I checked out Scout Scopes over at MidwayUSA and narrowed it down to 2 scopes, Burris and Leupold. Which one do you guys think is the better scope? TIA

Thanks, Tycer. IF the EER 2X pistol scope don't work (I've already got one of these), I will end up getting the Scout Scope IER.

1894cfan

Gonna turn my Win 94 into a scout rifle, using XS lever scout mount. Is a Leupold 2X EER scope adiquit(sp?)? Is a 30/30 good enough for use as a scout rifle?

1894cfan

Anybody here know if the Stack-On brand of safes is of the same design?

1894cfan

My first guns ever were a Marlin 39a and a Ruger Single-Six, in that order.

Perfect, just what I need, something ELSE to buy for my M1 carbine!!

1894cfan

Two 39As, one 1948 w/ Williams FP w/target knobs, one 1977 w/ Weaver K4.

Sorry about no pics, no camera.

Mine DOES look like that, EXACTLY like that, even made in the same year! Heck, I even had to go to the safe to make sure mine was still there!

1894cfan

I shoot 180 cast bullets with 12gr SR4759 useing standard primers out of my new model blackhawk and 1894c. I got that load out of the RCBS cast bullet reloading manual. I get 1346fps out of an 18.5" barrel. BTW, max load is 13gr.

1894cfan

Aside from the .22's that I plink and target shoot with, most of my guns I use as a good place to store some of my ammo.

It's too bad there's no Smilies with a hand salute.

Been there, done that at MidwayUSA! My credit card is screaming!

What is this PITA? Does it stand for Pain In The A@@?

Is there a letter at the beginning of the serial number? If so, could you tell us what it is? TIA

I'd like to see them do that on a Glock firing pin!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heck, they'd need a electron microscope to read it.

1894cfan

Thanks for the info, guys. It does have the rounded front sight hood AND Lyman 66MC receiver sight. I've been thinking of getting a Marbles slot blank to stick in the slot of the missing rear sight. BTW, the bore is in REALLY good condition. I've been told that I'm only the second owner of this 39A....

1894cfan

And am trying to find out something about it. S/N E69XX stamped under lever, with tappered barrel, rather large bellied forearm, drilled and tapped for scope mount, receiver sight (currently has a Lyman sight), AND tang sight. It appears to be in pretty good condition but has seen a fair amount of u...

Just had a thought, instead of electrical tape, how about a un-lubed condom? Worked for GIs in WW2!! Or if that's too wild for ya, how about a baloon? Red one maybe?

I think I've got a perfect example for you guys. My nephew was convicted of felonys, did his time and completed parole. A few months ago, my Father died and my oldest brother was co-executor and was in charge of the estate sale. He had a .38 revolver stashed for protection just in case. Sometime dur...

1894cfan

Nice pics and stories, guys. I just picked up a .357/20Ga just yesterday for a couple hundred. Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet.

1894cfan

You'll have no argument from me, I've got a 1894c loaded with eleven .38's and a Glock 23 with a 13 rd. and a 15 rd. mags by my bed! It's either those or a .30 carbine with three 15 rounders and a Glock 21 with two 13 rounders. Either way, the jobs gonna get done!!! Oh, my ringing ears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1894cfan

I'd suggest trying SR4759 with lead bullets, it burns cooler and cleaner.

Thanks, Hobie. I'll give them a try.

1894cfan, Other loads that I tried which replicated the 27/3031 is either 18 grs. of 4759 or 4227. w30wcf Thanks for that one, w30wcf. I'd much rather go with SR4759, I've got lots of that one from working up reduced loads for my Ruger M77RSI .308. Anybody got any loads for Hornady 100 Short Jacket...

1894cfan

I use 27 gr. IMR 3031 for the Sierra 85 gr. RNSP... This was the "trapper" load we talked about a few months ago. It duplicates the old 1920s (IIRC) load but is using a SP instead of the FMJ in the original. Thanks, Hobie. I just picked up a fresh container of IMR 3031. Now to pick up a b...

1894cfan

Does anybody here have a load worked up for the Hornady .308cal 86gr sp for 30/30 Win? I'm looking for a plinking/coyote load for this bullet. TIA

1894cfan

I hear ya. The last 5 months have been kinda rough for me too. Docs found a tumor about the size of a small orange and operated on my Dad late January and he went down hill after that. He died on March 26th. Among the rifles that I got from him just before he died was a Winchester 94 30/30 that he g...

1894cfan

Marlin 1894cs, 145gr Win. Silvertip over 18gr 296 w/ WSPM primer.
That ought to take care of any coyotes(2 or 4 legged) or whitetails I run across.

1894cfan

Hi jdad,
I just wanted to go the cheapest/easiest/quickest route, matter of fact, I didn't even have to take the blade sight off the rifle to do this work.

1894cfan

I've been reading about some of the problems/bitches/moans and groans, etc. about Marlin blade front sights, and thought I'd pipe up and tell what I did with the front sight on my Marlin 1894cs. I never did like the bead on the blade front sight, so I took my trusty dremel with a sanding disc and sa...

1894cfan

Can you guys say RFID?

1894cfan

Thanks for that bit of info, Ray. That's why I only got 100 rds. of 38 S&W brass ordered from Midway. Somebody else posted on Marlinowners/reloading that 38 Short Colt would be a better deal because it doesn't need trimming at all.
I'll see what happens when I start playing around with the brass.

1894cfan

I've got a RCBS TrimPro powered case trimmer setup.

1894cfan

PPpastordon and Ray,

Thanks for the info, just ordered 100 Star Line 38 S&W brass from Midway for $15.79. Now to wait for them to get here and start trimming!!

PPpastordon

Hey, now that sounds like a winner!!!!!!!

1894cfan

At that price

, I think I'll stick with the moon clips.

1894cfan

blackhawk44 wrote:Looks like time to hunt for half moon clips.

I've got LOTS of half moon clips + a bunch of 1/3 moon clips + 21 full moon clips, so I'm covered there. I guess I'm just being lazy, it's a pita to load and unload them suckers!

1894cfan

Yea, that's it. Thanks, cas. Now to try and find some.

1894cfan

I know these were made back in the day when S&W came out with the 547 9mm revolver. I would like to find some for my Ruger 9MM Speed 6. Anybody here know where I can find some? BTW, anybody know what they were called? TIA

1894cfan

Just got a shipment from Midway, 97rd Bandoleer, 5 18rd ammo wallets and a leather 20rd reloading block ammo carrier, all for my 1894c.

1894cfan

Thanks, guys. I've currently got my 1894cs iron AND K2.5 sighted in for 357 Win Silver Tips out to 50yds. Ought to hit a dear at that range, at least.

1894cfan

What's you guys opinion of the Weaver K2.5 on an 1894c?
