Here she is.. Dame Chocolot I call her.. for obvious reasons..Note the two notches filed in the butt near the toe also http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v237/Ben_Rumson/DameChocolot.jpg Right Kirk.. never had any lead PB bullets do this well.. Sixgun.. besides the chamber erosion she suffers from th...

Ben_Rumson

OKâ€¦ Got out to the range yesterday (cool, intermittent clouds with light wind) to try yet another lead bullet load in the old Win. 73 SRC 44WCF, I figured this would prolly be my last shot at getting lead bullets to work in it.. & Iâ€™m happy to report that finally , Iâ€™ve found a lead bullet...

& many more to you two!!

mescalero1 said I have a straight grip model also, I will report an odd phenomenon here. I can, with more speed, comfort & enjoyment; ' work the lever from the shoulder " than I can my Win. model 94 Any suggestions as to why? Mebbe cuz the trigger rotates along with the lever when it's thro...

Ben_Rumson

Yeah.. the last foto would have a bullet hole in the glass if that was my place..

Ben_Rumson

Thanks Tycer...I dunno how missed that article..

Ben_Rumson

Yup made one from a heavy truck spring in the forge I used to have..Drew it out.. rough cut it with the hot chisel..let cool down slow in a box of hydrated lime so she'd be soft & easy to work..Filed it to shape.. drilled it for the scales.. Heated her up to cherry in a dark room.. quenched in a...

Ben_Rumson

Believe me when I say, I couldn't have done it better myself...Nice shooting dude.

Ben_Rumson

Mebbe in the 86, if there were any, they got fixed w/the 71?

Ben_Rumson

Very nice & well thought out.. Looks like you're having a great time too..Thanks for taking the time to make this a great post..

Ben_Rumson

Nice post.. nice Elk..Neat gun..Sure hope it was down hill back to the camp!

Ben_Rumson

Thanks for the update Griff...Hang in there & hope you get to feelin better soon!

Ben_Rumson

Guys..all nice rifles....Hobie..22" barrel? I'd be alright with a tang safety feature if I went with a metallic sight on the 99..I've got the tang safety on my scoped 7x57 Ruger 77 & love it.. no interference on that one

Ben_Rumson

Shasta..Thanks for the fantastic post..I've got 'er saved..

Ben_Rumson

Heck edsguns, why not post those pics here if you can..Not meaning to knock any one's rifle..I'd of took one with the impressed checkering( happy w/o it tho..) for the deal I got on this one last year...$400..I posted about it when I first got it..I said it was like new..I'm even more positive about...

Ben_Rumson

Noah Zark.. +1 Same rifle I learned on..Sorry to say theives made off with it & Gramp's Rem. Mod 10 that I later learned on when I got bigger..If I evva ketch the rat bastids.....

Ben_Rumson

edsguns...Hardwood.. but thankfully w/o the cheesy impressed checkering.. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v237/Ben_Rumson/Picture012.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v237/Ben_Rumson/Picture005-1.jpg I scoped it with a 1.5-5x Leup w/dot reticule...Unlike the feather weight.. it has a stiff 20&...

Ben_Rumson

Nice pics..Neat guns..Looks like great fun.. & I'd wager you had the place to yourself to boot!

Ben_Rumson

I'm curious about the 99 E I scored last year...Made in 1960..300 Sav. cal. It's the 20"carbine model...Anybody have any idea on how many modern era carbines were produced, Or how long they were offered?

Ben_Rumson

Nice shooting..nice gun..Thanks for the report..

Ben_Rumson

Thanks for your service..Salute & good luck!

Ben_Rumson

Cool gun..Thanks for the report 2row

Ben_Rumson

Maybe you want something that looks like this?

505stevec...That pic made me belly laugh..Way Way Cute!

Ben_Rumson

Depending on the fore arm length for looks 24" or carbine length would be plenty handy..with a short tang sight..You'd have all the sight radius you'll ever need for hunting..

Ben_Rumson

I'm starting to want a Big Boy now...Ugly.. Ungainly..Distained...Sounds like the perfect rifle to whip some Winny, Marlin & Rossi shooters butts with!!

Ben_Rumson

After you have made the crimp have you tried backing the cartridge out a tad and rotating it a half a turn & then pushing it back up in the die for another go at crimping..?

Ben_Rumson

mescalero1.. I beleive in the older Savages the magazine rotors are specific to the caliber..The Bullberry shoulder is farther forward than the 25-35 and may not correctly nest in the 25-35 rotor..

Ben_Rumson

The 99 Savage magazine probably wouldn't accomodate the 25 Bullberry w/o modification...

Ben_Rumson

Very nice...

Ben_Rumson

Drool...

Ben_Rumson

Great Pics.. Nice job..Clever w/the thinner blade rather than the hacksaw..

Ben_Rumson

Modoc ED... There was a topic about these rifles on the old forum & IIRC folks were saying after market 10/22 barrels could be used in place of the 22M barrels...If you wanted to make yourself another 10/22..

Ben_Rumson

My kind of story..Thanks..

Ben_Rumson

You won't have to worry about the lube melting!! Good Luck

Ben_Rumson

I've seen before it too.. Notice the rust on the bare metal...I seem to remember from before that it was found in the woods..or left in the woods for a time before it was retieved..Never heard about the load that wrecked it untill now..

Ben_Rumson

The car warranty folks that call here use a recorded msg.. But the most sure fire way I have discovered to stop most of them cold is to answer with a cheery, Hola!.. If it goes any farther than that in English, then I use my best Speedy Gonzales No Sauveeee... If they start speaking Spanish I just h...

Ben_Rumson

edsguns... A while back I handled an old Marlin 30-30 that was set up exactly like you said.. It has a 3x scope w/post reticule & a horizontal cross hair....The scope is low mounted and has enough eye relief to sit well ahead of the hammer .... Here's the kicker.. the scope is a Weaver 3-30.. It...

Will do Kirk.. Ordered this & the GCs

Ben_Rumson

Good on ya for getting there & working thru it..Well done O I

Ben_Rumson

Nice shooting.. thanks for posting the results..

Ben_Rumson

Nice shooting..Nice guns..Thanks for the report...Getting ready in one last desperate try to get my 73 44WCF to shoot lead bullets..Got a GC mold & GCs on the way..

Ben_Rumson

Great stuff to hear..Nice shooting Jim

Ben_Rumson

I really like iron sights ... be it open or aperture..but when the light gets low the scope is the way to go.. The fun I used to have offhand shooting and slapping the 200 yard gongs w/ various rifles & pistols at a range I used to frequent was great.. Well, the fun got spoilt when they enclosed...

Ben_Rumson

+1 more for Kirk's idea..

Ben_Rumson

I'm tempted to say it looks like sabotage!

Ben_Rumson

I'm wondering if it's has a message like in hieroglyphics...Mebbe some kind of hunting prayer... The tack treatment is good too..

Neat gun... But I'd have to have it w/a carbine buttstock..
