TN laws are out of date.

I think I will go with the filling method. Maybe brass. I just wish the dovetails on the Puma's were a standard size. It is butt ugly with an empty dovetail and screw holes. Not to mention it looks like they hammered the original sight in with a maul.

Curiousgb

I have a 16inch Puma stainless 44mag. It came drilled and tapped for their scout mount. I want to have the holes and the dovetail filled. Can this be done without ruining the barrel?

Curiousgb

Very Cool! I look forward to seeing the adjustable.

[I wouldn't mind having another puma but the whole LSI thing has turned me off to them.] You would be doing yourself a favor to keep more current, as LSI is long gone - except as used rifles. In 2008 IIRC, a new company was formed by Rossi to produce/import the Model 92's - BrazTech Internationam, ...

I am hoping to pick up an 1894c in the morning. I wouldn't mind having another puma but the whole LSI thing has turned me off to them.

Yep and I hope there warranty service is better than LSI's.

I have a curmudgeon's outlook on this whole mess. When a seller asks an outlandish high price, that's optomism. When someone buys it, THAT'S gouging. Gouging can only occur with the acquiescense of the buyer, and that's who is at fault for the gouging occuring. If all you fellers would quit paying ...

Curiousgb

This is all absurd and really upsets me. The NRA and my fellow gun owners have created this mess (when in worry, when in doubt, run in circles scream and shout). I am at the point were I am just going to have to stop shooting until sanity returns, if it ever does. Does anyone think this mess worries...

Curiousgb

I like the puma's but I love my SS. I was at the range sighting in my XS sight on my Marlin on Friday. It amazes me how accurate the Marlin is, and you can load it from mild to wild.

Curiousgb

Thanks for #6.

While my wife was deployed we used web cams to communicate. Don't know how we would have made it for 2.5 years without them.

This is great stuff!!!

A certain lieutenant colonel at Luke AFB deserves a big pat on the back. Apparently, an ...

Man that just sucks. I have been looking for job for quite a while. I haven't been with out a job for this long in almost 30 years. It is getting crazy out there, keep your powder dry.

That is just plain cruel.

Another Yote Killer that uses a 45-70. It does a number on them. I got this one while deer hunting last year in SC. I heard him in the woods and got out of my stand and went looking for him. I remember the awe sh## look on his face when he spotted me. Too late. http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll7...

Anyone have a m92 with the XS? I finally have my 44 back and want to change the sights. I have a tang sight and a receiver sight standing by but don't want to start drilling and tapping just yet. I have a tang sight on my 45lc with 24" octagon barrel and it looks and works great. But it looks a...

I wouldn't count on LSI for anything. Hopefully their new "Italian" made Puma's will be better. Doesn't really matter to me. I still won't buy one, just the principle of the whole fiasco.

Curiousgb

AJ, I don't remember what thread it was, maybe my own on "no more 454 Pumas" but someone indicated he had been waiting for 8 months to get his Puma back from Legacy and they finally confessed that they did not have any spare parts! So they are providing him with a new Chiapa Puma instead....

Curiousgb

Well it took 8 months. A lot of phone calls and one really upset off customer but I have a Puma 44 mag back in my possession. It is a new one as LSI finally conceded that they couldn't get parts and would have to replace the original. I slugged the bore and it is the correct size. I really hope it s...

Curiousgb

Nate,

What type of bead blasting medium do you use. I FINALLY got my 44 back and I want to blast it. Plus it gives me the excuse to by some blasting equipment.

But Honey, I needed it?!?

Curiousgb

As most know already, the Pumas will now be built by Chiappa of Italy. They have a couple of .45/70 1886 Winchester replicas. A Model 92 replica Chuck Connors Commemortive, .44 WCF, big loop, and the little flapper to fire the gun each time the lever is closed. A "Bounty Hunter", similar ...

Curiousgb

I have had a Puma waiting repairs at LSI's repair facility for 8 months. They strung me along with "waiting parts" then the news that they can't get parts because Rossi/Taurus aren't going to make Puma's for LSI anymore. So they Finally say they will replace it. Well that was a month ago. ...

Curiousgb

Sounds like you have a good Puma. I am waiting on a replacement for my Puma. After seven months LSI finally has admitted they can't get parts, so they are going to replace it. I have a box of the laser cast bullets, but they would go through the target sideways. Are you getting any leading with the ...

Curiousgb

Maybe this is why they (LSI) can't get a barrel to repair my 44 mag Puma.

Curiousgb

Until LSI gets there stuff together I would stay far away from there 44mags. LSI's guns are made by Rossi and according to Nate Kiowa Jones/Steve Young (our resident expert on the firearm) Rossi has the bores right, now. That may be true now. But I purchased mine in Feb and it has been at LSI's rep...

You reap what you sow. I pay cash for my vehicles and I would rather have a root canal than buy a car. I know what I want to pay before I walk on the lot. I hate the games. The last vehicle I bought I told the salesman (I had pen in hand) that it was between him and another dealer. Showed him the #'...

Curiousgb

Don't send it in for repair. Mine has been at Sports World since the first of May. I called today and was told they are still waiting on a barrel. Something about new import rules. I think I will be calling LSI soon to put in a WTF.

Curiousgb

Well it is now week 7. I called Sports World and was told it has changed from no status to awaiting parts. So it is a good news bad news thing. Good because it sounds like they are going to change the barrel bad because I will probably have my house sold and moved to Memphis before they find a barre...

Scary how accurate they are. With scope mine will shoot an honest inch 3 shot group at 100yrds. Only problem is that it beats the snot out of me. I am experimenting with different powders to reduce felt recoil.

I would post pics but my wife has my camera in Gitmo. Tell her to watch out what she is taking pictures of around GITMO. We dont need anything else leaking out to the press. :shock: Don't worry about that. She is Military Police and in charge of Base Security. He motto is "NO DRAMA." But ...

Curiousgb

Thanks, I have just did a thorough cleaning, and I can say with some certainty this gun was never shot. I will be putting in an order for bullets brass and dies shortly. I am not big on scoping Levers but I have a nice Leupold VX-II 1x4 that would fit nicely on this rifle.

Curiousgb

Whoops I did it again! I swear I wasn't going to go to the gun show. But the real estate agents kept wanting to show my house (which is a good thing) so I had to find someplace to while away the time...... Well this Marlin caught my eye. Model 336CS in 35rem. I have always wanted a 35rem. It wasn't ...

Got my video and misc parts today. Video is excellent. I had done everything I could think of to slick up the action, but Steve had a couple I hadn't thought of.

I am with JReed on this. It infuriates me when I see the boneheaded things a few dumba$$'s do, that sullies all the good work the majority of our military is doing in IRAQ. We absolutley have to hold ourselves to a higher standard.

Curiousgb

The only Henry I have shot was a 22. It is a well made rifle. I picked up a 357 in a gun store a while back. It made my 1895ss seem lite. And I would be scared to scratch that brass.

Curiousgb

Les,

3 weeks isn't bad. I bought a Rossi in 45lc a couple of weeks ago. It will keep me occupied until the 44 comes home.

Curiousgb

00 Supercharged Miata = 25mph
01 Honda Accord = 25-28
07 Honda Ridgleline = 18-21

We are thinking of trading the Accord for a hybrid but it would be hard to offset the cost of a new vehicle just for the milage.

Curiousgb

Well my Rossi arrived at the LSI repair center yesterday. I don't know what the turn around time will be. I just hope they fix the barrel. I sent a slug of the barrel that measured .4335".

Curiousgb

Great Looking rifle. I am also interesting in the sling.
