I have the one for "Ruger" bases, and used it first on a 7mm Number One, but then on a Redhawk (just to see if 'peeps' were doable on a handgun - and now I have 'peeps' on my Contender instead of a scope because of that experiment!), and finally, on a 77/22 rifle. Well made, durable, nice ...

AJMD429

Whoa Nite Ryder, you need to be careful with that combination. In the BATFE,s eyes your muzzle attachment would have to be welded on permanently to count as a 16+ inch barrel. Just don't want to see someone get in trouble over an unintentional mistake. That is correct. Attachment must be permanent....

I was on the other day and their search engine was faster (maybe a beta test?) - it asked if you wanted to limit to "in stock" items, which was nice.

I was just looking for an obsolete sight part, so wasn't a big deal - not a big rush on 100-year-old antique parts (yet)...

Well, then - looks like we're all in agreement, right...?

I still like my Ruger 96/22 better... :evil: :lol: http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa132/AJMD429/Leverguns%20etc/RugerLeverandSingleAction22s.jpg I just love the short, smooth, lever throw - and the interchangeability of magazines with my 10/22. If I couldn't find one at an affordable price, I wo...

Thanks. I haven't gotten around to slugging any muzzleloader barrels yet (and I don't currently have a "45" muzzleloader), but I'll bet I won't get any "45" sabots to crimp as well in a .45-70 as a .460 S&W, which I don't have. There's always the 500 S&W, though...and it'...

Anyone know the groove diameter of a modern .50 and .45 cal muzzleloader? I would like to try sabot loads in a cartridge gun, but am torn between a .500 S&W (which I'd have to buy) and a .45-70 (which I have) and a .460 S&W (which I'd have to buy). I want to use sabots of a reasonable diamet...

I think you're right. The .357 Mag is enough. However, it isn't a Max. The Max approaches the .35 Rem performance (and surpasses some .35 Rem factory loads). The Max will move 180 gr. 100-200 fps faster than the mag will move 158 gr. and will move 200 gr. as fast as the 158s from the Mag. Hobie, wh...

I was lucky. When I was about six years old, I killed my own pet cat with an 'unloaded' gun; it actually HAD just fired, and was a single shot, and the bullet had hit, and made a hole in, a can 50 feet away. It was a 'caseless' ammo design, and I presume as I stood up and turned, some remnant powder...

Thank you for the replies. Looks like Marlin is the way to go. AJMD429, interesting you pick the 444 may I ask why? It is a better companion to my .44 Ruger, sort of. 1.

AJMD429

SInce you already have a 'carbine' type gun that can flatten whitetail out to 100 yards, I'd get the larger full-size Marlin (I'd get it in .444 though, but that's another story). Anyway, no sense going for the .454 if its only realy advantage is trading off a slight amount of power for 'handiness' ...

AJMD429

I used to have one, too. We used to find pig iron balls, about 1/4" in diameter, around the train tracks. Apparently that's how they ship iron, in bulk, in open cars, and as the cars get jostled some of the iron balls bounce out. I would fill a bag of these and they made grrreat slingshot ammo...

No - the cooler temperatures are actually evidence of warming - now, since I explain it that way, doesn't it make sense now...?

If I'm going to use the gun (i.e. it isn't a Safe Queen) I'll be wanting to carry other things while using it, and perhaps use the sling to hang it on a branch instead of lean it in the mud against a tree, so I sling them all. I don't think a well-installed sling swivel stud hurts a gun at all, barr...

I don't mind the base and 'ears' stuff - I just want to get the sight blade itself out of the way, since it fills the lower half of the 'peep' view. I can't recall the elevation settings that zeroed at 100 yards, so it may not be an issue (the blade may in its fully lowered position not be in the wa...

I think a high-speed, heat-causing grinder or cutter might change the 'temper' of the steel, but anything sensible shouldn't. I'd not go to 16-1/4" though just because I'm paranoid about what some JBT goon might do - maybe pound the end of it with a ball peen hammer enough to shorten it 1/4&quo...

I managed to install a Williams FP on the gun without screwing it up so far :!: but am unsure how to remove the rear sight. There is a screw at the rear which I removed but it looks like all it does is impinge on the rear part of the sight 'carriage' and keep it perhaps from sliding. Do I have to dr...

Maybe on Marlin Owners forum I saw a post from someone with a .357 B&D 1894 like that.

It illustrates the fact that mainstream 'journalists' are mostly worthless, shallow, arrogant, liars with an agenda.

1. Practical Answer - order an extra barrel in whatever configuration you want - 'normal' or 'target/bull' or 'carbon fiber/lined' or whatever. Install that and you're good to go - PLUS have an extra barrel. You can then slowly experiment and probably 'do' that old barrel yourself and learn/have fun...

If they thought it was a cosmetic issue, they could have easily 'thickened' the crane a bit there, so at least half of the front below the cylinder pin would be 'closing the gap' - I don't think they cared about it, and not sure I do either.
