I cast in a shed or my garage when it gets cold and don't worry much about ventilation with my rcbs pot. It doesn't get hot enough to vaporize the lead. Seems normal drafts are enough. I always melt down wheel weights outside or any time I'm using gas that can get the lead hotter. I handle lead seve...

I have a Savage 99 in 308 that I really like but the bore is shot. The throat is a little more than .4" and worn in addition. I have played with it for a couple years but the best it will shoot is about 2" at 50 yards and that's not even consistent. I have gotten one hole 50 yard groups wi...

The so called bb or pellet guns today are very, very lethal as this tragic case illustrates. My son and I both have 440's. His is .22 and mine is .17. We did test in gallon milk jugs for the fun of it. My .17 with pointed pellets totally penetrated the first jug and just inside the second. My sons ....

Happy birthday and Semper Fi from the cheese head state

I handload Hornady 170 and three different cast bullets, many different powders, cast diameters, etc.... I played with my early 40's quite a bit and the best grouping I ever got was a box of factory Remington 170 cl. GO FIGURE.

Made in 1923. Probably refinished as it looks pretty nice. Bore is good.

Any body have n OLDER savage 99 in 30-30. How does it shoot cast bullets. What's one worth in decent condition?

because of the length of the 30-30 brass, a rechamber in either will not work

if you can get a new barrel and 223 brass, the whisper would be good

Perhaps it is a moa'er

I use a 94ae trapper in 44 magnum. I have a Bushnell Banner 1 x 4 with a circle rect. and it is awesome. I have it set at 1x walking in the woods and can EASILY follow critters running in the brush with it. Two years ago, I had a neck shot at 75 yards so I turned it to four and it was an easy shot. ...

I feel bad now. I used a handgun cartridge to bag my 200# plus buck two days ago in my puny 16" 94 trapper.. I was seriously undergunned. I should have used my Win 94 in 32 special or my Savage 99 in 308. I wasn't even using those heavy hardcast that will take down any game on the planet. No, I...

I have a 94ae trapper in 44 mag I picked up last summer. It did not eject so I ordered a new eject spring. After installing it, it ejected but still a little weak. I really like the rifle and got two buck with it last season. Great for walking the sides of the steep hills I hunt. Empties hang up in ...

Anybody rebored a 94 to the 35 x 30-30 round? I'm thinking about a cast bullet shooter.

Who can do the work?

Looking for any info I can get.

They recommend the epoxy because of the variety of barrel contours. It provides a perfect fit. You can coat your barrel with vasoline or an epoxy release and use the epoxy. It will fit perfect. Remove it after the epoxy is set up and trim off the excess. I have a Win 44 mag Trapper and think it's aw...

I took it apart today. The spring got bigger on one end and is very weak. It is the first time I had a 94 apart. I have a 94 in 32 winchester special my grandfather bought in the early 1940's. He bought it used. It is as good as new 70 years later. Don't learn much when a firearm never has any probl...

Thanks to answers on an earlier post I was able to determine my ejection problems on my 94 ae Trapper. The ejector is very worn. Exactly where it touches the cartridge case. Looks like almost a 1/16" step. The spring is also almost non existant. Two questions. Where can I get the parts as Numri...

I just picked up a 94 trapper in 44 mag. I really like it and shot it for the first time today. Sweet little gun with quite a punch. BUT It pulls the fired cases and releases them but does not throw them out. I have to tip the gun or pick them out. Any easy look fors or fixes? Worn ejector or possib...

Got my ears.

Tell me more about it. Where to get parts. How it's done.

I'm looking at my nice 16" trapper with the ugly wart in 44 mag I just got 2 weeks ago for $325.00 and thinking maybe I should upgrade. Then again, I'm also thinking of how many times I'll be slipping down the side of the ravines while deer hunting the bluff country of Buffalo County and thinki...

I am looking for a hammer extension for my 94 trapper. I read a review about uncle mikes being heavy and slowing lock time, affecting accuracy. Looking for input from you that use them. Are aluminum ones availabe? Is it an issue?

What should the length of pull be on a winchester 94 trapper. I bought one in 44 mag with a 16" barrel with a recoil pad installed on it. Still seems a little short. Am hoping it wasn't shortened.

What bullet were you using

Will a cast bullet in a 30-30 penetrate a deer from any angle? What is a good heave bullet and load for this?

I would like to use my 94 for walking the hills on our deer drives but broadside shots are pretty rare. Deer are usually angling away if not straight away.

I have a Savage 99E in 308 that I really like. I have a Bushnell 1 x 4 with circle recticle on it and I can follow a rabbit running in the woods with it. It has become my favorite woods gun. Took a nice ten pointer with it this last year. I would really like to do something with the trigger though. ...

I got a 99 308 in great shape fairly cheap $250 that shot just as good, 6" groups with the remington 180's I got with the rifle. I pulled the bullets and reset them to the max length that would go through the rotary mag. Groups shrunk to 2". After a dozen loads, I got some Hornady 180 roun...

There was a problem with Lil Gun but it was limited. A recall was issued in April of 2003 for I believe one lot that caused high preassure and heat. I use it and really like it.
