Thanks Griff, it seems half of my schemes aren't feasable. Advice like this is valuable.

Canuck Bob

Great link AJ, in my favorites now. I am facing the same issue. I need a peep but will be putting it on a Miroku 92. A side mount reciever sight is out due to looks. It will probably be a tang. One question, many of the peeps seem to adjust elevation using a simple screw post that one elevates a hal...

Canuck Bob

I suggest you drop your need to kill Elk and Moose. I've hunted both and you really limit your daily use choices. Buy a 444 for the big stuff. Anything capable of this task to long range does not belong in farming country. If I were to drop the need for the big stuff a 25-35 in a 94 or a 250 Savage ...

I load for 2 centerfires, 32-20 and 444 both in strong modern levers. I reloaded years ago and enjoyed the load tinkering and experimentation. Nowadays my preference is simple, simple, simple for a simpleton! I used to feel like a gunpowder collector! I'm hoping to load up a single load combo for ea...

Canuck Bob

Just wondering if POI wanders much with a take down equipped with a tang sight?

The gun I'm looking at is a new Miroku Winchester but experience with take downs of any type is appreciated.

thanks

Canuck Bob

I'm looking into that Acculine, it sure meets my needs. Are they aluminum or iron framed? It would appear that cross border shipping costs will probably run $50. I've also put ads up on some Canadian sites. The 310 Shop has some interesting gear as well. I'm beginning to think the Herters would cost...

Canuck Bob

The Lyman Spartan does seem to pop up alot. There is one called the Junior I think. Is it a Lyman too?

Canuck Bob

I was considering the little Lee Reloader C press for a dedicated press for loading the 32-20 and pushing some little slugs through a push through. Someone I respect suggested I might be happy with an older iron C press. I am looking to build a list of suitable C presses to start looking. A small pr...

Canuck Bob

Thanks guys, I suspect some Bubba mods initially, the rebound hammer has to go. I will order in Steve's DVD and spring and seek his advice. Here is what I've learned so far; -cut the lower arm on the hammer strut being careful to remove the rebound function but not cut it too short -the trigger sear...

Canuck Bob

My process may add something here. The Rossi would have met my needs and fiddling with a new gun is an important part of making it mine so adding parts and sights is just part of the deal for me. What moved me to the 1892 I ordered was the take down fearture. It fits my lifestyle to a tee as I'm a t...

Canuck Bob

Canuck Bob, I feel the same way but it has more to do with the several add-on liability parts. I do think the Miroku made 92's from Browning were the very best of the old and new technology. They were made from modern steels on modern CNC machines and they didn't have any non- historically correct ...

Canuck Bob

I ordered my rifle today and it will arrive in Canada by September. 32-20, are they really so hard to load for, crushed cases and all that, advice please on best reload dies, techniques, and components? I found a writeup on altering the gun to get rid of the rebound feature, the safety is fine I'll ...

Canuck Bob

I'm a Calgarian. I like the horse pulls. Grandpa was a teamster and used draft horses until his death. Something nice about being able to talk to your farm machines.

It is a big Wild West show come on up and have a party. Bring liver pills!

Canuck Bob

Just ordered a Davidson model to Canada. My dealer found it and it is landing here at a reasonable price. Still expensive but it has the take down feature and lands in my lap cheaper than the Italian Take Down clone. Technically it is a Winchester at least in name, not birth.

Canuck Bob

I wanted everyone to know that Davidsons is selling off a number of Winchester products. I'm not sure of American pricing but if you go to thier website under the exclusive guns they have 1886, 1885, and a bunch of 1892 Take Downs for sale. I have no financial interest here but just ordered a brand ...

Canuck Bob

Amazing how much "gun dealer" sounds like "drug dealer", hmmm.

Canuck Bob

I've told my gun dealer to get me o solid price on the gun and will order it once I know for sure my costs. I'll contact NKJ once I have it and research the work needed. But first I'll shoot it a bunch before doing any warranty altering tuning. This is exciting. It would not be happening if it weren...

Canuck Bob

One of the attractions for me is the case design for both the 30-30 and 32 Special are excellent for cast bullets. I think this would be a cast shooter so bullet isn't an issue. Sadly 1 in 16" would stink with a heavier slow bullet. One motivation in the back of my mind is a rebarrel to 25-35 o...

Canuck Bob

Here is a picture of the Gun I'm describing. One of the Japanese 92's. http://www.cabelas.com/gun-inventory---buda---win-rifle---1561611-win92td44-bud.shtml Does anyone own one or handled one? I may have tracked down a used copy here and would like some opinions. It has the rebound hammer and tang s...

Canuck Bob

Thanks guys, I'll check out some auction sites but what would a real nice pre-64 94 standard carbine bring in the US? VG to VG+ rating. Looks like the Canadian asking price ranges from 400 to 600 bucks for low shot count rifles with normal minor dings from carrying. The 30-30s sell quicker while the...

Canuck Bob

In my search for nice used lever action 92s I keep finding excellent condition pre-64 94s. In a 92 I have to go with a clone even if it is a Brownchester. Well I'm now thinking why not own a real Winchester from the glory days. I tried searching for pre-64 with no luck. I read somewhere that the ste...

Canuck Bob

While searching for a used rifle I bumped into a Win 94 Legacy AE I think. 24" barrel full mag tube, pistol grip, and some checkering.

Is this a Japanese build?

Is it a dressed up AE?

What quality of action internals are they built too?

Canuck Bob

I have a gorgeous Browning Model 65 in .218 Bee. A wonderful rifle. Mine happens to be a high grade but it would seem to me you could find a standard grade at a reasonable price if a .218 is acceptable. The 65 is the bottom of these three.

Canuck Bob

I would appreciate info on the 22 Jet as well.

Canuck Bob

Thanks guys, I was working over the holiday and forgot my computer! The oilpatch never sleeps. Both our countries are blessed. We may have concerns and some crooked politicians but the level of freedom and oppurtunity still makes North America the prefered place for legal and illegal immigration. It...

Canuck Bob

Steve do you sell parts to Canada?

Canuck Bob

I'm a Canadian, we can't access the USA for firearms, powder, bullets, scopes, gun parts, etc. Its a sad story for us gun nuts up here. I can't buy by direct mail or email. It is one of the reasons guns are more expensive here. It is frustrating to try read reports of great stuff available in Montan...

Canuck Bob

I found a 65 Browning but the guy wants $2000. 218 in the standard grade. He is trying to say it is a collectable and only 3500 were made and this one is sn 3500. I would buy the rifle in a heart beat if it was properly priced. I just don't think a used replica rifle should be worth that much. The J...

Canuck Bob

What if a guy wanted to put a Bee in a Rossi 92?

Would a new carrier be required if remodelling a 357 Magnum?

Canuck Bob

I have always wanted a 22 Hornet in a classic lever. Is it possible to rebarrel one of these rifles for the Hornet? I like the Model 65 styled rifles with the long thin barrel and short magazine as well. I have looked at the 256 Winchester as an easy change for a 357 Magnum as well. What I want is a...

Canuck Bob

I finally found one on a shop wall to handle. It was a blued Cowboy version with an octagon barrel. I was very surprised. The last Rossi I handled was many years ago and the quality sure has not like this one. It was a nice tight little gun. The safety button is an eyesore but easily thrown in the b...

The best die young and the politicians grow fat. Our opposition politicians act in a treasonous fashion supporting the animals who kill our soldiers!

Canuck Bob

The girls are 6 and 8. I bought them a Stevens Model 30 Takedown 22 to learn on. We are adding a basement range for the good old Daisy BB, really for Dad! I think for thier moving out presents it will be Stoeger SXS 20 Gauge coach guns. Barb and I both were members of the Canadian Armed Forces when ...

Canuck Bob

Back to some serious business. Thanks to everyone for thier advice and teaching regarding these little lever actions. I should let you what I've decided after all your support. Marlin 1894 for me. Price and availability here in Canada narrowed it down to the Rossi 92 or Marlin 94. My 444 has been a ...

My girls will be strong and independent. Thier mom is a sweet gal, full of love and patience. Thier dad is as tough as nails and comes from a line of pioneer woman.

Canuck Bob

I am very interested in picking up my next and maybe last lever action. Say it isn't so! :shock: Maybe, time creeps on and so does my arthritis. I'm looking to thin out my safe and move away from hunting guns. What I want now are interesting and fun guns but only a few. 1 flintlock, got it, .54 Lym...

Canuck Bob

There is more to this question than I thought! I found a Canadian supplier of Chapparal Arms 1873 replicas, any opinions? Same supplier offers the Armi Sport Win 92 in a take down model that might interest me, opinions? Griff's fine post above discusses possible issue with these guns. They are very ...

Canuck Bob

I am very interested in picking up my next and maybe last lever action. Therefore I want to research the different imported lever actions. I'm looking at good to excellent fit and finish, top quality firearms. No plastic parts and accurate barrels in a short action gun for pistol length cases. Howev...

Canuck Bob

This thread is heart breaking. As a Canadian Combat Soldier I had real confidence in my FNC1 and FNC3. They were excellent tested battle rifles in the African bush and open desert combat. I felt sorry for our fine American allies fighting with a gopher rifle! We had the best in the 7.62 Nato and the...

Canuck Bob

Thanks, A Ruger in 22 Hornet is almost unobtainable here in Canada. I am a No1 fan though and have ordered one of the 303Brit models they have decided to build. I just found out that the laws changed here. It used to be that a 44 Mag was not allowed for hunting. They had a minimum cartridge length r...

Canuck Bob

I never considered the 39A. I've also never handled one but they break down, right?

Why pre 88?

Its hard to beat 22 LR for plinking with a peep sight. Thanks I'll research this one some more.

Canuck Bob

Actually the Savage TD interests me. I'm an oilfield salesman here in Western Canada and a TD fits my life style the best. I can carry my TD rifle in a duffel bag and no-one knows I'm carrying a gun, protection from the generation of thieves out there.

Canuck Bob

I'm a lefty and have owned and used a 444 for decades. I'm slowly preparing to pick up my next gun. I'm considering a couple of choices but I love lever guns. Recently I read an article that raved about the smoothness of the toggle link action. It got me thinking about getting a short action lever a...

Canuck Bob

303 Brit is a well balanced cartridge with historical roots.

444 Marlin still the best big bore for most shooters.

Canuck Bob

Thanks to everyone. I'm getting a Ruger No1 in 303 Brit, does that qualify as a lever gun? I plan to shoot the rifle alot with cast bullets. I'm planning using a little 2.75X Compact Leupold scope for load development but really hate the way most guns carry with a scope. The Ruger does not lend itse...

Canuck Bob

Thanks to both of you.

My eyes are ok thanks to very successful surgery a few years ago. I am a good shot with a peep and have used them almost exclusively since a kid. I scored very well to 500 meters as a young soldier with my trusty old FN.

Canuck Bob

Does anyone shoot barrel mount iron sights anymore? I'm wondering what kind of accuracy you are getting? What are your no shoot ranges for deer and such? I'm waiting for my PAL, Canadian license for gun ownership, and can't test my eyes against a target for awhile. I am getting a rifle well suited t...

Canuck Bob

I should mention that I am considering a Savage 99 for next lever gun. Will consider a tang sight for it as well.

Canuck Bob

Thank you both.

I'm starting to find that when I slide my cheek up the stock as a test that my sight picture improves slightly.

Canuck Bob

I'm close to getting a tang sight for a Marlin 444. Could I please get some feedback from guys and gals who love em and hate em?

I have used receiver sights for decades and always thought to get a tang sight.

Also any suggestions on suppliers would be welcome.
