If your getting 1.2 inch grouping at 100 yards, I would stick with that for sure!
That's dam fine shooting for a old rifle.
What year was your 1886 manufactured?
I think the 33wcf was the last cartridge to come out for the 86.
Smokeless makes it very desirable to me.

JOG

Thank you gentleman, I think I'll leave it as is.
It's good to have a old shotgun where you don't have to worry about bumps and dings!

JOG

I also have a 1886 in 33wcf. Yours is quite specular. I was going to ask if Turnbull did the cased hardening It's a tough caliber to find bullets for, Hornady stopped making the making the FP 200 gr bullet years ago. Thanks to the gentleman on this forum for info provided on the 86 and the 33wcf cal...

My condolences on your dads passing! Hold on to the good memory's.
The Remington will always remind you of the good times shooting with your dad.

I forgot to say that I think it was reblued before.

Update, after breaking the 31 down and looking everything over, I think it's all original.

I found this old 1940 made Remington model 31 pump action shotgun the other day. The model 31 is my favorite pump action shotgun. Yes I also like the Winchester 12 and Ithaca and High Standard and a few other classic pump actions! Made from 1931 to 1949, in 1950 the Remington 870 came out and was in...

I'm a big fan of the 44 spl. myself! All that reading in my youth about Skeeter and Elmer did it!
You gentleman have some truly fantastic Smith's and Colt's!
I'm down to one lonely Ruger Blackhawk in 44 spl.
When I take my 1894 Marlin 44 out, the Blackhawk always comes with us!

JOG

That looks like a nice little antique firearm. I like the old knife to!
That's a fantastic photo!

JOG

Now biden is going to outlaw all menthol cigarettes'
That's going to make a lot of black folk very unhappy.
Blacks consume 85% of menthol cigarettes' made here in America.
I had a buddy that smoked Newport's, he died of cancer at 48 years old.
That stuff will kill you!

JOG

Prayers sent!
Speedy recovery.

Speedy recovery sir!
I've been there!

I think I got 5 or so! Some of it was on a dare! We eat chicken and dumplings and corn bread throughout the winter.

So that's why Sixgun hasn't been posting! He was put into Levergun jail! He's the first person in history that was brutally raped in levergun jail! I told him soap on a rope is the way to go when these things happen! I heard he was traded for a pack of Newport 100's! I guess after a few big guzzles ...

JOG

The other morning I stopped by my gun shop to see what was available. They had more ammo on the shelves then I've seen in a year! I was probably the ninth or tenth person in the store that morning. So perhaps things are looking up for fool's like me who never learned reloading! When I move next to S...

Congratulation's on a fine Browning

What was the song that was playing during the surrender at Yorktown?
The world turned upside down!

I don't think the widow could have picked a better custodian for that classic Colt! I'm sure she knew you would cherish that Colt. That's fantastic that your dad gave you that fine Parker! Good things happened to good people! Congratulations OldWin on your truly classic firearm's! I hope your son's ...

That's a great story! I'm glad everything turned out ok for you the horse and the rifle!
Now that I own a Winchester 1886 in 33wcf,I want a model 71 in 348!

I've always owned Remington 870's Wingmasters and 1100's! I've never had one problem with either Remington. The semi auto 1100 doesn't like light loads, I always shoot over one ounce or heaver loads in the 1100 without issues. My favorite is the old school Remington model 31. They haven't been made ...

Personal responsibility has gone out the window! This young black guy made the decision to rob a women at gunpoint! Then when she didn't comply he choked her out!

I lucked out yesterday morning and found some Federal 38 spl. at my local gun shop. Two box limit,$24.99 a box of 50 rds. Now I could take my Smith out for some target practice!

What in holy habenaro is going on here. Don't tell me there's another one as disturbed as Six? :shock: I go work on my Harley for a while and look what happens.

Oh Lordy.....your humor puts mine to shame.....I'd have to vote you number 1. Well, discussed it with mom...now that I have all this extra money it's time for the fuzzy dice and curb feelers for the caddy. Might even have enough left over for the hydraulic shocks, 24" rims, and hubcap spinners...

Hey Sixgun, I just looked up what year commercial production of 33wcf stopped. It was 1940! So there Mr. no it all! My memory was correct!

My levergun knowledge is for the most part, in depth study for a number of years, especially the last 10. Funny tho, I graduated HS in 77, went to work, and my first payday, I got me a 870 Rem. 2nd maybe 3rd payday, I g ot me, what in my eyes, was the ultimate, "Ky Assault Squirrel Rifle"...
