and an early happy birthday to you [ and to me also ] for tomorrow !!

hfcable

outstanding hunt and excellent sheep

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 ...

here is my 1897. fancy wood and 28 " tapered octagonal barrel: [ photos are not very good]

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. I let it get away and have been kicking myself ever since. Have fun! jb 8) that would be a real treasure ! one of my favorite calibers !!! Really wan...

thank you. this is the kind of condition that i like, so i enjoy it and dont feel like it has to be a safe queen.

it really is a handy little rifle. i have tang sights on a high percentage of my lever guns and on some others. i cann shoot well with them and faster too. ' as i replied on the little marlin carbine " that tang sight is called a 'special base' model and these models were available for marlin, ...

hfcable

that tang sight is called a 'special base' model and these models were available for marlin, winchester, savage and others. they appeal to those who like to wrap their thumb over the stock and they also give a slightly longer sighting radius. these models are very hard to find. i can shoot well with...

hfcable

another one i really like: model 94 in 30 WCF, an Extra Light Weight , sometimes called pencil barrel , as the barrel itself is very thin; this one is a takedown and has had some use but nice for its age. bore is perfect https://i.imgur.com/XK3bI4N.jpg https://i.imgur.com/qKbtihJ.jpg https://i.imgur...

and the first lever gun for 35 remington was the Stevens High Power, a nice rifle. i have one and its a keeper. it came out about 1910.

Is the forend wood or bronze? Not that I’ve seen tons of them, but the ones I’ve seen have an elaborate cast bronze handle with a moose on one side and what’s likely a bear on the other (though some think it’s a mountain lion). Does yours have a bronze buttplate with cast in Standard Arms logo set ...
