That's a nice one

Pat C

My son has one he won as Top Overall @ Raton in '94. It'd been reworked with a rehardened cylinder & action job by Bill Oglesby of Springfield, IL. Great gun, still runs strong after replacing the mainspring after sitting in the safe for many years.. IMG_0106.JPG Pictured on top with EMF Hartfo...

Interesting ,could have been disastrous.

I had thought about putting a Colt barrel on mine changing to 38 WCF . Supposedly 1st gen barrels fit.

Pat C

Was it old Colt 1st or 2nd barrel?

Pat C

Had my old 94 era ASM Hartford SAA , sat down with Kuhnhausens shop manual to compare specs to Colt 1st Gen. Very close indeed all main parts were within Colt tolerances . I didn't take it down but supposedly Barrels of 20 TPI fit these frames. Looking at ratchet appears timing is different though ,...

Ted, Any chance getting a close up picture inside the B92 with carrier pushed down ,both sides.

Pat C

That is a dandy for sure ,very nice design.

Pat C

Survivor ,yes that's an appropriate name .

Pat C

I held out for a long long time , didn't get one until 2012 or so . I still to this day buy the cheapest phone I can . Last two LG for $169 and latest Samsung Galaxy $199. All I need.
If I hadn't dropped the LG and cracked screen I'd still be using it. Still works fine.

Pat C

Yes , that's a whole other level of fugly

Pat C

Looks like one of those gator hunter rifles rode in 5 gal bucket with rotten chicken scraps.

1063891498 Gunbroker

The title was the sellers, thought is fitting ,it's pretty darn fugly.

Pat C

Last I looked it was already over $200 and had multiple bids.

Pat C

Currently for sale on GB ,definatly a contest front runner.Has a nice bore though.

Pat C

Hammer price of $352,500

Pat C

Excellent Ted, that's a keeper and next best thing to original 1892.

Pat C

Well keep are fingers crossed

Pat C

Ugly Hombre posted this on Colt Forum he found , M1 Carbine and Old Model Ruger Blackhawk presumably in 30 carbine

Pat C

At $600 doubtful that will last , that's what they sold for 25 plus years ago.

Pat C

Thanks Bill ,My wife found him in late 2005 .My Dad and my Father n Law both were dying of cancer . We made a home for him in January of 2006 lost my Dad and Father n Law few months later. He helped us get through a very hard time.

Pat C

Toby , My rescue terrier mix mut. He was 12 -15 months when we got him . Passed away last year at ripe old age of 18+
Long time to have an animal ,don't know that I'll ever have anouther.

Pat C

I was hoping that new Ranger was going to be steel framed,sadly it's aluminum. That Marlin 39 will have to suffice

Pat C

Roger that, I can see it happening

Pat C

Six, Very worthy doubts . Although one can easily confirm in person ,not so easy with photos. If big money was put down I would want to measure frame dimensions, barrel dimensions, markings with good loop compared to original. My guess though it had factory preservative on it and was wrapped in the ...

Pat C

I love dogs , after loosing my last one don't know if I can do it again. Over 17 years it's like loosing a family member .

Pat C

Beautiful dog , mine of 17+ years passed in February 2023.
Tuff to say the least.

Pat C

This is the stock repair I plan on using.

Pat C

Never heard of it , may try some. I just used liquid wrench and break free CLP.. My grace set fit better but ,crecent wrench on handle twisted it. The magna bit with 1/2" drive started it. But it was back and forth . The rusty shank is what had it.

Pat C

The Richard Crosier 1886 sold on Gunbroker last year for $25K by itself no other accouterments. Nearly same rifle condition was very high. The story and everything going with the rifle plus the condition really take the Marshfield rifle to premium levels. Not sure what the outcome will be. I know 18...

Pat C

Thanks folks!

Pat C

I'll have to give it to you people that drive in these crazy places. I have ZERO need for any of it. Worst place I've been was Around Atlanta heading to Fort Benning when my Nephew graduated . 10 lanes of traffic at 5:00 pm barely moving ,sans some person in sports car popping in an out of lanes. Th...

Pat C

Little story to add to this find , 25 plus years ago a coworker came in said he had a .22 he wanted to sell . I asked what it was he said Marlin. Unfortunately he used some improper chemicals to clean it and tool all the finish off wood and metal. Just a pitiful looking grey barewood gun. I ended up...

Pat C

Thanks, Now if I can get that stock fixed up I'll be happy camper.

Pat C

Few more.

Pat C

Had time to do a little cleaning on the 39-A , got most of the freckling off .Some staining and few light pits remain but over all cleaned up nice. Bore is mint and it's a shooter. Spent two hours trying to get the stock bolt out ,twisted my new Grace driver using a wrench on it. Finally got mad dog...

Pat C

You see them in 75%-80% ocassionally ,usually some patina mixed in . Seldom do we get to see an as new rifle as it appeared in 1886.

Pat C

I'm OK I don't have anything that will hold together over 85, no need for me to see any of that part of the country.I avoid places like that like the plague. live in the mountains, hallelujah!!

Pat C

About the closest a man can get to going back in time and looking at a new 1886 Winchester. You see a decent amount of nice rifles but seldom one with no patina or any use.

Pat C

Estimated to fetch upwards of $275K ,one of the highest known condition 1886's like a time capsule.

Pat C

Winchester applied grease and preservative oil pretty good to new gunsshipped in crates back then. Which you can see it dried I'm all the nooks and crannies.

If one remembers that crate of 10 Winchester 1894 SRC 's found in a wharhouse. After 100 years or so. Were pristine

Pat C

Some close ups

Pat C

Extraordinary Winchester 1886 first year production in original shipping crate found in attic .Survived in near New condition as you could imagine.

Pat C

Anouther nice honest Winchester with a lot of life left.!

Pat C

Everyone of those swept back tang sights I see are $$$$

Pat C

Sorry to here of your decline in health ,hang in there keep the faith.

As for the carbine it surely is a nice one , appears to be one of the more pricey tang sights made for Savage 99 ?

Pat C

Miniature Chestnut

, when they are ready ,soon I'll pick a few to show. Used to see them 30-40 years ago along farm fence rows, edges of fields . Not many remain. I need to clean out around mine some.

Pat C

Have a couple left on my property in an old fence row that wooded now.

Web sight is down , tried duck duck go, chrome .

Says web page is currently unavailable.

Pat C

You could but stock is serialized to rifle. I'll get it stripped to check color and exact grain orientation .Look for a matching section . Mortise and tennon fit with Tightbond glue.

Pat C

We'll call it " The Good ,the Bad, and the UGLY " The Good Recently in my travels spied an unfortunate 1st model 39 A made in 1939 $400 . Most all the original color case and rust blue. The bad is some light surface freckling from moisture that should clean up with TLC . The ugly , rifle w...
