Lucky you!

Been there twice while TDY to Holloman. Was a really neat place. But that was in the late 80's.

Oldncrusty

Yes. All the above. Still acting up

Oldncrusty

Wow. Wish I was a little closer. Happy tradin.

Oldncrusty

The perfect .44

Oldncrusty

That’s a great looking revolver. I have so many PPSs that I have a hard time picking which one to take along and usually ends up being at least two. Now I have another custom just getting started. Have fun with the new shooter! jb 8) Thanks, I shall. I'm not sure this one will make it to my favorit...

Oldncrusty

I put in a request a while back at my lgs for a John Taffin PPP. I was nervous after reading all the horror stories about the grip frame fitment troubles but am glad I didn't chicken out. Thought I'd put up some pics in case anyone else is on the fence.

Oldncrusty

Looks like an awesome place. Thanks for sharing.

Oldncrusty

What a great thread. Thanks to all for the great info. Just picked up a 65 model that looks great, but is " loose as a goose" operation wise. Thinkin about trappering it if I can get the action improved.

Oldncrusty

Thanks again for the tip. Love leather, but can't afford it for all of them.

All those old 1881's had really nice trigger pulls, and the .45-70 caliber 1881's usually had a very short front silver blade sight.

That sure describes mine. That's good to know. Maybe I won't have to replace the front after all. The the ammo I ordered should be here tomorrow.

Oldncrusty

Thanks for the link. I hadn't seen her yet. I have a few Youtube docs I watch. Sure can't pay any attention to my VA pusher.

Oldncrusty

Are you sending from a phone or PC? I upload mine straight from my phone. I might be able to show you how. I ain't no tech whiz though.

Oldncrusty

Glad you got it up and running again. Some pics would be really nice.

Thanks Bill. I'm still in disbelief myself, and wondering how it ended up in KY.
Way up north on the River.

Where in Kentucky are you? I'm in Hardin county.

marlinman93 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 02, 2025 10:04 am I sold a Model 1881 with double set triggers last month at our local collector gun show.

Double sets would be awesome. This one has a trigger pull probably in ounces, and a nub of a front sight, so it likely has seen some long range work.

Oldncrusty

Love the wood some guy at Marlin grabbed out of the pile for the forend. Is it a black powder barrel or was it made late enough to be nickel steel? I'm not Marlin literate ... my oldest gun being a Marlin 1897. The only vague ser. number chart I found on line puts this one at 1890. That is a late m...

Oldncrusty

Been after a '92 for years. This one seems to have been carried way more than used.

Oldncrusty

Been sidetracked with life for a while and after this wild winter, was anxious for the local show to come to town. Went this weekend hoping to downsize. Oh well. Ended up with 3 new levers (2 grail guns) and a Win 1903. #1- Marlin model 1881 in 45-70. Bout soiled myself when I saw it walking around ...

Oldncrusty

Good stuff. Thanks.

Oldncrusty

Congrats on a great score. Got two 39a's, but the Mountie is still eluding me.

Oldncrusty

Thanks for getting me fired up for squirrel season. Used to hunt them voraciously as a kid. Probably have 30 good squirrel rifles to choose from, but I really need to draw blood with my Winchester Model 1893 12 ga. I paid huge $$ for a box of 2 1/2" black powder shells. I don't mind a few stray...

Oldncrusty

Gorgeous! Congrats on the piece and having a friend that generous.

Oldncrusty

Awesome!. Haven't finished my .32-20 kick yet, and here's another idea to think about.
Thanks a lot.

Oldncrusty

A great duo. Been wanting to try both of those for a long time.

Oldncrusty

I eyeballed and fondled this thing for months, trying to resist, but my love for .32s and nickel won out. S&W .32 Hand Ejector. Second model, no change. Pre 5 screw. Made 1903 and 1904. Tight as a drum, very good bore. Cylinder face is spotless. Gonna run it by my smith, but I anticipate a test ...

Oldncrusty

Nice job!. My first cf rifle was a 700 ADL in .243 so I didn't have to worry about all that urethane. But I would have done the same thing to any BDL.

Oldncrusty

Doc's Bighorn post reminded me of this one I found last week. I imagine everyone has seen these, but this is at least a great compilation.

Oldncrusty

Big thanks Doc.

Oldncrusty

Awesome. Glad to hear that.

Oldncrusty

Got a couple .45s back together today with new handles from Chig's. Desert Ironwood burl. Convertible Blachawk, and New Vaquero. Plum tickled with the fit and finish.

Oldncrusty

Here's hoping you do some return a!! kicking.

Oldncrusty

Nice! I need it.

Oldncrusty

Awesome kit there. I need to get on the stick and get one for my ROA.

Oldncrusty

I like it!

Oldncrusty

Glad you didn't end up ground chuck. I haven't had any bad bull experiences, but I did have to milk a schizoid thoroghbred mare one time that had nearly killed another worker. The foal had the scours and wasn't nursing so I had to relieve the pressure for a few days. Guess she liked me, we got along...

Oldncrusty

Thanks ya'll. I'm lovin' it.

This arrived last week from CraigC (Graveyard Jack's). Right hand cross draw for jeans wear. NRA Centennial SAA .45.

That one fascinated me because it wasn’t a rip snorter but rather a balanced cartridge in a useful power range.

I do regret passing up a Rossi Puma in .480 Ruger for $550.

Oldncrusty

I must be strange as well. The last new rifle rounds I had a hankering for were the .260 Rem, and .338 Federal, both on the .308 case. I'll take anything on the .308, 06, 30-30, or H&H cases. For varmints, gimme a 22-250, Swift, or Hornet. For handguns, .32,(Long, H&R, .327, and 32-20) and ....

Oldncrusty

Great to see a good gun brought back from near death. I need to dig mine out and give it a workout.

Oldncrusty

Dang me, Dang me. They oughta take a rope and hang me for missing this thread. For sure on my Mt. Rushmore of gun writers. Prayers for the family.

Sharp!. That's the configuration I like. Had to pass on a Savage pump action 30-30 last week. It hurt, but I'll get over it.
