Gentlemen, I just completed a very satisfying purchase from this site. Not a lever, but very pleasent Pete, I received the rifle at 2:00 pm, excitedly checked everything, cleaned and assembled. To say I'm happy is an understatement. The rifle is like new and better than expected. You were also very...

Gentlemen, '
Thanks for the replies and Encouragement. Apparently, We both struck it right. Happier than a pig in ? Ive been soo hppy all day, it may even be passed to my wife, and it keeps getting better???

Gentlemen,
I bought a mountain rifle from Pete, I particulurly wanted a 1 in 28" twist barrel. I can't understand allowing inlines on an old timey hunt, but I'm open enough to say, the twist was within 1830's Inventiveness. Not really fair thinking. I just like traditinal styleing.

I have complained before about OT threads and was told go to the active topics. I have seen , "How to buy a car", Slug guns, The best ammo for slug guns, What I did on vacation, ETC., on the active topic list. It appears that most users here now are bored children with a lot of nothing to ...

Sir,
If you can afford the Shiloh Sharps, that would definitely be the finest made. I have owned a Shiloh and the Italian replicas. The Italians don't compare in ANY way.

Gentlemen,
You all forgot the MOST important; The Mauser Bros. Shame!

Paul Jenkins

Gentlemen,
What in your opinion is the most durable cold blue? Mostly for shotgun slides and barrels

I think my Browning '86, .45-70 is the finest piece of rifle workmanship I have ever owned. I gave $1250 for my used , but near new 2 yrs. ago. I did have to do work on the trigger. I can get under 1" at 100yds more often than not. Buy it quick. It will also handle any load your man enough to h...

Paul Jenkins

Sir,
That is one beautiful rifle. I also would like you to post resuls using the 520 gr. Good luck.

Paul Jenkins

Gentlemen, A 50-110 sharps develops very little pressure. The Ruger is considered the strongest of ALL. Shiloh says their rifles are as strong as a Ruger. Everything else falls behind the Ruger, Shiloh, and Brownings. The Ruger, Shilohs, Browning, and Late Winchesters are good to 50,000 PSI. Marlins...

Joe,
I have the Load From A Disk software. Send me the specifics, bullet weight, BC, velocity, ht. of sights above brl., I'll E-Mail you a chart.

Paul Jenkins

Hobie, I like the way you think. I had a recent incident, recounted here, where I was able to avoid shooting somebody who was impaired and I am glad of it. Just because you can do something doesn't mean that you should do something. Wink Nonetheless, I wouldn't hold it against somebody who did just ...

Tennessee Hayre, I own a .45-70 Shiloh sharps Montana, an '86 Brownining, and an '85 browning BPCR, and I was very surprised to see a friend outshoot all three at 100 yds. with a Marlin Guide Gun. I don't belive all Guide Guns have that capibility, but he shoots one hole groups at 100 yds. all day l...

Gentlemen, Nate Kiowa Jones was being VERY polite. If you don't have the ability to measure threads, you certainly don't have the ability to do ANY mechanical work on firearms. Ask a competent gunsmith to do the work before you injure yourself or someone else. This is not only for your safety, but o...

I just thought the jacket was NEEDED to keep his Wrist ,elbow, and shoulder in place.

If it's in nice shape, I a great deal.

That photo is scary!I had toyed with the idea of getting into reloading in a limited way that would'nt get me killed or maimed.Is trailboss a kindof blackpowder substitute in smokeless for blackpowder?In other words,might it be harder to have an accident with a forgiving powder that fluffs out and ...

Paul Jenkins

For my leverguns, a crisp 3# is safe and adequate for ranges I am comfortable with, I have dedicated target rifles with triggers as light as 11/2 oz. You have to learn to keep your finger off the trigger until you are pointing at what you WANT to shoot.

Paul Jenkins

I had a fellow trapshooter almost shoot my right heel off last yr. The shoot was over and he thought he put snap caps in hisO/U. Stupidity such as my trapshooter, your reloader, and accidental shootings while hunting are the shooting sports biggest problems. You said he served two tours in NAM. SO d...

Gentlemen, I have a CCP for Pa. & De. and know that responsibility. I also know a few retired LEO's who do not carry at all. I consider carrying to be a responsibility I don't like that responsibility, but , ran into a situation where I would have liked to have been armed. I now am legally armed...

About Japchesters, I learned to hunt under the direction of two men who survived the Bataan Death March. No two hated the Japs and anything made in Japan more than them. They are both long gone now. Like Tv's and cameras. The Japs now make the best guns. Hate them or not. I own a '92, '85, and '86 B...

Paul Jenkins

Finest piece of work I've owned. Gave $1200 for my rifle a yr. ago in very near new cond. It would take a lot more for me to part with it.

Paul Jenkins

A few years ago I believe I downloaded a site from here that was from a California gun club. It had much info on casting. Alloys, lead hardness, shrinkage, etc.,. I know I'm not giving much help, but do any of you know of such a site?

Paul Jenkins

I paid $1200 for a very fine used Browning '86 .45-70 #1 grade a yr. ago.Original box, great accuracy, fine fit & finish. I'm HAPPY.

Paul Jenkins

I shoot a couple thousand rds a year in .25-06,.30-06,.4570 and all shoot high in a clean barrel. As you discovered, 3 shots to settle it to a consistant POI. I always try to get 3 or 4 shots off before hunting.

Paul Jenkins

Attached to my will is a typed letter giving my best friend instructions to contact the list of people that are on there, each is to select one of my guns that they want until the safe is empty. My wife wouldn't need the money so instead of selling them I am giving them away to a list of good frien...

Paul Jenkins

Andy, We all have different opinions. I bought a sharps 5 yrs. ago and it is by far the best made of the '74s It is also the only one stated to be as strong as the Ruger #1s.I sold my Shiloh sharps this past March for $3300. I paid $2300. Bought a Browning '85 BPCR used ,but in perfect shape for $80...

Paul Jenkins

Gentlemen, No flame intended, but, I would like to have you consider the reasons we that have spent twice as much on Brownings.You have to know that we consider ,Fit, finish.reliability, and accuracy more important than price I won't argue that a browning is worth twice the price. I will argue it is...

Paul Jenkins

Pete, I noticed three; questions lacking in these posts; how big a pig?; are wounded pigs gonna be gentle?; are any of the posters experienced? I'm not. I am booking a hunt in SC in late March, so, have an interest here too. I have a .45C in a '92 that is loaded up to 1500 fps, 280 gr bullet and I t...

What really bothered me was seeing McCall carrying a TC renegade.

I E-Mailed MVA 6 mos. ago and they told me the S.S.t. was still in the design stage,but said they would notify when production started. I understand that Lee Shaver can get the 1885 trigger down to 2# for about $45. you only have to send him the trigger group. I met a man last week with an older Ube...

Gentlemen, I have been a Reminton fan for 40 yrs., But, I think they are on a downhill slide. Remington is now owned by a wall street holding firm that has little tradition with firearms. DuPont was the last owners that put anything back in the Rem. name. Probably two more companies that will go und...

Paul Jenkins

Sir I can't speak for '92s, But, I have a '63 Sharps that is pretty,but, has poorly engineered components; i.e., soft screws a loose barrel. I mean it started unscrewing itself under recoil. Had to replace the breech block because the nipple pushed off center. If it's made by Armi-Sport, avoid it. I...
