Thank you all for the kind words. I know that many of you have been there and we all know it is never easy. She was not alone.

Without the internals and in the condition described, I'd offer no more than $100 for it. It might be worth more, but I wouldn't offer more. A complete gun in this area is going for $700+ depending on condition and chambering (the 1890s are specifically one thing or another, the other models are .22...

You know, we've said that nothing is OT meaning we've done away with the OT marker on topics. But, seriously, isn't this more suited to a PM? Really...

So, I went back to inspect the rifle and make the purchase. I will post up pictures as soon as time permits, but here is what I know - 1. The mag tube is loose and has rust right under the loading gate (opening) on the mag tube. 2. The front sight is loose, but easy fix. 3. The barrel has some rust...

Prayers said Joe!

You should have what you want to have.

Interestingly, I have a Texan that has an 18-something" barrel, sort of splitting the difference. If I got a Marauder, I'd want a .35...

I'd do it, can't hurt. Government already has my DNA (literally) but that may concern you the way some folks don't use their SSN on the 4473 as though the government won't know it is really them. I haven't because I'm cheap. There are DNA services that do more than just ethnicity, they actually comp...

Winchester's 30-30, Model 94 - The Rifle America Loves by Sam Fadala, Stackpole Books, copyright 1986, ISBN 0-8117-1905-7.

When in doubt use the ISBN.

Having the original box often makes it easier to sell. This is particularly true for major brands and the rarer pieces such as the .32-20 Marlins. People who toss or burn the boxes drive up prices for them somewhere down the road. I seldom buy a new gun, VERY seldom but do look for boxes although it...

Glad you came here. You'll like it. As I said elsewhere, remove the forearm and mag tube and look at the barrel near the receiver for the 2-digit date code.

Does the Kerro-Sun smell when it is working?

One has to learn to maintain them. Improper wick length can result in very smelly operation. I used one as the sole source of heat for one winter in the ROK and was fine but was burned out by one neighbor's incorrect operation of one.

Dittos. #1 10-22 magazines are everywhere now, not so for the AR-7 #2 the 10-22 accuracy and durability beat the AR7. #3 the 10-22 comes with its own bug out bag

Nov 22 for a individually made product produced in the guy's shop where your order went into a queue at Christmas time and you are upset. Now I understand wanting an update but some things still take some time to get. Working in a business in which a number of people have to put something together a...

A balmy 10.5°F in the Shenandoah this morning. Happy New Year to everyone!

WRITE him at the address to which you sent the check.

I stocked up pretty good with 22LR ammo BO (before Obama) when they were under $10.00 a brick of 500 so never felt the need to purchase anymore at current inflated prices. A few days ago I took my wife to her doctors appointment and in the same building is a gun shop. While she was seeing her docto...

Thanks for the info, I'll relay it. I hesitated to suggest just walking into a gun shop or just showing up at a range. It seems waaaay too many guys suddenly get a terminal case of testosterone poisoning (with attendant shutdown of brain function) when a woman asks about guns. Much advice from aver...

You guys might not like the idea or you might not. Card shower. Instead of the usual simpy stuff send him photos of guns, deer, hogs, etc. Grandkids and dogs too. Write him a short note about a hunt. That would lift me right out of a deep hole.

GunBlast.com has a report.

Done!

I am not all that experienced but based on what experience I have, inexpensive is not an adjective that goes with reliable or fun and flintlock.

2,000 huh?

RESURRECTION! After all these years I've come to some slightly different conclusions on the cartridge/rifle. #1, it would be on an older Winchester Model 94 and be a button mag rifle with a ROUND barrel of no more than 24". #2, A thin rubber pad would be ok but I would prefer the checkered stee...

Hornady discontinued 150 bullets and I think these were among them. Casting might be the only way to go at least until the ammunition situation somewhat stabilizes.

I have all 3. The max can equal the FACTORY .35 Rem and is easier to load as one doesn't need to lube the case for the carbide dies. The Max is really versatile using dawdling and quiet .38 Special loads to the .35 Rem equivalent. It is a favorite. http://shootingwithhobie.blogspot.com/2006/02/blog-...

Always have a pair and a spare. One is NONE, two is one... IF you are ever actually involved in a self-defense act involving your carry gun you WILL likely need another barring seizure of all your guns.

Glad to hear an update even if the news is not good. BUT it is good that you've seen a doctor and you're going to get fixed, or get the shoulder fixed...

Load over BP an crimp over the front band.

Well, that's what I do in the .45-75.

It was an improvement or change, not a fix. The current owners have discontinued the G2 version and are not, apparently, even providing parts at cost. Likely, if the bolts as is work in the receiver, as is, the only problem you might have is the hammer spring which might take a set after a lot of use.

Prayers said!

They seem to be a cult rifle now and often sell for $450+!

That was a dollar's worth for certain there Buck! Thanks.

Buffalo Bore pushes a 255 well over 2200 fps....is that safe to do? In MY experience it is doable with certain powders. Tim is pretty careful and gives velocities from real guns. Some guns are faster than others. I find that 2000-2100 fps is just fine for a 255 gr. and about all I want out of my Co...

I had a sudden desire to channel Terry, better leave.

I don't think there's much kick to worry about. It seems less than the .243 to me. If you use a starting load from the manual you should be just where you want to be.

If you search the forum you'll see this was addressed and that Sierra has made a statement and that all will be well. Yes, EPA started this, back during the Bush administration. Lead prices will likely rise and it will run on down the chain to shooters.

Any of you have a Remington model 241? I'm wanting one. They are the same action as the Browning 22 auto but have a longer, adult size stock. Amazes me how I have to go back in time so far to find what I think will be my favorite 22 auto. Don Yes. http://shootingwithhobie.blogspot.com/2012/03/remin...

Good to see you home. You WILL like that Browning 1886 SRC.

My first thought, too. Prayers up for them!

Changes in shipping regulations for imports have cut availability at the same time that the ammo producers are moving components into ammo production and new reloaders have come into the market in an effort to bypass ammo shortages. This demand vs supply drives up the cost. We are seeing powder supp...

Ever closer to the replicator.

I think that what would suit you is Lyman's #2 alloy. Rotometal's good folks with whom to deal but the prices might be beaten.

Wow. We live on a main thoroughfare. When we moved here about 27 years ago we looked forward to Halloween and got ready for the rush. Not one person came to the door. In all the years we've lived here not one person has come to our door on Halloween. We had some "vandalism" this year. I pu...

Not to comment on either CTD or other dealers but the ammo and firearms shortage is literally killing some gun stores. No product, no sales, no profit and no business.

Sounds like you shoulda broken out the wallet on #2...

My parents used to breed dogs (in their youth) and dad was a good ol farm boy. The family consensus was no on chicken bones or any other small sharp or brittle bones. Further, while many dogs will survive them, eventually there will be a problem. Not giving them such bones presents no problem, doing...
