Someone mentioned rifles that had been re-done. I like to collect Win 94's in the 1935 to 1951 time frame, but sometimes I see some that are in just a little bit too good of condition to not have been re-done. I always pass on those. If the stock is too shiny/glossy, and the metal a bit too blue, I ...

Yeah, the name/advertising thing bugs a lot of people and probably costs them more sales than it gains them, though their accountant may wish to argue that point. Names are interesting things these days. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Colt firearms company is basically gone with the name living on...

What kind of range do you get with a 357 lever rifle? Is this a 50 yard rifle, 100 yard rifle, more, less? With my .44 lever rifle, if I sight in the scope at 50 yards, the bullet drops so much by 100 yards that the bullet hits the dirt ground beneath the target stand, and the drop off is worse with...

Oh yeah, the thing about going into the woods with the brass receiver...I got to comment on that: Now, don't get me wrong, I like my Henry .44 Mag lever rifle, and I take it to the range a lot. However, nothing's more ridiculous looking than the picture of the simulated hunter posing with his brass ...

I've got a Henry Big Boy .44 Mag lever rifle. It is my "main shooting rifle" that i take to the range. My Winchester model 94's are my "collection rifles" which I shoot only rarely because, a.) they're "collectible", and b.) With my vision, I can't see through the iron ...

I never meant to say that a .22 WRFM isn't worth getting, I've got a couple, but... Your initial post implies a substitute not an addendum. I would never want to stop somebody from getting an ADDITIONAL gun for the experience. What's this about the "bang". Recoil? Thanks for your advice, ...

OK, well, I am really giving this a lot of thought. I am probably going to get into reloading .44's, but... I am thinking of getting another lever rifle anyway. The aim would be for shooting a less-expensive factory loaded round. I am narrowing this down to: ------ Winchester 9422 Magnum ------ Henr...

I have a .44 Mag/.44 Spl lever rifle, and I usually shoot .44 SPecial through it. Prices of ammo are ridiculous. In another thread, I have asked for some advice regarding reloading .44 ammo, but I am also considering getting a rifle that's less expensive to fire. The ultimate, of course, would be a ...

I have a .44 Mag/.44 Spl lever rifle, and I usually shoot .44 SPecial through it. Prices of ammo are ridiculous. I can find some PCI ammo, for about $20 per 50 rounds (I think it is reloaded), but most of the ammo I find is about $27-$31 per 50 rounds. That's more than 50 cents every time I pull the...

I am thinking of getting either one of the model 94AE's available via the auction websites, or one of the new Mossberg .30-30 AE lever rifles. Point of buying it would be to scope it and then use it for target practice. However, I am wondering what these things look like once a scope is mounted, and...

Proofs in the pudding! :wink: Ah, and there's the rub... You know, plenty of people go out and drink a lot and then drive home, get there safely and do it all again the next day. Sometimes things work out, but those are instances of luck, not evidence of a sound plan which was well-executed. "...

ursavus.elemensis

I think people get too wrapped up in the pursuit of "a good deal". Unless these rifles are dropping out of thin air into your backyard, you might want to grab one when you see what you like. Are they priced too high? Who cares. If you can get it for less money, sure, go do so, but if you c...

I don't like that stuff. Little guns which are hard to shoot accurately and which have limited knock down power are not a reliable mode of self defense.

I would have thought that higher ups on the inside of the firearms industry would know what is going on at other companies, but maybe not.

I'm not saying that you should want to buy one or not, but the Henry rifles are made in the U.S.A., sold in the U.S.A., and used in the U.S.A. and they do not have a safety switch/knob/button/lever. They don't have a user-selectable safety. Hence, it IS possible for a manufacturer to make and sell a...

As I mentioned earlier, the Henry Repeating Arms Co. lever rifles do not have a cross bolt safety or a tang safety. They may incorporate other features that help to prevent accidental discharge, but if the lever is cocked, and the chamber has a loaded round, pulling the trigger will make ht erifle f...

I've got my eye on the new Henry .30-30 lever rifles, and I think you can get the blued steel round barrel ones from a gun shop for about $500 out the door once they are available in March or April. The list price is way above what a gun shop would ever charge you. Anyway, can you guys provide some ...

ursavus.elemensis

People say that the safety is required by the lawyers, but I don't understand that. I own a Henry Repeating Arms Co. .44 Mag lever rifle, and as far as I can tell, it does not have a safety. Maybe there's something integral to the design that I do not know about that functions in some way as a safet...

I have heard that those gun "socks" draw the protectant oil/silicone off the firearm and into the fibrers of the sock, leaving the firearm unprotected. I also think that if you see the rifle in your safe, and you see it every time you open the door, you can make sure it is still well oiled...

That is an interesting thought. I've got two BB rifles displayed on my bedroom wall. I use the Hoppes brass wall hooks, and man are they a pain in the butt to get mounted properly.

My understanding is that the UK went to gun control right after WW2 because they were afraid that all the well-trained and well-armed military folks coming back from the war would overthrow the government.
