Thanks

As always I need a good laugh everyday, and that was it

MrV

Thanks I needed a laugh today.

MrV

Someone mentioned an in-between zone in Arizona...If after examining Wyoming still having to go with the wife's druthers, you might check out the Verde Valley (Camp Verde, Cottonwood, etc). It's south of Flag 45-50 minutes or so, off the "Rim" which loses you 2000'-2500' right there and t...

MrV

Take a gander at this: http://marauder.homestead.com/Rifles.html His Marlin articles will show ya how to slick up that 1894 so ya can operate it with one finger. I got one here that I can stand upright on a scale, loosely trap the barrel between fingers forming an "O" (so I ain't cheating...

MrV

Mrv, Did you do any of the preventative measures found here? http://marauder.homestead.com/files/Marlin94Fix.html Every Marlin 1894c (three in total) all had jamming problems. None were user error or loose screws in any shape or form. They were all caused by the lever cam cutting into the lifter a ...

MrV

I am glad you cleared that jam up too. Just remember... vigor, stroke the lever with vigor. I'd suspect most "poor" lever action's jamb ups come from folks who dont operate the lever with vigor. (I was really trying to get some point across about "vigor" here) Good luck Hillbill...

MrV

Angelo, Put about 500 live rounds through that rifle and you'll be surprised at how it smooths up. As far as a .22 lever gun goes I'm admittedly prejudiced. I prefer the Winchester 94-22 or the older pre-safety, pre-rebounding hammer Marlin 39As. Joe Joe.....Buck, Thanks for the input on the Winche...

MrV

Joe, thanks for the web page for parts to have on hand. Went to the range last night and fired it for the first time. NO JAMS :!: But the action could be a little smoother & the trigger might need a little tweeking. All in all it's GREAT :!: I think the next purchase with be a lever chambered in...

MrV

The Chapman Screw Drivers finally came in and I went to work....well it was a little un-nerving taking a rifle apart since I have never done it before. Got it apart and the jam cleared and put back together without any spare parts left over. Now for the acid test....taking it to the range and firing...

MrV

Wanted to say THANKS to everyone for all the help, encouragement and info regarding the jam. Almost everyday I sign in to see what was posted that day and when I sign out I have either had a good laugh from a joke posted or great info on Lever Guns or guns in general, ammo, politics and anything els...

MrV

<snip> Joe Really appreciate the info. And I think you are correct that I short stroked it. The first I need to do is run out an buy a good set of screwdrivers before I start. Is the rifle fussy with the brand of ammo you run thru it? And have you ever fire .38 cal instead of .357 in it? Again Than...

As I said a little upset & embarrased, but I have wanted a lever gun for years so if this a hump I need to get over to own one it will be worth it

MrV

Got my Marlin L.A. 1894C S.S. yesterday chamber in 357 / 38 and decided to pratice loading and unloading prior to taking it to the range. Loaded it with American Eagle .38 Special FMJ, when I went to chamber & eject the cartridge the lever locked in the full open position and will not move. I c...

MrV

Thanks for the info, I will try anything to fix this problem!

MrV

Thanks for all the replys. Got a sample with my Sig P226, Sig is saying that it is want they use to clean and lube their weapons. Went to the web site (Mil-Comm) if it does what they claim it does it might be worth a try but it's not cheap.

MrV

It's Mil-Comm they state on their web site that the U.S Military use it to clean & maintain their weapons. Web site is http://www.mil-comm.com

MrV

Has anyone heard good or bad about a product called Mil-Comm weapon cleaning products

MrV

Thanks for chuckle

MrV

Appreciate all the great info. What I have found in the last few days is that Armi Chiappa / Armi Sport make most of the lever action rifles & shotguns that are sold under different names by different companys. Marstar Canada (Norinco) Cimarron F.A Co (Cimarron Firearms) KBI (Charles Daly) and T...

Newbie here. Looking for my first Lever Action Rifle Chambered in .357. I like the looks of the Puma & Rossi but really don't know much about the company and the quailty of their product. Any one care to share their opinion? Henry was my first choice but a Gunsmith suggested to steer clear of H...

MrV

Patriotic has nothing to do with selecting goods that you are going to shell out your hard earned cash for. If USA makes a 100% product for $500 and Brazil makes a 100% product for $500 dollars or even 500 and a bit then by all means be patriotic, hell I would be. Fact of the matter is that the Ame...

MrV

I would make my first lever gun a Marlin 336 in the classic 30-30 caliber. Possibly the stainless version. It is a high quality firearm that will out last you, and everyone on this forum. And the 30-30 will kill much better that a 357 at farther ranges. You cant go wrong with a Marlin. :D I agree w...

MrV

I have to wave the flag here (Stars and Stripes) since I haven't seen it mentioned. The Henry and Marlin are made in the U.S.A. The Henry rifles don't do anything for me and I sure don't hear many people bragging about them on this forum. I own 2 1894 Marlins, one in 44 and one in 357 and love them...

Joe I did read something about the Norinco, I didn't think it could be purchased here because of the trade embargo with China.

MrV

This my second day on the forum and I am again picking your brains for info. Yesterday everyone who replyed to my post gave me great info & photos, THANKS :D I want to purchase a Lever Action Shotgun along with the Lever Action Rifle in .35.

MrV

Doc nice family photo :D Your article on the tactical conversion of the 1894 put Lever Action Rifles in a whole new light for me. Necessity is the mother of invention! I was leaning towards the Rossi M92 but after seeing your Marlin 1894 I have climbed back on the fence. I really am happy with my 35...

MrV

Thats what I did. Rossi lever, smith revolver, bond derringer, all in .357. I don't regret it one bit. Well than I feel I am on the right path. As I said I am a Newbie to this forum and guns. Purchased my first hand gun last year S&W 686+ and a week ago picked up a Colt King Cobra. Now is time ...

MrV

All the ones mentioned are good, and you'll "warm up" to any one you get, most likely. If you want to scope the gun, go with a Marlin or Henry due to the flat top and pre-tapped holes. If you want stainless steel, Rossis are easier to find that way except Marlin 44 Mags are fairly common....

MrV

mine was also done by NKJ with an action job and he added the large loop for me. Mine is two tone SS and I had the receiver sight added too. It functions with every load I have given it. http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd207/rjohns94/164-1.jpg That is one Beautiful Rifle, thanks for posting the ...

Just ordered a 44mag 16 inch stainless to keep it company.

Rossi in .357 & Stainless 16 in BBL. Can I get that with a Large Loop? What model Rossi is it? That would be just what I am looking for.

MrV

Sore Shoulder....The gunsmith said that if I was looking for a Lever Action to go with the Marlin. I would like the best of both worlds looks & function not sure if I am going to be able to cover both those bases. There are (a few) Stainless Marlins in .357 IIRC... but they are hard to find. Yo...

Like the Stainless! I live in South Jersey and humidity can be relentless in the summer months. Most of our handguns are stainless just for that reason. S&W 686+
Like the Rossi but really want what ever I decide on to have a Large Loop again it's all about the look.

MrV

Thanks for the reply. Christmas money is burning a hole in my pocket but I don't want to run out and buy just anything. The Marlin is just to plain looking for me.
