I used to go to Legendary Guns Of The West a lot when I lived in Phx.

Was the manager a big guy with a mustache? If so I know him.

Yep, that was him, Bob was his name.

1887 was returned to Legendary Guns, great manager, traded for a sweet little side by side coach gun... I will post pics later!

I could have traded for another 87 but my mouth was soured and I just didnt want to trust another.

I dont even worry about loading just two. fast or other wise I dont shoot cas/sass anymore. I just wanted it to function period!

I already just had him on the phone and he suggests contacting IAC and possibly sending it back.
I know it will take forever!

I just went out and bought a 1887 IAC and I got a problem already. When I load up the magazine the shell stop will hold them in until I try to cycle the first time, then they all try to come back at once. I push them back in but they just keep coming! I am of course NOT pleased! I am loading the &qu...

I can only take 29 I must be getting old! I may have fudged a couple items though. :wink: But in reality I think I could just keep stomping if I had to...220 pounds, 6'1" and size twelve shoes, and big ham hands, I think they would be hurting...... Unless one cried then I'd prob have to quit! :...

Last year I setup my youngest with this little pink rifle and she loves it!

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...

Just Drilled and tapped for either scout or regular mount. Browning does sell the scout mount seperately.

The odd thing is that when you release the lever to takedown, you pull the barrel directly out instead of it being half threaded like normal takedowns. It instead has just a groove cut in it for the lock mechanism to latch into. but the barrel fits the reciever so tight that you have to be perfectly...

Longhair,Those are some nice guns you have. Very nicely done pictures too! If you don't mind me asking,Where did you get that hat? That's exactly the type I've been looking for to replace my poor ol' worn out Stetson. Thats a Stetson as well. I got it custom shaped at "Perryman's" in Phoe...

I have sold more nice, custom bolt guns than I care to remember to expand my lever collection so I understand your thought process. That Cooper is pretty and I bet it shoots. 1886. It does shoot! here is its factory target on the left (shot from sand bags) I can almost match it and my scope is only...

Thanks 1886! And Jerry thanks, the bolt gun is a little Cooper in 17hmr. The old saddle fram was actually something that someone gave me...it still had leather but it had been outside for numerous years... the leather was completly rotted beyound any kind of repair... so I just stripped it down and ...

Fine looking guns and good pictures! Thanks for sharing!!! :D Thanks! A little OT but here is my little squirrel gun that I am thinking of selling to get my 1886 back (Just thinking mind you!): http://www.hotboatpics.com/pics/data/500/9827IMG_0270.JPG http://www.hotboatpics.com/pics/data/500/9827IM...

It is nice.... He has my Ruger #1 .375HH though that he dont want to let go of!!

The ones on this side of the border have a slightly longer barrel (22") and the wood is stained differently (kind of orange/red) but I think those are the only differences. Once I get it I'll post some pics/comments on it. I would be interested in how well it functions! ie is it jam free enoug...

Well, it's not a .405 caliber but it sure is a Winchester 95 in 30-06 (one of 10,000 made in 1995 by Miroku under license - only 3,000 were in this Hi Grade). My wife gave it to me for our 25th anniversary nearly three years ago - http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y25/kmastf/RIFLES/WFP71GR-XSSIGHTS....

I actually just made a deal for a 'Rinco 1887 last night. I'm hoping it'll be here between Christmas and New Year's.

Also Titegroup works well without detonation problems, Trail Boss is another good choice.

Pics you may remember from the old forum: (side note: all of the rifles in the first 2 pics were sold during medical financial troubles, However I recovered the 1894 Trails end from the guy I sold it to and he had not even fired it. I am still working on the 1886 TD from the same guy, also not fired...

I recently purchased one of the new .405 takedowns with the casehardened frame and she is pretty! I'll have to post up some pics in the next few days!
