Can anybody recommend a good scout scope for use on a Marlin 1894 in 357, and what kind of base to use as well?

Blessings to All

First, Welcome to the Forum

Second, Doesn't Browning make a 22 with the loading port in the stock?

While its technically not a "loading gate," the shells do get fed into it.

Just my 2 cents

What makes you think that we drive on the wrong side?

The real question is how much wood could a wood chuck, chuck, if a wood chuck, could chuck wood?

Thanks for the memories Rusty. A lot of them fellas were past their prime when I was growing up but I watched them in reruns and STILL enjoy watching them today (I'm 55) Who ever did that video did a HELL of a job with the graphics, and its too bad more Cowboys couldn't have been added. Blessings, U...

Out of curiosity, were the cartridges green with age?

Joe/Bruce Wouldn't it just be safer to not keep a live round in the chamber like in a single action pistol? It seems kind of odd that the hammer would be in the half cock position, instead of being in the fully down position. I guess I will have to do more research on the subject, but thanks for the...

Just what is a rebounding hammer?

Old Savage,

I was the one who did not get the "hens teeth" humor,
I guess it comes with just being a dumb city boy

ps They look real to me

30-30 Trappers come with hen's teeth these days - I have seen one in the last 10 years and the gun shop owner's son kept that one.


Old Savage- Can you clarify just what does "comes with hen's teeth these days" mean?

UncleBuck

Thanks For the information

Can anyone suggest any good lever action gunsmiths in the Cleveland/Northern Ohio area?
I have a Marlin 39A and 1894 cowboy 357 that I would like to have some work done.
Thanks
UncleBuck

Definately

Yes, consider it done for I have just added my prayer to everyone elses.

Arminius,
Just went to the Lee web site and their case trimmer is definitely different.
Thanks for the info

UncleBuck

tomclink,

Just went to the Forstner web site and their COAX press does appear to be very well made. I have not seen such detailed information on the press itself from any other manufacturers web site.
Thanks for the tip

UncleBuck

I appreciate all of the advice everyone has given me. I think that I WILL start with a single stage press and thoroughly learn how to reload that way, then go to a progressive. I know RCBS's Rockchucker is upgradeable to a turret press, and so are a few others. Once again, many thanks to all :) Uncl...

Reliable to me means that the equipment is rugged and well made and has a low percentage of "breaking down." I realize that a single stage reloader is simpler to use then a turret press, and would have less moving parts to "break," but I would like to not have to keep changing fr...

I don't know if this topic has been addressed in the past but being a new member I could use some advice. Can anyone recommend some good, RELIABLE, loading equipment from experience? It would be used primarily for pistol cartridges, but maybe 233/308 as well. I would be interested in a progressive m...

You are going to get old anyway, whether or not you decide to go get your college degree. Therefore, my advice to you is DO IT. :lol: :lol: It's better to give it a try and be unsuccessful, then to NEVER have tired and wish that you had. Hell, I'm 55 and am going for a masters Degree in Nursing this...

An excellent one volume book written on the War Between the States would be "A Short History of the Civil War", by Fletcher Pratt. If memory serves me correct it was written about 1948-49, and I remember reading it as a kid in the 1960's. I don't know if it is still in print but if you go ...

RSY,

I took your advice and re-read J Millers post and think I now understand: Winchesters 2 locking bolts vs the Marlin's 1.

Thanks

Unfortunately I do not reload my own ammunition, but nevertheless if I did, I would not exceed recommended loading pressures. My original inquiry as to the strengths of each respective action was to satisfy my curiosity since I am a relatively new owner of of a Marlin 1894 in 357 calibre, and have j...

Many thanks to all that replied to my post!

Hope everyone has a great 4th!

UncleBuck

So, is that why the marlin 1894 can only handle pistol loads due to the lower operating pressure, or do I have it wrong?

Can anyone enlighten me in simple terms why the 1892 model has a stronger action than does the 1894?

UncleBuck

Yes

Hobie,

Will the edit avatar automatically resize my picture so it will correctly fit within the forum's parameters?

Thanks for the welcome and replies!
I'll give it another try and see what I can do.
The picture I want to use is in the "my pictures" file.
In the meantime I will just enjoy all the informative posts!

God Bless!!!!

Howdy Everyone, This is a great forum site, which is why I decided to join. One question at this time is how do I go about to add a picture to my profile using the avatar function? I've tried to do so but can't figure it out (I know enough about computers to be dangerous to mine!) Can anyone give me...
