From a distance watching mini guns fire at night was always interesting..don't know how many bullets were going into the ground, but there were enough bouncing back up to make it look like water splashing at the end of a hose..

Ben_Rumson

Funny thing to me..I don't recall even once ever hearing anybody around here gripe or criticize the Savage 99 LeverGuns for having safeties..I have heard of preferences for one type or the other though..Mebbe it's cuz they don't look like a rifle from the old west type era?

Ben_Rumson

What kind of crimp? & Nice shooting BTW

Ben_Rumson

What model is it? ... looks like an model B...take down..rifle butt plate.. but with a 20" carbine barrel on it..

Ben_Rumson

Huntington's have NORMA made 303 Savage cases and not too pricey http://www.huntingtons.com/cases_norma.html

Ben_Rumson

Salute! Well Done!

It may happen more now than it used to but defects have always slipped out on factory produced guns.. Just dicovered some on a Savage 99E that was made in 1960.. I'll post about it in another thread.... Like the guys have said..Send it back PS Sometimes I wonder if we the customer now take the place...

Ben_Rumson

It might be prudent to run a few rounds thru it before you send it back jsut to see if there are any other bugs to be found..
BTW Welcome !... Always glad to have another pard

Prolly too late by now in this poll...but I'm holding out w/my vote in hopes that Hobie will add 100 yds to the poll like Griff asked..If not then I'll have to go w/75yds too..

Ben_Rumson

I'd go with a full mag to better test the crimps.. but with some sort of slow fire method

Ben_Rumson

Nothin agin yer eyesight Griff, but I suggest the use of a scoped rifle if you haven't already thought of it..

Indian Chief, "Two Eagles," was asked by a government official, "You have observed the white man for 90 years. You've seen his wars and his technological advances. You've seen his progress, and the damage he's done." The Chief nodded in agreement. The official continued, "Co...

Looks like some kinda movie prop gun to me..

Ben_Rumson

3rd bump..This board can't really be stumped can it?

Ben_Rumson

Ben_Rumson

Thanks crawdaddyjim ! Prolly too early to say I've done stumped the board...

Ben_Rumson

I notice in comparing exploded views between the Savage 99 A and other 99s that both have what appears to be identical lower tangs...Is then the only major difference between the two the configuration of the levers and stocks? The only exploded views I've found so far however, are the ones of the ta...

Back in the 70s I saw a guy buy an 1886 and a couple of boxes of old time paper patched shells to go along w/it... Saw him at the range later that day shooting the same gun & shells... He had about a six inch group @ 100 from a magazine full.. I was impressed w/ the gun & ammo..I thought he ...

Ben_Rumson

I've got a 3rd Mod 1873 SRC 44WCF w/Lyman folding peep.. That configuration is perfection IMO... 44 cal tube makes it light as it can be..I like the idea of a bigger diameter/heavier bullet over the 38-40... But it's more of an idea, rather than anything that really much matters...

Ben_Rumson

You've got the spear ... Why not give annealing, hardening & tempering a go as per the info about 5150 Tycer has put you onto? A box of sand to bury the blade in will suffice to slowly cool the blade down.. Used motor oil will work for quenching.. I wonder though, how the people that used these ...

Ben_Rumson

I'd go w/the Uberti Remington design

Ben_Rumson

C T..You might get lucky and that sight dovetail may be standard Mauser width..In which case taller after market replacements are available.. Don't currently have one to measure though...

Ben_Rumson

Owing to the fact that Irskine Allin had the Patent & worked for Springfield that figured highly into the cost equation of the conversion..... The early soft copper cartridge cases had more to with Trapdoor stoppages than the fouling did..

Ben_Rumson

Here's neat looking one too

If I wanted a shooter, I'd buy one ready to go that has a decent bore...Plenty of 'em around...

Ben_Rumson

ursavus.elemensis.. How's this sit w/ ya.... Back in my mis spent youth, Me & a Pard after a few hrs @ a Kegger on the 4th of July... Turnt loose all the dogs & cats in the local pound...Good thing we didn't think of the zoo!

Ben_Rumson

That a decent price? Winchester Brand

Ben_Rumson

I saw one in a Reno Pawn Shop years ago... Genuine old time custom gun on a TD action w/ long octagon barrel.. Hammer had been reshaped.. Had Set triggers .. checked straight gripped half stock...Sucker was worn to a frazzle too...

Ben_Rumson

FalPhil....A bolt gun has a lever handle..Call 'em all what you want... See what I mean? We like guns..Post about them... No worries

Ben_Rumson

Nice post.. Thanks..

Ben_Rumson

Yikes.. My Red Ryder Repeating Carbine.. Hamerless Design, Has a Lever...Feeds a round from the tubular under barrel magazine.. . But doesn't extract... So, it is disqualified..NOT a true LeverGun... It comes sooo close too!! ...So then, Sharps, Ballards & all the rest are less than my Red Ryder...

Ben_Rumson

Thanks!!

Ben_Rumson

Make up a dummy rnd..Seat a bullet out to touch the rifling..Then seat it about twenty thou deeper.. See if that runs thru the magazine...Then play with it from there....

Ben_Rumson

MacEntyre..or others.. I don't know much about Marlins.. So how is the front band removed?..

Ben_Rumson

Hmmmm Wonder how my Sawz All would work

Ben_Rumson

Some where buried amongst my Dads 1930s shop books are blueprints from a trade school to construct an aluminum canoe.. All riveted construction! ..Another set for making an aluminum hunting Bow..

Ben_Rumson

I'd love to have a go with that Winny..

Ben_Rumson

Ben_Rumson

Blacksmithing..With it you can learn to make just about any kind of hand tool.. after you get the basics of anealing, hardening, tempering, Scissors , Knives, Hammers, Hatchets, ..You can even make springs too..It's all fun stuff if ya like to whip steel..

Ben_Rumson

The new Lymans look like their old timers pretty much..but the new ones have a ball detent for the folding feature unlike the originals.. and use an O ring to add friction to the elevation barrel to keep it from moving.. that seems to work pretty good... I like the originals better though.. Put the ...

Ben_Rumson

Another thing that sets the Mossy 472 apart from the Marlin 336 is that it uses a through bolt to attach the buttstock.. Some folks pay extra to have their Marlins modified to employ that innovative feature...

Ben_Rumson

Drool..Very cool

Ben_Rumson

Been eyeballing a nice used one, 358 scoped,@ $650 That a decent price?

Ben_Rumson

LeverRevolutions in the 30-30 AI

Ben_Rumson

Had a dog chew off the corner of the rag top for my TR 4 which I had stupidly left folded up & laying on garage floor

Ben_Rumson

Yes, Enjoy that baby! & another hearty welcome aboard

Ben_Rumson

I hope you upgraded that line to a stainless braided type..

Ben_Rumson

WOW! I'm always a sucker for anything with a handguard..A Savage 99 with one, is, well, waaay over the top!
