Right on

Ain't got no time for vacuum petcocks, cept the time to remove them and throw them into trash can or sell them to someone who wants to get stranded.

Sorry for your loss

A 86/92 action scaled to the 30WCF family of cartridges wouldn't be much smaller than an 86 due to the length of the cartridge (perhaps it could be made slightly narrower but the length wouldnt change). The 94 got real rifle cartridges in an action about the same size as a 92. Having the works drop...

348win

In other words why didn't a STRETCHED or EXTENDED FRAME 92' come along. Plenty of real estate to house a 30-30 cartridge when it can house a 44mag/45LC dia. case, the 30wcf is much smaller diameter But I realize the lever throw would increase substantially, and that would be a chain reaction of geom...

348win

The 1894 happened because they wanted a lightweight rifle with a more powerful cartridge than the 1892. Right But I got to wonder why the design was changed so much, the '86 & '92 where: "the guts don't come out when you lever it" "no trigger block/interlock safety" The 94 j...

Thank You for information

Just seen a R92 stainless in 44 mag advertised, how great it was and full function, Then check picture and mag tube has worked forward, proud of end of barrel by what looks like 1", and witness mark through the band of galling during slide forward Buyer beware of design flaw!!!! Interesting and...

348win

I already run it by them

That Taylor's rifle is tang safety and M71 scale tho ain't it
No sense in having a 30-30 in that Heavy weight class large frame IMO

348win

I cant recall reading if the 1894 design came along to streamline production, cut costs on amount of pieces/labor, if it was a packaging issue of keeping the longer 30-30 a "short stroke lever" versus a Marlin....... I got wonder why the 30-30 mid sized action was never developed. I know J...

That is a sweet piece

Tell me does case color have any BETTER Rust Protection than A High Quality Standard Blue????

Or is it mostly eye candy

Either way its sick, congrats!

I shoot 32-20

Probably the funnest cartridge of all, for plinking or small game.

And the most head scratching over if it would get brought along for a deer

A modern rifle w a modern load, sure hits the steel hard. That's a 90gr got to be doing 2200fps I would think. Haven't measured yet.

348win

I also got to wonder how many situations get handled w 5.56 / 223 up there, out of practicality.....seems everyone's got one or access to one, and a 223 to the neck or head is a devastating injury to any critter. Especially if the 1st one don't stop it, put a few more rounds into it, its bound to go...

348win

I would take my 348win Carbine for up close. General packing/scouting. A tad heavy but the wanted horsepower comes w weight. And a buddy: packing a nicely scoped stainless 30-06 or larger bolt gun And several handguns between us. I worry about the weather messing up my rifle more than anything....bu...

Nice write up I ain't old per say, but feel it. Best thing I learned by this age is to count your blessings and be happy w what you got. There's always MORE, better or worse. Finding peace is the hardest, I think. But being able to accept it and embrace it, is what matters. Making the best of it. Li...

348win

Wow good shooting @ 210yds

348win

Thanks for all replies

Ya the Speer Bullets have been pretty soft in my experience, maybe too soft, maybe just right for 30-30. They are affordable and usually available which is nice.

And the Win Silvertip may be moving at the just right speed in the 30-30.

348win

Are there other ferns that they can be mistaken for?

Pretty sure I've got a bunch of them, down on low ground near the springs, streams, ponds.

Idk how to post pictures.

348win

That's a dang fine day well spent w family, in the woods.

I like the history of others before us stomping around the same ground and boating the same waters. A reminder were all in it together, and all in it temporarily, to make the best of it.

348win

I been thinking for 30-30 in a 16" Trapper, being a very light and handy gun, that maybe the 150gr Sierra would be ideal for my full power handloads. This is an all around up North Hunting load I'm after. Had good luck w Sierra's lately, and read a few reviews where guys say this bullet, p/n: #...

348win

So the early M94's had no trigger block?

Or they all did to ensure the action was locked up before trigger can be pulled.

348win

I dont think it is correct, I think that trigger interlock mechanism was part of the original design.

348win

Is this a true statement? I found it reading through old posts What I really like about the pre-64s vs the post 64's is the lever, on pre-64s the lever closes hard against the stock, and it just feels much better to me then the post 64's which require the lever to be squessed to fire the weapon. I g...

I like a forend cap myself.
Never had one fail.

And I have held guns w loose wood in band style attachments....not so w a cap.

348win

I agree fix it right, that setup sucks. Shouldn't be on you to reengineering it tho. Sometimes were stuck doing so. Its proven flawed by now. A shame, they went with a cheap failing "new way" to do things. Industries are gone to greed. I get disappointed as well, when you drop the coin on ...

Thank You for fixing this great forum site.

I look forward to participating.

Running fast and running good today!!!!!

"Finally, the RLDC has a 175 grain Hornady SUBX over 11.7 grains of TB at 1065"

Interesting

Thanks

348win

Congrats

348win

Happy Birthday

348win

Yup I'm jealous of them Maine woods brother

348win

I do use the LEE Factory Crimp Die

I still observe setback from time to time.

348win

Does Winchester still support their older products or are they all done?

I'm completely in the dark as far as that goes.

I could always write and ask, but someone here might know.

*Particularly curious about Post-64 Model 94 support

348win

I have been pleased w TB in 32-20 for subs, with lead

But were talking WAY different cases capacity than a 30-30 and, most likely, jacketed

348win

I don't like slings at all, figure if your using an open sight gun, walk w it on the ready.

Mostly curious of interesting ways to use the saddle rings. What people do.

348win

Anybody shooting jacketed subsonics in 30-30 w TB powder. I know we are downloading down past even 300blk energies 300blk is 1:7 for 220gr 30-30 is 1:10 so more like 190gr But for no ears plinking and practice it would be cool. Probly double as a rabbit and grouse load. 30-30 is a big step up in cas...

348win

Wonder what the most compact rear peep is

348win

Yes simikar but I have my own geometry ideas

348win

I have NOT tested FURY But was interested Was turned off by conventional crimp groove. My experience I need something better....deeper....stronger, to prevent setback Company owner, told me try them no setback probs. I think he was willing to improve the groove as well, I can't recall details there ...

348win

how bout peep sight options and ladder sight options

I'd really like a ladder sight if I can shoot decent in a 16"

Also any pictures of a saddle ring IN USE, for sling purposes or what not

Thanks in advance

348win

If we get enough guys together I got a company on the hook willing to R&D a bullet compatible w the Browning Model 71's (short throat) Key requirements on my list: 150-160ish gr LIGHT FOR CALIBER OPTION 220gr GOLD STANDARD weight (my opinion) Monolithic Deep crimp groove; w no bullet setback des...

348win

almost bought one of these stainless CBC guns,

Glad I didn't as a searched this up and am not sure if the mag tube working loose during firing has been remedied in the calibers other than 454

That would be a big disappointment to find a mag tube loose

348win

I traded for a new Rossi 38/357 mag and I am really happy with that trade. The one I have has the 16 inch barrel, and I also have a Ruger Security Six revolver. I would like to have a 454 to go with my Uberti 45 colt, EL PATRON revolver. I want the 454 because the mag tube is screwed into the recei...

348win

Are the dovetails cut; American/Standard/Imperial or Metric???

I suspect the front sight being high to be an annoyance, but at least it has a gold bead. Hopefully not too fat.

I haven't got to inspect one of these rifles in person yet.

348win

Thanks for sharing Jim You are right that stainless is not unrustable. I see different grades are more durable. I know blued guns don't like being caught in the rain, not one bit. I read somewhere S&W double action pistols on fishing boats in Alaska subject to saltwater out in the open on the bo...

348win

What the deal w these modern Rossi 92's in Stainless.... How durable is the Stainless to the elements For the price, I'm wondering if they are just the ticket for a truck/farm gun that's going to see rain, bad weather...on the regular. Or are they cheap, rough, and gritty. Haven't had a chance to ho...

348win

Hard to ignore the style points you earn when you pull a Bee out of the gun case. 8) Copy on that!!! I was thinking the same thing bout the 32-20 yesterday. Show up to hunting camp w that, one gun, for hunt or competitive target shoot. When you pull out a cartridge to compare everyone else's there ...

348win

I am going to see how the 32-20 does, before I'd buy a 218 It shoots flat to 165yds, maybe more. But that about my game limit w irons. Also 90gr is moving right along to stay flat, so damage might be high at that velocity. We will see. I know 32-20 aint a deer cartridge either...but it hit the steel...
