marlin shooter.

I created a sheet metal patch and pop riveted it in place. I used an asphalt based patching material to seal between the patch and original metal, and to seal underneath it. Then primed it with a rust stopping primer and painted it.
So far so good.

My wife got this from her girl friend. I thought it was worth sharing. Joe CRABBY OLD MAN When an old man died in the geriatric ward of a small hospital near Tampa, Florida, it was believed that he had nothing left of any value. Later, when the nurses were going through his meager possessions, They...

rafter-7 If they are the same as the threads on the sight that's on the 94 bolt I have they are the standard threads as used by Lyman and Williams. Here is a pic of my 94 bolt sight. It looks like the sights I've seen on the 71s. http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o121/RellimJ/Win94Bolt_sighta.jpg Joe

Bleach ..........

, now that I'd have. Boy do I feel stupid right now.

And Baking Soda I got too.

Well, I"m all set then.

Touch up paint, fix the rust spot, then wax it.

Should be good for another season.

Joe

Did they make them in .243 win?

Rubbing alcohol, that might work, only I'd get drunk on the fumes. Weeeee Turtle wax bug and tar remover, that sounds like something I should buy to keep on hand. I'd not use the Naval Jelly either, except the part that's got the rust is a vertical surface and I don't think vinegar would stick long ...

Junior, That "white" stuff is a chemical that the Illinois Dept of Homeland Security sprays on the ground so they can track everybody. They do it once every year to check the migration of the local inhabitants. WD-40 huh? Why didn't you tell me this before I spent two hours scrubbing the t...

I've been parking my white Nissan under a nice big shade tree most of the summer. Much cooler and easier on the vehicle. Except for the fact this stupid tree dripped gunk all over it. I just "SCRUBBED" the entire vehicle this afternoon. Took me two hours by hand. I used special Armorall so...

Goat,

Welcome to the forum.

Your other Marlins are lonely, go adopt the 1894C.

You want it, you know you do. Just go do it. You'll regret it if you don't

If you'll remember I just got one of these for my birthday last month. It is an EXCELLENT buy. Looks like it has the same Weaver mounts mine does too. Although the pics don't show it, the box magazine is removable from the floor plate. A cool feature. The trigger is adjustable for let off weight. An...

I wish we could select multiple choices on these polls. "Usually" I carry my center fire straight walled ammo in loops on the cartridge belt. Rimfires in the small 50 round boxes, and center fire bottle necked in my pocket. Hobie, thanks for that link. I've already got several items on my ...

Gene,

Over on our home page: http://www.leverguns.com/ , there is a bunch of articles. There was a bunch of article in the One Sticky on the other forum as well. Don't know how or if you can get to any of them now.

Joe

J Miller

Not not no more, it's even now.

Joe

J Miller

There are forums which REQUIRE that you use your real name. How would you all feel about that?

Suites me just fine. I've been using J Miller since day one.

Hopefully though we won't loose our post count. I like that big number. I never count it anymore but I don't wanna loose 'em.

Joe

Not only didn't I copy it, I missed it completely.

I was just sitting and thinking today, I'd just read the thread about the Hornady Leverevolution ammo and how it works, when a horrible thought came to mind. There are some folks out there that will see the pointed bullets on this ammo and never stop to THINK there is something different about them....

J Miller

TooTech, You'll have to loosen and remove the locking knob and probably the screw in the center of it, that goes through the left (vertical) side of the aperture bar, into the sight base. Then using the elevation knob raise the elevation till the aperture bar is free. Under that you'll see two small...

The 45 ACP ammo is Military Ball. 230gr FMC to be specific. There may be a date stamped in ink on the label somewhere. Other than that only some one with a break down of the lot numbers would know when they were made. I'd say post WWII up till the 80s as a guess. And I do mean "guess". Oct...

J Miller

Jason, I went through a period where I had a mind block against the factorys. Like you said "DUH". I keep a big list of parts sources in my favorites but for the most part, for current production guns, I'll go to the factory. That way, you know it has a much better chance of being the righ...

J Miller

On the parts drawing for my 1894 Cowboy Limited with the octagon barrel, it's called a Magazine Tube Stud . Since the 1894S is a round barreled gun I'm not positive, but it seems the name should be the same. I just went to the Marlin web site and in their owners manuals they have a very generic expl...

Pete,

I appreciate your humor.

gon2shoot, HE brought the gun by last night, it was the elevator that broke apparantly while the gun was in a hard case and the piece wedged between the reciever and lever. He swears it wasn't dropped or kicked out of the truck over 30mph. Rear sight elevator, NOT A CHANCE it was broken while in the...

I read that article on the front page of my ISP. What a batch of arrogant people. Blatantly drive across the border in official Mexican Police vehicle and waltz into an Arizona gun show to buy guns and ammo. Let an American try that and they'd never see the light of day again. Yet the Arizona and Fe...

I was told by a boot shop man to use Lexol on my leather. I've done so and it seems to work fine. No undue discoloration and the leather is not drying out and cracking.

Joe

J Miller

The most likely cause for the forward end of the carrier to be broken off is working the lever wrong causing the carrier to try and lift a cartridge that is still partially in the magazine tube. Or there may be a mechanical problem that is preventing the cartridge from moving out of the tube fast en...

We sure wouldn't have had any need for a diet. We would have been skinny.

Joe

C.Cash,

I am the same way. I could have written your post, word for word.

My dad could sharpen knifes, my friend in AZ can sharpen knifes, but NOT me. Noooooooo way.

I'm watching too, there's got to be a way for us knife dullers to sharpen them.

AmBraCol, I am aware that not every ISP is everywhere. However Outdoors Unlimited is quite extensive.

It'll shoot. Just for the fun of it, shake the cartridge. If you feel and hear the powder inside it's dry.

Joe

J Miller

gon2shoot,

Is your friend talking about the elevator that adjusts the rear sight?

~or~

Is you friend talking about the carrier that raises the cartridge up from the magazine to the chamber?

I only ask this, because I've never ever seen a rear sight elevator broken.

Joe

I got that exact same email only it came from the NAGR. (National Association for Gun Rights. The wording is exactly the same, same suggested letter to the editor. And at the bottom a blatant mooch for money. I just might use their letters, but since I do not remember soliciting their news email I'm...

AmBraCol, We had AOL several years ago and they had a built in filter that could be set to filter out gun forums, and other things. We had to go in and set it to let us browse freely. I can't remember how we had to do this, but it is in the AOL controls. For a free browsing ISP may I suggest Outdoor...

Mike,

I can see the stickers, but I can't read any of the fine print.
Can you do some close ups?

Boy do these bring back some memories. Nixon was the very first presidential candidate I voted for when I turned 18.

Joe

J Miller

veeman, To me a scope is an unreliable device that will most likely fail on me just when I'm needing it. So - I would pull the scope off and sight it in with the iron sights. then put the scope back on and sight it in with that. That way if the scope fails all you have to do is pull it off and keep ...

J Miller

Rebarreling is the way to go. However I'd caution him to have the entire gun checked by a gunsmith and verified as safe before continuing to shoot it. Better to be safe than sorry.

Joe

OK, Here's what we do. If governor Swatzhisneggar signs this bill we'll get together towards the end of each November and June. Pick up as many of the micro stamped rounds as you can find and mail them to your friends across the country. Then on the 4th of July and Newyears we carefully sprinkle the...

It is glued - epoxyed back together right now. I did that to get the pictures. Someone PM'd me about manufacturing me a replacement part, but I don't know which member it is. I probably should find out. I don't think this part is aluminum. It more resembles the pot metal that was used before aluminu...

I think we should bring it up a notch with say, the simultaneous destruction of 100 enemy installations across the world. I'm a bit more blood thirsty.

Pete44ru, I haven't put a sling on a lever gun for almost 30 years. The last one I had with sling mounts on it is long ago gone. That removable sling you showed in your picture intrigues me. Where could one get a nylon version of it? I don't have a Cabelas or any of the big box stores near me. And I...

J Miller

kimwcook, Years ago I had a couple Win 94s set up with a sling. I used the Uncle Mikes mount that has a solid ring around the magazine tube, and the split ring. Both worked as they should, but I preferred the solid ring mount. I mounted the swivel ring just off the end of the forearm so it wouldn't ...

Very, Way OT, not even in the ball park. I need a fan part fabricated. I have an old Westinghouse oscillating fan that works better than any of the new junk. But the part that connects the base to the motor and the oscillator parts has broken. I've epoxied it once and it broke again. This part is ma...

Scott, I have to opposite plans for my Marlin. First: Have it D&T'd for a side mount receiver sight and put a post type (Skinner) front sight on it. Second: Retro fit it with 1895 style sights such as those that have been shown me in the other thread I've got up. I'm leaning towards the first ch...

J Miller

Val, Thanks, now I'm beginning to see. When you get a chance could you take some clear up close pics of those sights? I've got a couple links to places that sell these old types but they don't show the sights you and Leverdude are showing me. Do you have any links to sources for those sights? I do k...

J Miller

Scott,

THAT is what I want. How tall is it? What rear sight are you using? How thick is the blade part? How much does the serration file cost? Who blued it for you?
