I can't find 375249

Maybe Sixgun will chime in here, he has a kitchen chemicals way to do it with oven cleaner. I used a comercial finish remover that was called "Finish Remover" oddly enough. I am about to try Stripease on a couple of stocks as well.

Keep us posted.

Which of these would be the correct front site for this rifle?

Blade site, Rocky Mountain?

Post site, casted one piece?

FatJackDurham

Looks like I over paid a little. Only other ones I can find sold for $360 - $375. A lot of .22 cal ones. Not so many 38 S&W. I'd say it was on the high side considering the condition, but auctions have a way making us overpay. I've been guilty a time or two myself :oops: Sigh..... Well, the goo...

FatJackDurham

Over paid? I don't think so, I'd love to have it for that. Very good find. Owen Yeah, like I said, I feel much better having shot it. Still, there is no question the 38 S&W stamp is hand done. On the 922 models, there is a roll stamp of the caliber. So, I wonder what the total story is for this...

FatJackDurham

I have one of those kicking around. My stevens isn't like that. Its an all one piece cast sight.

gun-parts.com has a picture of a similar sight for H & A.

FatJackDurham

Hmm. I have a Steven's Favorite. I'll see if I can fabricate the sights. On mine, its just a post front site and a triangular fixed rear sight.

FatJackDurham

sorry, i misread. I thought you said you had one.

FatJackDurham

JDad says he has an original. want to see what the correct sights should be, and see what I can do.

FatJackDurham

jdad wrote:You have a Model 938. Front sight is not original. If you're happy with it you did not pay too much. The only caliber rarer than yours was the 25WCF.

Thanks, Jdad, for that. I am much happier now I have shot it.

Can I see photos of yours and the correct sights?

FatJackDurham

I was just told on the ASSRA forum that the H&A was indeed available in 38 S&W, and was model number 938. Maybe it is legit.....

FatJackDurham

I was very pleased with the shoosting of the Hopkins & Allen I got. I took it to the range to shoot along side the 38 S&W LemonSqueezer I have. http://www.viciousbunny.net/images/HA38SW/01.JPG http://www.viciousbunny.net/images/Mine.jpg First, I shot the revolver at 25 yards to test the Remi...

My condolences.

It's only Pennies albeit a whole bunch of them. It is like a lot of the Guns that seem to bought on here,- "They don't make them anymore". What is that twist rate ? Looks pretty fast. That's the prob with Auctions, sometimes We get carried away but U will be OK. Perry heh. don't know the ...

I got it for a $375 plus fees. Out the door for $422. I wanted to get it for $275 bid, but a guy near me started the bidding. I think he shilled. I almost let him have it for $350, but I went one more and he stopped. I'll post pictures when I get home. Its a round barrel drop block lever single shot...

Obviously you realized this was not enough, since you shot on your own.

If you are honest, you will have to recognize that your military pistol training, like most of mine, falls far short of preparing you to be proficient in fighting with a pistol.

Okay! I give! Uncle!

FatJackDurham

Then reline. I like how well you blended the color on the stock.

FatJackDurham

What 7.62 said. I never advocated carrying a 1911 cocked and UNLOCKED. So Locked means Safed? Okay, I didn't know that. Thanks for the clarification. As I said in my post, I know the 1911 has a lot of safety features, and I like it. I still think for personal defense, a revolver is better. I don't ...

FatJackDurham

What do you mean lower the stock and how does that help not shoot high?

Also, how did you lower the stock?

And yes, very nice.

FatJackDurham

What was the range to target?
Have you cast the muzzle to see if cutting back to good rifling would be possible?

Otherwise, I guess a reline is need.

Nice looking though.

FatJackDurham

Mr. Murphy your post was thrilling and amusing. But I stand by my concerns. Most americans are not ex military or ex police. Most are not going to have years of training and muscle memory to correctly draw an automatic during a moment of crisis, panic, confusion or fear. Keeping an automatic chamber...

FatJackDurham

Tycer, you are from Asheville, the San Francisco of the South. What exactly do find weird about that picture?

FatJackDurham

My vote for personal defence is a 38/357 S&W hammerless DA revolver over a semi automatic. 1) The lethality of the .357 magnum round is as good as any other, and lethality depends more on the shooter 2) A hammerless revolver or internal hammer automatic is less likely to get snagged being drawn ...

FatJackDurham

Why dont you post a few pictures and point out some of the things you want fixed or new features you want added?

FatJackDurham

I wonder why only the last one fails to load? Does the shape of the rim of the cartridge push up under the lifter when there is still something in the magazine still?Or if the pressure against that little thing that blocks the next round from following in helps the lifter rise? If its consistantly t...

I had an unsat experience trying to by a Marlin ladder sight from SEI. The deal just never completed. After 4 months, he never notified me the part was ready, so I left it alone.

He certainly seems to have attracted some negative attention.

FatJackDurham

Yeah, I always listened to my car stereo too loud, and used weed wackers and powertools without muffs. Now I have a ringing in my ears, and each ear had certain dead frequencies, so my directional hearing is messed up, and I have a hard time hearing what people are saying in crowds. I wish I had bee...

Add is posted in the Classified section. Someone let me know if the classified isn't proper for the rules.

FatJackDurham

Okay.

I'd really don't think I want to deal with the vagarities of the gun broker sites yet. I'll list it here for $650. Forum rate. That way, any of you can buy it and still be under value including shipping. I have certainly learned enough here to give a discount.

FatJackDurham

Well, it's not a guide gun, it's the octogon barrel with the full length magazine. I'll post it in the classified here, marlin owners, and cast bullets and see if I get any bites. If not, I'll sell to the gun store. I payed $800 for it, I'd like to at least get $650 back. It's a JM, too, not a Remli...

I'd like to try to sell my Marlin 1895 45-70. THe local gun store will only pay $475, of course, and I want to try to get the most for it. I have never sold a gun online. Can someone tell me how it works? I don't have an FFL, so I assume I will have to ship it to a FFL if it sells out of state. What...

FatJackDurham

Small point of fact. The British navy didn't beat the Spanish armada. Weather did the job nicely. I imagine had the entire armada faced the British, both at full strength, the story would have been much different. British navy folks always seem to forget this little point. Well, yeah, they're Briti...

I went to an antique rifle dealer and collector to consult on how to restore my RB No. 5, and I saw two really neat rifles in his shop. One was an Ethan Allen Drop Block in .32 rimfire. the other was an astonishing Triplett and Scott Civil War Repeating Rifle. I didn't take pictures of my own, so I ...

I picked up this roller for a song at an auction and bought the missing parts from Ken Womack, to put it back to authentic condition. Now that I have test fired it and determined it has potential with the existing barrel, I have decided on the parameters for a restoration project. http://www.vicious...

The higher end load uses some compression, though I dont want to try that until I sort out the case resizing.

There aren't any markings on this rifle that would help me identify the army it belonged to.

As i said, it is just humor. In fact, in Bosnia, when the Serbs went around intimidating the Peacekeepers into surrendering, there was a French soldier who was surrounded by Serbs while getting water or something. The Serbs demanded he surrender and get his outpost to surrender. The Frenchman, calle...

FatJackDurham

Take heart, it's no simple task to start from scratch and find an accurate load. Yep. I'll work it in. My big limitation is that I don't cast my own yet. In fact, Montana Bullet Works is the only place online I found that casts 7mm, so my options are limited. Also, I am trying to avoid spending too...

FatJackDurham

IRRC the screw size that fastens the rear sight onto the barrel of your roller are 8-32 or 10-32... after you determine what size they are take a Weaver base for a 336 Marlin, drill out & counter bore one of the holes to take a socket head screw so it sits flush... \ OH!!!! Fantastic!!!!! What ...

Mine is a military M1910, made between 1912 and 1916. Bore is fair, I'd say. Stong rifling but dark in the grooves. I have cleaned it down to the metal as far as I can tell. It picks up copper fouling from the jacketed rounds, but I shot my best group yesterday with rounds 40 - 46. Today, it shot be...

I went to the range again today, this time with four .284 rounds, and four .287 to compare at 100 yards. First, let me say, I am certain my marksmanship is the primary factor. The sights are darn hard to see. I am thinking of taking them off, filling the round edges out and rust bluing them in a rou...

So, with my 7mm RB No. 5, everyone knows you have to be careful of the headspace, right? Okay. So, but the third time I am reusing the brass, they are getting very hard to put in and out of the chamber with only a neck resize. So, if I get a full length resizer, is there a resizer that is headspace ...

FatJackDurham

I wondered that too. But if plate was hanging off, wouldn't the bullet tumble or fly off?

I thought maybe the target wasn't flush to the backing, and was dimpling in while the bullet was twisting through....

FatJackDurham

Good advice all around. I was going to polish the chamber a little. Maybe I'll try lapping the throat to take the roughness out.
