There's 147 of me!

" secret police " in this country are a no-no. +1 on that. If you are enforcing a 'just' law, you don't need a disguise. Agree 100%, even though it has nothing to do with what I posted about. I remember a one panel cartoon that shows what looks like a stuffed swat member mounted on the wa...

try 4-8 grains of Unique or Red Dot, Been using that since '73 with 113gr Lee FP for a squirrel load and general plinking/shooting. Thanks, 3leggedturtle. The RCBS cast bullet manual has a load of 9.0-11.0gr Unique for their 30-115-SP bullet. I think I'll try a starting load of 7.0gr for 5rds (one ...

1894cfan

Primers backing out would indicate there isn't enough pressure to set the case back against the bolt face. Similar effect of shooting wax bullets in a revolver without enlarging primer flash holes. Like three legged turtle mentions go with quicker powder and it should be okay. Unique is a good powd...

1894cfan

What?!

I just want a low velocity plinking load. The load that I was given last year using 27gr IMR 3031 does work, but the primers are backing out a bit, hence the query for Unique loads.

1894cfan

Anybody here have favorite loads for the 30/30win using Hornady 30cal 85gr JSP's with Unique powder? TIA

As I mentioned already, I've got a 2X EER scope in hand, so might see if it works with the XS Scout mount, and since I have the Leupold Scout Scope on (back)order from Midway, I just might turn my 1894c into a Scout Rifle also.

Thanks for all the opinions, guys. Have decided to go with the Leupold Scout Scope, even if it is a bit more expensive. Now to have a couple holes d&t'd to mount the XS Scout Rail. BTW, 94 is a 1977 vintage.

Yup, just like that. What scope is that? BTW, I've got a Williams Fool Proof on mine.

Good one, pokey!

Thanks, jkbrea. I do have other Leupold scopes that I'm happy with, was just wondering if I really needed the focusing option on the Burris, and what others opinions were on these two.

1894cfan

I checked out Scout Scopes over at MidwayUSA and narrowed it down to 2 scopes, Burris and Leupold. Which one do you guys think is the better scope? TIA

1894cfan

Tycer wrote:Yep, I mis-read. It should be the leupold Scout Scope IER.

Thanks, Tycer. IF the EER 2X pistol scope don't work (I've already got one of these), I will end up getting the Scout Scope IER.

1894cfan

Gonna turn my Win 94 into a scout rifle, using XS lever scout mount. Is a Leupold 2X EER scope adiquit(sp?)? Is a 30/30 good enough for use as a scout rifle?

1894cfan

Anybody here know if the Stack-On brand of safes is of the same design?

1894cfan

My first guns ever were a Marlin 39a and a Ruger Single-Six, in that order.

Perfect, just what I need, something ELSE to buy for my M1 carbine!!

1894cfan

Two 39As, one 1948 w/ Williams FP w/target knobs, one 1977 w/ Weaver K4.

Sorry about no pics, no camera.

Mine DOES look like that, EXACTLY like that, even made in the same year! Heck, I even had to go to the safe to make sure mine was still there!

1894cfan

I shoot 180 cast bullets with 12gr SR4759 useing standard primers out of my new model blackhawk and 1894c. I got that load out of the RCBS cast bullet reloading manual. I get 1346fps out of an 18.5" barrel. BTW, max load is 13gr.

1894cfan

Aside from the .22's that I plink and target shoot with, most of my guns I use as a good place to store some of my ammo.

It's too bad there's no Smilies with a hand salute.

Been there, done that at MidwayUSA! My credit card is screaming!

Is there a letter at the beginning of the serial number? If so, could you tell us what it is? TIA

I'd like to see them do that on a Glock firing pin!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heck, they'd need a electron microscope to read it.

1894cfan

Thanks for the info, guys. It does have the rounded front sight hood AND Lyman 66MC receiver sight. I've been thinking of getting a Marbles slot blank to stick in the slot of the missing rear sight. BTW, the bore is in REALLY good condition. I've been told that I'm only the second owner of this 39A....

1894cfan

And am trying to find out something about it. S/N E69XX stamped under lever, with tappered barrel, rather large bellied forearm, drilled and tapped for scope mount, receiver sight (currently has a Lyman sight), AND tang sight. It appears to be in pretty good condition but has seen a fair amount of u...

Just had a thought, instead of electrical tape, how about a un-lubed condom? Worked for GIs in WW2!! Or if that's too wild for ya, how about a baloon? Red one maybe?

I think I've got a perfect example for you guys. My nephew was convicted of felonys, did his time and completed parole. A few months ago, my Father died and my oldest brother was co-executor and was in charge of the estate sale. He had a .38 revolver stashed for protection just in case. Sometime dur...

1894cfan

Nice pics and stories, guys. I just picked up a .357/20Ga just yesterday for a couple hundred. Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet.

1894cfan

You'll have no argument from me, I've got a 1894c loaded with eleven .38's and a Glock 23 with a 13 rd. and a 15 rd. mags by my bed! It's either those or a .30 carbine with three 15 rounders and a Glock 21 with two 13 rounders. Either way, the jobs gonna get done!!! Oh, my ringing ears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1894cfan

I'd suggest trying SR4759 with lead bullets, it burns cooler and cleaner.

I use 27 gr. IMR 3031 for the Sierra 85 gr. RNSP... This was the "trapper" load we talked about a few months ago. It duplicates the old 1920s (IIRC) load but is using a SP instead of the FMJ in the original. Thanks, Hobie. I just picked up a fresh container of IMR 3031. Now to pick up a b...

Does anybody here have a load worked up for the Hornady .308cal 86gr sp for 30/30 Win? I'm looking for a plinking/coyote load for this bullet. TIA

I hear ya. The last 5 months have been kinda rough for me too. Docs found a tumor about the size of a small orange and operated on my Dad late January and he went down hill after that.

Marlin 1894cs, 145gr Win. Silvertip over 18gr 296 w/ WSPM primer.
That ought to take care of any coyotes(2 or 4 legged) or whitetails I run across.

Hi jdad,
I just wanted to go the cheapest/easiest/quickest route, matter of fact, I didn't even have to take the blade sight off the rifle to do this work.

1894cfan

I've been reading about some of the problems/bitches/moans and groans, etc. about Marlin blade front sights, and thought I'd pipe up and tell what I did with the front sight on my Marlin 1894cs. I never did like the bead on the blade front sight, so I took my trusty dremel with a sanding disc and sa...
