Man you are RICH. A fine son, good rife and mans best friend to enjoy both with. How could a man ask for more???

Ted N. for president!!!

Limited Liability Co. or Corp. Dont know any more. Maybe a search would turn up more info.

foxtrapper, you can have some or all of my coyotes. just come and get em!! Dang things are all over the place and there howling will wake you at night.

Dennis, Amway Scrub Buds are great for light rust removal. They are made of a soft stainless steel like kitchen scrub pads. I bought a box of three buds about twenty years ago and still have one new one in the box. Use with oil same as steel wool.

2row, would like to help but I have no take off fronts and save the rears in case I sell a rifle.
Brownells sells Marlin factory parts and they dont cost that much. Give them a try.

When I melt down my WW and make up some alloy, I do it in small 40-50 # batches and clean the pot before starting another batch. Mark each batch and keep it seperate. that way if you have a problem you will have not messed up a lot of lead. When I alloy with tin I do about 25-30 # batches and keek i...

Thanks, I will use them. Nice rifle and fall colors. Very fine photos!!!

Regular Carbine.

and that is a fair price for a shooter in my book. At least thats what they bring here. Have fun.

CanadianCowboy, Bill Ferguson (The Antimony Man, and a Certified Metalergist) said in an article in The Fouling Shot (the Cast Bullet butt.) that lead with 3% antimony like most wheel weights are made of will start to melt at 490Deg.F and that Zink will alloy with lead at 604deg.F. Bill said that ve...

Those brass frames are barley strong enough for the BP round ball load and tend to shoot loose real quick. Spend the bux and get a breech loader SA revolver and have one that will last.

COOL

Keep those pics coming friend. Love to see fine rifles!

The .357 is a very good choice for your first lever. Most of the reasons have allready been given by the guys here. You will have more fun with it if you invest in a simple reloading kit and start rolling your own. Have fun! 8) As for recoil of the .357, I never thought there was any recoil from min...

Andrew, They come out of the mold that way when cast of 20:1 or 30:1 lead/ tin alloy. The tin makes them shine like a new dime! Just like the Lone Rangers silver bullets.

I just subscribed to Ranch Dogs 165gr .30 cal. two cavity mold thanks to Mojo`s urging. I think we need 5 more to complete the order.

I have had great luck with the Lyman 311041, but one can never have too many molds.

I have pan lubed the.432 (.44 cal.)RD bullets using SPG.and it fills the lube grooves very well. The lube grooves are small but there are more of them. I have not shot them with any hot loads but Ranch Dog and others say you can push them FASTER than jacket velocitys without leading using Lee tumble...

I to see prices all over the place. Seems people think they are worth whatever they ask.

Must be talkin bout those new fangled "lookin pipes" I see on guns folks from the city carry.

Finaly got time to try out my new Ranch Dog (Lee) molds today. They cast a sweet looking bullet. Cant wait to get to the range. These were cast of 30:1 alloy with all Virgin metals. Usualy people will use a coin in the photo to gain perspective for scale. How does someone on the other side of the pl...

Lookin good friend. Bet they shoot like a house-a-fire !
Lookin forward to several range reports ,as once you start casting its hard to stop.

OI , That could be. He also said that as the melt warms that zink and other unwanted metals ( including your tin I assume) can be skimed off until it reaches alloy temp. He said that pure lead ( what some used metals dealers call pure) can have as many as 20 other metals in them. I have purchased Do...

Done, keep us posted friend.

OI and Tycer, I was just repeating what I read last night in the Fouling Shot and Bill is the CERTIFIED metals man. He did not say that Zink wheel weights would melt at 604F but that Zink will alloy with WW lead at that temp. Could it be that the Zink WW`s are not pure Zink? At any rate if I find a ...

Yes, watch out for zink!! Bill Ferguson (the antimony man) said in the latest Fouling Shot that Zink will alloy with lead at 604 deg.F and that lead with 3% antimony will start to melt at 490F and all antiomny will be in solution by 515F. It is best to smelt your wheel weights at as low a temp as po...

C.Cash said 39A... I second that emotion!

Cherry was often used in less expensive kentucky and Tennessee long rifles . It is seldome anything but straight grained and of poor color until it ages. Also quite brittle and will crack/split easily compared to walnut or maple. I have a Dixie Tenn.Mountain rifle with a Cherry stock. It looks like ...

My e-bay account was closed years ago. They blocked me!!! There was a pfishing thing going on and somebody was trying to use my sign in to make a purchase according to Flea-Bay. :evil: I opened another account for my 6mo. old Yorkshire Terrier Joey. :D Joey has not had any complaints and ordered a l...

I matched 100% with Dunkin Hunter. I was thinking Fred Thompson. I guess I had better start paying attention to them closer.

In 1969 I bought a Colt SSA .45 colt 7 1/5 bbl. NIB at the Rod and Gun Club on post in Kitzingen Germany for $115.00 . I also bought a Colt Python .357 at the same time, also $115.00 NIB. I carried them home in a case sliped under the seat of the airplane. Those were the days!!!

A new barrel would be cheaper than a rebore and chamber job dont you think?

Good guns, good load ,good shootin.

Looks like a parts gun to me. What is with the gold paint and why is there none on the bolt? Tempting but think I will pass!!!

Lots of those CA loonies move up here.

First thing they do is try to change this place to be just like the place they escaped from!!!

I spent what felt like a lifetime in Modesto the summer of "61".

That is a lot of rifle for the price. If I had use for it I would snap that one up !

GOOD ONE !!!

Dont file it off!! It must be depressed to allow the sear to release the hammer. The spring or interlock must be binding badly. If handy with tools,remove the butt stock and see if you can see what the L is going on. there could be rust or debris holding it from doing it`s job the way it was intende...

My mention of the impact change of 6" in my rifles was not to say that the performance was that much greater but to let you know that they most likely will not print in the same place as what you have been shooting. If you want to try them on game,be sure to spend some serious range time to zer...

It is super accurate in my Marlin 336A (1950), and Win. 94 (1956). It shoots about 6" higher than Rem. 170 gr. factory ammo at 100 yd.
Give it a try, you will like the way it groups.

YES my friend, On their way. With best wishes from all in my family.

Lots of Lyman stuff there, Trimmer , Scale, turret press( in third box )and several (3-4) sets of dies. Fun to rummage through that stuff!

That one needs to be in the garbage!!! Not worth the trouble it could cause. A bullet stuck half way up the barrel could make for one heck of a mess and possible ruined bore if it comes out hard.
I vote """ Throw it away""" .

Turn right at the big tree to find me!!

WOW

Nice rifle ! I have not seen any for sale localy for any price. Only on auction sites or at gun shows and they are allways high priced. You did good.

They are SWEET, I got mine about a month ago and love it!!!

Thanks Jim !

WCF30-30, I have found 18 gr of IMR 4198 to be a super accurate target load at just below 1600 fps in my rifle. I have used up to 23 gr IMR 4198 with the 311041 bullet wich is getting hot and they still shot very good. Lee alox will work well as will the Lyman gas checks. I just dont like the mess w...

Get well soon!! and after that be carefull!!!
