Cool tool Stan. Welcome

Nate Kiowa Jones

I can remember back in the early 60's when I was young (wait-a-minute i'm still young) and still live at home. We lived in the counrty and there was no stock laws so there were lots of free ranging hog, wild true but many had ear marks for ownership. Anyway, one day while out with my dad we came up ...

Nate Kiowa Jones

Can anyone recommend a grip maker or manufacturer who will make a custom color of laminate grips? I am looking for a set for my S&W 60. Something like this? http://www.hogueinc.com/getgrip/prodimg/19422XL.jpg Or this? http://www.hogueinc.com/getgrip/prodimg/19412L.jpg These are from the hogue s...

Wonderful congrats to you and mom.

Nate Kiowa Jones

Looks very nice Steve! I think that recoil pad would come in handy. Mine has a hard rubber/plastic pad/plate. Probably going to hurt! :shock: This ones setup for the CAS guy. The shortened stock and negative angle pad helps keep it on the should when working the lever. Can the Chicom 1887s be rebar...

Nate Kiowa Jones

Mine didn't look as good as yours when I got it. Plus, it was a single shot. Whoever rebarreled it never got the timing right to make it function. Once I got it running right I refinished it.

Nate Kiowa Jones

Thanks for posting those pictures, Steve. There are only two positions on the hammer, half cock and full cock.. maybe a replacement? Yeah, nice job of plugging the hole.. sure fooled me! This rifle really groups tightly at 65 yds, most clip the same hole. Action is much tighter than my Rossi Pumas....

Nate Kiowa Jones

If they do make it I bet it will be made on the 32 H&R that they recently dropped. No loading gate, tube loaded. This time lets hope they make it as a round barrel carbine. The 32 H&R with it's oct 20" and twin mag tubes was just too front heavy.

Nate Kiowa Jones

How does the Rossi differ mechanically from the Marlin? 357 versions The main difference is the rosi 92 is a stronger action than the marlin. Even stronger than the 336 marlin. You won't see a marlin in 454 casull. The Rossi 454's have been out a while now. Other than splitting stocks and jerking t...

Nate Kiowa Jones

I would say that if it still has the original markings it's probably a re-bore.
This one is a rebarrel.

But I recently had a 32-20 rebored to 357m. The 32 bore was bad.

Nate Kiowa Jones

Hi Les, Here's your gun. It's one of the Miruko made Wins that someone has converted. O Man, for awhile there i thought somebody slipped one by the liability lawyer there at winchester. That would be like a mis-stuck $5 gold piece. http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o203/NateKJ/Winchesterm92003.jpg ...

Oops, where's my manners. HOWDY! welcome to the fire. If you are a leverlover and a bit conservative you'll fit right in. If you are a leverlover and otherwise but thick skinned you will still fit right in.

Nate Kiowa Jones

I don't know of anyone that's making a stainless leveraction in 357m except Rossi. Most folks know them as the Puma but that's just the model designation for the Rossi's imported by Legacy Sports. I prefer the Rossi imported by EMF as their Hartford model. Mainly because it comes with better semi-bu...

It's a Rossi. Just like the Puma. :wink: I think the EMF is a little better. Up until about the mid 90's InterArms was the only importer of the Rossi 92 rifles but they are no longer in business. Currently, there are three importers of the Rossi 92 guns. EMF's Hartford, LSI's Puma, and (really limi...

Nate Kiowa Jones

That's too bad because the Canucks get some pretty appealing guns from "NORINCO" which can't come south of the border. A cheap 22 levergun at $198.00 Canadian perfect for behind your truck seat: http://www.marstar.ca/gf-norinco/images/JW-21-800px.jpg http://www.marstar.ca/gf-norinco/22-JW...

Did EMF ever offer one of those 92's in 38wcf (38-40 for the unwashed 8) )? I'm sort of on the hunt for a rifle in 38wcf, now just acquired ol Doc's emf bisley yesterday. :D Hi Don, The EMF is made by Rossi and they have never offered one in 38-40. Several years ago I ask about this and was told, n...

So the story goes, the factory that makes the IAC 1887 is NOT part of the Norinco military/industrial complex.

IAC is the US based importer.

IAC = Interstate Arms Corp of Billerica, MA Interarms was of Alexandria, VA and went OOB several years ago. Norinco has nothing to do with the 1887 shotgun, despite what internet posts, gunshow experts, gunshop commandos and magazine articles say. IAC buys the 1887 from a non-Norinco factory in Chi...

You guys do know that the spenser is now available. Even in a more modern cal. 44-40.

I have one on order for a customer complete with the sling, a set of 6 tubes and the Blakesleebox.

Thanks for the reply's, Nate and jdad. I agree with the krylon job, I just wanted to make sure. Nate: I researched the rifle and it seems as though the rifle is chambered in .32 winchester rimfire. I also found that the original rifles were sold with both a rimfire and a centerfire firing pin. One ...

Nate Kiowa Jones

It's hard to say from the pics but looking at the 6th one down it looks like it was painted with some kind of black paint. That takedown knob looks to be imbedded in the paint. All of the marlin 92's that I've seen were rust blued or belgian type blued. IIRC they were either 32S&W rimfire or 32 ...

Hi Joe, I got your email. First thought was everyone messes up sooner or later so I was kinda torn until you posted the guys respond about blaming the gun. Screw ups happen. Whatâ€™s important is how the screwer upper handles it. As for fixing it, if you send it back to Marlin for a barrel you wonâ€...

Nate Kiowa Jones

Steve............Thanks, but it is a 20" Short rifle, no barrel bands. That is more of a problem for sure. You may need to start with a new mag tube so the detent/notch for the hanger pin is fresh, do the longer plug screw and make some longer forend cap screws that will seat into the sides of...

Nate Kiowa Jones

You didn't mention the caliber but if it's the 44 cal 51 or even the 44 cal 1860 with brass frames you can expect the opentop style frame to stretch with anything but the mildest of charges. The 36 cal is better but will eventualy stretch if you use full loads. the better option in a brass frame CB ...

Sounds like a standard carbine right? If that's the case the cheap fix would be to turn the tube around and re-drill for the plug and fit to the band screws. If the plug screw isn't long enough to reach the bottom of the barrel you may need a longer one. Replacements are a stuff shoot as to whether ...

MIROKU! :wink: Miruko Win. or Miruko Browning? Quality of materials and workmanship MIROKU has been very consistent so the answer is both .
