What can they learn from us? We are just peons. I say we start our own group. We can call it "Shootists Elite" or "Homeboy Shootists". Maybe "Shootists Without a Holiday" Even, "Shootists From The Other Side Of The Tracks". Or, if I keep talking, "Shootis...

Yo dudes, , just be yourself. Personally, I'm not changing for nobody. People will either like you or dislike you. Everything in this world is PERCEPTION. People let their minds wander and slant what somebody says to either the negative side or the positive side. I don't think there are any jerks he...

I have one of those and its a "safe queen" NIB. I have been saving it for a rainy day or a good offer to sell. Mine was a factory sample that was used at the S.H.O.T. show and has been D&T for a tang sight. Do you shoot cast with it? It just might give me somethibng to do this winter--...

While we are on this subject I'd like to pose a question to the SAA board of Regents. Since Colt does not chamber an SAA in .44 Spec. only anymore, Is the chambering of .44-40 that they do offer with the optional .44 Spec. as accurate as one chambered only in .44 ? Any thoughts on the .44-40 cartri...

I agree with Mike - I have not seen many deer in Pennsylvania all year - they must know you are coming.... Andy, I live in Pa. and they are like rabbits around here but............I live in Delaware county. I hunt upstate but I only go for the camping and "being in the outdoors" as I rare...

I may be all wet here, and even though I personally have not had the best of luck in the reliability dept. with Marlin 94's in 44mag, I believe for this game, I would give one of the long barreled Marlin Cowboys with the octagon barrel a try, because I believe it would be the most accurate. Lastmoh...

There's an item everyone missed when loaning a firearm. 1.) If the guy needs to borrow a firearm, most likely the reason is that he does not have one---therefore, he "might" be unknowledgable with firearms, yours in particular. 2.) If he does something neglectful or stupid with that firear...

Sixgun

Extremely rare. I don't mean to unfairly question you but......... 1.) Did the primer have a good dent on it from the firing pin? (this indicates a properly headspaced firearm or other mechanical problems. 2.) Do you know the history of the ammo as to storage conditions or age? I don't shoot much fa...

If its an old antique rifle, I don't like to center punch 'em or tap down the "wings" of the dovetail, although that does work good. Anymore, on a nice rifle I just lightly sandpaper the contact areas, degrease it and apply some epoxy. When it comes time to remove, a sharp tap with a light...

Ji- Yea, I will agree with 'ya on "Guns and Ammo" but with your recommendation, I'll pick one up, as I do like reading anything on the 45-70. For some reason, Guns and Ammo, along with Shooting Times has become boring and repetitive. Maybe its because we are learning more and most of what ...

Any of you guy's with a 1895 Winchester use a tang or do you just go with the reciever sight? Longhair, The only way you can put a tang sight on a '95 without the bolt knocking it back is by the use of a "special base" sight made by Marbles, but............They have not been made since th...

I saw this coming several years ago. Todays BIG American gun manufacturers cannot compete with CZ, Taurus, Uberti, etc. Like most American manufacturing jobs, the gun business is soon to be a thing of the past here in the USA. I truly expect Remington, Marlin, and Savage to go the way of Winchester....

Sixgun, that remind's me of Randolph, the brown-nosed reindeer. Know how he got his name?........being in line right behind Rudolph. Santa stopped his sleigh to quickly one trip, & guess what happened?!?! (HA!) jd45 Ha! Looks like Randolph got his nostrils full of Preparation H!!! Don McDowell,...

Sixgun

A gun from that era should have no pitting (in the barrel) Like the other boys said, you did right. There's a truckload of those guns out there for that kind of money. Sometimes it helps that after he refuses your offer, leave him your contact info. You will probably get a call.-------Sixgun

Super buck!

And thats OK that it not a levergun, it is a nice Winchester AND with a period scope. Those old K-Series Weavers are nearly indestructable.----------Sixgun

He would be shot-----after torture. :D The treating of a fine antique like that is almost as bad as abusing a dog. :x I don't know about you boys, but everyone I deal with has their own guns and if for some strange reason someone did need a gun, they sure would not get a fine '93 Marlin to learn on....

Sixgun

Shawn, I would say your '95 shoots pretty good. Much better than mine as mine will not shoot jacketed. I have to shoot cast sized to .312. BTW, that sure is a late 1895. Not many came out of the factory in the 30's. Ravenman--Looks like a really fun place to shoot. I see you got steel and plenty of ...

Dastook, Chuck 100 Yd hit the nail on the head. I am 53 and all of my leverguns are equipped with tang sights. Just focus on the front sight, leave the target a little fuzy and the eye will automatically center itself. Below is a picture of my son with his Browning 1886 SRC with a tang sight I insta...

Not so-- The "Marlin Jam" is a reality and I would bet my Lorcin .380 on it. :D (I don't have any of that Lorcin junk) Anyway, on to business: I spend my life around leverguns and I have seen more than a few Marlins with that problem. I have also seen more with no problems. As for personal...

I got in late here on this subject. I have never been big on the 45 L. Colt. Elmer & Skeeter ruined me on the 44 Spl. Anyway, I only have 3 sixguns chambered for the grand ole 45 LONG Colt. #1 is a 1941 produced Colt New Service. Made for the New York State Police. http://www.hunt101.com/data/50...

El mac, Not everyone here has been around as long as Terry who really is a walking book of sixgun knowledge so let me humble myself and try to explain a little of the 44 Spl.

There is a lot of truth on the Colt. First, If someone was going to drop me in Alaska with one handgun and I had to live on it, it would be a Ruger NM. Colts 3rd gens. are expensive but when it comes time to sell, you get your money back if the time frame is several years or so. Won't do that with a...

Sixgun

Depends if they were pre 1952 or not. (as to value) The long forend (pre-52) is more desirable and a near new specimen might bring 6 but more likely 4-4.5 . Short forend (1952-1963) can be had around here for 3-4 in 95% or better. That will all change in the next couple of years as guys who can't af...

Yea, most of the time here for the camaderie. I have never bought a gun online but I have sold a few. I find it much easier to "wheel and deal" at gunshows. Here in Pa. there is a gunshow somewhere just about every weekend. And good gunshows like the Allentown, Harrisburg, York, Leesport, ...

Copy that Mr. 71. And the same to you and yours. Those people you saw knew the true meaning of life better than we do.

No quality problems from that era--just some final finishing and smoothness of the action is not as nice as previous SAA's. Cubrock is mighty close because if you look around you can find them NIB at about that price, but you did not mention: 1.) Are they NIB? 2.) If not, do they have the boxes? 3.)...

No, I don't like it. I have done enough long range shooting in my life to know there are too many variables that come into play at ranges past 400 yards, especially with a cold barrel and no bench rest.----------Sixgun

Is there enough room on the sites mainframe for all I have to list?
