Never had one fail, probably never will. Within proper working parameters, I doubt anyone here will ever blow out a barrel.

I've seen more banana peeled than I've seen blown at the chamber/reciever

Went this morning and had a great time. Took the Springfield GI model and Colt 1991A1 - just as a little tribute to the old/new soldiers Also carried my 1894c and Win94 Trapper in 45Colt. I gotta' say, those two are scary accurate. At 100yds with the iron sights both were cutting 1-1.5" groups....

meanc

I'm the kind of person that If I don't feel comfortable hunting with the caliber I won't buy the gun.

Out of those three I'd take the .357

meanc

I remember picking up a few of the Winchester 94 boxes from a gun store prior to the plant closing. Even got a couple directly from Winchester.

Three of them sold on ebay/gunbroker for $110+ dollars by themselves. A couple only sold for $75. Silly or not, I was happy they bid them that high.

meanc

Apparently photobucket doesn't allow you to make just one album public (it's all or none). So I have to link individual photos. So, here are some pics of the factory brushed chrome trapper. http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e307/meanc/win94/pix1147756718.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e307/me...

I have heard of them, never saw one. I did see was a Win 94 Trapper with factory Brush Chrome. Came with the box, hang tag, and insert that all listed "Brushed Chrome". I have pictures of a package I saw on Gunbroker, just have to upload them. In the meanwhile here's a pic of my Trapper th...

Hopefully I'll be going. Been about a month since my last outing.

Taking a couple of 1911s, 45Colt Trapper, and a 1894c. May run a few loads over the chrony.

meanc

I'm gonna get on the horn shortly here and see who I can pee off----------Sixgun Make sure it's a supervisor. And keep him/her on the line as long as possible. Do this several times a week and make certain they document the call. And always request a call back from someone higher up. Every time you...

Fingernail polish remover and cotton balls go with us anytime we venture into the woods.

Sixgun, file a complaint with the BBB. Call Verizon everyday and bitch/moan about it. Don't just give them your money. Make them earn it. Sprint hit us with a $630 cell phone bill for an internet/messaging system we never ordered. 4 days of continual calling and a nice derogatory letter to the BBB, ...

Since you reload for the 44mag already, why wouldn't you just go with a 44mag revolver and load your ammo down to 44spcl level?

meanc

Definitely one of, if not, the best western made in the modern era. Open Range and 3:10 to Yuma would run close seconds.

The old black and whites are still my favorites, though.

meanc

I've sold more than I've kept, but haven't sold anything I regret selling.

Since they were all current production model firearms, there are still plenty around and probably alot cheaper than what I sold them for.

meanc

Here are mine. Wish I could reload fast enough and find time to get out and shoot them as much as I like. Hard to not smile holding these. This is my BBQ gun; Springfield Loaded. I generally don't like stainless 1911s, but for the deal I got, I couldn't pass it up. After a day at the range, it easil...

meanc

Uncle buck, I think free floating is more of a consistency improvement which can give you better accuracy. It removes the stock from the equation as it can contract/expand in weather or from heat of the barrel which can affect the alignment position/movement/harmonics of the barrel. The more consist...

My 1957 Mountie's butt-plate had an abrupt run in with the driveway one day. And smashed half of it off along with part of the whit spacer. Ordered both from Marlin. They were over sized a good bit. So I did what Pete did. I traced the outline of the stock on a piece of paper and marked the screw ho...

meanc

I own the Marlin 1894M and 9422M and I've shot the Henry version, too. All three were equally accurate and fun to shoot. Haven't had any problems whatsoever.

Can't go wrong either way.

meanc

Rimfirecentral has more than enough info for accurizing them. Bedding the stock/barrel, working over the trigger, match ammo, etc... are going to be the most suggested since you've already purchased a barrel/stock. I've got three stock 10/22s that have only had the triggers worked on. With CCI mini ...

meanc

Mrv, Did you do any of the preventative measures found here? http://marauder.homestead.com/files/Marlin94Fix.html Every Marlin 1894c (three in total) all had jamming problems. None were user error or loose screws in any shape or form. They were all caused by the lever cam cutting into the lifter a t...

meanc

Don't own any uglies. I have purchased a few, though.

Some of my favorite firearms were bought ugly and dirt cheap. They all fixed up pretty again.

meanc

Saw a few at the gun show. The seller said he sold three that morning. Wasn't too impressed myself, but then I'd rather use my 22lr conversion upper for my 1911s. The trigger pull stays the same and the upper offers more quality practice time with it. Plus when I was done shooting 22lr I could turn ...

meanc

Like others have said... buy it.

Take a look at what the Marlin and Win 94 44mags are going for as a reference.

I've got 3 win94s and 2 marlin 44mags. To me the Browning is twice the gun at a lower price than I'd sell any of mine for.

I got my H001 a couple of years ago before the "Trapper" model came out. About a month later it became my Win-Henry youth saddle ring trapper model :lol: 16" barrel Win 94 dove-tailed front post sight Win 94 saddle Ring Win 94 rear sight Win 9422 front barrel band lopped two inches of...

Mine has run flawlessly and accurately with everything I've put thru it.

I'm thinking last year of mfg was 1988 with about 12k produced.

I've got 2.5x on my Ruger MKIII with the quick disconnects for the range or just plinking out in the fields at occasional targets of opportunity. This is my Redhawk w/ a 4x used for deer, hog, turkey, and the occasional coyote. A little too heavy for the quick shots... but when I have a few seconds ...

meanc

Outstanding report and results. Great shooting.

Thanks for slugging the barrel, too. That will be my next levergun for certain. Hopefully everything works as yours.

Thanks again.

meanc

OSOK, If you have the time and/or inclination... Could you slug the bore and let me know your results. I had one in hand a few months ago where the slug mic'd at .432" It was one with no safety, so an earlier model. Hopefully they've addressed that issue. Because at that kind of price I may jus...

meanc

I've shot close to a thousand of their 44mag and 357mag. Got them a few years back when the price was almost too low to even consider reloading for them. Thankfully I kept the brass though. :D Anyway, I had the 240gr JSP and 158gr JSP for shooting out of my Win94s. They were just as accurate and rel...

meanc

I've been looking for one for a long while now. My 9422 has been without a front hood going on 3 or 4 months now. Browning has discontinued manufacturing/selling them. The Numrich's site only lists an aftermarket that doesn't look a thing like the factory. Bob says he doesn't have any factory hoods ...

How's it going ab4ka?

Glad you made it here.

Darn near anything you'll ever need to know about levers (except how to stop buying them) can be found here.

meanc

I would really like to know where you people are seeing Winchester Trappers in 357mag for $350. I'd buy 10 of them at those prices without so much as a blink. I've got two and have been offered $600 ea for them. Check on the auction sites for what they have gone for between $550-$600. Even the "...

meanc

Has anyone tried shooting a 45LC in a marlin or winchester 410 lever rifle? I surely hope not. :shock: What happens? My guess is that the bullet would tumble. It would probably start tumbling right after the barrel separated into several pieces. A 410's bore is pretty much .410" A 45colt bulle...

Have someone else shoot it without the sled.

Down here in Florida we just turn off the air conditioner.

meanc

I've owned/fired several 357mag lever guns. Only two reside with me now.These are the only two that can cycle the 38spcls just as quick and reliably as 357mag and neither have had any work done on them.

What has been you experience, be it a Marlin, Winchester, Rossi, uberti, Henry, etc...?

meanc

Rihmfire,

Depends on the what the wife has planned for the Holdays.

If up in Alabama (as usual) then I'll probably be hunting there. When we get back to Fl there should still be a week or two left for the FL season, so more than likely I'll be heading up Ocala way a couple of weekends.

meanc

No levers involved here fellas, so click that back button now if you don't want to read it. :D It was a gorgeous day here in Florida. Just enough sunshine and overcast to make it perfect. So I decided to make the 25mi trip to the shooting range on my scooter. And when I say scooter, I mean an actual...

meanc

All my mag tubes are all full length. Familiarity and shooting characteristics of a lever that's hunted with the same way it's practiced with makes more sense to me. At the range I load it right up full. Shoot em off the bench, off hand, kneeling, etc... When I hike or camp with one, I carry a mag f...

meanc

Yes sir, that is for 2400.

Just so you can have for future reference here is a link to their pistol/revolver loadings

http://www.alliantpowder.com/reloaders/ ... ?gtypeid=1

meanc

Not a manual but, for a 225gr Speer JHP, Alliant's website specifies 21.4gr as a max load for a velocity of 1526fps.

meanc

LOL!!!

I get a message saying the site is down for routine maintenance.

meanc

I've got 3lbs left out of an 8lb purchase. 7000gr/18gr = 388rds x 5 = 1940rds So, that's appx. 1940rds of 158gr JSP that have made it down the barrels of my Ruger Blackhawks and Win94 Trappers. All in the past 3yrs. I just looked at all 4 barrels, comparing the condition/depth/length of the forcing ...

meanc

The only ammo I've found that can consistently shoot 1.5" grps and better @ 100yds out of my three 30-30s is the factory loaded Remington Express 150gr core-lokt.

So I guess the bullet/load that gives the best hunting accuracy out of calibers I have multiple guns for gets the nod.

meanc

Actually you can try Browning in Utah, they are handling all parts for the Win94.

The leaf spring on the lever is called the cartridge block. It is unique to only the 357mag levers.

I would actually get a few spares while you're ordering.

meanc

Find the ballistics from the manufacturer (energy & velocity from muzzle out to 200yds) then enter the weight of bullet in the calculator and start playing with the BC until the ballistics matches up as close as possible to the info from the mfg. I'm guessing .243 will be around 325 or so. So yo...

meanc

I'd start the charge at 19gr of 2400 under a 240gr JSP/JHP and work up from there.

I found that load to shoot clover leafs at 50yds out of 5 or 6 of my 44mags including Ruger SBH and Marlin 1894.

Not a real magnum thumper, but still powerful enough for deer past 100yds.

meanc

I do for the 9mm. My HD/SD loads, don't differ enough in recoil from say WWB or Fed ball ammo. I've practiced enough with the Federal 9bple and know it's POA/POI with my gun. Now, when I go to the range and shoot the bulk stuff, I don't ever adjust my grip, trigger pull, or manipulate the sight pict...
