Of that list, I have bought from none directly. My HP laptop came with Microsoft OS and that is the only one that got any of my money. Sonic sucks!

crs

Nice job. I have an 1892 of about that date - not sure because it was hunted so hard that the last two serial number numerals are worn off. A previous owner converted it to .357 mag with 20 inch Douglas barrel and Bishop stocks so it make a good mate for my .357 revolver. https://www.jpgbox.com/jpg/...

The medical reports that I read stated that it works on a specific type virus and that Covid is of that type. That was good enough for me. So maybe you can ask Doc what type virus is Covid?

One of my rifles has a Marbles tang peep and a folding barrel sight. It is a 1886 45-90 TD with 26 inch barrel and the sight combo has worked out well: https://www.jpgbox.com/jpg/53432_600x400.jpg With tang peep folded, use the barrel sight. https://www.jpgbox.com/jpg/53457_600x400.jpg With barrel s...

Done.

Reminds me of a retired cop friend of mine.
He carried a 5 shot snubbie in the right hip pocket of his jeans - everywhere he went. The butt peeped out just enough for quick drawing if needed.

Local feed store sells lots of it and the country folk do not mind the mild taste which is not noticeable with a bit of jelly in the spoon. Thanks Piller for the dose recommendation. My daughter got the dose from her customers and we have been on it for two months. The medical slide show is VERY con...

Why all the interest in the 32-20 pistol cartridge?

I somehow passed through my avid handgun collecting and shooting phase without ever seeing or shooting a 32-20. ????

I just settled on .357 mag and 44 mag revolvers and matching rifles, and 9mm for auto.

If all these companies are colluding, will they not soon hear from the Feds?

Asking for a friend.

Scott - you tripped another memory switch with D'Hanis, TX.

I often hunted an exotic ranch at Hondo and one Saturday night we drove down to the Steakhouse and Honky Tonk at D"hanis. Good food and music and good times!

crs

Scott, Your Javelina story reminds me of an experience I had down near the Pecos River. I drove from camp to the canyon that the hunt manager had recommended for sitting to watch for deer and Javelina and parked at the rim. It seems the tires on my old Scout II were OK in town and on a good highway ...

crs

Griff, you had a mentor?

Heck, I just bought a how-to book and got after it. No wonder it took me so long to learn how.

crs

Welcome and does your rifle look something like this? https://www.jpgbox.com/jpg/51985_600x400.jpg Been shooting this 1895 TD .405 for a few years with no usage problems. My impression is they work well if you treat them right- routine cleaning and lubing as needed and if needed. A lot of firepower ...

crs

SEEN THAT, DO NOT PLAN TO SEE IT AGAIN.

crs

I shot my M19 .357 a lot and it was lonely.
One day at a gun show, I came across a Winchester 1892 chambered in .357 Magnum with a 20 inch Douglas barrel and Bishop custom stocks and the price was right.
Problem solved .

crs

.357 Mag all the way.

crs

Skip them both and go to the Winchester 1895 in .405 WCF!

There are sooo many situations where my favorite Levergun will depend on the job to be done. 1. Plinking and small game Winchester 9422 2. Self defense and medium game- Winchester Model 1892 .357 Magnum with 20 inch barrel. Also best handling. 3. Big game to medium DG - Miroku/Winchester 1895 .405 W...

" the sand will eat the paint off your car."

Piller,
Sounds like one of the dust storms where I grew up in the Texas Panhandle. We kids had to just stay inside until it was over.

crs

So some guy does not like lever action rifles?

Who cares? To each his own.

crs

Favorite pair :

crs

Since I bought My 100 + year old Winchester 1892, it has not been taken apart by anyone but a qualified gunsmith.
However, when I bought 1886 and 1895 Miroku/Winchester rifles I did remember to shop for and buy take down models.

crs

Good. We need her to win and stay in the Senate.

No pix for you, but many years ago, i bought a pair of insulated hi top leather Danners and they are still my best boot. Not warm weather , but best in winter. Daughter has a pair also. They may last forever.

crs

COsteve, I do not remember the velocity claimed by Buffalo Bore for their 180 grain loads, but they do shoot well in my 1892 .357 with 20 inch barrel. I have never bothered to Chrony them as I usually hunt with lighter handloads or 158 factory loads. Even 125 grain factory ammo kills hogs well. I do...

crs

Welcome !
Pix of your 86s would be nice.

crs

Good post. Thanks.

crs

Yes, I loaded some for my 45-90 some years ago.
I will check my loads log tomorrow.

crs

Don't you remember us all eating at your house?

Yep, still have the pictures as evidence!

crs

Congrats Peter.

BTW, will you be in my part of Texas?

crs

I read that book on Uganda Hunting many years ago and found it most interesting s I worked with a few Ugandans here in Texas back then.
Now, I cannot locate the book.

crs

I heard that you had given up on Euro Trash caliber rifles.

It may be good therapy to ask yourself "why do I want to do this" about 1000 times before you mess up a good 1895.

Seriously, what is our objective?

crs

For Sixgun or any pistol smiths that know the Model 39 and can answer my question. I am asking because I have two auto loaders that have this feature and it looks to be a simple mechanism. Their simple implementation provides a trouble free tactile and visual loaded/not loaded answer. Those are an o...

crs

Another plus, is that when driving around the ranch, the gun is free to draw - moreso than if carried strong side. This is true for right handed shooters.
Years ago, I bought a cross draw for my .44 mag just for driving on our hunting lease- worked out well.

crs

It has been decades since i attended or watched any professional sport.

Lots of better ways to spend my free time, especially since suppressors are available.

crs

Yes, a nice time to hunt. Elk season must b open now or soon in SE Colorado.

crs

The value of being prepared!

crs

Doc was correct when he said "Maybe I’m wrong ( :o ) but it sure seems like a levergun in 32-20, 327 Federal, 357 Mag, etc" The rifle seems easier to shoot accurately and does add velocity to the .357 round. 6 inch and 20 inch barrels- both just fine for their intended purpose: https://www.jpgbox.co...

crs

Interesting.
Let us know how it goes.

crs

I shoot the 1895 in .405 with a receiver sight and have no experience with your sight. However, why not contact the maker of the sight and ask for help? How does the rifle shoot using the original barrel sights? There may be members on this forum with the same rifle /sight that you have and if so, s...

Such people and programs are one reason that I watch very little TV.

R.I.P. Richard.
Thanks for many enjoyable outings and memorable hunts. You will be missed.

So sad! Back in the 1980s I made several business trips to Seattle and to Portland and was impressed with the scenery and people. Also did business with the government of BC, sometimes travelling through Seattle. Now the Pacific Northwest cities are flyover country for me. The country is beautiful, ...

Thanks Bill,
New to me, but as expected of no value for my hunting ranges which are mostly under 200 yards.

crs

.38 special ammo will not stabilize in my .357 Mag rifle.
The Douglas barrel was made for high velocity .357 ammo and shoots that well.

crs

Good one.
It is probably best to not take comments from the uninformed too seriously.

crs

Looks like fun.

A hunting buddy uses similar Browning in 30-06 and had killed a bunch with it. He even used it on our plains game trip to RSA and did very well- never needed a second shot.

crs

I must be OK as no forum has ever had to boot me off or censor me . OS should be a good moderator.

crs

"Too many silly, redundant questions as well as "expert" answers." AMEN! And I so detest those people that tell me not to hot rod my lever guns, but to buy a .458 Lott if I want to kill Cape Buffalo or elephants. When they do that, it only shows their ignorance, but they do not know enough about the...
