Yes, this Lee is no different -- gas check just at or below the bottom of the case neck. But there are no grease grooves hanging into the powder space so I don't think this causes any problem as long as the check is firmly held. The Hornady-type checks I use are very firmly held. Except for the grea...

Irascible

Gee I wish someone would make a 35 Rem mold with the gas check EVEN with the bottom of the neck. LEE, RCBS and NOE's clone of the RCBS all have the base of the bullet hanging out in the powder space. NOE's version of the RD bullet works, but is out of production. I tried designing my own on the Moun...

I've been trying to get hold of them, are they still around? Or are they out Elk Hunting?

Irascible

I agree with shooting it myself, but it's going to have to wait for a while. It's 9 degrees now and I'll want at least 40 before I go out and sit at the bench. Much to comfortable here by the woodstove. Good day for casting!

Irascible

We only got as far as stickingk a 30 caliber bullet into the muzzle. Only goes about 1/2 way. So, it is a 30 caliber. Need some warmer weather to go further.

Irascible

I never thought that in might be another caliber as it's marked 30-30. I doubt it's been rebored as it has the microgroove rifling. I cleaned it for him and could see no copper fouling problem. I'll call him later and tell him to try a 30-30 in the muzzle
Thanks for your answers

Irascible

A friend was over Saturday with a 1970s era 336 carbine in 30-30. He was complaining that his bullets were hitting the target sideways. Even factory rounds! I pulled the bolt and had a look at the microgroove barrel and could see no problem, it was even clean. It seemed to have some slight rust in t...

Irascible

o.s.o.k. yes thats the lever. Just enough bigger than stock for a gloved hand, but without looking like John Wayne or The Rifleman. Not that I have anything against those heros.

Irascible

I tried to turn the necks on my brass. It is a little diffucult due to a straight taper case. I found you had to use a sizing die which left a straight case neck for bullet seating. Sizing in such a die will leave a straight section that can be turned.

Irascible

WELL, I just tried a smaller credit card purchase, against my better judgement, and that won't go through either!

Irascible

I have a Marlin 336 Cowboy that slugs at .378, A Browning 1885 at .375, a M94 SRC at .379 and a Ruger #1 at .3805. The M94 and the Ruger 1 are problems because they wont chamber rounds with the proper size cast bullets. I opened up the Ruger with a custom throating reamer, but I don't want to touch ...

Irascible

Has anybody purchased anything off the sight? I just went to order two followers and a lever and Paypal kicked it back saying, there was a problem with their email address.

Irascible

I will check. Thanks

Irascible

I have no use for the 21 "DA", But it has been re-blued. I didn't care about the re-blue as my '95 was also re-blued. I have a M64, but I'm happy with the receiver sight. So I guess the 21 "DA" is for sale. I don't know what it's worth though. At $200 I obviously paid too much mo...

Irascible

It is stamped "DA" on the inside. The outside has the running deer emblem and "Lyman's Pat June 25.1895" Also interesting, the front mounting hole is not counterbored like pictures I see of the 21. it has a slightly elongated hole that is completely flat on the outside and reliev...

Irascible

I recently bought a Lyman 21 "Climin Lyman" receiver sight on Ebay. I needed a front screw and someone here suggested Joe at www.aperturesnmore.com Joe made the screw for me at a very reasonable $8 shipped. Thanks to whoever suggested that. However, I went to install the sight and the aper...

Irascible

Any of the Marlin CL (classics) they are light and came in 218 Bee, 25-20 and 32-20 and with cast bullets would cause no pelt damage nor torn up meat! All would be would be wonderful for your needs, unless you came between a sow Bear and her cubs! Marlin also made Cowboy versions in 32 H&R and 3...

Irascible

Sorry, mine must be an older version. The rear hole on mine is only a single hole. Whichever, they still work well and look "proper".

Irascible

I think that bulldog's sight is the one with the interchangeable posts. The elongated rear hole and the knurled locking nut are the clues. The one without the interchangeable posts will save you money and is good for any distance you'll be shooting a '73 at.

Irascible

I put a Marbles std (no interchangeable post) on mine it works fineand it has elevation and windage adjustments. It came with the wrong thread on the long screw and I had to call them for another. It came no charge.

Irascible

I came across am original Lyman 21 sight for my original 1895. I don't think the front screw is correct. It is a flat head screw for a counter sunk hole, meaning the bottom side of the head is tapered. Does anyone have an idea what thread and what the head is supposed to look like? Or possibly if so...

Irascible

Yes it's trickleing in. Midway just filled my back order of 357 brass. They do have a lot of the less popular though 40-65, 38-55, 44 russian, etc

Irascible

Recently, I have noticed terrible burrs on flash holes of Winchester 44 special, Remington 44 magnum and Remington 357 brass. Not all. but some in each batch. These were tall enough that I felt them when they were struck by the knurled nut which holds the decapping pin. The 357 Rem brass was the wor...

Irascible

It is a slightly larger lever for use with gloved hands. Not as big as Wild Wests nor Brockmans.
Brownell's states they don't sell them anymore, but Midway still does.

Irascible

I want to order a DRC lever for my 1895 Cowboy 45-70. I see a couple of versions, both blue and stainless, for the straight grip guns. Which one is the proper blue version

Everybody seems to have the levers back ordered! Is there a problem with DRC?

Irascible

I know it's illegal to alter a serial number, but I would like to install a tang sight on my Win. M64. If I stamp the serial number in another location before I drill through the original is it then legal? I know, its a collector gun, I don't care. It will be more usefull to me with a tang sight. It...

Irascible

Thanks, that was my next go-to.

Irascible

Just wondering. Is Paco's Apache blue lube, available anywhere?

Irascible

Yup, more ammo. It looks like W-W is the only producer unless I make cases from 32-20. I have the remaining 51 cases from that last batch of R-P, but I don't see it listed anymore. I've been shooting handgun silhouette for a long time. Actually before there was an IHMSA which of course pre-dates the...

Thank-You

The Wilkes-Barre, PA IHMSA silhouette matches are now opened for NRA Cowboy levergun silhouette, so I took my 20 year old Marlin 1894 CL in 25-20 out of the safe and went to a Silhouette match. I only took 30 rounds which were loaded in 1998. Just wanted to see what it was like. Lot of fun! I hit 23...

Irascible

I heard that a poster called 35 Remington had done quite a lot of work with cast bullets in the 25-20 cartridge. Can anybody lead me to his post? I'm not sure if he is here or on another websight. Thanks in advance.

Irascible

Anybody know what is going on there? I went on the web sight to place an order and there are indications that something is wrong. There's talk about cleaning up some mess!

Irascible

I had a very inaccurate 6", M29-2 in nickle. It is now a very accurate gun. I had it MagNaPorted and while it was there they cut an 11 degree forcing cone and an 11 degree crown. Muzzle lift was lessoned, but recoil is the same. I have a M19 4" which always shot too high. MagNaPorted broug...

Irascible

I have one of the 1895 Cowboys - great gun and accurate with cast. I shortened the barrel to 24" and installed a Pachmyr decelerator "sporting Clays" pad for a quick, unsnagged trip to my shoulder. I mounted a Williams receiver sight and a fiber optic front bead. It is light and a ful...

I have more! Even one called "Gringo Chile" for children, woman and the faint of heart. Let me know if you'd like them.

Irascible

Something else to consider, talk to the fellow making the conversion. You need to specify, or at least know what chamber length he is chambering for. There has only been one factory length chamber of 2.120 (plus or minus). The W-W brass is 2.080 which is short for factory chambers. Starline now make...

Having a few 38-55s I would advise using a .375 barrel as in the 375 Winchester. Most moulds and jacketed bullets are for the 375 bore. I have Lyman, LBT and Redding and Saeco moulds. My absolute favorite and very accurate bullet is the RCBS 250gr GC. My most accurate non GC bullet is the LBT LFN. T...

I have the book on a CD as Paco sold them, but I hate reading long writings on the computer. Sooo, I though I would print out the whole book and put it in a loose leaf binder. Every time I try to print it out, it leaves off the word at the end of each sentence. I tried no border and many other thing...

Hmmm, less than the Caribou trip I already paid for. Maybe next time.

Thanks for the heads up. I heard about it a few weeks ago when they introduced Praire Fever, but the TV Guide only shows "TO BE ANNOUNCED" That's two new cowboy movies in a month! A new trend? OR, an old trend revived.
