Shawn, I would say your '95 shoots pretty good. Much better than mine as mine will not shoot jacketed. I have to shoot cast sized to .312. BTW, that sure is a late 1895. Not many came out of the factory in the 30's. Ravenman--Looks like a really fun place to shoot. I see you got steel and plenty of ...

Not just City Folks now but the new landed gentry who are taking over the country as well :? They don't want to have to LIVE in the Utopia, just create it and retire to the country. Big 10-4 on that. I was raised a country boy and have always lived away from people but then the farmers sold out the...

Dastook, Chuck 100 Yd hit the nail on the head. I am 53 and all of my leverguns are equipped with tang sights. Just focus on the front sight, leave the target a little fuzy and the eye will automatically center itself. Below is a picture of my son with his Browning 1886 SRC with a tang sight I insta...

Not so-- The "Marlin Jam" is a reality and I would bet my Lorcin .380 on it. :D (I don't have any of that Lorcin junk) Anyway, on to business: I spend my life around leverguns and I have seen more than a few Marlins with that problem. I have also seen more with no problems. As for personal...

I got in late here on this subject. I have never been big on the 45 L. Colt. Elmer & Skeeter ruined me on the 44 Spl. Anyway, I only have 3 sixguns chambered for the grand ole 45 LONG Colt. #1 is a 1941 produced Colt New Service. Made for the New York State Police. http://www.hunt101.com/data/50...

El mac, Not everyone here has been around as long as Terry who really is a walking book of sixgun knowledge so let me humble myself and try to explain a little of the 44 Spl. And yes, take Terry's advice and read everything Elmer wrote. He gets $1.00 for every book written by Keith from the Keith Fo...

There is a lot of truth on the Colt. First, If someone was going to drop me in Alaska with one handgun and I had to live on it, it would be a Ruger NM. Colts 3rd gens. are expensive but when it comes time to sell, you get your money back if the time frame is several years or so. Won't do that with a...

Depends if they were pre 1952 or not. (as to value) The long forend (pre-52) is more desirable and a near new specimen might bring 6 but more likely 4-4.5 . Short forend (1952-1963) can be had around here for 3-4 in 95% or better. That will all change in the next couple of years as guys who can't af...

Yea, most of the time here for the camaderie. I have never bought a gun online but I have sold a few. I find it much easier to "wheel and deal" at gunshows. Here in Pa. there is a gunshow somewhere just about every weekend. And good gunshows like the Allentown, Harrisburg, York, Leesport, ...

Copy that Mr. 71. And the same to you and yours. Those people you saw knew the true meaning of life better than we do.

No quality problems from that era--just some final finishing and smoothness of the action is not as nice as previous SAA's. Cubrock is mighty close because if you look around you can find them NIB at about that price, but you did not mention: 1.) Are they NIB? 2.) If not, do they have the boxes? 3.)...

No, I don't like it. I have done enough long range shooting in my life to know there are too many variables that come into play at ranges past 400 yards, especially with a cold barrel and no bench rest.----------Sixgun

Is there enough room on the sites mainframe for all I have to list?

They sicken me terribly. The whole scene of Hollywood makes me want to vomit. I truly believe Hollywood is the ruination of our great country. Add to that the music videos with MTV in the lead.

Hey Kentdep, They don't make 'em anymore. Anytime you buy a quality out-of-print gun and take care of it, you won't loose any money.

If the gun was manufactured before 1968, there is no law that says you have to have a serial number on it. But at the same time, if a gun deliberately had it's numbers messed with, I do believe thats not a good thing. If you can still read it, even with a magnifying glass, leave it alone. If its a m...

Don't jump to conclusions. There is a possibility your receiver was factory or contemporary D&T for the Lyman 21 or 38 sight, in which case, its correct. But a correct coded "Climbin' Lyman will set you back about 4 C-notes. There should be NO holes going through the lettering on the upper ...
