That list wouldn't be complete without "Me and Big Nose Kate".

Case hardened receivers could be special ordered. Most with engraving were color cased.

Pete is right, 28" was the most popular but 24" were fairly common. I sold an 1881 chambered 40 cal - 40-60 Marlin - 40-65 Win with a 28' barrel, excellent bore for $1900 last month on Gunbroker That should give you a starting price on value.

I started out raising Herefords...The only good thing about a Hereford??? They crossed real well with a Simmental !!!!

cowboykell

Well Don...your cows are black, mine are red, I have more snow and a better dog ( Border Collie) but we both drive Fords and pick up our baler twine. Tie ?

cowboykell

95s aren't crowned, they're cut flush...but I winced too.

cowboykell

Unless it is a hollow base bullet, you can't "bump up a bullet" with smokeless powder.

Usually the people who say money isn't everything, don't have any. :lol: That is possibly quite true. But then again, I have been with a number of people at their death. So far not one of them died wishing they had more money. :o Kind of a dumb statement! Did any of them die wishing they had less m...

Usually the people who say money isn't everything, don't have any.

cowboykell

...consider the alternative.

Had our annual winter show in Mandan, ND this weekend. It's the social event of the winter, had the friends of NRA banquet Sat. night. After many years of attending this gun show, I know most of the exibitors and all the locals that walk through so quite a bull session. I had my 9 different calibers...

cowboykell

Have all of you beat, -44 degrees F. in Bismarck, ND yesterday morning. That kept both Riff and Raff out of the state.

cowboykell

I shoot a 300 gr. cast bullet over 10 gr. of Trail Boss powder in Bertram cases in an original 45-75 Win 1876. Loads seem wimpy and I haven't shot over my chrony, but I can sure wallop my 100 yd. gong.

cowboykell

The person that butchered that old 1886 should have all his fingers broken !

cowboykell

The bolt from a 39A will fit in a 39 with little or no fitting. Then you can blast away with high velocity ammo.

cowboykell

180 gr. Swift Scirocco with 94.0 gr. of Reloader 25 in my 300 RUM is my go to long range gun. The bullet has worked well on elk, moose, and a few long range plains game.

cowboykell

Works great on Eland, wildebeest, hartebeest, waterbuck, wart hog......

cowboykell

Give me a gun with a 95% bore and I'll make it shoot. Neck turning, chamber reaming, hollow base bullet...lots of tricks to make them shoot.

cowboykell

I'm wondering how " guns in 95% condition only to find they were worthless as shooters." could happen?

cowboykell

Most of the dings around the takedown cam are from some bozos trying to take it apart. Bad thing is, it often messes up the serial number.

cowboykell

Good one, Don.

cowboykell

I had a Marlin 1893 with a bulged chamber, took a cleaning rod to knock out the empty.

cowboykell

Internet myth?

cowboykell

Anyone have a credible source for information on "pressure spikes" with Trail Boss powder?

cowboykell

I have quit using 5744 as a black powder substitute, leaves too much residue, unburnt kernels. I'm very pleased with Trail Boss. What is your basis for the "pressure spike"?

cowboykell

Smart move getting the letter, this one would be easy to fake.

cowboykell

I shoot 38 S&W Special wadcutters in my 38 Colt. I don't think there is any difference in the chambers.

cowboykell

Sure looks like a reblue to me. 1894s are famous for losing the blue on the receivers. I've owned a few "antique" 1894s that were almost silvered out.

cowboykell

Good looking daughter you have there, Old Savage.

cowboykell

Marlin 1895 Deluxe PG in 40-70.

cowboykell

I own ALL of them. I don't make payments on firearms.

cowboykell

I thought if there was anything good at the show, you would buy it during set up. Saved a 100 mile trip, besides I'm still trying to kill something with my muzzle loader.

cowboykell

Did you noticed the buyer of the $3925.00 Win 71 was a non rated buyer? The more you pay for an education...the more you learn...sometimes.

cowboykell

Like new Lee set shipped for $20.00

cowboykell

If you think it has been reblued, it usually was.

cowboykell

Where are the pics of Ms. Chambers ?

cowboykell

Weanling colts are selling for as little as $25.00 here in the Dakotas. From your topic, I was wondering if I was missing out on something.

cowboykell

Jorgy has the market cornered on deluxe and rare Marlins. You might want to ask him if he would share.

cowboykell

John Marlin designed the first lever action to handle the 45-70 cartridge. With all the government ammo available, and often given away to the settlers by the Army...that was a big deal.

cowboykell

...and then John Marlin came to the rescue !!!

cowboykell

Hey Hobie...I meant in the gun department as well !!

cowboykell

What are you ? a slow starter ?

cowboykell

All Model 1897s are takedowns...sounds like a good deal.

cowboykell

Model 1894 is marked on the top tang, 1889s aren't. Locking bolt on a 1889 comes down in front of the trigger and an 1889 has a catch to keep the finger lever against the bottom tang.

cowboykell

The petting zoo called...they want their goat back !!!

cowboykell

If you look it up, you'll remember it longer.

cowboykell

I have a 45-60 and a 45-75 with very good bores, and yes, the rifling is shallow.

cowboykell

Go to the Gun Store on south Tropicana Ave. You can shoot just about anything full auto. I burned up $60 in a Thompson, but had more fun than any slot machine. Two gals were next to me shooting Uzis and you needed a bushel basket for their empties.

cowboykell

All Marlin 1893s were marked "Marlin Safety". In 1903 the "Marlin Safety" was moved forward to allow for 2 screws to attach a Hepburn sight.

cowboykell

Jorgy - your rifle is ruined and can never be fired again. Send it to me and I'll give you $100.00 for the parts.
