I started this post a bit ago, then my Brother had a stroke. Now he has past away.
Back to the 30-30. After fooling with, it I found the loading gate was causing the problem. If I pull down the gate a tic with my finger I can close the action.
A possible fix with not going to a smith?

Thanks Joe,

A bit ago, I was having problems with my 30-30. Well my brother had a massive stroke and it looks like that he will give up the ghost. BTW he turned 65 on July 4.
I'll get back in a bit. Thank you for you ideas.

My friends father (80+) gave me a Glenfield 30-30. Today I shot it for the first time. It shouts tits., But after 4 shooting it 3X I could not pull the lever back. I called Marlin and they said to take it to a gun smith. Marlins are simple. The gun has not been fired for 40 years. Thoughts on the fi...

Well. I am down to a few companies. El Paso Saddlery is number one at this time. Going for a Tankers model. (frees my belt)

Thanks for all replies. After looking around, I'm looking for a tankers type. A shoulder holster would work, but not my first choice.
I have fences to mend and other jobs.
Do you know who makes a tankers type? I went the internet with no luck.

I have a chance to buy a S&W 627 at a very, very good price. Uncle Sams return will pay for it if I get it.
The fella has a Uncle Mike holster with it.
Can you guys point me to a better holster for it?

JNG

Well I took off the scope mount and saw that is a Remington 03-A3. Malamute you were right, I added a number to the serial that I put down. It is 407xxxx, 1943 I believe. Thanks for all the help.

Joe

JNG

Well, I looked at her again, and it is 407xxxx. Took the bolt out, the rail says B-uehler, Orinda,Cal. If I was not lazy I would pull out the rail and read more. The bottom mag box is machined. Now this is my only my 2nd bolt. Love levers. The rail is new to me. The front has a big hole where the no...

JNG

Thank you for all the info. Malamute, thank you for the web site. The gun serial number 407xxxxx was made in 1910.
I load for my M-1, I believe that I'll stay with that load for the 03.
Anybody have any sweet loads for them?

I need info from you folks. Last year a kid wanted to trade his pistol for a rifle. ( Well he is not a kid, he is 41 like my oldest, known since him he was 8, what can I say.) Anyway, they traded a rifle for a M-9. I asked him about the rifle and he said that the first time he shot it, he did not li...

Big news is that in Texas you are now allowed to open carry with a back-ground check. Big deal! In Ohio, you have been able to carry open since the 1800's. Now, you can carry in anyplace and not break the law. But in big cities there may be issues, though you may go through issues, but not charged. ...

I was reading on another forum about the price of E.R visits. Am I the only one here that had a Doctor come to the house to

With comments from here I tied the bait (peanut butter and raison to the trap. I also drill a hole into the mouse trap and tie her down. Works like a charm. Thanks for the idea guy and gals. But the little mouse is now in heaven with all the cheese he can eat.

With out the time change, my dog gets up between 0530 and 0600. So the time change came, he still gets up at ~ 0600 (now 0500).
He eats a 1600 hrs. Now he wants to eat at 1500 hrs.
I guess that my dog can't read!

J.T. Barret was arrested for DUI. Not smart! Now the small world thing. The police officer that arrested him was a fellow that we babysat and grew up with our son. They were a few months apart.

I have a bug! I would love to get one or the other. A few years ago Winchester brought out the 25-35, but at that time I was paying for college for the kids.

Thanks for all the ideas. Latter this month, I am going to have my left rotor cuff repaired. So my grandson and I will take apart the 30-30, clean her up and stain her. Beats looking at the boob tube, plus you can never get back the time with each other.

Thank for you ideas,

A bit ago I posted a request for light loads for a 30-30. I got some 115 gc bullets and will soon be loading them up and test them. This rifle will be going to my grandson. The Gentleman who I got the rifle from, is a life long friend. The problem, This rifle has not been used since the early 70's. ...

Years ago I started out with lever rifles. As time past, I went to semi and/or bolt rifles, though still having a lever or two around.

Thanks for all the replays. I know the 44 is a great round but, I've had a itch for a 41. Wife told me I did not need it. Wives!
Since when did we need most guns that we have. Go figure!
P.S. The Max is super cool and dead nuts on targets. Get one if you can.

My father-in-law passed away Sunday, he was 89. Now he will go to his reward and be with the Lord and his wife of 67 years.

Not in a lever that I can find (wish it were). In Ohio, we can use the Max to hunt deer. I love the .357, my fav next to the 45-70. That said, the 45-70 is a tad overkill for deer (didn't say it will not be used). So, I sent my H&R .357 to a Mr. White to shoot the Max. Wow! I got less MOA at 100...

Thanks for all the advice. I will look at XS and Williams sights. I have Red dots but, I want a smooth receiver. Thanks again.

Hi,
I came into a Glenfield 30-30 a bit back. I have a Winchester .357 with a Williams peep sights. They work fine, but I would like
to put a peep sight that has a clean side on the receiver. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

I know that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, but... Looking through G&A and saw the Taurus Curve in.380. I you like it fine but, to me it looks like a staple gun (work box gun)? But goodness, at 15' 4 to 5 inch group, maybe a staple gun may work just as well.
