QUESTION : I need to put a scope on a Winchester 94AE .357 carbine, and I am wondering what scope mount to get and where to get it. I've looked at bunches of these online, but I am not seeing one that specifically says: "This is for the Winchester 94AE, and you can't go wrong using it." H...

What does it mean to "slug the barrel"?

and

how does one go about doing that?

It is nice that they will take the gun back, but it sounds like their customer service is very poor and we're not talking about something inexpensive and essential that we're going to buy more of no matter what, such as toilet paper at $6 a package. We're talking about expensive hobby-related items ...

It is sad on many levels, not the least of which is that so many people think a wealth-flaunting talk show host is somehow a leader who can provide essentail wisdom to guide their lives. People really need to get out more, experience nature, be more in touch with this world that He has given us, and...

Boycotting McDonald's....? Does this mean that when I go there for lunch the line will not be out the door anymore and I might actually get to buy my lunch before having to get right back to work? I'm all for it. Boycott to your hearts' content. Get all your friends to boycott, too. Maybe the prices...

Thanks for explaining that to me!!! Great info and good pictures to illustrate the points. What a neat rifle! I'd like to someday get one of those to add to my stable of lever rifles.

thanks again.

ursavus.elemensis

That's avery nice-looking lever rifle!

I do have a question, though. I've always wondered where one holds that rifle. I know where the trigger hand goes, but what about the other hand? Do you sort of hold the frame of the receiver, or do you just go ahead and hold onto the mag tube?

Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but mine is that one general category is better for the forum's sense of community and easier to read than a forum broken into multiple different categories. I like it the way that it is.

Mike, you are getting some good advice here. I have a .357 Magnum Winchester 94AE Trapper that I got a month ago, and I really like it. As someone else said, however, I wouldnâ€™t want to leave my Winchesterâ€™s in the vehicle or let them get banged up. http://www.acslpa.org/pa_uniform_firearms_act....

I'm just saying that it happens, and really, there just isn't much you can do to come out of this satisfied, so you got to just chalk it up to life with the Internet and move on.

I see this kind of thing mentioned in the feedback comments of quite a few sellers. Often it happens to sellers who have lots and lots of otherwise good feedback. Seems lots of them sell the rifles in their stores and online at the same time. I've even seen a rifle or two that were for sale on GunBr...

Say what you want.

I agree that the title of this thread is offensive to many of us. The little joke about the boy and the pastor is one thing, but putting "humor" and "for those who died in the service" together in the title is offensive to me.

The Hunting Shack did have good prices on bulk (1,000 rounds) 357 in 125 grain FMJ and JHP, particularly the 125 grain FMJ. Their prices for 158 grain ammo was good, better than most anywhere else, but not as good as the 125 grain ammo listed above. However, they have recently, 03-12-08, taken down ...

This is a nice site, with many genuinely good folks, and lots of great advice about lots of stuff.

Following links allows one to find a lot of good food for thought on the Internet. I like this, for example: "What do the Christian Sixgunners Believe? ... They believe that the right to express one's ideas should not be repressed, even if those ideas are contrary to their own." Good stuff.

Quoting from this insightful website: http://www.chuckhawks.com/ammo_by_anonymous.htm "The shotgun is the ne plus ultra of manstoppers. No doubt you have heard a lot of nonsense about the lethality of "assault rifles" and "sub-machine guns" and the like. The fact is that the...

Ah,,,it is so nice when FACTS confront dogma, even if it is MY dogma. National Forests are run by the Agriculture Department, not by the Nazi Park Service of the Interior Department. The Forest Service does allow private citizens to carry HANDGUNS on Forest Service land.

Right on, Ironsights, right on. Whether it is the Bible or natural laws of man, it is those who oppose liberty and use the power of their government posts to suppress others that most worry me, and most offend Him.

It is illegal to carry a gun on NPS land, except in cases where hunting rifles are carried for legal hunting. Carrying a HANDGUN on NPS land is illegal. The Nazi Park Service prohibits citizens from carrying guns on NPS land. Remember when National Park land was OUR land? No, me neither. It is and a...

Your department actually NEEDS 30,000 rounds of duty ammo? Wow !!!!\

Let's assume for a second that you are putting 60 rounds of duty ammo into each gun, spare mag, etc. That would mean you have 500 officers. All I can say is WOW !

I wonder what the Henry people were thinking when they decided to bring out their .30-30 at the same time that Mossberg is bringing this one out, and when the Winchester/FNH folks are rumored to be bringing back the model 94.

Thanks for the great info. I am not sure of the bullet lengths.

It is top eject, right?
Can you mount a scope on it anyway? And, if so, how high up does the scope need to be (what size rings)? Looks like it has "scope bridges" for a scope, but it is top eject???

Polycarbonate lenses make it hard to read because the light refracts so many times going through the various layers. Safer than regular plastic for shooting? Sure. But don't count on reading anything.
