Push it out with a cleaning rod.

The biggest improvement was cycling the lever. There was no resistance at the end of the lever stroke. Shoots good!

BenT

The problem I was trying to fix was the fact that I needed to squeeze the lever hard to disengage the lever safety. This was on a 94 in 307 Win, which needless to say I never found a magic load for. It never shot better than 2 MOA. Which is fine for deer hunting.

BenT

I fixed this by using a smaller diameter pin. I used the shank of a drill bit for a pin of the correct diameter. It was only a 1/64 smaller that the factory pin and it made all the difference.

BenT

Are you talking about on the lever or the bolt?

BenT

I use a ATV, my brother has a Suzuki Samuri which goes anywhere and is his wood cutting rig pulls a small trailer with it. It is handier than my younger brothers Ford Ranger. But Ranger are eaisier to find

Mine in 308 is one of my favorites. Carries like a 30-30 but with more power. In the late ninties I have a friend ,who shot a Marlin in 32 special , was going to buy a new bolt action in 30-06. I convinced him to buy a BLR. To this day he comments how great a gun it is. He is a advid deer hunting an...

How do you tell if you read a thread? Before if you read a thread it would no longer be in bold type. Nothing changes so it is hard to make out when I check back in what threads are new and which ones I have read. Just trying figure out where I left off the last time I checked in.

Bought a couple saddle ring slings from him. A man of good character. Life needs more characters.

They are fun to shoot with that short throw of the lever. I shot one in 30 carbine and it seem to hit what I was shooting at.Wasn't checking fro accuracy. It was the only gun chambered in 256 mag. I have run across the 30 carbine many times, but never one in 256. I have a Levermatic in 22LR that is ...

Travel safe and enjoy your time.

I looked at the Barnes 160 gr and you will need to make a dummy load to see how AOL will work. I think you will need to loose the tip to do it. I can send you a few pieces of 307 brass to use. Then if you want to send me a dummy round I can run it through my 356 to see how it functions.

BenT

You need a FFL if you take possesion of someone elses firearm. You will need to record every firearm that comes and goes, serial number and owners name and address . It is not reported to the ATF , but the informaion is availble for inspection if requested.

BenT

The parts auction has all the internal parts you need and more. You could go that way then resell the parts you don't need. But you will probably get the bug and then start picking up other parts guns to fix. At guns shows levers go for about $20 , the bolt $30 -$40 . Lower tangs $35-$40. Plus you n...

BenT

I like the way you think! It will be affordable because you should be able to use 338 Federal dies and JES can use a 338 federal head space guage. The bullet will be set deeper because of AOL. So you will loose case capacity for powder. Starting loads for the 338 Federal might be your maximum. I not...

When I got a new caliber I would go straight to Ken Waters Pet Loads and try some of his loads. His book is one of my favorites. RIP

According to the book Old Gunsights and Rifle Scopes. John H Redfield started his gunsight business in 1909 naming it the Western Gunsight Company. In the late 20's it was changed to Redfield because of Western Cartridge objected to the use of the name. So your sight was made between 1909 an the lat...

Happy Birthday Gentlemen!

Give Pearsons a call. They could be working on one.

That's good news. I tried to run it out when my last employer eliminated my job. Severence was $1K for every year of service. That would of been $29K at the finish line. I didn't make it, my current job came up and I had to make the move. So no money from them to go away. It was well worth it. I get...

If the Oaks are that old they are probably hollow. Most oaks are harvested at about 85 years of age. With power line right of way, there is little you can do. I would hire someone to cut them the way you want, instead of letting the power company determine it. If you do it right they won't have a re...

BenT

Mike is one of my favorites. I hope everything is well.

BenT

I have been looking for one for well over a decade and never ran across one to fondle. Great find!

BenT

NICE! Never connected with a coyote with mine. Where is the snow?

BenT

I shoot a lot of 32 long and 32 H&R. Reload and you can shoot at almost the cost of 22 ammo. The brass last a long time and the my load uses 3 grains of powder, 7000 grains per pound, so a pound of powder last a long time. One of those is on the list. When I find old single shot guns in 32 rimfi...

BenT

I hope things went well.

BenT

With bolt peep! NICE!

BenT

If you like the single six, get a single seven. I've been carrying a single six in 32 H&R as a woods gun for years, now I carry the single seven. If you are carrying a rifle already , you need a smaller caliber for pests not dangerous game. I've shot a lot of skunks and coons with the 32 H&R...

BenT

Someone has a decent one in 308 in the classified section at rugerforum. Make him an offer.

BenT

Marbles Game getter scope mount.

Nice Savage 99's in 300 savage can be found for around $500. In fact last year I was at a Cabelas and they had a very good 90% condition 99 in 300 Savage for $550. So they can't bring that much cash if Cabelas sell them at that price. Get on line and check the Cabelas stores , 300 Savages are very r...

BenT

Good snag! That is the 99 configuration I have been looking for but don't run across. 1 in 10 twist , perfect for Wisconsin whitetail woods hunting. I don't care about the collectablity, it just seems like a handy setup for hunting. You done well at that price.

BenT

SUPERCOOL! Most people over look the smaller stuff at shows. That is the main reason I go to shows is for all the smaller items moulds, levergun parts,etc. I come home all excited when I score something like that mould. My wife just stares at me , like I am losing it.

BenT

Six, that cat is messed up. They are supposed to land on their feet!

I used to see a lot of foxes around. Years ago anytime I was doing field work there was a large red fox that would sit on rock at the edge of the field and watch for mice. When coyote population got higher, I don't see many foxes. I shoot every coyote I see but I leave the foxes alone. I still deer ...

BenT

Will do!

BenT

Happy Birthday! Any luck deer hunting this year.

I have been looking for a reason to buy a Henry and this would be it. This is going towards the top of the list. Ben, are these made in Rice Lake? I need one with that stamp Brad Yes all centerfires are made in Rice Lake. I want a Henry made in WI, so this would be it. :D Nothing else they have app...

This looks like one would have hard time reaching the hammer when gripping the pistol grip. The same can be said about a Mossberg shotgun thumb safety with a pistol grip. Not very fluid.

Is there another type to hunt with? This is from about 4 years ago. My son and brother photo bombing the picture.

I forgot to mention that I used 357 cast bullets that I sized to352 also. But the plated bullet are cost effective to use. Same with the 401 (which uses.406 bullets) use 41 mag cast bullets and size them down. You may aslo read about cutting extractor grooves in the brass. That is not neccesary beca...

BenT

Grafs's has piles of plated bullets for the 351 and 401 Winchester, so bullets aren't a issue. I use 357 brass and dies for the 351. I first turned the rim down by putting the brass in a drill press and using a file. Then I bought a mini lathe and it is easier now. The 357 brass is a little short bu...

HappY Birthday Gentlemen!

Angle Ejects are milled receivers while post 64 top ejects are investment cast. Cutting the receiver away for angle eject would affect the structural integrity. Not worth the hassle plenty of angle ejects out there.

The extrator is cut at about 1 o'clock in the barrel instead of 12 o'clock.

BenT

NICE! Meat in the freezer.

Need to see some leverguns in the pictures.

BenT

Happy Birthday!

Jay you are going to be O.K. I am going to tell you that are more marketable than you think. It's been two years since my job was eliminated after 29 years and 7 months. I was bumming until I started looking for jobs. I added 15 K onto the wage I was making to give some negotiating room. My first in...

Browning in 30-06
35 Win

Both are very accurate.

I have a new stock for the 35 Win , just haven't gotten around to fitting it. But it is going deer hunting this year.

BenT

That is funny! :lol: People need to get a sense of humor. People are getting to be wusses. They are offended so they call somebody, instead of doing something, like put up a bigger Hilary sign. That would take too much effort. These people would not even know how to make a sign. Don't try to be succ...
