I watch Kentucky Ballistics regularly, he's probably my favorite of several guntubers I follow. You can definitely see how his content has evolved from what his earliest were. Alot of fun to watch now, and educational to boot. He seems like a genuinely good guy. His collection of double rifles alone...

Grabagun is waaaay over MSRP on the new Rug-Lins. I'd have to double check but I'm almost certain MSRP on the 1895 SBL is $1299. Grabagun 👎🏻 Just trying to keep Marlin-itis alive. I have a couple online friends who have picked up new SBL and 1895 Trapper for MSRP and in a couple cases a bit less.

I used to be tough, but I got over it. The years between 45 and 55 are very dangerous for guys because they still feel tough and vigorous. They believe that they can just push through anything. They don't realize how the rush and stress of life has worn on them for the last 25 or 30 years. That tim...

a preacher could mine this topic! i was born in '45, [not THAT 45], recently had an EKG and blood work. my organs are OK and my heart is healthy. but this is no guaranty of anything. i am ready to drop dead every day, because that means i'll be WITH Jesus WHERE He is. which is WAY BETTER than being...

Jeez, I'm 45. Stories like this kinda give me the willies along with the fact that my dad who did not smoke or drink nor was he overweight had to have a double bypass when he was only 52.

Glad your pal is on the mend

Glad to hear the infamous fit and finish of the Rossi's may be a thing of the past. Most common complaint I have seen is sharpness of the loading port in the receiver and other surfaces/edges. My brother has one such specimen in 44mag. Aside from that it functions and shoots quite well.

I saw a utube of some guy that put a 600 on a Contender frame. Being a pistol there was no way you could hold on to it! Saw another video of what I believe was a 700 and a bunch of middle eastern guys couldn't hang onto in a rifle. 12ga slugs are more than enough for me ! I had a Marlin bolt gun, r...

RIDERED350r

I think that pattern is changing for the better. When they released the 1895 Trapper, it didn't take long and I was seeing other friends online scoring them for MSRP and in a couple cases a little under MSRP.

Target Suite is another guntuber I follow. I like George, down to earth fellow. Well, he got a new 336 to review and it looks like Ruger has hit another one out of the park. Very attractive rifle.

I've given thought to the model 69. That's about as light weight of a 44 that I think I'd be willing to try.

RIDERED350r

Add me to the list of AA5744 fans for old cartridges. It is working great in my 45-60. I've also tried it in 45-70 as well as 45-90. Good low ES and SD. I have not used fillers of any kind with it.

RIDERED350r

As far as ease of carry, I don't find my 4" 29-2 to be burdensome. Definitely not a t-shirt concealable piece but it doesn't ride overly heavy on a descent gun belt in a forward canted two slot holster.

We had Netflix streaming back when it was good. But I got rid of that several years ago. Aside from my internet bill which I would have regardless, my TV and movies cost us $10/month for the VPN service and 17$/quarter for the debrid service that I use. The debrid service.is well worth it as it prov...

With what little experience I have had, I have noticed over the years that practicing with light ammo and then shooting the heavy stuff for hunting, self-defense etc. is no way a detriment. Whenever I have had to use a handgun in a stressful situation I did not notice the noise or the recoil. Nearl...

I own a S&W 29-2 4", a 629 Classic 6.5", and a 460V 5". The most unpleasant revolver I've ever fired was none of those. That title goes to a current production model 60 my brother has at one time. I tried it with a couple 357 and it's was the sharpest recoiling thing I've ever fir...

I don't know if y'all watch many guntubers, but there are a handful of them I like and follow. Buffalo is a good guy and a pretty highly experienced wheelgunner. Definitely not a dum-dum. The 329PD is nothing new, but I've always thought it would not be any fun to shoot. Buffalo got a hold of one an...

Wow, 62% in favor! :D I do agree I wouldn't want 20 or so subforums, but adding "reloading" would be great for quick reference in the future. I actually found this forum looking for information to reload the .45-120 Sharps cartridge (and KirkD's info was AWESOME). Pretty certain my hunt f...

I voted yes and agree with the above sentiments of having a reloading subforum so things don't get lost among all of the general content. I reload for three cartridges that are very uncommon these days. A forum similar to this one has helped me a great deal in load development for my 45-60. Plan to ...

I have three 45 Colt rifles. Henry Big Boy, 20" Winchester Miroku 1892 Short Rifle, 20" Winchester 94 Trapper, 16" I've worked up all three using Hornady 11th Ruger/TC data. The load consists of the Hornady 250gr XTP pushed by AA#9. I don't see a lot of difference in velocity between ...

We are living under a banana republic type regime currently. This is what they do because he is the first serious threat to the establishment in a generation, likely more. This will either destroy him or make him unstoppable, nothing in between.

Rube, nice rifle and video! I found a Browning 1886 Saddle ring carbine a couple of years ago. I have it set up with a padded buttcuff similar to Veeman's because that steel butt is a little rough shooting from the bench. Very well made. Thanks for sharing, JBowen Nice, those carbines are pretty ni...

It's been clunky like that for me as well. I haven't figured out the exact sequence but putting my email address in (even though I've already signed up in the past) seems to jog the data loose and it populates. I can never remember if I should put the email in before putting in the cartridge and pow...

Pistol calibers tend to reach their peak velocity at 16" or very close to it, nothing to gain performance wise I believe by going longer. http://www.ballisticsbytheinch.com/357mag.html How a longer rifle feels and how you shoot it, is all subjective. Agree on this. I have three 45 Colt chamber...

RIDERED350r

When I first joined this forum, I learned that a member at the time was one of the folks associated with developing the .375 Winchester. They chambered it both Winchester 94 and Marlin 336. As I understand it the Marlin gave up the ghost a few rounds before the Winchester did. Both as I recall suff...

RIDERED350r

Also a interesting point pertaining to more modern Winchester 94s specifically.... You can currently buy a brand new Miroku 94 chambered in 450 Marlin that does not have the Big Bore fattened reciever. That's running Marlin lever action 45-70 pressure and is a much more overall energetic cartridge t...

RIDERED350r

I have a 94 Big Bore 375 made in appx 1980. I love it. The 307, 356, and 375 Wins are high pressure cartridges. In the range of 50k psi. Marlin did at one time offer the 336 in 375 and 356 Win but they didn't do them for very long. Also I have heard of some smiths offering the service of converting ...

Holy cow Sixgun!! That's terrible across the board! Glad you weren't permanently injured Did you figure out what happened to cause the failure? Believe it or not, she fired it a second time, there's a video of her second shot on my channel. And she still bugs me about shooting it more 🤣 . She has a ...

I hope I didn't come across as chest thumping as that was not my purpose. Just sharing a load that shot extremely well for me 🙂. That said, I don't find those loads particularly punishing from my Henry that tips the scales at a pretty lightweight 7lbs. The wide carbine buttplate I think helps spread...

RIDERED350r

Any time. As I said earlier in this thread, using a barely seated FTX in an empty case, I determined my 1886 chamber had lots of breathing room to allow the use of those bullets on standard length cases. And I do recall they shot very tight from my '86 but I don't recall which powder I used. I think...

Thanks yall. I am patiently waiting on my dies to get here now. If I can find a box of factory ammo this weekend I will pick it up so I can shoot it. Anyone have any pet loads they want to share for the 45-70? Well, my 45-70 is a Henry and my pet load that I've had fantastic performance with is usi...

Congrats on a fine rifle Sir! About two years ago now I bought that exact rifle, a Miroku 1886 Takedown in 45-70 with a 26" octogon barrel. From what I've been able to determine they were made one year, 1999. Pointer about your reloads: using dummy rounds I found that my chamber had plenty of r...

RIDERED350r

I'm of the same sentiment as you folks toward the "modern" lever rifles. But, if it prevents some of the classics from getting hacked up and keeps the company in business offering the style we like, overall I approve

RIDERED350r

As 71’s disappear from the scene, the pickings are getting slim. I saw this trend in the 70’s when it came to 1886’s and 1873’s. 1894’s were all over the place and people would beat you down if there was a chip on the buttstock of a rifle made in first year production. This all means that if you ge...

RIDERED350r

Borrowing a page from Big Horn Armory's book perhaps? They say their model 89 and 90 are hybrid of 1892 and 1886. But I've looked at one in the flesh and it's looks are 100% 1886, just looks scaled down a pinch. Nothing about it looks like an 1892

Yep, that's a first for me too. An 1886 in 30-30. Interesting

She's a beauty Sixgun 🍻🙂. My 1886 is a modern Miroku built piece. One of the full size Takedowns made in 1999. I had Turnbull work it over and turned it into the rifle I've dreamed of owning for years. It was a 45-70 originally but it's now a 45-90. I play it safe with my smokeless loads, getting 23...

The TC saga saddens me going back a good few years. I have three old TC traditional muzzleloaders and miss the good old days when they had a dozen or so traditional models to choose from. No, they weren't historically correct, but they had solid traditional roots and were a good quality product. Now...
