Is that one of the Turkish made High Powers?
I wonder if it's true color casing.

JOG

That's a hard pass for me!

JOG

I've picked one up myself a few years back.
It's nice to look at and quite a shooter!

JOG

I have the Marlin 1894 Cowboy Limited with the octagonal 24-inch barrel in 45 Colt.
No issue whatsoever! Quite a shooter.

JOG

I handled one this past weekend. I'll stick with my pre 64 Winchester and Marlins!
If you like it that's all those matters!

JOG

Wow! incredible footage!

JOG

Quality craftsmanship!

JOG

I enjoyed that very much!

JOG

Thats a union 58 cal mini ball fired from a Springfield musket.
Your bullets appear to be dropped on the battlefield.
There doesn't appear to be any deformity of the rounds.

JOG

I also like the straight stock Marlins {Texan}
I have one 336 Texan from 1954 in 35 Remington.
congratulations on a nice find!

JOG

Sweet 38-40 Six! Your collection amazes me!
Looking forward to putting a few dozen rounds downrange!
Johnny

JOG

Ok earl, she had a little movement, but not much! I let a couple drops of Hoppe's #9 sit a few minutes. I cleaned it out with a cute tip. A little bit of fouling. A little oil and it seems to have more wiggle. I ran 6 snap caps thru it without issue! I'll clean and oil it again before I put some mor...

JOG

I fired my Winchester 1892 38-40 for the first time this afternoon. Shooting 180 gr RN\FP reloads a friend had laying around a few years. I was more than happy with the accuracy at 50 yards! Somewhere around an inch to an inch and a quarter. Several rounds going thru the same holes! Unfortunately, I...

Deport the ump!

Yes sir, anytime!

Thanks for the info, Jay and Two bit!
The ser.# 95663
You guys are great!
Johnny

JOG

Gentleman your lever action knowledge is just incredible! I'm always learning from you guys! Was the Winchester 76 a big improvement over the 73? Was the model 76 a toggle system like the 73? Jay, I guess I thought the 92 was somewhat of a better design due to the tight shucking of the lever! The 94...

JOG

It seems the cowboy action shooter favor the Italian. made model 73 over anything else. I think Hollywood got hold of a few hundred Winchester 92 and used them for 30 years or more! Although, I was watching the Big Valley this past Sunday and noticed they were using Marlin 94's. I still watch all of...

JOG

Thanks for all the info on proper loads for the old girl! It took quite a bit of cleaning with bore brush and patches. The crown looks good to go. After a good bit of oil, the lever feels incredibly smooth! It must be those double locking lugs. It's basically a scaled down 86. John Mosses Browning h...

JOG

Yes sir! Thanks for the info OldWin. It's my first jump into 38-40's!
It should be a fun shooter!
Johnny

JOG

Today I picked up a Winchester model 1892. Ser.#9566X. As far as I can tell it's manufactured in 1894 or 1895. It's been reblued some years ago, it's in 38-40 Caliber. Rifling appears to be in very good shape after a good cleaning! No pitting with very good lands and grooves! It has the 24-inch barr...

JOG

Dam Gentleman, some fine old Ruger Blackhawks! Six is showing off his fantastic collection again! I guess I can't blame him! I've got one Blackhawk that's 20+ years old {357} Now I'm thinking of buying a 1996 Vaquero in 45 Colt. I'm worried about the sights being off. I had one year ago that was off...

JOG

Great composition! Do you have a white cowboy outfit to Jim?

JOG

The Smith model 10 are great shooters for sure! For some reason I traded my 1967 !0-5 about a year ago. I did get in return a 1964 Smith model 19-1 with a 4-inch barrel. I put a vintage Tyler T grip adaptor on it. One hell of a shooter! Not a month later a 1978 Smith 19-4 snubby walk into my gun sho...

JOG

It's true! I'm not even sure what a dooryard is.
Back in N.Y. you had a stoop!
No coffee brandy, mostly just Guinness.
My great aunt had a home built here in 1964.
So, I've been coming up here for many years!
If you're not born here, you'll never be a true Mainer.
Johnny

JOG

Now wait a minute fella! I was born and raised in the hood! New York, born in Brooklyn actually! Grew up on Long Island. Now the local Maine ladies like it when I put my gold grill in the mouth! I have a matching dew rag that the she demon can't hold back their instant arousal! I take all my fashion...

JOG

Those curb feelers are the bomb! My 73 Gremlin has them in bronze!
Sure, enough brings in da ladies!
Johnny

JOG

Old Six has quite the impressive mustache!
Very Burt Reynolds!
Your Granddaughter is a beautiful young lady!
You're a lucky man.
Johnny

JOG

I wish S&W success with the new lever gun!
Personally, I'll stick with old Marlins and Winchesters!
Johnny

JOG

Glad to hear you're ok! Charging angry women truly never scared me too much! I could sprint pretty fast, especially when I was young! Although I had a long legged 17-year-old African American girl charge me when I was 13 or so! I just barely beat her in the 440! Her brother and I had had a donnybroo...

JOG

I've never been attacked by a charging bull! One time my chunky sister in-law charged me for grabbing the last slice of apple pie!
I'm just kidding, it was cherry pie!

Welcome to modern America! I blame the parent of these idiots!
That if they actually know who their parents are!

A quiet Christmas day, just the wife and myself.
Some fresh haddock and ocean scallops along with a few Guinness!
Unusually warm here in southern Maine!
I took my S&W 18-4 out for some rimfire plinking.
43-year-old Smith still shoots fantastic!
Merry Christmas!
Johnny

JOG

I have a 1982 JM model. It's the one year where Marlin went back to the blue trigger.
Its lightweight, handy and shoots 357 & 38 spl. just fine!
Although I prefer my 1894 in 44 mags!
Happy Bird Day all!
Johnny

JOG

Wow, that looks like a big-time operation!
I'm surprised I don't see more Ruger Marlin in the gun shops.
Johnny

JOG

I thought is was my P.C.
Were back online!
Johnny

JOG

Schools and businesses were shut down here in southern Maine.!
I lost a day's pay myself. I hope they take this guy out!
Johnny

JOG

Winchester 200 gr.35 Remington Power Points are back in circulation at 4$52.99 a box!

JOG

It doesn't get any better than that!

JOG

I recently handled a Ruger Marlin 336 in 30-30 for the first time. Super nice craftsmanship by Ruger!
I can still find 40-year-old Marlin JM's for much less. So far, I haven't purchased any Ruger Marlins.
That may change in the future. Anyway, I think Ruger is putting out some quality Marlins!
Johnny

JOG

Nice hardware gentleman!

JOG

I found a 1954 Marlin 336 Texan in 35 Remington last year at Kittery Trading Post.
I think I'll hunt with it this year.

JOG

Anything over 80 degrees and I'm miserable!
My Viking & Irish blood can't handle the heat!
Johnny

JOG

I came close to purchasing a Winchester 94 ae in 44 mag. That terrible rebounding hammer was too much for me.
A few weeks later I found a old Marin 1894 in 44 mag and never looked back!
Johnny

JOG

Today Joe said that Puttin is losing the war in Iraq!
WOW!

JOG

I have one myself in 45 Colt.
Very accurate round thru the long octagonal barrel!
I'm sure you're going to love it!
Johnny

JOG

My local shop has a Winchester Big Bore like yours in about 90% condition for $1,050.00.
KTP had a few boxes of 375 on the shelf!
Nice collection!
Johnny

I'm with OldWin.
A Colt Lightweight Commander.

JOG

I have a 1954 Marlin 336 Texan in 35 Remington. A great caliber!
My gun shop had plenty of 35 Rem. on the shelves for a few weeks.
At 60.00 a box! Pricey for sure!
I picked up 4 boxes to put away.
I think Winchester puts it out once or twice a year.
