I've been debating on a Skinner sight for my old Marlin 336 Texan in 35 Remington.
I'm still not sure yet. it's a 1954 model that I don't want to alter from factory setup!

Now that that grandparents have been gone for 18 years now, I miss then more than ever!
My great grandfather died when I was 13. I still remember his stories of World War 1.

That happens to me on other days of the week!
Not just black Friday!

It's been at least a year since I browsed!
I'll have to check it out again!

JOG

Enjoy your time with the family!
I'll enjoy the bird!
Happy Thanksgiving to all!

I put one on my S&W 19-4 snubby some years ago.
It's still pretty small for my hands.
Target grips work better for me!

Skunks seem to pass through my yard regularly! I don't bother them;

I need a little bit of global warming up here this winter in Maine!

JOG

I wasn't sweating it!

JOG

I believe it's dumbing down America!
We have enough dumb people already!

JOG

That's a beauty, congratulations!

Great craftsmanship!

About a month ago my local gun shop had a pristine model 37 in stock! it had the red lettering {Winchester} on the bottom of the receiver. I think it was in 20 gauge if memory serves me correctly.
The price was $500! seems like quite a bit of sheckle's for a basic single shot!

Mystery Metal from 1964 to somewhere around 1982.
Good old, forged steel receivers from 82 onward.

That's a beauty!
congratulations on a good find!

I've had two Colt Officers 1911's over the years myself. One didn't shoot hollow points reliably. After picking up a Colt Lightweight commander 45acp, I decided to sell of the Officers models. It's just a bit too small for my hand! My smallest carry firearm is a Sig P239. It's never failed to fire a...

I couldn't log in the past two days!
Today seem ok.

Back in my teenage years, 3 friends and I went canoe camping on the Carmens river on Long Island N.Y. We brought shotguns, fishing pole, canned corn along with a few canteens of water. We also took a bottle of Jack Daniels along with a few cases of canned beer! I pulled 3 or 4 nice trout out of the ...

Looks much better without the unnecessary push button safety!
I replaced the safety on my Marlin Cowboy.
My other Marlins are pre safety.

Welcome to the forum! you seem like an old lever gun man.
That was a great story!
We enjoy the lever gun addiction here on the forum!
Don't get me started on old Colts and Ruger's!

Fantastic! What a send off!

It's been about a month!

KTP has a Mint 1959 Winchester 94 in 30-30 for 1,150.00!
quite pricey!

JOG

Hard times, hard men!

JOG

I think $350.00 is a steal on any Winchester!
Pre or post 1964!
Congratulations.

JOG

Thanks Jay! I picked it up foe $725.00 at KTP.
It seems pre 64 Winchester are going up quite a bit in the last few years!
Johnny

JOG

Great tune!

JOG

I recently came across a 1962 made Winchester model 94 in 32 spl.
It looks unfired to me! Not a bump or mark on it anywhere!
I just thought I would share.

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!

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.

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

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

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...

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...

Thanks for the info, Jay and Two bit!

You guys are great!

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...

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!

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...
