This scope interests me as an optical peep sight. It would sit behind the balance point and traditional carry point for a lever. This is the main reason I won't scope a lever. I can't stand the scope tube blocking the natural carry point for wrapping ones hand around a lever receiver. The reflex's a...

I did a search on the net and someone said these might have Winchester Mystery Metal and not be reblueable. Does this make any sense?

I've been rolling around a number of ideas regarding a 303 build. Lefty bolt build, this thread and actually had a Ruger paid for in 303 but a Winoku 92 took my heart. I've come to realize I got it all wrong. Here in Canada the milsurps are still available in reasonable numbers. Decided to drop this...

Died needlessly but as a real hero. Our thoughts are with his family. Sure glad you guys got the death penalty down there.

I vote to give the killer to his Marine unit and drive away.

Canuck Bob

Wow, you are a geneartion too old for craftsmanship like that. Kinda wish we didn't have that invisible fence between us. My little 92 would really shine after a treatment like that!! I don't really notice the difference until one sees it the way it should be done.

Ivory soap works for me. The only thing worse than a grown man wearing perfume, sorry I meant cologne, is a man wearing deer or cat pee.

Well I'm cheap. You can share 44 Mag tooling and it is a common caliber. I vote 44 but as has been said if it don't got 3 4s it ain't big bore as in 444. I have owned and shot a few 44 Mags in a rifle. They were not a problem at all. If you handload up some flat nose 280 grainers and push them hard ...

I bought one of Lypsey's 92's and imported to Canada. The gun was on sale but importing takes its toll. I agree the price was high but it was a decision i was willing to make to get a new TD model. The other issues regarding the safety and such are quite legitimate for a proper Winchester clone. I t...

I had one of the first hundred produced by Ruger bought and paid for when ruger agreed to build them with a Canadian dist. A bunch of guys up here initiated the build.

Why a 303? I would only have to explain it to someone nurtured on a monthly diet of Guns and Ammo ballistic charts. I just bought a 32-20 Winchester 92 a 357 Mag would be better? Not on your life. 303 Brit, the main reason we don't speak German regardless of John Wayne. Shot more game on every conti...

Wonderful article Hobie, thanks to you and specially Bruce. I just read it and it answered an important question. I thought all steel receiver actions had hard to source clips.

These sure are nice rifles.

Canuck Bob

As usual I should have used Google first. It appears a Model 71 would be ideal and maybe an 1886 (strength?).

It would seem a shame to desecrate a 71. Did anyone ever make a replica?

Canuck Bob

What lever actions would handle a 303 Brit cartidge? I suppose anything that would be chambered for 30-40 Krag.

I know the 95 Winchester came in 303 but I was thinking of a standard lever like a Winchester tube feed. The 303 specs out at a shade over 3" and pressures in the 30-40 range.

Canuck Bob

How do these rifles perform for accuracy. I owned one years ago in 243 and was satisfied with the handling and reliability. Just don't know much about thier shooting performance with a 22 bullet. Spotted a used one that might work for me.

I've reloaded my Winchester brass eight times without losing a case. Except in the grass. ;-) I have heard that the Remington brass is slightly longer. I think the Speer manual mentions something about it. My research has confirmed this is true. Length goes Rem, Win, and Starline the shortest. Star...

Starline is not available in Canada.

Any preference between Rem and Win 32-20 brass?

Thanks, just saw a similar Marble's for a 92 on Ebay but 25 bids and too high a price already.

I've seen pictures of tang style sights mounted on the comb at the rear of the grip area. They are often onSavage levers and Sixgun posted a picture of one on a takedown 95 once. It might solve a problem I have for a light kicking 32-20.

Anyone ever used this style of sight? Opinions?

Canuck Bob

Whoa! I must be in the minority here. Having used tang sights for close to 40 years sure has made me educated in the subject. As we speak, I have approx. 40 leverguns with original and a few modern (repos) sights on 'em. As most of us know, most all pre-war leverguns came d & t 'ed for tang sig...

I am extremely fond of the Schrade Sharpfinger knife as a deer knife. They are made in China now but you can easily find a made in USA one on Ebay or somewhere. They are small and light and are just right for deer. A Sharpfinger is good for small game too but not fish really. They are not a "h...

I agree with the others. I always split the neck top and bottom on moose. The worst spot to hold heat on big bulls.

I'm finding out that anything unusual is getting very hard to get in Canada. At first I thought it was Homeland Security protecting our mutual troops from mailorder ordinance.

The new 32-20 is gettin closer to crossing the border. I'm a dedicated peep sight shooter but don't want to put a modern receiver sight on this rifle.

Does the 32-20 Lee FC die have the carbide ring of the Lee FC pistol dies. Apparently it can undersize cast bullets unlike the rifle FC die.

You are in denial my friend. You no longer have any say in the matter so your question is meaningless. It is her rifle already.

Now would be a nice time to talk about "matching rifles".

Finally, someone has come up with a good reason for avoiding the metric system.

Thanks Steve,

I tried customer service at Winchester Browning. Won't do that again!

I guess it will be one of the pleasures of a new gun. Learning all about it and slugging the barrel and chamber.

With border delays it looks like delivery will be close to summers end or early fall.

Thanks a bunch. I'm researching stocking one powder for my 444 and 32-20. Top velocity is not required for the 32-20 but good accuracy is. 4198 is excellent in the 444 and I'm hoping the powder will give good full case mid power 32-20 performance. Its all part of me overthinking simplifying my hobbi...

The original poster wanted to stay at 80-100 grain bullets, safe farming country manners and the possibility of heavier bullets for Elk and such.

Great link.

The 32-20 has a 24" tube, shouldn't that help a bit with slower powder?

The 4198s are a very common 444 powder. Time to check out the ammoguide link.
