Booger Bill, It's in Claremore, OK. The J. M. Davis Museum. Claremore will be having a cowboy trade day Apr 30-May1. The museum will host a gun show inside the museum. My SASS club, ITSASS, has been asked to wear our costumes and guns when we attend. This will include both the Davis Museum and the W...

The Western Heritage Museum in Okla City has Tom Horn's rifle, special order Winchester 94 with high grade wood, button magazine, and if I remember correctly, half octagon bbl. Lyman tang site in 30 WCF. It hasn't been on display in several years and no one there knows who Tom Horn was. Used to be d...

Just looked at their web-site and the Open Range is on sale for $1450.00.

M. M. Wright

Like OS, I have taken in one already and have room for another. My old SRC 94 in 25-35 is the second center fire rifle I've ever owned. Bought it from the corner of a service station in northwest Arkansas for $22.50. Let's see, I was driving a '40 Ford so that would have been about '58?

M. M. Wright

Boyd's lists replacement walnut stocks and fore-ends for your 99. Pretty cheap too. Should do wonders for the looks. Look up their web site and pick replacement stocks for Savage 99.

In the opening scene from Gunsmoke, the bad guy that Matt guns down is Arvo Ojala!

I can't imagine why you wouldn't want to drill the 86's tang. The originals had the hole already and just a screw blank in the hole. Would look more original. I have the Marbles tang sight on my 86 in 45-90 and yes it taps my glasses from the bench if I forget to give it enough room. Drill the hole ...

M. M. Wright

I remember Mike Venturino saying that more Sharps went out the door wearing scopes than those those that didn't. I sure would like to put one on my Sharps clone.

M. M. Wright

Now that's cool J

M. M. Wright

+1 to RR7 I shoot a lot of SASS events but the range is short and the targets are big. Several time a year I help a friend with phase 4 qualifications for armed security guards. He and I usually shoot the qualification course with SAAs gunfighter style, (one in each hand). If either of us drops a sh...

M. M. Wright

Now that's what I call a pig shoot. Loved it.

M. M. Wright

I use the two sight system on my 86, 45-90. It has a Redfield Sourdough front, the original Winchester rear and a Marbles tang sight. The barrel sight is regulated for 100 yards and the tang for 200. Just flip up the tang sight and you are looking over the barrel sight. No loose pieces to be lost. V...

The old 99-F I once owned had the 1 in 14" twist and shot 100 grain bullets into about 6" groups at 100 yards but would put 87 grainers in groups the size of my thumbnail. Don't remember the load, (I could look it up) but it was with IMR 4064, and the 87 grain Sierra bullet.

M. M. Wright

Bob, I load my 32-20s with the 115 grain bullets and just light plinking/squirrel loads. The Lee Factory Crimp dies are wonderful for the "dash" cartridges. I have a bunch of them in other calibers too. I'm a caster but bought bullets for the 32-20. Cheaper than molds, sizing dies etc.

M. M. Wright

awp 101,
I have a set of dies in 6.5-06 Ackley Imp. and about 100 pieces of formed brass plus some loaded ammo which I would suggest should be pulled and reloaded before shooting. You are welcome to all of it if you want it. Just taking up space in my ammo cabinet.
PM me.

If you're going to be at the Wanamacher Arms Show this coming week end, come by and see me. I'll have an extra chair for you to rest in and we can visit. Location is 5 LB 11. Look me up. Not really trying to sell anything, just lookin' to upgrade my collection.

M. M. Wright

I probably own as many BLRs as anyone, (11) mostly .308 Win and have never had to use the small base dies. Truth is though, I've never fired most of them, but I have shot the first one a lot. Early Belgian mfg. It has a lot of wear both outside and inside so the chamber is no doubt "loosend up&...

M. M. Wright

Neat stuff RR7,
I was in San Saba several times during the early 60s and remember a boot maker there. Said he couldn't make me a pair because his lasts only went up to about a size 7. Those old cowboys weren't very big. Great memories of those times and places.

M. M. Wright

Thanks Sarge, I've been defending the homestead with my SASS dbl bbl but really like the idea of that extended magazine and I've never seen anything handle OO like that. I was a CLEAT instructor for many years and had the opportunity to see a lot of different shotguns, mostly 870s and Mossberg 500s,...

M. M. Wright

Prayers up!

M. M. Wright

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!
And like Rube,I was wondering about the stain. What is the finished weight?

M. M. Wright

Old Savage,
Take a look at this: Bethlehemstar.net

I think you'll like this. For years I have been teaching that Jesus was born in 7 BC (or BCE). No more!

M. M. Wright

I use mostly 44-40 since I load a lot of black powder. I've owned .44 Mag and still have an engraved pair of .45 Colts that I enjoy shooting but my all time favorite from the calibers you mentioned is the .41 Mag. High velocity, flatter trajectory, drops everything up to whitetail just fine.

M. M. Wright

I read something recently that said that the supposed 3 or 4 year error in the calculation of the nativity was based on Josephus dating of the death of Herod. Recent other information dates Herod's death to agree with Dionysius.
I will see if I can find that source and link it here.

Lookin' good Twoguns!
Thanks for keeping us posted. I'm lovin' it except now I just have to restock my old 1916 vintage 45-90.
Keep it coming.

M. M. Wright

That is NICE!
I agree with Griff, I would be tempted to CCH the appropriate parts.

M. M. Wright

Sounds to me like you want rawhide, just the hair removed. Use lye water or just wet the hide and sprinkle liberally with lye and roll it up in a 5 gallon plastic bucket, put the lid on and leave it for about 5 days. Check it, if the hair doesn't slip off with the hose sprayer, re-lye and give it so...

Great sounding 336! Looking forward to pics as the project progresses.

The tang sight could be factory installed and would be, I think, Lyman.

M. M. Wright

M. M. Wright

Sounds like a good trade to me! :mrgreen: The SN should begin with an S and end with an A for a third gen. If it is late enough, (last 3 or 4 years) it will have the removable base pin bushing in the cylinder. These are some very good Colts and in maybe the best caliber ever. Many old lawmen used 38...

SASS has ROl and ROll training levels available (I'm an ROll). We are available to help run the matches. May end up doing more work than others but it's rewarding just helping everyone have a SAFE good time. The insights into safety make the training worthwhile.

M. M. Wright

That is marvelous! Made me remember when I was probably around 10 and Dad would take me to the Mason Hotel in Claremore where there was a little glass fronted cabinet in the lobby that had about a half dozen Volcanics in it. It was very dark in that corner and Mr. Davis came by and turned on a bare ...

Wow! This is gonna be tough. Turned 72 earlier this month so a bunch of rides. 1. 1947 HD 74 knuckle 2. 1937 Indian Sport Scout 3. 1947 Studebaker Champion Pickup 4. 1952 GMC 1/2 ton-added Olds V8 and hydromatic 5. 1949 Chevy 3100 Custom Cab (Dad traded the jimmy for this one while I was in basic) T...

M. M. Wright

Griff, You have pretty well summed it up. If you want to compete, you need a 73. You can't have any issues with cartridges or action. It just kills your chances of even looking good. I started with an El Tigre. It was the nicest one I had ever seen but was made of soft steel and began to show wear q...

M. M. Wright

Interesting thoughts guys. Since I hunt and shoot SASS, (including some side matches) I need quite a few. Handguns: 2 Colt SAAs in COLT FRONTIER SIX SHOOTER (44-40) Shotgun: Baretta SxS 12 Ga., 26" IC and MOD Rifle: 73 clone in 44-40 Big Rifle: 86 Winchester in 45-90 Pocket Pistol: S&W .38 ...

What NKJ said and I thought the cartridges for the Sharps looked like 50-70 to me.

M. M. Wright

It is my understanding that Uni-bath was developed specifically for 94 receivers and will do the job. Expensive stuff though.

M. M. Wright

Look at the websites for Treebone Carving or Boyds.

M. M. Wright

ELEGANT! Simply elegant.

M. M. Wright

twoguns,
That's really looking good man! You're doing an awesome job. Thanks for keeping us posted on the progress.

M. M. Wright

Win 92, Put a tang sight on it. If you buy the Marbles, it comes with three apertures of different sizes and you can use the smallest hole for sighting in. It will make that front sight crisp for tired old eyes, then you can switch to a larger hole for hunting. Still some help with fuzzies but you c...

What Driftwood said but: Make your solvent by dissolving 1 part Ballistol in 10 parts water. This will dissolve the residue from the bore plus after the metal is "seasoned" with the Ballistol it will clean up much easier than anything else I've found after (what's 1954 from 2011?) years. T...

M. M. Wright

Treebone carving should have the wood and I think even with crescent butt plate if that interests you. Boyd's too.

M. M. Wright

I'll second Nicknack on Green Mountain. I've re-barreled with a couple of them and both were very accurate.

M. M. Wright

I confess, I have it too but then I came by it honestly. I live on part of the "Old Home Place", (we've been here since 1882) and my grandfather must have had it, my uncle Bob had it and my Dad had it. Every barn, shed, garage and the woods for a hundred yards are full of old stuff. I have...

M. M. Wright

My first gun was a .410 double that said Western Arms Division, Ithica Gun Company. Looks exactly like your gun even down to the dog engraved on the side. Belongs to one of my Grandsons now though it is in my safe still.

M. M. Wright

Cerrosafe is a lot faster, easier and I think will be cheaper in the long run.

CENTER FIRE RIFLE: 86 Win 45-90 (45-70 might be more practical)
22 RIFLE: BLR 22 (don't have this one)
SHOTGUN: Baretta SxS 12, 26" IC/Mod
HANDGUN: Colt Frontier Six Shooter, 4.75" bbl (that means it's a 44-40)

M. M. Wright

Rube, Great collection guy! Really happy for you. AJMD429, That 32-20 of yours can have a Redman's liner installed in the barrel to make it really shoot again. I have a first year 92 that belonged to my father in law that I had relined then NKJ did his magic to make it a slick shooter. You have to l...
