I am in the middle of working on just this issue! The Leupold VX-Freedom 1.5-4x20 is my current guinea pig on my 1894. I use an Ashley Performance mount to move the scope more over the receiver HOWEVER, Leupold is discontinuing many of the Dual Dovetail rings and the Medium 1" rings are what th...

We'll keep sending them!

I always wondered why they didn't do an L frame. They have the 5 shot 44 L frame and a 7 shot 357. Can they not do a 6 shot 41 that isn't an N frame? I know that basically its sort of the same same but I assume the L frame would be lighter. Why not do an L frame 41 mag Mountain Gun?

Dude with boobs? That's a chick.

Go look at their Instagram details. They advertise a OnlyFans. It's either a dude with bolt ons or a chick that changed something down there.

I have been getting more interesting in buying a couple of cans, so I have made several inquiries, and my brother-in-law has been shooting them for years and my nephew shoots F class competition and shoots cans a lot. I have been talking to several dealers also. For a .22, I would just go ahead and...

As an update - i am (was initially ) really happy with my Silencer Shop military discount and pricing but their reliance on a local dealer network seems to be a fail I am in the dark on the 2 YHM 9mm cans i ordered through them 2 weeks into this -- that were shipped to them to OKC from San Antonio ...

Nice!

Is there a particular BHN you look for Jim? In GA, we have to use “expanding” bullets for hunting but we seem to have some leeway on what that means.

It was always legal to build your own. You had to and still do, submit a Form 1 with tax then once approved, you could make it with the serial number you filed with.

Instead of hyjacking the Sixgun Sights thread, I figure I’d just ask. The gun in question is a Pietta made 4.75 inch Single Action; the SA1873. We’re no longer financially in a position for me to pick up a Blackhawk so I’m making do. My last research for .45 Colt bullets put me toward the lower end ...

ikocher

This brings up a good point. I have pretty much abandoned my .45 Colt reloading project for the time being because the point of impact on my Pietta Cabela's Special hits so low with everything I've tried that I can't really use it for anything beyond making noise or maybe CAS. I don't know if a muc...

We’re between suitable farm vehicles at the moment. I had been using an 03 4Runner since 2020 that worked out as a great farm and daily type runner. It had nearly 360,000 miles when I sold it last year after it broke down too many times in a short span. We swapped into an 08 Tahoe for the wife and n...

I just saw on Henry's promo video for 2026 they are releasing a threaded .22 with a normal length barrel. It has plastic furniture but could be good fun with a suppressor

I'm stuck at work but I did order the Hornady headspace checker and adapter for my new 30-30 cases. I just need powder and primers and I can get started.

ikocher

I had one for a few years. It was an 80’s era Trapper. The action was chunky and not particularly smooth. I never got around to testing accuracy or any of that but it seemed fine. I ended up selling it since I just sat. Someone else should be able to enjoy it.

ikocher

Great job! Thats a good critter!

ikocher

Thanks everyone. Bass Pro has some LeverEvo powder and I’ve be recommended 335 so I will try to pick up those and rifle primers at some point. I ordered a 100 round box of the 130 grain Speers along with a box of the 170’s to start with. I’m seeing good things about the Sierra stuff too so I may try...

I just got a set of Hornady Custom dies for 30-30 for early Christmas. This will be my first bottlenecked cartridge I reload for so it’ll be a new experience. Anyway, my 30-30 is predominantly for putting food in the freezer and I would like recommendations for which bullets to start loading with in...

Can do!

I agree. It's not the season until Hans Gruber falls from the Nakatomi Tower.

Absolutely! In fact I've referenced some of the works in my own writings!

I was working on repairing a wobbly stock on my family’s 1890 pump today. I had hoped it would be an easy fix but the lower tang’s shelf is just missing. I didn’t think to take pictures before putting it back together. How would one go about making a new shelf? I’ve attached an image from the intern...

New for us? We tried to add a new kiddo to the Little Farm Crew in the first week of November but the IVF transfer did not take so LJ doesn't get to be a big sister just yet. We have 4 more embryos to go which is 4 more chances. My companies merger is still on-going so no idea how it's going to go m...

There's already a new switch for the V's. It didn't take long

By and large, .38 Special has been the cartridge I have reloaded the most with .357 Mag being paired up t then .45 Colt. Then again, the amount I have reloaded in ALL of my endeavors probably doesn't total the lowest of any 1 cartridge Jim's loaded :lol: I doubt I've hit 1000 rounds made yet of ever...

ikocher

I think there is a legitimate use for this. Back in about January I had written up an idea of using 10mm as the basis for a modern replacement for the .357 Mag in a rifle/pistol combo set that could take a deer at 100 yards while still meeting the requirements for self-defense applications from a se...

ikocher

Thanks for getting things going again. I found out about the 10mm Trapper just yesterday and it's pretty interesting. I had wondered why Hornady had released the LEVERevolution load recently and that seems to make sense now that this is out. I had postulated back in January that 10mm AUTO could make...

ikocher

Well, I don't have a high round count through my Remlin 1894 CST but I sure enjoy it and it's a crowd pleaser when at the range. It's done very well for me so far. This will be my 3rd year out deer hunting with it.

I have somehow managed to put red dots on just about half of what I own with most of what I regularly use having a dot. 3 of 4 of my lever actions have red dots with the exception being a Henry .22. Several of my pistols have them. On my Ruger MKIII 22/45, I had a Vortex Venom 3 MOA for many years u...

Everyone thank you for the info especially the major breakdown on sight types! Y’all are a huge help and I think I have what I need. The build isn’t NFA Title II because it’ll be 16.5 inch barrel. The entire question about the 14 sights is because the end game is a suppressor and how to accommodate ...

Actually now that I think about, could I convince you to measure the distance on your 16inch 94’s? I can extrapolate from there if need be.

ikocher

You know of course, that a 14" Winchester 94 would be an SBR. My 2 shortest are 16". I have suppressors so I’m familiar with all of that. That said, my build doesn’t fall under Title II BUT I do need to know the distance between the dovetails for the 14 inch factory guns. It’s weird but i...

I’m working on an idea for a build and would like to know if anyone happens to have a 14 inch barrel version of the 94 and if they could measure from the center of the rear sight dovetail to the center of the front sight dovetail? Also, if they happen to have it in .30-30, what rear sight does it ha...

ikocher

I’ve been wanting to get a regular Wrangler but the lack of adjustable rear sights is turn off. I know the Super has them but I want that shorter barrel.

I just got notifications from Brownell’s that both 2400 AND Unique are in inventory but WHOA BABY are they expensive.

I had considered one in .22 when looking at a double action .22. They don't have adjustable rear sights so I stuck with the S&W 17.
