Huh...?!? Always thought the secret to the levergun's success was SIMPLICITY, EASE OF CARRY, EASE OF HANDLING; NONE of which are enhanced by the add-ons this particular iteration presents. I reckon if a man packed one in a 'plastic' scabbard on a 4-wheeler (don't let me get started ...) and "hu...

He was a de...

Yeah, I know I'm from another planet, but I just cannot understand why a man would want to go thru life without at least a couple guns (long &/or short...) chambered for the venerable .45 Colt cartridge.

The sintered carrier/lifter they used for a while was a BIG problem also. Many were brittle or cracked, from the get go. Most of the '94s of that era that come in for repairs around here, have carrier problems.

The interesting thing about LONESOME DOVE is that it may be the best-plagiarized work of fiction ever co-opted...

I recently cut a front dovetail leaving .050" of solid barrel at the thinnest spot out of a 1.5" thick barrel wall. My understanding is that this thickness is standard for a front sight, and I was using a standard front sight. I cut to the depth of the pre-existing screw holes so I figure...

I roam the mountains alone regularly. But I never go unarmed. I've heard of several wolf issues, one where a woman was stalked.

Why some fellers insist on bending their sights is a mystery to me... Most 'windage' problems can be cured quite effectively by turning the barrel a VERY small amount.
