Ok, now that we brought it up, who should have played Cosner's role in Open Range? Kevin Costner did it great in my mind. Viggo Mortenson could have done it. Selleck is too cool to have a "past" -- the man is right here and right now. If i had to branch beyond this genre' (which is shrink...

I had some "Marlin Jam": yesterday which i chronicled in another thread. I was using Blazer aluminum cased ammo, which is strictly forbidden in MarlinWorld though, but fine everywhere else (1894 gun , 44 mag, not a 444 336 gun)

The last one I saw like that for sell in a shop was 1100.00. i haven't seen any Colt single action for less than 1500 -- usually with a lot more wear than Thunders. I figure 450$ plus 30 boxes of 223 is at least 1/2 price, maybe better Although i have to confess to getting involved with a minor lev...

Streetstar, Says right in my 1894P owner's manual on page 1 and I quote, "WARNING: Do not use Blazer brand ammunition in this rifle. The design is not compatible with the Marlin feeding system, and may result in live rounds inadvertently remaining in the magazine." Hope this helps, Thanks...

Have watched a million western and rimfire and I agree on most. Sam Elliot and Kate Capshaw in "Quick and the Dead" is about my favorite. Ok, I admit Capshaw is about the sexiest woman I have ever seen, at least in this movie. Other than that the Searchers does it for me. All good though....

Boy, this group is fast :D --- weapon is clear --- thanks to a liberal application of WD-40 to both help ease the projectile out and wash the powder out of the receiver --- the laptop is on my workbench and this is almost happening in real time (now the magazine tube spring has made off for parts un...

I took posession of a secondhand 1894 in .44 Magnum a few days ago, and today , a trip to the range was in order. Now i have heard tell that these things should hold 10 Mags or 11 Specials I purchased this as a plinking and varmint rifle, so i picked up a box of aluminum cased Blazer 44 specials. (i...

I am unaware of any effort by federal or state government to restrict civilian access to loading components. At the Sportsman's Warehouse where I work, Federal small pistol Gold Medal match primers are $34.99 per 1,000, and various other non-match primers are $27-$30 per 1,000 when we have them. Te...

I think most of this we are all creating ourselves. Paying prices like that! How can you honestly justify reloading? Ammo may not be the most plentiful, but if I watch the shelves I can still pick up more boxes a week than I can afford! With all the surge in primer, bullet and other reloading compo...

Welcome -- cool to see that you can have leverguns in England !

I realize we're talking westerns here but there is a good movie that is very authentic in its use of firearms and a good movie to boot, "The Ghost and the Darkness". Late 1890's(?) set in Africa. Changed my opinion on Lions. One of my favorites when I want something a little different. I ...

You'd expect to see that or better with good optics and a steady bench. But like you said, its funny how you had to work so hard to get mediocre groups. This load it seems to like, will it do it consistently? If so, it may just be a one-trick pony. And have you tried the Leverolution bullets with an...

I may get flamed for my opinion, but i think the Stevens is a great low cost hunting rifle, ------ however, you mentioned stretching it out to 500 yds --- if so, i honestly think you would be better served saving up some more cash for a heavy barrelled Savage in .308. The homely little black "t...

I. The Henry does have an Al receiver and I do not doubt that it will be junk within 50 years or so . The AR-15, among many other rifles , has an AL receiver which is subjected to much higher pressures than the little .22. Barring abuse or mistreatment, the little Henry should still be going strong...

I have a Henry and it is a seriously fun gun ------ but i would pick the Win 9422. Winchester is pretty much gone now except for a few special editions and Model 70's --- the 9422 would be fun and will never depreciate.

I will throw a curveball in there. "Copland" from 1997, with Stallone, DeNiro, Keitel and a few others was originally conceived as a western by the writer, aNd it watches like a modern western. Very cool movie -- a little bit of "blue language" but thats pretty common for more mo...

You wont be disappointed! Technically the gun pictured is the Springfield GI. The MILSPEC has a little more on the sights as well as a lowered ejection port. Mine has well over 1000 rds with only 1 FTF that occured on the 1st 50 rds. OK --- yep you are right. I guess i have been calling them "...
