Welcome to the fire, Pardner - I hope you gave him at least his $51.50 back !

[What is THE best ]

A real sourdough patridge front sight, with the top rear corner cut at a 45-degree angle and having a brass/gold face at that spot (only), with the remainder of the blade blued.

IIRC, the M94 Classic had the "engraving" scrolls, but didn't have a case-colored receiver, with a choice of either a 20" or a 24" highly polished, blued octagon barrel. The M94 Antique, as pictured above, only came in one flavor - case-colored receiver, 20" round barrel Car...

U gonna smile ?

Pete44ru

Excellante'

Pete44ru

[Oh by the way, it is a .358.]

Oh, YEAH !

Now......Lets see the picture of the other side.

Pete44ru

Yep, Welcome to the club !

Pete44ru

[The tag did say Model 740 on it?]

R U sure ? What was on the rifle ?

MOSSBERG made a Marlin-lookalike levergun in .30-30 & .35 that was (IIRC) the Model 472.

The Mossberg trigger travels with the lever, ala Winchester 88 or BLR.

Pete44ru

Jason - Please check your mail - Maybe we can meet this afternoon/evening, in Scituate or Foster, so you can get the ammo you asked about.

Pete44ru

I KIN HEAR IT ! ! Kain't you ? It's jes' callin' out fer a vintage tang sight !

Pete44ru

Welcome to the fire, cementhead !

There's many gun clubs, here in RI - and a couple of municipal ranges, open to the public, too.

Alas, there's no emaill addy in your profile, so if you'd like, either email or PM me for details.

Pete44ru

Picky, picky, picky.

Pete44ru

OK, Here's the deal: I'll give , first-come first-served, (anyone) a box (or partial box) of factory ammunition for their gun - NO CHARGE ! I also have some once-fired brass, free also. The "catch" is: I'm not gonna ship anything - But I will have it all in my vehicle at both New England g...

I think any handgunner would appreciate this link.

Take a peek at this new Ruger .357 Blackhawk 50th Anniversary gun, that a gripmaker named Cary (from CA) made the grips for (he makes grips from all sorts of wood):

[I've got a 336 RC that became a BT somewhere along the way. (Bubba Trapper)]

336BT - I love it !

Pete44ru

[I guess they just have too much in the camo rifle.]

IMHO, pawnbrokers NEVER have too much in anything, since it's against their religion !

The onlyest way, I can see, is that it musta been either his or his BIL's personal rifle.

Pete44ru

Prolly the cops would direct vehicles, without chains on their wheels (for snow/ice traction), away from the high passes in Winter to prevent road-clogging accidents.

Pete44ru

[I don't think I would shoot at an animal that is silhouetted.] I think the nearest people in danger of catching a stray bullet - where they were above the Arctic Circle near the mouth of St James Bay - would be either the Russians, or maybe some Polar explorers. They were hunting with a remote, fly...

Pete44ru

Marlin ( I'm not sure about Winchester) recently stopped D/T-ing the left side of their lever action receivers for peeps, both as a cost-cutting masure, and due to a perception that most buyers mounted a scope anyway. The Williams Gunsight Co responded by making a second version of their peep for th...

Pete44ru

They told me 38 degrees & rain - Brrrrrr ! A couple in the party didn't even bring warm clothing, because it was early September.

[They're sooo cute, when they're little]

Pete44ru

Welcome to the fire, Marc ! Wow - What do you do with the slung rifles - jog forever? I've used clamp-on Q.D. swivels on my guns since the 1970's and have never had anything happen like your describing. However, I do keep the sling in a pocket or haversack almost all the time I'm hunting - only slin...

One of the fellas, at the Caribou camp my son went to in Canada, took this video of his partner's Caribou kill, etc.

Everyone in the party took two bulls - my freezer's packed !

Hobie, the onlyest thing cheap, here in New England (besides me) is LOBSTA !

Pete44ru

It's funny, the confusion some have about the ROA's - since they're marked .44, but are actually .45". I wonder why Ruger did that. I guess maybe a mental connection with the Civil War Colt .44 Army was desireable to them.

Pete44ru

I like the cartridge, but not the guns it's offered in.......... so far.

Too bad it can't be had (yet ?) in a BLR, as posted above, or (better yet) the Ruger 77RSI International/Mannlicher.

Pete44ru

You just might, given the crazy weather changes goin' on !

Pete44ru

[how big is the bore on a .44 cap&ball revolver?? ]

.457" balls are the correct fit for both my ROA & Pietta 1860 Army.

Pete44ru

I found those "flip off" Glo-Mitts to be too thin/cold in really freezing cold or a freezing rain, so I took a page from the Morris Glove Co. and cut a small slit (trimming the edges of the slit) in the mitten of my trigger hand, so's I could sneak that little bugger out for a second or tw...

[Magazines are over-rated]

Well.....................They have their place - the outhouse !

Pete44ru

[the barrel cost me 199.99 + shipping ] + $450 for the Encore = $650. :roll: My son's Pro Hunter cost him $850 (new) with the issue muzzleloader barrel. The .300WM fluted stainless barrel added another $300. :oops: When he came back from Canada last week, after taking two Caribou with it - I aked hi...

Pete44ru

By "reshape", I'm sure the fellas really mean for you to shape it to the original shape, but so it sticks up a little higher and "stops" the next cartridge in the mag.

Pete44ru

There's nothin', beats a well-mannered, purty lady ta have lunch with, IMHO !

Pete44ru

I give up - Is it that Marlin .375 ?

Pete44ru

No disrespect, Tycer but "gloves" aren't cold-weather mitts/mittens, no matter how much Thinsulate they have. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0005122920157a&type=product&cmCat=searchFeat&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&QueryText=mitten&N=48...

Pete44ru

Try workin' the LEVER harder, Jason !

Pete44ru

I dunno 'bout "worthy", but I would say "heavy" - at least my son's ProHunter is.
His can only shoot groups (shot by me) about 3X larger than my Ruger #1, sad to say - even though it cost $300 more, without his high-power variable Burris scope with the fancy trajectory reticle.

Pete44ru

[Back to the "take it apart" vs. "bore snake" debate eh?]

Naw - I am firmly of the opinion that boresnakes make a great re-enactor's belt.
Especially, if one is re-enacting "The Fernvlle Flasher", etc.

Pete44ru

The Marlin is easier to clean from the breech, than the Browning design, because it's very simple for a user to remove the lever pivot (1 screw) and wthdraw the bolt out rearward - thus saving the muzzle from any possible cleaning rod damage, over time. It's also easier(cheaper) to scope or peep w/o...

Pete44ru

Try a standard loop, with Winter mittens on, and ask again.

Pete44ru

[For those guessing that now that I've got a sight I'll be looking for a rifle, you're right.]

Wal - Thet at least gives ya a wider choice, then if'n you only had some ammo & was lookin' fer a gun ! (like some others I could name)

Pete44ru

[I got a strong Ford vs Chevy feeling out of it.]

When it was introduced in 1955, it was the first large (bigger than pocket pistol/.380/etc) DA auto, and there was a lot of pro/con back-and-forth in the shooting press in those days.
