Thanks Stefan.
My pleasure, Pitchy! I am so amazed with people who are so talent like you are....
For me, I have the thumb in the middle of my hand as we say here in Sweden....
Thanks for the report and the pictures. Very interesting as always.
The carbine look very good but I must also admit that the snow shoes.... Wow!! Want a pair... Well, I guess it will be hard to find these in Sweden so...
So many nice knives.... Here is a picture of some of my Bowies.... I guess. the picture say more about my skill as a photographer than anything else.... :D First my Randall, then Cold Steel Trail master, Cold Steel Trail master stag, Hugo Köller, Fällkniven Tor, Fällkniven Odin.... Pitchy, please te...
I really love the guns from the old west like old Winchester and Marlin leverguns, first generations Colt SAA and so on.... but I also love the Bowie knife.... Unfortunately I do not own an antique Bowie but I got this one a few days ago.... A Randall Bowie.... I must admit that I love it.... Randal...
Thank you, guys for the nice words.... I really appreciate it! My 1886 TD .45-90 was made by Miroku and has been used to shoot targets and game from Blackbuck to Bison and Cape Buffalo. I have never seen one by Miroku "live" so to speak but it looks really good....Want one.... :D Have seen...
Here is a couple of my Winchester 86 in caliber 45-90....Sorry, if I have been showing them before.... it is raining here now so I guess I am just bored.... The first one is mfg 1890 and the other one 1909.... Want one with full lenght magazine and octagonal barrel but that doesn´t show up here ofte...
Sixgun and 65bee, Thanks for your nice words.... I really appreciate it.... As a point of interest, what are these rifles bringing in your home-land? Well, it seems to go for only a fraction of the prices in the U.S.A.... Again, I really appreciate all the help I always get in this forum. Thank you ...
65bee, thanks for your kind words. For me, coming from Sweden it is amazing what value you put on my Winchester rifles. Anyway, I know that the prices on old leverguns differs when you compare Sweden and the U.S.A. Those Winchester rifles come from different kind of estates here in Sweden and belong...
I do not know yet if I shall sell or trade or just keep them ...I just got information about an American guy who export guns to the U.S.A. from Sweden and he was willing to help me.... I have no ideà what these kind of rifles should go for in the U.S.A....What I know is that it is usually a big diff...
Hi guys.... I need your help.... In your opinion what should be a realistic price for those two Winchester 86 in the U.S.A? Both have fabric letters.... The first one mfg 1894 and the other one 1902.... Any opinion at all should be very much appreciated.... Best, Stefan Sweden http://i439.photobucke...
The sales brochure say this about the steel: We can now present a world first as regards the blade - it's in laminated VG10 steel, where the edge is made of our now renowned VG10 steel and the sides consist of tough, all-stainless 420J2 steel. This combination is unquestionably the best, since it br...
Again, thank you very much for your nice comments. I really appreciate it. This one I want to share is a Winchester mod 1886, mfg 1894, caliber .50 EX. Original and exactly as the factory letter says. You have wonderful rifles, guys....I just wish that I could have the quality on my pictures as you ...
Here is one of my Winchester 1894s, caliber .25-35 Winchester, mfg 1898, tdk, double set triggers, Lyman tang sight, Winchester sling and sling hooks....exactly as the letter says.... In Sweden we are allowed to hunt up to small deer with the caliber....guess, it is different in the U.S.A.... It has...
Thank you all for your suggestions....
Wisners and all on ebay up to now do not sell abroad so my friend have to solve this in another way...
Again, thanks!
A friend of mine have an old Marlin mod. 1895, mfg 1905. He need an original extractor for it....Should be happy if someone could guide me in the right direction. Any help at all should be very much appreciated.

I have been ordering brass but I could not wait until I should get it so I took two cartridges and pulled the trigger and that was just WONDERFUL. Crescent buttplate, no problem at all. Okey, my first choice should not be to shoot it in a bench but I shall try that also. :shock: It is a wonderful ri...
I'd personally save that ammo because I like neat old stuff or at least sell it to some collector and use the proceeds to buy modern brass, bullets, or loaded ammo. 457121, you have a good point there. I will be looking for brass with the correct caliber markings. I believe Hornady have it. If not,...
Thank you very much all of you for your inputs. I really appreciate it! This rifle I bought from an elderly man and he have been hunting with the guy who bought this 95 new. Soon after he bought it he took of the buttstock and made himself a new buttstock. Wonder why? :mrgreen: That buttstock should...
This Winchester mod. 1895, caliber .405 WCF I bought yesterday. Even when I think the model 1895 is ugly if I compare with the model 1886 I could not resist this one. Any opinons at all about this rifle should be very much appreciated. I belive the rear sight is not original. Best, Stefan Sweden htt...
Thank you very much, all of you, for your opinions.
I really appreciate it.
Could anyone on this forum perhaps recommend a book about American made powder flasks?
Maybe there is no book written yet about this subject, I do not know.
I am sorry for the bad pictures of this powderflask but is it possible to say if it is a fake or an original? Any opinion at all should be very much appreciated. /Stefan http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq118/Hombre1_bucket/Kruthorn001_zps8facc5d9.jpg http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq118/Hombr...
Thanks for the report, Pop. I find it very interesting! Most 1886's I see in Australia are in 38-56 Most I see are 38-56 and 40-82. Have you guys ever thought of why you very seldom find a Winchester 86 in caliber 45-70 in your place and that the ones you find are in 38-56 and 40-82? I am curious be...
