That is a special gun for sure, Jim. J. Stevens and Son made a lot of "utility" guns back before 1915. They were tools for the common people. I have my Great-Grandpa's old J Stevens 16 ga single shot that he used around the farm. That gun had to put game on the table as well and it is very...

When you get to fixing the loose tube remember the magazine tube "dovetail" on Winchester barrels is a rotary dovetail, not a linear dovetail like the front sight, rear sight, and forend tenon have! Many is the Winchester I had to fix because the owner tried pounding the rotary dovetail s...

Great solution. Now the question is WHY/ HOW did said case part company...? I can't see it was an over pressure since the case capacity is so small... headslace excessive? Maybe a NO-GO & FIELD gauge is in order. If itis in spec for headspace and was my rifle I think I would polish the chamber....

Well, I just came in out of the shop working on this project to give Ya'll the good news. I tried all of the suggestions given on here except the 22 bullet that was suggested today. None worked. Yesterday I had the idea they I would find me a pin punch or something similar sized .224 and I would try...

A couple more good ideas, Nath and Tom. Lots of wisdom on this forum.
Thanks,

Maybe this is a sign that sales may be slowing down some and if that's the case maybe primer availability is around the corner.
One could hope?

Thanks for the replies, guys. Those are good ideas. I will start with the penetrating oil and brush first, since I have those on hand, and if that don't work, I will order one of those .223 shell extractors. I think it would fit in there with the bolt, carrier and everything removed, and if it would...

Maybe somebody has experienced this and has a easy solution. I bought a Model 1873 22 short (made in 1889) a few years ago. The person that sold it to me said it would shoot but not extract the hulls. I glanced at it and could see the extractor was gone and figured I could get it going pretty easy. ...

Nice job and good practice for the hunting season coming up.
We have another heat wave here in Arkansas with 100 degree forecast the next 3 days and that is too hot to enjoy. Send us some cooler weather down
please!!

Nice! The ammo is probably worth near what the gun is at todays prices.
Good luck with your new find.

I ordered one of the Ebay scopes just like the one in Old No. 7's picture. I ordered the one with the 5.5 MM camera and 16ft. cable. I will find a lot of uses for it I know. We had one at my former work and it was handy for a lot of things. We used it mostly to inspect the cylinders on the 1500hp Wa...

Get a Teslong instead- less money and much better resolution.

Thanks. That another good word on the Teslong.

Tallboy, I have a regular 94 made in 67 that has the stamped lifter and have never had a problem with it. It has had a lot of rounds through it over the years.
As far as I am concerned, I would not let that or the fake brass (I don't remember what it really is) stop me from buying on.

Welcome.

At least your more fun!

Thanks for the tip Old No. 7! I had not thought of that. I will check out Ebay and see what they have.

Thanks for all your replies fellas.

Does anyone have a preference of a ridged or flexible shaft?

Thanks, Shasta. Good information, I seen the Teslong on Midways site, but it did not have any reviews. They are cheaper to boot!

Welcome to the campfire but be warned, your life savings maybe in danger here...... :D Truer words were never spoken. As you already know from lurking, this group is a bunch of unrepentent enablers!!! :shock: :lol: Welcome abord!!! :D Thanks for the welcome! I blame this group for 20 to 30 levergun...

Do any of you have any experience with the Lyman Borescope? I was looking at the reviews on Midway and they are mixed. Of the 12 reviews 8 gave 5 stars
and 4 gave 1 star because they couldn't link up to the unit. Nothing in between.

Joe, I have seen your posts on other forums. I have a 375 just like it and I need to get it out and shoot it.
Do you like that lace on recoil pad? I just bought one off of Amazon similar to that that I have installed on my Browning 1886 SRC, but have not shot it yet.

Well, I was able to compress the file. Maybe this will work

I figured out I was getting an error. I think the pictures are too big and I am now working on shrinking them. I am not very good at editing photos.

That did not work. I am searching the forum now for instructions.

Thanks for the welcome! I am headed to the range this morning to shoot my .356 Win BB94 and do my final adjustment of the scope ( :shock: ) . I finally got some 180 gr.
