We are not collectors, but caretakers. We must keep these great old guns in their original condition for the next generation of "caretakers". That way none of those bozos can reblue, refinish, rework a classic.

cowboykell

Deluxe would indicate checkered wood in my book.

cowboykell

I have to agree with Terry...what's the point? I guess we out grew " Show and Tell" in the 1st grade.

cowboykell

Rocky mountain rear, harpoon elevator, silver blade front, all original and correct for an 1881...$200.00 shipped.

cowboykell

Think what it will be worth in 10-20 years and all the enjoyment you will have shooting it all that time. BUY IT !!

cowboykell

I have one in an 1895 Marlin pistol-grip deluxe. I can shoot 40-82 in mine.

cowboykell

Marlin 336 30-30

cowboykell

Give the shot buffer a try, I think you'll like it a lot better than the COW.

cowboykell

I shoot an original in 45-75. I use Trail Boss, shoots great.

cowboykell

Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco.

cowboykell

Smokeless won't "bump up" a bullet, you need the "explosiveness" of black powder. Use the smaller bullet diameter that will chamber, back off 10% on your smokeless powder load and top off the powder charge with shotgun buffer powder. The powder acts like a gas check and shoots gr...

cowboykell

Another vote for the poly shot buffer. My experience is that it can add to the pressure causing more fps. Also makes undersized bullets shoot well in over sized bores.

Did you hear about the skirmish between Montana and North Dakota? Those MT boys were throwing sticks of dynamite across the border at the ND boys. The ND boys were lighting the fuse and throwing them back.

cowboykell

That's right, broke down and bought a modern manufactured rifle. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewIt ... =134583716

cowboykell

Can't say I've had a worst bullet, but one of the best is Woodleigh .412 300 gr. Weldcore round nose. Mushroom great and really knock an Eland off his feet !!

cowboykell

Sorry Mike - you're not going to find an octagon nickel steel barrel...no such thing on a 1895.

cowboykell

I wouldn't call a faced off barrel crowned !! That is why there are problems damaging the rifling...there is no crown.

cowboykell

All of my 1876 rifles with crescent buttplates have the trapdoor in them. I believe Pirkle in his '76 book states the same. Lots of "parts" guns out there.

cowboykell

Malamute is right. Marlin didn't use a magazine hanger.

cowboykell

Swiss or schuetzen butt plates mount above the bicep but not necessarily the crescent butt. Try that with a 45-70.

cowboykell

Rocky mountain rear, silver blade front, all original. $150.00 plus shipping and ins.

cowboykell

Buffalo Arms, Shiloh Rifle, Sagebrush Shooting Products...I bought mine from a vendor at a BPCR shoot.

cowboykell

I use the angle cut ceramic media in a Thumler's Tumbler to clean 45-90 cases that have been shot with black powder. Works great, even cleans the primer pockets. I think it will last forever. I tumble for about 3-4 hours and the brass comes out looking like new. If you shoot black powder, you'll nev...

cowboykell

Rim and base diameter differences just might be enough to cause extraction problems.

cowboykell

What bugs me is the screw or part they dropped behind the freezer and couldn't find it. "Oh yeah, all the parts are here."

cowboykell

You should try your hand at writing books for children.

cowboykell

Can't be a real ranch, I'm guessing it's one of those hobby farms. Definitely a reflection of the owner. What did Forrest say? "Stupid is as stupid does"

cowboykell

Smokeless powder will NOT bump up a bullet. Black powder has the "explosiveness" to bump up a bullet that smokeless doesn't. It is one of the main differences between the two powders. I have shot many .403 bullets through a .406 bore using several different smokeless powders and recovered ...

Smokeless powder will NOT bump up a bullet.

A miserable time to be a cow and a cowboy is in North Dakota right now. We were on the north edge of a 2 day blizzard, -40 wind chills, 3-10" of snow. Just got in from the hourly check of the calving pen, it's only -4 degrees, but we're keeping the ears from freezing off the newborns. I'd sure ...

cowboykell

Everything I know about shooting and rifles...I learned right here on Leverguns.com

cowboykell

What really amazes me is the weird personal problems that people post. My goldfish died, my cat has the runs, my wife left me, my girlfriend is pregnant, my gout is acting up..... That is what family, friends, and neighbors are for. What did folks do before the internet forums?

...or we can buy primers at yard sales next year for 1/2 price.

Heavier bullet causes increase in pressure causing increase in fps.

cowboykell

Someone one had a "John Deere" like that on Gunbroker. I'd want a Case-IH.

cowboykell

I had a Winder musket that I shot 22 LR in. Very accurate, traded it for a Rem #4 .

cowboykell

Heard on Fox News they want to raise the beer tax in Oregon by 1900%.

cowboykell

That is definitely a studio horse.

cowboykell

Down town Fargo, North Dakota. Call Pete at 701-241-4440

cowboykell

Hey Mike D. - who would have thought a 71 would become collectable?

cowboykell

The only thing that stopped me from roping a lot of things I shouldn't have.....a smart horse.

cowboykell

Rubber recoil pads were fitted at the factory and some were made by Pachmayr for Winchester.

cowboykell

I have pretty much quit setting up at gunshows. You spend two days chasing kids with sticky fingers and spilling pop on your table away, old guys saying " I had a gun like that years ago." and then probably selling the gun too cheap. Maybe one or two guys actually interested in your guns. ...

cowboykell

Well Guncase, I have a few deluxe 1895s, and since you asked....a serious Marlin collector wouldn't want it. Some of the amateurs out there may pay as high as $2500.00, but you can't put lipstick on a rifle so I think that is too high. Maybe Jorgy will chime in, he had a table full of 1895 Marlin de...

cowboykell

Cerrosafe works better than epoxy.

cowboykell

The forearm has "B" checkering and the buttstock "A" checkering. Color case on the bolt doesn't match rest of the receiver. I'm thinking parts gun.

cowboykell

I believe we "gun collectors" are really "gun caretakers". They don't make these good old guns anymore so I think we should take good care of them so the next generation can shoot, hunt, and appreciate them. I think even the "kill notches" on some rifles are terrible. S...

cowboykell

I would like to meet the guy that messed up that nice old gun...and break all his fingers.

cowboykell

Sure like my 1895 Winchester in 35 WCF. Bunch on Gunbroker.
