Stretch has it right in my opinion. I like the Postal Service. I am all the time shipping stuff from Pa. to Colorado and its a max 3 days--cheaper than UPS also. You just can't ship handguns at the USPS. When I do ship guns, I ship in a $15 hard case and put that case in a cardboard box. I declare i...

That was pretty neat. You guys have had some very cool responses. I especially like the "got nailed" and "Brad" responses.

I way I see it, its "good riddence".

Another dirt bag who probably deserved what he got.

Mike, She's a beauty! I like the grips and appear to be better handling than the ones on mine. (I thought I had the only fixed sight 629 :D ) I have to warn you that full power loads will make the gun to want to jump out of your hands. I mean really nasty and uncontrolable. For me, I have a heck of ...

OK, I'll admit it, I used to play the male organ.

Sixgun - Great find and very reasonable price! Congratulations. Love the 5". Is there more practical value with a 6 groove backstrap, versus the later iteration? Thanks for sharing. GoatGuy, I don't think so. Its just an enginering change when they went to the 10 groove. (I think 10--my newer ...

errrrrrrrrrrr, uh, what about my trade offer? Ok, lets figure this out. Klondike bars and some rem 9.5 mag primers? Well, I feel as though I would be taking advantage of you so as I already have about 50K of primers, send me the K Bars but..........I want the Klondike bars to be fresh and packed in...

Pete, Just when I thought I had seen everything, something new comes along. That is really neat! I never would have thought of stone but in the case of the Mini's, it makes perfect sense. It adds a bit of weight and width for easier handling. The colors are beautiful. I bet that scratching the insid...

I cant see why you can't just shoot 410 Shot shells from it. They will chamber . Just might be a little long. Eather way Cutting down a 410 would be eassier than rounding over your brass. J.Michael Mike--you 'da man for coming over to Leverguns. We need to talk about our upcoming "fun weekend&...

:oops: I ain't doin' no group hug :roll: Oh man, That was good :D We may be considerate and helpful but we ain't no stinkin' Liberals :D I've said it before, and here it goes again.

It is a Winchester Model 1873 Tang Sight, later designated the 62B.The sight was specifically designed for the '73 and has a patent date of June 14, 1881 marked on the elevation stem. Mike, your good :D And I might add, that sight is worth an easy grand. :D I had my hands on one about 3 months ago ...

Sixgun

OK, lets fight!!!!!!!!!! :D :D Yea, Ed, your right. One thing about being in the game a long time, we tend to assume others know what we know. And we all know what "assume" does. It makes an "butt" out of "u" and "me". :D :D I should have said the heavier &quo...

Both this and the old sixgunner.com forums were started by Christian men with Christian principles. And it shows to this day. Not perfect by a long shot, but the foundation shows through day in and day out. Paul, :D +1 I started out on Sixgunner.Com back in '98 and came here after Paco set it up. I...

Sixgun

I agree with what the other boys have said--clean her up. There is a possibility the original owner cut a few coils off the mainspring to lighten up the trigger pull, so if the cleaning don't work, call Marlin up for a new mainspring. (probably $8 or so) Just pop off the buttstock and you will see h...

Sixgun

Kirk, You and I sure have similar tastes. Thats nice! :D I just had to laugh when you said your first load has "potential" . I would have stopped right there. Cream of wheat (to me) is nothing more than unneeded aggravation. My all time favorite 35 year old load for Trapdoors is 11 grains ...

I'd say Just a Jeep Guy is close--about 10-15 years ago. When I started loading in 1972, the going rate for most powders was about $4.50,--------------but.....IIRC, my job paid $4 bucks an hour------------e gads....life is short

While I have had several nice Model 27 'Smiths, I never did have an early one--until yesterday. There's just not a whole lot of 5 screw 27's around, especially one in nickel with a 5" barrel thats hardly been shot. (Well, thats gonna change :D ) This one was made in 1952 and is about as close t...

Sixgun

I would just like to play with that '73 for one day. Push some bp loads out of it at rocks and things. Nothing beats handling a historic firearm. That would excite me more than meeting the queen of England. (well, don't know 'bout that, the only people from England I like are Nath and Gamekeeper :D ...

Sixgun

Kirk, I hear 'ya on the inspiration. Just try about 25 pounds at first to "get the hang" of it. No rocket science required! Wear a heavy cloth apron and absolutely wear eye protection. Heat it until she melts and stir-stir-stir. The junk will float to the top. Either pick out or use a big ...

Sixgun

Ha! He's lying (my son, Sixgun Jr.) He claims to "be there". Yea right, he was probably driving that train. I hear things get boring and he wanted to see some action.

The truth? He was firing some 30-30's out the window of the engine at some jack rabbits ----------Yo Pappa

Sixgun

Ben T--That was gooooodddddd. :D Kirk and others, I forgot to mention that any old propane bar-b-cue gas grill works great also. Of course, it will be useless for food after using it and NO, I don't put those pots back in the house. You can pick up an old bar-b-cue gas grill just by cruising real sl...

I'd like to drop that baby in my old '89 YJ (my avatar) Of course, I would probably have to change the motor mounts and rejet the carb, but, I would add nitrous!--------Sixgun

Sixgun

Ben, No cleaning necessary--just dump 'em in, valve stems, bugs, trash, dirt, everything except a live round. (I had that happen back in the seventies :o ) When the lead melts, all the junk floats to the top. I cannot believe my son "bump fired" all those 69 gr. Sierra match bullets I sent...

Simple, add another Golden Rod or two--cheap----plus, get 'em out of the socks. I never did like anything touching my guns-------------------Sixgun

Very interesting! .458 X 2? Must have had quite bit of action work and some serious money invested. Neato also on the choke tube

Nice! Now if you could get your hands on a Linotype smelter you could do that in less than an hour. Tycer, I hear 'ya on that. I have been keeping my eyes open for the last 30 years for a plumbers furnace but nothing like that has crossed my path----------yet. I'm not one to pay full price for some...

Sixgun

Chuck, Whenever you see a load for a 170 gr. bullet, the same load will work for anything LIGHTER. You can add a half gr. until you get what you like, but as a common sense thing, don't go much over than a couple of percent over of what the max load was for the heavier bullet. For all of the weird s...

Sixgun

Yea guys, big smelting operation here. Its so big, I'm the CEO. :D Anyway, now that the bs is over, this is how I melt wheelweights into the nice little 1 lb ingots so I can shoot my Winchesters and other goodies. You can do the same. I use a Cabelas propane two burner camp stove. For melting pots, ...

Odinohi, I realize what I'm about to say is like "closing the barn door after the horse got out" but here goes: Whenever starting to use a new bullet design, load a dummy first and seat the bullet to how you will use it in live rounds. Then play with that dummy until the cows come home. If...

I'm with Kirk and Mike. I'd take a nice rifle anytime over a sign. Besides, if I had that sign, I'd probably shoot it like I have done to many others.

1888, Its a Lyman #4 front sight. It was only somewhat popular as I have only seen a few over the years. I have one right now thats on an extra lightweight 1886. They were cataloged right up to about WW2. The selling point of this sight was that the ivory bead was surrounded by metal and could not (...

Gamekeeper, I sure hope you snag your 30-30 levergun and yes, I am in agreement with you on the cresent buttplate, as long as the caliber is not a biggie. I do have one 45-90 with a cresent plate and that thing is just not fun to shoot, except with sissy loads. As a handloader, you will have lots of...

Wacko,
Sorry, Cannot agree with you on your nice Winchester being worthless, although I do know a few people who fit that description.------Sixgun

Hey! Whats this all about? Am I missin' somethin'?

I told you not to post any pictures of my '73! Well, on the other hand, I guess its OK as this '73 is one of my plainer ones

Sixgun, I wish I would have taken your advice. They called me a half hour ago and said she past away peacefully in her sleep. I think she really missed Kiowa. I know we miss them both. We're gonna go bring her home in the morning. I have a spot next to Kiowa. Yes, if certain animals spend time arou...

In shooting tens of thousands of rounds out of Colt SAA's, I have broken one spring, and yep, it was a hand spring while elk hunting in the Rockies. (go figure! :( The temperatures were in the -15 to 10 degree range and I think that had something to do with it, plus my stupidity of trying to shoot a...

Fellow Guncranks, I am especially proud of this young lady, my granddaughter Sierra, who is 9 years old. She is modeling my son's Colt LE6940 M-4 .223. And yes, she does shoot, mostly .22 Rugers, in handgun and rifle form. Sierra and her younger sister Saige, will grow up to be good patriotic Americ...

Tom, My wife and I are with 'ya. on your little buddies. I'm the guy who wrote in your other post about our 14 Yorkies. Just a bit of advice on this very Holy Day. We too, love our dogs/cats/horses more than we care for most people, but beware of the vets. They take advantage of that love. We have b...

Neato!

The rifle looks like a '94 src. (boy, that was a toughy)

Sure seems like a much more pleasant time, don't it? People were respectful, honest and Kalifornia was not pink

-------------Sixgun

Sixgun

Leave it alone. You can shoot cast bullets in that rifle at around 12-1400 fps that will not give you much recoil. That .405 sounds like a rifle in the category of, "I wish that rifle could talk". I have a few 1895 takedowns and I'll take a pic when I get some breathing time. In the meanti...

Ha! Redneck jokes never get old. They are almost as good as my favorites. hint---How come certain people stink? answer---This way the K-9's can find 'em at nightime.

See! Ain't this fun? Guns are very cool but sometimes we must all deviate from the beaten path, and I don't mean "deviate" as that word is used at that funny area all the way to the West, or just North of me. (No offense to you Kal. boys

Goodness! I have never seen such a thorough explaination in all my life

That would be enough to make me send them a donation of some sort. Good people!

While hunting in the Rockies, we find fossils of leaves and little snails all the time. You hit a nice one!---------Sixgun

I'd be interested in hearing how this works antique or not. Me too, although I did send an antique handgun to Kirk D. in Canada. I filled out all the forms and posted it on the outside of the box, declaring what was inside. I had the gun in a metal lock box with the key taped to the top. Funny thin...

You and I must be near the same age. (54) I too remember Herter's real well. In fact, so well I bought 5000 .22 rimfire shells when I saw them at a give-away price. The name got me all excited. They shoot great but several out of every box will split about an 1/8" and give me some blow-by.-----...
