Good reporting. Still dreaming of a highwall.

Oldncrusty

Good stuff. Thanks for the lessons.

Oldncrusty

That's one that still is on my bucket list. Congrats.

Oldncrusty

Extremely cool. "Go ahead punk..."

I snagged 5 boxes of CCI .22 WRF for my Rem. Model 12 today at a local flea market. Just checked online out of curiosity, and lo and behold, CCI is showing it in stock. Thought I'd let folks know.

Oldncrusty

Awesome thread. Thanks to all participants.

Oldncrusty

Kudos on the patience and persistence from another .308 fan. Nothin like fresh meat.

Oldncrusty

Dont know diddly about working on them yet, but I have a minty Savage 1914, a Marlin 20a, and a Rem 12CS. Still havent found a good deal on a Winchester.

Oldncrusty

Nice work. Love them old pumps.

Oldncrusty

Extremely sharp. Congrats.

Oldncrusty

Good to see someone else's shooting. I'm waaaaay overdue for some fun.

Oldncrusty

Yum. Got me thinkin about squirrel fajitas.

For sure. Its gonna take a while to get it cleaned up. Someone did not believe in gun cleaning lol.

I'm still studying, but so far I think it's a 3rd model. The ser no is several thousand past the the number given by Bluebook as the start of hardened cylinders. Not sure if that is a reliable indicator or not.

Oldncrusty

Awesome stuff Pitchy. Thanks for the lessons.

Oldncrusty

I've had the .32 bug for a while and been craving a .32-20 in some form. This one will do nicely.. Early/ mid 1920s. 2 factory Winchester, and the rest are reloads for recycling

Oldncrusty

Thanks. Add ome more to the waiting list.

Oldncrusty

Howdy back and welcome from Ky.

Oldncrusty

Thanks for all the purty pics, and welcome from Ky.

Oldncrusty

Thanks ya'll. Good question and answer.

For sure. In my region it is accepted the the bow didnt show up till around 800 AD. A modern invention.

Oldncrusty

Good ole gun and good ole time.

Oldncrusty

Assuming you are confining your choices to leverguns, this is another plug for the best 2. Win 9422, and Marlin 1891, 92, 97, 39, an 39a.

Oldncrusty

DROOOOOOOOOOLL.
A grail gun for sure.

Oldncrusty

I read with interest Jason's post a couple weeks ago on his ROA. I had always "kinda" wanted one, but then saw the online prices. Ouch. Two days later I stop in a LPS, and here lies this thing. Talked him down to $650 otd. Picked it up today, and swung by my gunsmith to take it apart. He t...

Oldncrusty

Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Oldncrusty

Lucky you!!! Being able to shop in the KTP. I was able to spend an hour or two in there as a teenager on family vacation forty some years ago. I never got over it. Hope to take one more tour someday.

Oldncrusty

Love that web sucker. Looks like it'll do a much better job than mine, a tobacco stick stuck down the front framework.

Oldncrusty

I love happy endings.

Oldncrusty

Good for you. Enjoy. Cant wait to get the 73 out there.

Oldncrusty

I've had them put on my Large frame Vaqueros and a new model Blackhawk. I didn't have a New Model Vaquero until a couple of weeks ago, but the plan is to have that one changed as well. .44 Magnum Vaqueros https://i.imgur.com/Qii9SPc.jpg .40 S&W / 10mm Blackhawk https://i.imgur.com/VeF231e.jpg A...

Oldncrusty

Awesome. Still hoping to hold my first one.

YES

Oldncrusty

+1 on OldWins choices, but since you need to use that sniper scope, how about a 6.5/06? Or swap it for a short action? 6.5/.284, .358 Win, .220 Swift.

Oldncrusty

"That's enough out of you young man. Snuff it!"

Oldncrusty

I have done that with every one of my regular Blackhawks except for one which I replaced with a Bisley hammer. That was quite a bit more work. My Rugers all have superb trigger pulls, like 21/2 lb pulls with zero creep. They are a joy to shoot and perfect for bustin' steel gongs. Probably a bit lig...

Oldncrusty

These are hugely popular with the CAS crowd. Even to the point where they change the Colt style hammer on clones to one that matches the Ruger profile... It sure eases the stretch needed to shoot one-handed. Seems like cheatin' to me! I've done a fair amount of lurking over there. Could be where I ...

Oldncrusty

I bought some SBH hammers a while back hoping to do some R2ing. Got tired of not having the time, so I hit up my gunsmith. Picked em up today. Tickled pink. Waaaaay easier on my short thumbs. Grips next.

Oldncrusty

Wow. Didnt know Sears sold those. Congrats. I need one just like it. Well almost, I'm a 16 or 20 guy.

Oldncrusty

Good job there. Take a break! And thanks for reminding me to start cutting.

Oldncrusty

I think its gorgeous as is and rebluing would make it ugly. Another vote for relining or rebarreling.

Oldncrusty

Wow. Cant believe a shed laid there that long with all the squirrels around. Nice one. Waitin for a little cooler weather.

Oldncrusty

Looks like a tack driver from here. Interesting cartridge too.

Oldncrusty

I hadnt really been keeping up with the market. They probably aren't unicorns any llonger. Just sorta shocked to see one in my hick tiown. Looking fwd to a report on yours soon. Good luck.

Oldncrusty

My regular said it took him quite a while to get one. It's not for me, but still a wonderful toy (tool) to have.

Oldncrusty

I too have a standard pistol grip 30-30 20" from 1980 that I hope to Marauder, including a switch to a straight buttstock. I havent had time to see how feasible (costly) that would be. I also have a factory Texan from 1980 with the 18.5" barrel. The forearm is much slimmer than the old one...

Oldncrusty

Howdy back and welcome!

Oldncrusty

Looks like a fun project. Thanks for spreading the word on the lead.
