the barnes original .375 and .377 bullets are available right now, so you have some options

FLINT

kind of neat

features a levergun

the most interesting thing to me is the apparently rarely fired savage 99.

I asked this same question a year or so ago, when reloading components were unobtainable. They still kind of are or are stupid expensive. I finally just paid probably way too much to get some WLR primers. l I plan to only reload cartridges that are obsolete or effectively obsolete. Unfortunately, I ...

FLINT

ouch. no thanks! I had a steven 10 ga break action that the original owner had removed the stock weight from. The stock had a crack in it from it's recoil. I killed a deer and a few turkeys with it. one time I shot every available 10ga turkey load in it to see which one patterend the best. OUCH! I h...

FLINT

Thanks for the report. I am interested I'm putting together a load that would replicate that velocity for a short range deer load. I have yet to find any 40 cal JSP bullets though. Ted, Hawk offers a 180gr hp that's designed for the 38-40 but I have never tried any myself. Ken Waters includes some ...

FLINT

the other annoying thing is that the signature required deliver was scheduled for today - between 10 and 2:30. So I sat at home that whole time. Nothing. Still hasn't come. Hopefully someone will be around tomorrow if/when they ever show up as it will be annoying to have to go down to the fedex hub ...

FLINT

how come loaded ammo - which contains live primers, and powder, and a bullet - can be left sitting on your porch, but just primers by themselves, with no powder or bullet, require someone to sign for delivery. major pain, and not immediately logical to me.

FLINT

Just because it's inexpensive, doesn't mean that it's junk necessarily. I have a Klein folding knife (model 44001) that is a very good knife and is (or was) made in Japan. the stainless steel blade (Aus 8 ) is the equivalent of 440C which is a good steel - which is what used to be used on the older ...

FLINT

Ok. Nevermind, that's pretty bad

FLINT

that's not so bad. I was expecting much worse. I've seen worse for sure

FLINT

Since I've been thinking about the model 71 rifle and 348 cartridge again lately, I've read some articles and watched some videos, and one thing I've heard a few times now is how the .348 diameter is an odd caliber size and that possibly Winchester may have been more likely to choose another odd/ori...

FLINT

can't wait......

FLINT

Seems to me that when you are dealing with that much slow burning powder, 3 grains isn't as much of a difference. maybe I'm wrong. also, what would you compare the kick to? I have everything needed to start loading for the 348 myself except for primers. I'm wondering what kind of punishment awaits me.

FLINT

Thanks! I'll do that.

I'll probably go with the pre-64 type since that's what you used and it works for sure.

FLINT

I was preparing to load for the 348 a year or so ago and read a ton of forum posts and H4350 seems to be a favorite. I now have brass, bullets, and powder. Still need primers........

FLINT

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) If you have a spare post 64 receiver I can sell you everything else to mak...

FLINT

Thanks! I'll keep an eye on it

FLINT

I saw a video that indicated that Rossi was going to discontinue the R92 and that they would be made by Heritage instead. Can anyone verify whether this is true, or fake news? Also does anyone have experience with Heritage model 92 rifles? How do they compare to Rossis?

FLINT

Hi all, I finally got my numrich octagon 38-55 barrel installed on my receiver. I'm about 50% confident it won't blow up the first time I shoot it, but I've got a ways to go before I'm ready for that anyways. First, I need to figure out exactly what I need for the forend, cap, tenon, etc. the more I...

FLINT

Nope, not presently. You can check ammoseek once a month or so and if you want to pay $5+ per round you could check GunBroker. Hornady must have done a run of them at some point within the past year because I picked up one box I don't remember how many months ago for I think $65-75 which is for sure...

3031 with 150s

FLINT

I had an old savage/stevens break action 12 ga that had a 30" barrel and had some damage to the choke/bore. What I did was measure a bunch of times and mark all the way around the barrel and then wrapped tape around the barrel and then used that tape as a guide for my hacksaw and cut the barrel...

FLINT

I bet if you watch ebay one will pop up eventually. just do a saved search and you'll get an email when one get's listed. They have several 90s master catalogs for sale right now, but not 94.

FLINT

Terrific.

I guess I just have to hope that he didn't "screw" it all up.

FLINT

Great

back to the duct tape idea

FLINT

ok, so it doesn't need to be tightened down as far as it will turn. seems like it might be ok then. That's about as tight as he got it by hand before needing the wrench. maybe will just need a little duct tape

FLINT

Did he torque it past center or is it just hand tight and went past center? You have to index to have some torque ,at least 1/16" -3/16" rotational prior to top dead center. You could use precision steel shim but you will see it at frame face . Look like chit. For me first step would be c...

FLINT

quick question on barrel fit. I've got a 60s era 94 receiver and one of the numrich 38-55 octagon barrels. it's been at the gunsmith for a while and today when I checked on it, he'd actually started working on it. He said that all the way tightened, the top of the barrel was a little past center. wh...

FLINT

ok, thanks for the info. I think that the Hornady LE 32 special brass was short also. I used to have some but sold it all. I wasn't sure which all cartridges had the shorter brass.

FLINT

There are charts that will tell you the choke diameter for each caliber. You can measure your bores and determine what choke you have. I bought a single shot 16ga stevens several years ago. measured the bore and determined it had a full choke. I took it to a gunsmith with a lathe and for very little...

FLINT

is the hornady brass shorter than normal? is it the same brass they use in the leverevolution ammo? I think I read somewhere that at least some of those cartridges had shorter brass.

FLINT

no, like anything new, I'm always suspicious

FLINT

Hi all, Does anyone know why the classic Federal C357B 125 gr. SJHP load was discontinued? I believe this was most recently offered in a blue box that said personal defense on it - at least that's what the box I have looks like. The only 125gr. load Federal now offers in 357 is something called trai...

FLINT

I originally wanted a Henry, and have been casually looking at/for them for the last year or so, but they were never available, and would occasionally pop up on gun broker but never for less than $1200 and often around $1500 which is kind of crazy. also, the 14" LOP on the henry's just makes me...

FLINT

Does anyone convert the magazine tubes on ROSSI R 92s to the style like Henry does? It seems to be a safer system especially for unloading. I know, I grew up with Winchesters and Marlins, and we always had to unload cycling the rounds thru the chamber. I am 73, and have never had a problem, but it ...

FLINT

Hmm, strange. I responded earlier, but my response isn't here. I said that my experience with chickens was much different. I regularly had hens that would try to go broody and sit on eggs and I'd have to spray them with a water bottle every day to snap them out of it. What kind of chickens do you ha...

My new Marlin 1894 in 357 Mag is 16" I'm pretty sure, and I thought my old (2010 and 1980) ones were too. https://stockmarlinarms.com/marlin-1894-cst-38-357-mag-suppressor-ready-lever-action-rifle/ ...but I don't see it on Marlin's website any more... :| ...and I guess the older ones were 18&q...

FLINT

Well, I've been thinking about a 357 carbine for a while, and would prefer a 16" barrel for sure. I was looking at the 16" henry's but they seem to be non-existant. They pop up on gunbroker sometime, but they go for $1200 - $1500. The new marlins are at least $1200 and don't come with a 16...

FLINT

Maybe this has been discussed in the last year, but if so I missed it.

I'm seeing a lot of recent videos that are making new Rossi R92s look pretty good. Can anyone confirm that they may be improving - not suggesting that they were ever terrible - or maybe they were.

Thanks

FLINT

you probably know this but those scope mount holes can be filled by a gunsmith. I have a 94 that had scope mount holes drilled into the receiver and I had a gunsmith fill them and you can almost not tell that they were ever there.

FLINT

Beautiful guns! congrats! and fine shooting too!

FLINT

Good luck finding a .218 bee for less than $1000 in any condition. An original winchester in good condition is going to be closer to $2000. You can't buy a used 30-30 for $500 any more. Any of the niche calibers command a significant mark up.

FLINT

after a lot of research, I bought some H4350 for loading in the 348. I was planning to go with Hawk bullets probably, but leverguns 50 recently posted a video using some North Fork 230 grain bullets that seem pretty good, so I might give them a try as well https://youtu.be/nTihauxoYHU?si=-a-9DG3ce-r...

I bought this one for my wife for I think our first anniversary in 2003. https://i.postimg.cc/xd8mM2PW/IMG-20240127-183939562.jpg I'm pretty sure I paid $290 for it, and my wife was horrified that I spent so much money. It's actually a really sweet shooter and VERY accurate. Much more accurate than ...

this chart only goes up to 18" and it looks like velocity MAY be still increasing at that point, but not much, and looks like it depends on the load

My two nephews did it and these brothers from the same parents got such different results about ancestry that we know is impossible.
