buy something I'm nervous about. One thing to remember. Regardless of what anybody anywhere says, the agent is not working for you. They get ...

Leverdude

It looks similar but different. I dont know what that thing on top is but it looks like the lower tang has a shoulder like the upper. Probably just different enough they didn't need to pay royalties or whatever. Still, if its a decent gun & made here I'd buy it over an imported Win copy. After a...

Leverdude

Like Ted said, its not to do with dealers but individuals.
Face to face in most states you can sell long guns with no BS. If your a non FFL you can sell guns at ashow the same way, just dont happen much & has nothing at all to do with he VT tragedy.

Hobie, Does this look like McCain is against our right to guns? I don't think so. If you want to nit-pick some of his feelings on things like armor piercing ammo that's fine but it's not going to bother me or most of us if they did ban it. I have no need for such things in my area. I sure don't agr...

Thats not cool aid Blaine? :lol: These quotes I dont find real pro gun. Thers alot of people that cant buy a gun if its expensive, likely they live where they might need one more than a more wealthy person. But he would ban guns affordable to poorer folks even though it has zero to do with crime. I ...

Leverdude

I don't now, Marlins always just sort of looked chintzy to me. Maybe it's the reciever, maybe it's the wood. Look, It's just an opinion. I like the style of the Winchesters better is all. Didn't mean to offend. No biggie, I was not offended, just curious. It was the cheaper thing more than the rest...

Leverdude

Never gave it much thought before, but now both my kids are playing Violas & I find alot of it very good.

Leverdude

Yup, that's about what it would take for me to buy a Marlin. :P Not that Marlins aren't sound or decent guns, the style and craftmanship just doesn't come close. Then again, they are cheaper. Compared to what? Where I'm at a Winchester always costed more & craftsmanship wise they were about equ...

Leverdude

Cant you just swap out the decapper for one with an expander instead of buying a whole die?
I'm sure someone else here loads cast with a progressive.

Leverdude

I'm not familiar with progressives but it sounds like you may have to prep some cases on a single stage in a seperate operation. The 30/30 CB then doesn't have an expander on the decapping pin? I shoot gas ckeck bullets unchecked all the time from my 38/55. Never pushed them over 1500 fps & they...

Leverdude

Excellent! I wish him the very best in all he does!

Leverdude

Only been at it a couple years but heres my list.

30/30
45/70,
35 rem,
357,
44mag,
44/40,
32/20,
32/40,
38/55,
7mm08
Already have 25/20 dies but the guns not done yet & I need 38/40 dies for another one in the works.
Mine are all for lever actions.

Leverdude

I dont have 30/30 CB dies Joe but the ones I do have have a seperate expander thats made for cast bullets. I'd imagine the bottleneck dies would have a decapper expander & one that bells the mouth for cast. LeverBar, I'm a little confused. Are you seating a bullet BEFORE expanding the case mouth...

Leverdude

I recall seeing tanks & armored vehicles during Waco. Kinda suprised the FBI & ATF have tanks in the motor pool. Thats immaterial tho, the facts are alot of people died & nobody was held responsible. Its shameful & does nothing to garner trust in the Gov't., police & other LEO or...

Weapons dont threaten people. If the man uttered that statement you'd be nuts to vote for him. IMHO of course. Cant see how anyone who cares about RKBA could not vote for Mr Paul. Maybe he is nuts, but at least he's an honest nut. The rest may be honest as politicians go, but thats a mighty low stan...

Cant say I recall a war where we started rebuilding while we were still fighting it. Must be Bush's strategy. Our current actions seem somewhat comical if not for the cost in blood.

I just attacked it with steel wool to thin the blue & then let it rust a little. After it was a little rusted I attacked it again with the steel wool & now it fits the gun pretty good.

Hows that aperature work for you on the 22? I dont like them that far forward.

Leverdude

Its all mumbo jumbo to me but tax cuts always sound better than they feel.
Cant see how it could be possible right now to cut anything the way we're spending money. But, reality doesnt have much effect when a politician is useing tax payers money for propaganda.

Leverdude

I have one made in 1906. It came drilled and tapped and wearing a lyman sight. I like the lyman better than the williams. It isn't so big and chunky. I'm not sure when they started factory tapping them. If the wood has been refinished collectors will whine anyways. If you know you like peep sights ...

Says in the link they just burned on the 20th.

Anyway I wish them the best. Always had great dealings with them & have several pieces right now to fit that came from them.

Just for my curiosity, did anybody actually read the post I linked to? Joe Yup. The pistol ones are pretty much a roll crimp, but somehow they dont crush cases as easy.

I think the Texans had a round lever.

Leverdude, That was me. Only I sent it to you for free. It was a good deal for both of us. I'm glad to hear it works. That was after I had received the .32-40's. You fellows are clever. So, what is the die doing if I use a .30-30 LFD on the .321-23 calibers? Well thank you Sir, I sure apreciate it....

Leverdude

There is one who understands it & supports it as well as respecting it. But it seems folks dont find that a good enough reason to support him. Remember, you reap what you sow. We keep sowing our Gov't with powerhungry jerks that dont care about the constitution or the citizenry & we keep rea...

I bought, from someone on the old forum that I'm embarassed t say I forgot who it was, a 7.65 Argentine LFC die that he said worked on 32/40.
He was right it does.

Theyre not the same but I would use them.

I think your saying theres no elevation adjustment when its flipped down right? If thats the case you might be able to find a load if its close. You might end up needing a shorter or taller front sight if thats doable. I have a Marlin with the carbine sight & I filed it down until it was on. Alm...

I never tried it on a barrel I cared about but have got 2 off without hurting the reciever. One I didn't care about because someone else ruined it already & the other I wanted to try something & it worked.
I wouldn't try to instal one anyway. It dont cost much & smiths need work too.
