That is one heck of a price on a ROA! Good for you!!!!!

Iron wheel weights? That's new to me.

The non-lead alloy stuff is obvious as can be. It has a sort of slick, light-gray, shiny surface even if you find it in the roadway. I don't have one to photograph as I pitch them if I accidentally get one or let 'em lay.

Prayers for a speedy recovery!

You've got mail. I absolutely love your photos and can't wait for the calendar.

Sounds like the Antique about 1964-66. Original? Probably. We do need photos for something like this. Too, much too, little info.

Maybe if I find an old grey 99 I can convert to the .338 Federal... I agree with Blaine, that would be the ticket. I can't get excited about the BLR even though Doc Hudson loves his.

I see your point but the good old 7.62x51mm NATO is so mundane!

And what is this, talk like Shakespeare day?

If one is really interested in the TC products one only needs to keep an eye out in both private transfers and in the shops. Buying in pieces is fairly easy and cheaper than new guns, particularly pistols. Lots of people get something big that they can't handle and they sell out, cheaply. Every comm...

I'm with HorseSoldier. Nothing slicks them up like use and good maintenance. Noting looks better than a used but well-cared for firearm. Character is the operating word. Sometimes I have to laugh at all the folks who take an old gun and try to make it look brand new and buy a new gun and try to make...

I'm officially jealous. My 1956 Mountie is nowhere near that nice. I like, too, that you have good taste in sighting equipment!

I would not do it. As it is, in steel frames, the reports I've read stick to "cowboy" loads... This doesn't imply a great strength to the system.

Yep, a 99A in .308 could become a .358 Win...

Yes. They ain't just for cowboys...

There is no number on my sight. Perhaps a photo is in order...

Wal - Thet at least gives ya a wider choice, then if'n you only had some ammo & was lookin' fer a gun ! (like some others I could name)

I've done that, too!

I find that I like the Contender better, both for size and for stock shape. Not really leverguns but lots of fun!

Ok, so I'm not tied too tight or whatever. Anyway, I just came into a Williams FP for the 99 which mounts in two holes on the receiver/tang top. Not being overly familiar with the variations of the 99 but knowing there are variations and have been variations in D&T for sights, I'm betting that t...

You either want us to write a book or make your decision for you, I'm not sure which. There's a lot to learn and you'll enjoy the ride. Look for and get some books on the subject and hang out here for a while. I think you should get a Marlin M39 Mountie, then the 1894C, then a 336, then an 1895 and ...

Been there and know your need. Have said some heartfelt prayers for all your family.

One is not better than the other, just different. However, if you get a Rossi 92 get it from Steve's Gunz. Steve slicks it up and sells it for less than you'd pay for a factory Marlin. The Marlins do slick up real well though, with use!

Vall is an original Marlin magnet...

As noted you'll have to look into it quicker if you want to shoot the Barnes in that .30-30. You might look for some PMC Starfire (?)...

Oh, and whereabouts on FT Hunter-Liggett are you hunting? Do you come in via Jolon or the Los Padres National Forest?

I'm agin fillers but of the lot Pufflon is the best. Other than that I can't say a thing except that I think you'll find IMR SR4759 or AA5744 is what you're going to need in that big case.

Missed the charges... :oops: I don't see why you won't need to do just a bit of tweaking on the Jamison brass if/when it returns to the market. I'll tell you if there are differences between the .348 and .50 AK/.50-90 brass and performance. With BP and Pyrodex I would not expect much if any differen...

Malamute wrote:I believe the first pic is an early Marlin, an 1881 or early smaller frame. Look at the forend cap, it tapers like early Marlins, and the lower part of the receiver looks early Marlin-like.

Yeah I see that!

Are you right handed? You might look at this.

salvo wrote:Now thats a nice old carbine!

Hobie, maybe the Browning 1895 would be the rifle to be looking for? since they have no safety and rebounding hammer.

That is exactly why I bought on rather than the carbines. I'd like a carbine but not with that stuff. Just call me a reactionary.

I need to get casting and get to the range. I've got th brass question licked, I think. So, what are the mold numbers and what are the powder charges?

I have two favorites but I'm using the more unusual for the moment. those are either 15 gr of L'ilGun under the Remington 180 gr. SJHP (intended for the .357 Maximum in a pistol i.e. the same velocities as from a .357 Mag in a rifle) OR 18 gr. of L'ilGun under the Hornady 158 gr. XTP- FP ( the XTP-H...

Done. I hope you'll give us an update...

The "Chaparral Brass" is coming from Italy - all calibers. Was told in about 2 weeks... but don't try holding your breath though

Price? TBD

With the Euro so strong...

We need our little green with envy smilie... That's a good one!

I have been thinking about getting one of the new Jap 1895's in either 30-06 or I have even seen them in .270 (One of my favorite deer hunting calibers) Plus I have a ton of once fired .270 brass :D I think the 1895 would be perfect for deer hunting out here in the West, do you? My main questions a...

Off to the diggings with a 1873(?).

Can't discern the model of this carbine but it is a levergun...

From the Yukon... An 1894 rifle... http://www.tc.gov.yk.ca/digitization/images_web/007676.jpg an 1895 SRC... http://www.tc.gov.yk.ca/digitization/images_web/008117.jpg and that "rifle" looks like an 1887 or 1901 to me. (it is on the porch) http://www.tc.gov.yk.ca/digitization/images_web/00...

When I moved from MI to NC 12 years ago the first thing out of my neighbor's mouth when I told him the news wasn't "I'll miss you" or "you were a good neighbor", but "I WANT TO BUY YOUR SNOWBLOWER!". I do NOT miss living up north!!! Hey, I have a snow blower. Of course...

I can't find my priming arm for my Rockchucker either! Now that's frustrating as I thought it was in a safe place. However, my loading area is VERY clean this morning... Your priming arm is sitting over there next to your Imperial sizing wax. Can't you see it ... right there. :lol: :lol: You're pro...

You know you ruined the "collector" value on that gun...

Looks good!

Guess I've got yet another call to make...

I've gotten no updates/prices that I requested. Perhaps they lost my e-mail... :roll: I can't find my priming arm for my Rockchucker either!

Thanks for this, I've got my dad's Zippo... I had one but lost it about the time I quit smoking in 1975.

Leverluver wrote:What is the rim diameter and thickness of the Starline 50 AK?

When I looked it up it was the same as the .50-90 Sharps and .50-70. However, I'm not with the dimensions at the moment. I will say that they work in my SRC.

The last time I had only one centerfire rifle was 1973. It was a levergun.

Joe speaks for me, too.

Sorry I didn't find that case form lube yet. If you want to try some of my 50/50 lanolin/castor let me know. I can get that right out. Did you find your old jar of lube? No, I haven't found my Imperial sizing wax yet. :oops: You'd think such things would be easy to find. I'm sure I put it in a safe...

I'm using Lee dies. I'm not seeing a lot of working of the case head. However, it is larger than the .348 Winchester (don't ask me why). Thus it won't fit through the throat of the AutoPrime even though the .348 Win will. Well, it will now. I ground out the throat a bit with my Dremel tool so that t...

Less than an hour to sell. Very good!

There is one fly in the ointment of using the .50 caliber cases. That is that the cases don't fix any shell holders for the Lee Auto-Prime and the cases won't fit in the throat of the Auto-Prime. My answer is to re-install the priming arm on my Rockchucker and prime on the press. I don't think I'll ...

My wife's phone has the locking code. A pain to be sure. Like Junior, I think the cell phone has health and security implications. I think you should have one in the house as a backup to landlines which can be cut. We are well aware of coverage isues living/playing in the mountainous region of VA in...
