Thanks Paul

Thanks for asking.

I’ve been in touch with the host and am exploring upgrading to a VPN which they say will be much better.

Thanks for the offer to pony up fellas. At this time, Skinner Sights is glad to sponsor this forum. It’s something we can give back to the Levergun/Shooting community.

We had no warning…. It was just a poof. Then an email letting me know it poofed. No way to put out a notice. Sorry about that !

Anyone else have one of these booklets when you were a kid??? I loved mine enough to have a reprint made. Enjoy! ”How To Spin a Sixgun” and “The Secrets to Fast Draw” by Daisy with Arvo Ojala In 1960 the Daisy BB gun company in Rodgers Arkansas published this booklet to promote their “Spitting Image...

Great Post Jim.

Good to see you at Holiday!

Hello All, As many of you know, Lever Guns was down for about a week. The shutdown was by the server host, some tweaks needed to be made, and I want to thank Dave Fagan for his expertise and willingness to make it all work again. Please give Dave a Shout out here with some kind words of appreciation...

Thank you Paul and David!

Hey there 348,

Please send me a PM and a link, I’d be glad to take a look at it.

Andy

Happy Thanksgiving!

While we were in the Carolinas filming a video “Craft of the Levergun” we had a chance to stop by the Mayodan Ruger plant and see how the sausage is made.

Very impressive all the way around.

Here’s a few photos:

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Greetings from Montana. Lots to be grateful for. To those that are hunting or will be hunting, Sheila and I wish you all the best success and happy times afield with loved ones.

My dealer got the first one in from his distributor. He showed it to me yesterday and I foolishly walked out without it. Quoted me a price of only $1,000 which I thought was great. Did not sleep last night especially after seeing the crooks on GunBroker and other sites for prices from $1,250 to $1,...

Rossi sights prior to 2010 were about 10mm (larger than 3/8") and had an odd angle. After that date the size of the dovetail has varied from .410" down to .380" Many standard (Nominal) 3/8" dovetails will now work on the newer production guns while some still need one slightly l...

Totally understand…. Needed Peach to go with the shoes….

Sheila and I had a great time in Raton with our fellow Shootist’s this past week. What a fun time talking guns, shooting guns, putting sights on guns, looking at guns, fondling guns, assembling guns, cleaning guns, wait…. Did I mention we had guns there?? Being a Shootist is an honor we cherish alon...

Sheila and I were glad to catch up with JimT at the Holiday. We had a good visit and appreciate his leadership and passion for Leverguns.com

Thank you Jim for helping make this forum one of the best!

See you next year. Till then, if I can be any help please let me know.

Great to be with you all! Looking forward to next year. My apologies for the disorientated pictures…. No idea how that happens!

Check with Lee Hadaway at the Armsroom.com

He does good work, is well acquainted with leverguns, and UPS goes to his door every day.

Highly recommended.

Hope that helps!

In keeping with our forum rule of "This is a high-class place" I did remove the Polish joke. We know no harm was intended and normally we would all scroll on. Always good to error on the side of discretion. Thank you all for what you contribute to this forum. It's a great place to be.

The host server of this forum has been making some changes recently. Some functions may have behaved differently during that time. I just received the emails from Dreamhost today. I’ll look into anything that needs to be done on our end. Meanwhile, though I had no control over the circumstances, my ...

Some thoughts from Andy There are very few things you can hang on a Lever Gun that make it more useful. A stock lever action rifle is about as slim, sleek, svelt, and useful as it can be. Smooth lines, no protrusions, nothing to hang up, goes in and out of a scabbard or case, use around the easily, ...

I believe the Rossi quality has come up quite a bit over the past few years. For the price point, (around $700) these are pretty good. Picked this one up the other day to add to our test battery. (We sell more Rossi Rails than any other rail we make) Available here: http://www.skinnersights.com/ross...

Welcome Andy from another Andy (maybe just call me Tutt to keep it simple on the forum LOL). Anyhow, I've been bugging Paul about who was taking over the site, but I couldn't break him :D Glad to know its you, I think I have a subscription to your YouTube channel or FB or something. It seems your e...

Hello guys, I’ve been pretty busy building sights and keeping Marlin supplied, haven’t had a chance to drop in here and see how things are going. My apologies for that. Old Maine, the Gladiators are cool rigs. My wife has wanted one since they first came out. She wants it in Olive drab or the Gray. ...

Have removed the Barrel mounted sights from a 92 and a big bore 94. Never had a problem. never bothered with direction. Always used a Brass Drift. Am now woking on a 94 and having a great deal of difficullty. I'm glad I'm not at the range trying to adjust for windage. Will keep at it. Seems to have...

Thanks for that information. I have a single shot .410 that I was considering fireforming .303 British cases in. But my .410 will not close in the .303 rims.

Welcome to the fire from Maine. If AmBraCol searched you out, that says quite a lot in itself.

😯Wow. Been admiring your products for some time and right here you are. Welcome and future success to ya. I have had and used several Skinner sights on various lever guns for years and they work great! You won't be disappointed. Glad to have your sponsorship, Andy. Thanks Vance, glad to be here !

Welcome Andy! Thank you for taking this on. I think this is one of the most respectful places on the internet, due to the people here on the forum. Then again, it is the only one I visit, and do no other social media (well, I have a profile on LinkedIn for my professional work), so I have no real c...

J Miller, so glad she is doing some better. Please do continue to keep us updated. Difficult times to be sure. We will be praying for you. Lots of good encouragement in the previous posts. It's a good community that cares about its members.
Thank you everyone for reaching out.
