My crescent style butt plate is a work of art and compliments the rifle nicely. But does it ever slide around on the shoulder, thinking about non-skid surface options.

Is this something you get used to and can just ignore?

Canuck Bob

Wonderful, thanks so much. Is that a Standard or Improved Marbles Sight?

Happy with it?

Can you work the safety with it on the rifle?

Canuck Bob

Hoping to find a pic of a Winoku 92 with the Marble's tang sight designed for the rifle.

Canuck Bob

I recently bought a long barrel Winoku 92 take down in 32-20. After receiving it I found one concern, the balance point. Its a little barrel heavy in the hand. I like my lever to balance with a hand hold just in front of the gaurd. The way an iron sighted levergun fits the hand while carrying is its...

I'm so jealous of your fine revolver and your gun laws!

Now that is a sidearm to be reckoned with!

I'm not looking for a fight, honest. I like my old 10/22 just as it is. I put a WGRS peep on it in the early 70's and refinished the walnut carbine stock with Truoil (yes they came stock with walnut a long time ago) and have loved its performance ever since. I originally bought it because it looked ...

Round ball muzzleloaders are always faced with the reality that thier projectiles are sadly lacking in most modern ways. However they perform well in the field. I've never used a 41 Mag but they seem like a deer round to me. As always the proper bullet within a sensible range. They sure seem to deve...

Canuck Bob

What a great picture, thanks.

Canuck Bob

I've spent by far more time on my first pound of 32-20 powder than I've spent doing my taxes. Have I got my priorities backward guys? Yes, I'm getting a refund and locked in hard negotiations with the family banker for shooting supplies. Obama thinks he has budget problems!!!! Barb makes the tea par...

Canuck Bob

Good point Hobie! Thanks for a chuckle.

Canuck Bob

Wow, I'm hearing more about possible dirty powder. Since mine is a takedown and I plan on using the feature I'm thinking of switching to VV N110. It gets great reviews for cleanliness and consistency and is available locally. a bit pricey but at 700 rounds per pound not really an issue. Gotta love t...

Canuck Bob

Lil'Gun seems like a dandy powder. Just never tracked down any data for the 32-20.

Canuck Bob

Model airplane hobby shop. A pack with .001, .0015, .003 and up in brass cost me a few bucks. Lots of small brass and aluminum tubes, angles, sheet, and such.

Canuck Bob

I settled on 4227 for my first powder for the 32-20 long barrel rifle. I then discovered the confusion surrounding old/new H/IMR 4227. IMR 4227 is priced right and meets my needs well enough to purchase a pound. When reading data from Ken Waters and Paco which 4227 is the new stuff? There seems abou...

Canuck Bob

Well I decided to wait a bit and the gun sold. Finance and oppurtunity rarely coincide in my life. I''m sold on the LR 9422 however and will own one some day. In the end the 22 Mag wasn't different enough from my 32-20 handloaded down a bit. It was no comparison loaded up a bit. Cast and fast powder...

Canuck Bob

Question for the gun cranks out there. I have to D&T my Winoku. If I drill for an aluminum Lyman 66A the screw pattern should be the same as an earlier steel model I assume if I bump into a steel version later.

Canuck Bob

The quick adjust button is the ticket. I just opened the safe and looked at my peeps. A Lyman on a Deerstalker flintlock, a Williams FP on the 444, and a Williams WGS on a Ruger 10/22. The Lyman push button is great. I've been surfing and found reference to a Redfield series 80 sight, as oppossed to...

Canuck Bob

I'm considering doing a 2 sight system for hi and lo velocity loads. If I use the barrel sight the receiver slide must come out and go in a pocket. The gun could be rigged for light load lead barrel sight and hi-vel hunting for the receiver sight. The tang sight for the safety rifles sits way to the...

Canuck Bob

My Winchester has the tang safety so a tang sight is a problem. I'm toying with disabling the tang safety and installing a tang sight over the hole in the tang. My 444 has a receiver sight and I really like it and have used it for many years. It is second nature now. The loose part thing is a real i...

Canuck Bob

I've been playing around with a two sight system for using 2 dedicated sights on a Winoku 92. I use receiver sights on all my rifles. My new Lyman sight on my Deerstalker got me thinking. It has the push button removal feature with the screw for reindexing the sight on reinstall. With a flip down ba...

Canuck Bob

I have zero experience with the 22 Mag. I took the velocity numbers off of Federal's website. They make the 50 grain load and this would be the one I'd shoot. I can buy at $10.50 a box of 50 so that makes it $21/100 or .21 per round according to a website with a local store. It seems that 17 HMR are...

Canuck Bob

It is a 9422M XTR from the earlier days. I'm going to confirm the s/n but it is a straight stock with no checkering and the rifle has some miles on it. I too have mixed feelings about the 22M. With the capability to send 40 grains down range at +1800. 30 gr at 2200, and Federal 50 gr at +1500 offers...

Canuck Bob

Nice rifle Pokey. I don't drink, do drugs, or womanize, well not for many years anyway, so a 100 rounds of 22 mag on a Saturday keeps me from other very expensive hobbies some men foolishly indulge in (I once sold my guns to pay a divorce lawyer, now thats expensive). Reports suggest these little ri...

Canuck Bob

I'm leaning hard toward buying. Is $450 a decent price?

Canuck Bob

A guy just offered me a 22 Mag Winchester lever. I am looking for a nice 22 lever and the Mag suits me fine. Are these well made or post-64 style with stamped parts and roll pins?

Canuck Bob

Thanks everyone. Just got back from a city wide sweep. Found a Lyman die set with the shell holder included for about $50 bucks. Some 100gr. XTPs for load development. I decided on the RCBS 10-10 scale, pricey but the plastic bodied scales left a poor feeling in my gut. My vehicles aren't beauties b...

Canuck Bob

Thanks guys, Rainier bullets are not an option up here, I tried. The gun is a new Winchester 92 from Japan. I will be going with a different powder scale, mainly for convenience and faster damping. If I go anything other than Lee dies I must start bringing in all my major cost items from the US. We ...

Canuck Bob

I gotta order in much of my supplies. So to avoid grief I've got a couple of questions about reloading. I've got Rem cases and factory ammo. Starline are unavailable at this time in Canada. Its for a new Winoku 92 TD rifle. I'm considering 100 grain jacketed bullets, either Speer Gold Dots or Hornad...

Good points Hobie. It is a bit private but this group has become important to me. I have been diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, blood cancer. I have not diccussed bullets with my Doctors. I am excluding casting because of possible lead in my blood. I most likely will face a bone marrow stem cell tran...

False alarm. Found a source for Berry's plated 110 grain at Mystic Precision in Canada, .311 RN designed for the 7.62X39. It is a carbon copy of the 110 grain RN 30 Carbine bullet. It is rated for 1700 fps.

Bob, I have some loads that Kirk helped me work up for my 1917,1892 32-20.It won't shoot cast with any accuracy but light jacketed bullets are great. the Hornady 85 grain XTP HP and the 100 grain XTP HP are both very accurate in my rifle. 8.7 grains of 2400 under the 85 and 11 grains of 5744 under ...

My Winchester 32-20 TD finally arrived after contacting my MP about our messed up Gun Control here. As luck would have it a dignosis for a serious blood disease also showed up. I have been preparing to cast for the gun and now that is done. I've been looking at plated bullets. They are scarce in Can...

"Texas is big" up here it would make a decent sized county. If you want to see skeeters try the Canadian Arctic in july, your undergunned with a 410 and the only repellant that works is gasoline, burning. Up north the skeeters aren't the problem, its Bulldogs, a version of the southern hor...

Canuck Bob

Thanks Joe,
You put my mind to rest. The rifle I'm looking at is in nice condition due to long term storage. I'm reasonable with my guns so I won't worry.

Bob

Canuck Bob

Looking at a 1976, low shot count and long term ptoper storage. My only concern is the whole rebluing thing. The current finish is fine on the receiver and I'm thinking wit my use schedule it will last for awhile. If the iron plated rifles are treated right and kept lubed and such is there any reaso...

My uncle in northern Alberta ran an electric fence years ago to keep the pigs safe from bears. It was a big steel box that gave a solid and ominous clicking sound. A big old black bear boar wandered up one summer night to grab a weiner. He sniffed the wire and then touched it with his wet nose. We w...

The most dangerous activity in modern society is driving. When alcohol is added to the mix, pun intended, the stats skyrocket. I can imagine our Law Enforcement members have many sad and disturbing stories about vehicle accidents and homicides. So even our suppliers call our sport dangerous when dri...

Canuck Bob

That helps explain why an earlier post noted that 1952 and earlier were his preferred carbines. This is really helping to seperate the pre-64s and post 64s. I now realize that the 53 to 63 models do not have the same collectable satus of the earlier rifles.

Canuck Bob

MrMurphy has it right, if you want a red dot sight, Aimpoint is the best there is!!! (Bring your banker!) However, for those of us that can't afford the $400 plus price tag, this one is a good performer. The guys at Warrior Talk Fopum seem to like it! http://www.opticsplanet.net/bushnell-1x25-troph...

Canuck Bob

There is so little movement in the bolt it's negligible and being an iron sight it will be more accurate than the gun (Bullet BC) or shooter is capable of with barrel mounted sights anyway (what slack might be present is more than made up with the addition sight radius). To gain any more accuracy y...

Canuck Bob

The leaner lines of the early 64s is quite noticeable. It suits the rifle a little better to my eye.

So if a 64 has a Deluxe model I'm thinking collectable for it. Could Winchester have coined a better name, I think "Deerslayer" is outstanding.

What makes the 1952 and earlier years different from the other pre-64s?

Canuck Bob

I've looked at these bolt mounted aperture sights and always wondered if they were dependable and held thier POA or does the bolt tolerances introduce some error?

Canuck Bob

My needs for a rifle are coming together. Casting is in my future and so is a working Winchester 94 in 30-30 or 32 Special. However a Winchester 64 will eventually be my choice for a fine sporting rifle to fill up my safe. Looking for anything anyone wants to share about these rifles. I've never see...

I've tried searches here and google but it is hard to narrow down the info on post-64 94's. Often websites contradict each other and there seems to be a lot of issues needing discussion. Post-64's are cheap and available. I'm referring to 94 Carbines in 30-30, non AE for me. 1- When did the carrier ...

It is a very small 1X scope with an etched crosshair. It can be illuminated but it is not required. The eye relief runs 3-5 inches and it has potential as an optical peep sight of sorts.
