[quote="J Miller"]That is a sweet old 1894 Rifle. I think all the really good Winchesters went to Canada and us yanks just got the ho hum ones. When I look at all those American Auction Sites I drool puddles on the keyboard here. Real PITA for us Canadians to get any of that stuff. I reall...

Good luck on the new venture Iceman. I too have been laid off though the company seems to be trying to keep it going. I am a machinist and we make steel making machinery so the industry has been hard hit.First time in 35 years I"ve ever been laid off!! I hope things start to turn around soon. R...

I managed a 94 in 25-35 today. First one I've ever seen in a shop in these parts anyway. She was made around 1900 according to the serial #. Bore is good,, really good actually!!. Didn't look like much in the shop but when I got her home and cleaned it up I was impressed. Price was 678.00 all taxes ...

I put new stainless barrels on bolt action rifles part time. When a customer wants a finish similar to the factory finishes I have to bead blast them (glass bead) but for anyone who really wants a finish that won't shine or glare (hunting rifle) I use sand and get a little more aggressive. Win 92

Gotta love a man on a mission. Last year during our 2 week deer hunt I rotated between A 45-70 1895 Marlin, My browning Mod 71 .348 a Savage 99 in 250-3000 and a pair of 94"s one in 7x30 Waters the other a 30-30 Win. I did have my 32 Win special there too but that one is too nice to hunt with. ...

Thats a beauty!! Many years ago I sold some of a collection that had belonged to my Uncle on behalf of my Aunt. A man arrived at the door to purchase some of his stuff (REM 14 1/2 44-40 cal) pump gun and some assortted iron sights. He was driving a minty 56 Chev. Anyway after the deal was made he as...

Saw a deluxe with original bolt peep sell In Peterborough last year for 2500.00 (long tang) but the rifle condition was only 50% NRA condition as close as I could tell.

I bought a real clean one last year for 1000.00 I suppose Id do it again!!

That was a Browning Not a REAL one. Did see a local winny 71 in really nice shape go for 1200.00 though.

Another rifle followed me home this past week. I've been looking for one of these guys for some time now. I intend to try some cast loads if anyone has some suggestions??

she's a shooter now for sure!!

I had one of those side mounts. 20 years back.
I was looking through the peeps one day and forgot that it was there when I pulled the trigger. 30-30 was enough to cut me above the eye ouch!!

I have a Uberti 45-70 with the double set triggers and they are really nice!!. Winchester has brought back the BPCR in 45-70 as well though it s retail for 1800. The browning 1885s are well made if you can find a used one. Pedrosoli's also now have a highwall and I think they are a composite of Uber...

This is the one I think is prettiest. The main reason for that is the fact that I made it myself from scratch out in the garage. Actually I made 4 of them so far. They are indeed competitive in the bench game. Though the lever is a little funny the way it operates!!! :mrgreen: http://i257.photobucke...

I shoot benchrest rifle 6mm ppc and 22 ppc . About 10 years back I made my own dies to produce bullets in both calibers. Back then I could purchase J4 jackets with no problems but now it is a bit of a pain to get a hold of them. Gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling to have the makins for 20 or 30 thous...

Make sure you hold the gun you want to purchase in your hands.
I've seen some that were a little too rough for my liking and others that were good (not great)
This suggests quality control is somewhat inconsistent.
Otherwise they would make a great predator rig for calling!!

Iceman a close friend of mine uses his lever safety style 99 left handed with no issues. Over the years I've been amased at how you southpaws overcome so many of the handicaps that a righthanded gun world throws your way. My personal 99 wears a lyman peep.Ebay has them from time to time http://i257....

dry firing a rimfire will flatten the firing pin or damage what is behind it. I am quilty of dry firing many differant guns but I shy away of rimfires, guns with flat springs. and generally the more expensive guns. And a really good piece of advice is to refrain from dry firing someone elses gun. (i...

The sights are the Creedmore midrange Sillywet model. the gun comes only with the flip up rear ladder style and a tunnel front with inserts. I purchased it used though I couldn't tell if it had been fired as it was pristine. That model came out in 2005 with a 30inch barrel new ones now have a 32 inc...

Being a Canadian I feel qualified to reply. I've used a variety of knives over the last 30 or so years .I was given one of these Russel knives close to 10 years ago and it quickly became my favourite.

Had a buddy loading shotshells one time on a progressive loader (Pacific 12 ga) shells were dropping through the hole into a bushell basket and one lit up. A small bit of stuff had to be removed from his leg, Brass I recall. He stopped the two foot drop after that and had no more problems. Win92

welcome to the forum!!!
I have cast the 405HB Lee bullet and used it in My 1895 (1972) Marlin and it borders on too long when crimped in the proper position. Could be just my rifle although it shoots well.
I file the sprue flat and check the overall length to insure they will feed.

A nice EG. Look on the projection that the lever pivots on and find a small oval with a number and letter, an example would be 12D. This letter will tell you when the rifle was assembled. My guess is it's going to be a D which would put it circa 1952. JDL Oval says 19F as far as I can see Any ideas...

I was going for flush seating on the primers, checking with the ruler some are a little above. I use the RCBS priming press, and I did push pretty hard on some of them.
