look at Wusthof knives. they are made in solingen germany. they make some of the best kitchen knives i have ever seen. my wife and i bought an extensive set of these about 2 years ago. they are outstanding.

hfcable

the browning 1886s also had the same problem. i used a reamer by hand and easily fixed this problem on mine and a buddy's 1886.

you are only removing a small amount of metal and it doesnt take very long. there is a handle to use for turning the reamer.

hfcable

heck of a deal ! i have a couple of these and they are most fun and pleasant shooters !

hfcable

so very sad for all of us. he will be welcomed and comforted and filled with joy, but we will miss him greatly.

hfcable

have used the hornady 350 gr on large caribou and on moose. its a very good choice. it worked great. one and done every time.

hfcable

i have 25/20s and 32/20s and have never done much with the 22 hornet...... but i do have one in TC contender and am using it for my grandson to go a notch up from 22 LR. years ago i picked up four boxes of facttory 22 hornet in an estate sale, paid about 20$ per box i did have a great western 22 hor...

sometime soon i am going to sell the super black hawk 480........the destructive arthiritis in my hands makes it impossible to use anything more than a 44 magnum.

i may post it here in the classifieds when i have time to sell it.

hfcable

i have two of them, one in blue and one in stainless. they are a hoot to own and shoot and pretty formidable for such a small package. i think i posted a picture here once, and will trry to dredge that picture up and post again. ahhh, found one picture: https://i.imgur.com/hNWNRQI.jpg this is the st...

hfcable

outstanding hunt and excellent sheep

hfcable

i have one that was converted to 44 magnum and have had it ore than 20 years and suspect it was done way before then. i had it converted to a trapper length take down and it is a really nice little package,

it is accurate and feeds 240 gr and 300 gr loads quite well

cant find my pictures of it.

hfcable

i dont have any early single action colts. have no first generation guns. have a great 2nd gen colt 45 that was worked over by bob munden and has carved ivory grips. have a couple of new in the box 3rd gen guns and have 7 new frontiers , two are 2nd gen, the rest are 3 rd gen. i really like the new ...

amazingly accurate too !

so true ! medically , i am boxed into multiple corners.... and the heck of it is , it is all rare weird genetic based problems. i have no weight problem, etc, and my cholesterol etc would make a 12 year old envious. well, what the heck, i keep on keeping on, but i am really tired of close shaves and...

it appears to be original through out, and looks llke it has not been used very much at all

it shoots 22 LR , standard velocity only

hfcable

outstanding !!

hfcable

it is a really good shooter too

i have several others but this is the 'prettiest '

i beleive it is from 1926 or so

hfcable

This thread is highly entertaining BUT everyone knows it was Winchester rifles that won the West! Movies have been made about it. It is penned in books. I have yet to run across a book on the old West where the writer pens "... he raised his trusty .44 caliber Morris & Brown Conical Repeat...

hfcable

very interesting, and looks well preserved.

how does that action work?

hfcable

that is superb and is really a grail gun for me..... was never able to snag an 86 carbine !!

hfcable

if the demoncrats win this election that AK will really sell for a lot of $

hfcable

I wonder about this cartridge in a carbine. I can get 1500 fps in a Single Seven, I’ll bet that load would cook in a 16 inch barrel! marlin made the model 1894 in 32 H&R. i have one and it is great. i checked and it will feed the 327 just perfectly., so all that is needed is to ream the chamber...

hfcable

I have a Universal. Put a PSA red dot on it and even set myself up to reload, with a Lee Turret press. I have since stepped boldly into the 1960's and got me an AR, but I still sometimes daydream about going all-in on Carbines...SBR one, get one in 5.7 Johnson, and so on. Maybe when I retire. It's ...

hfcable

the only one i have left is the marlin model 62 lever action in 30 carbine. it is light , handy, and very accurate.

hfcable

so true and i have reloaded it for more than 30 years. about 2o years ago, there were two big estate sales here in alaska, while the economy was really down. both of them had boxes and boxes of 25/20 and 32/20 factory loads. i got them for 5-10$ per box or less. i was just looking at my inventory an...

hfcable

this is a neat set in a small caliber: 25/20 the rifle is an old model marlin 1894 , from the early 1900s. it is a short rifle with octagonal barrel and full mgazine. still has pretty nice case colors, and is amazingly accurate the six shooter is a new model ruger black hawk, that was converted to 2...

hfcable

i have two 1895s and one of them was misabled in an auction as an 1899.

a museum in fairbanks has a storied savage lever gun that was used in the gold rush. they had it labeled as an 1899, and it was for sure an 1895. i left them a note and i dont know if they every changed the label.

hfcable

that is interesting. would love to have a loading tube for this one !

Is the top hole in the 1895 a gas vent?

it is a cocking indicator : shows a C for cocked , an S for safe

then like a fool i sold it, was very unhealthy for deer

Brad

that was a steal ! they are really rare guns !!

would love to take game with this one

hfcable

Marlin 1891? Very nice! Very $$$ too! How do you find loading it through the gate? yes, marlin model 1891 , made in the first six months of production. they switched to loading tube after that. it loads okay, but not nearly as easy as with a loading tube model. it is quite accurate [use standard ve...

hfcable

recognize this model??

hfcable

more of my collection that i am archiving, photographing, etc the savage 1895, that preceded the 1899. chambered in 303 savage. can be identified by serial number ...or the hole in the top of the bolt! https://i.imgur.com/wU5AhN0.jpg https://i.imgur.com/V219JHp.jpg https://i.imgur.com/1dynlfT.jpg ht...

hfcable

maybe my current favorite pair:

both are in 480 ruger caliber

hfcable

Nice !!!

hfcable

NICE !!!

that remington model 25 32/20 pump is a sweet one ! most people who pick one uo to look at it, think they are handling a 22pump !

hfcable

like John Taffin, i quit watching all TV over 50 years ago.

in the mornings, i look at Drudge Report and may read a few of the links, that is all

hfcable

thanks Six ! hope i can get out and use this one sometime soon. have had it for a while

hfcable

Drawdown, you are right ! this is just the ticket for deer in some areas

i hope to put it to that use one day soon

hfcable

Sorry to here of your decline in health ,hang in there keep the faith. As for the carbine it surely is a nice one , appears to be one of the more pricey tang sights made for Savage 99 ? That was what I was thinking also. no, it is called a 'special base' sight and was made for the marlin. very hard...

hfcable

That 94 looks just about perfect to me. I was bidding on one similar, wasn't a takedown but it was chambered in .38-55, one of my all time favorites.
