I gave 1200 recently for a Browning High Grade SRC. It was like new in the box, I don't think it was fired, but it doesn't matter, as I have since had it drilled and tapped for a receiver sight and of course I have fired it.

I've been a member of this board for a couple of years now, and it never ceases to amaze me just how many people prefer the older "steel framed" guns when there is no advantage to them at all. As I've already established in previous posts, the "alloy framed" BLR's have locking l...

No, the crescent buttplate on the 1886 is worse. Ouch! Actually, I think maybe the worst one is the one that came on my Browning B78 singleshot in 45/70. It's made like a darned fishhook on the bottom and believe me, you never want to fire that gun without getting that buttplate set just right on y...

Good looking Street Glide, I also have a Roadking just about like it, but I have apehangers on it, like my Wide Glide has, I also removed the floorboards and made my own foward controls for it, I never could get used to the floorboards.

I second what Tycer said. Get the short action in .308 or .358 because they just make up into a much handier combination, and there isn't a nickels worth of difference between the .30-06 and the .308 unless you are are going to shoot over 200gr. bullets in it. Also, while the newer BLR Lightweights ...

You can also buy a "shotgun" aperture. I suppose I should take a photo of the two side by side... Yes, Hobie You can get the shotgun/big game aperature, I have several. Actually, they work pretty good but they are big, I mean a little too big sometimes, depending on the front sight combin...

That's a beautiful gun, I am glad you were able to get it. Enjoy.

I sold a pretty nice 99EG for 400.00 just a couple of weeks ago. It was in 300 savage and a very good shooter. I probably should have kept it, but I have been buying too many leveracitons lately and felt like I needed to recoupe some of my money, that I have blown. And while the 99 was a good gun, I...

I watched Crossfire Trail over the weekend, again. It's pretty neat. they did their homework pretty good on the guns. Seleck eventually gets a 76 Winchester Centennial, and puts it to good use, and one of the old men on there, ( I can't remember his name) uses an old Evans leveraction, you don't see...

Yes, I never really liked that peep option for the Redhawk, I understand exactly what you are talking about, regarding that sight.

I finally got to test my Browning tonight, when I got home from work. I didn't have much time, but I wanted to find out if the front sight was going to have to replaced with a taller one. I knew it would be close, so I set up a quick target, and grabbed a small screwdriver to make adjustments. I was...

I seen a big black Cat, working it's way in and out of some tall cane along a creek, back in the late 70's, during deer season. It was seen in an area, in NW Arkansas, where stories of black panthers, were sorta a folk lore told by old timers back then. It was quite a bit bigger then a bobcat, and I...

I don't much care for the large levers either, althrough the slightly larger WWG or DRC may have some merrit for cold climates and large hands. But the big John Wayne version is just for looks, all show and no go, sure looks cool to the uneducated, through.

My Browning High Grade SRC was not drilled and tapped for a receiver sight, but my Winchester 86EL was. I thought all of the 86 Winchesters of late were, but I might be wrong.

Lastmohecken

The bad thing about all of the decent gunsmiths in my area, is they are all too scared to modify a safety system on any gun, for fear of being sued in case of an accident. I think a lot of the guys are doing the work theirselves, because of this.

Lastmohecken

If I had no choice but to purchase a lawyered up 1886, vs. finding an older Browning, like I have now, and I knew someone who could do a good job of welding up the tang safety slot, reblue, and loose the rebounding hammer, the answer to your question is, absolutely yes, I would do it in a New York m...

Anyway, I like this gun a lot better now. It's funny how sometimes, just a few minor changes can make a gun feel like a totally different animal. Getting rid of that flat and slick metal buttplate, made the gun feel totally different when I shoulder it, and of course the sights are better too. It st...

Woops! I don't know why I got a picture of my Wide Glide up instead of my rifle. I guess I will have to try again. This photobucket deal does not work very good for me.

2ndovc,

Thats a fine looking old Winchester 95 you have there. I am still trying to get a picture up, but I am having trouble getting it done.

Here is picture of my Browning Model 95 after I added a Williams Fool Proof 71 to it, and put a Lyman dovetail filler block in the open sight barrel dovetail and I had the stock cut and added an Old English Decelerator pad to replace the slick steel buttplate I never liked.

I don't like Paypal because they are anti-gun but for some purchases it is a lot less trouble then getting a money order and sending it off and quicker. But I only use a credit card with Paypal and I have never been the seller, so I have not given them a bank account number. That does scare me. But ...

I thought I would share this, just in case someone else finds it useful. This might have been done before, but I discovered it, for myself, today.

Lastmohecken, I've had to tinker with and work on every Ruger single action I've owned except one. That's maybe a fat half dozen. I hate to admit it, but I just figure that most Rugers will come with bugs in them. Once those are worked out you've got a gun that will last you two lifetimes. Joe[/quot...

Lastmohecken, Sounds to me like you got an ACP cylinder just on the borderline of being out of spec. It happens.

But on the single action Ruger, the bullet headspaces on the case rim, as it was designed to do, on the Colt 1911 auto, ... That's on the case mouth not the rim.

You might want to ask yourself which one you will shoot the most, or will it just be a safe queen after a little while. Of course I guess there is nothing wrong with owning a safe queen or two.

If I were to "peep" one, I would install a Williams WGRS made for a radius-rceivered rie - like the BAR - and have the two holes D/T'd in the top of the receiver. Any peep's gonna need a higher front sight blade, and the WGRS won't hang off either side. Williams also offers a WGRS made fo...

Don't get too caught up with the proper grip.

Malamute gave some very good advice. Get a .22 revolver or auto if you want and practice. Don't plink too much at first, get some good 25yd bullseye targets and shoot at them.

I guess the .357's are quite a bit higher then the 44mags in the Browning 92's.

How did you come up with the reversible front sight? Was it custom made, or does someone actually offer that sight?

Lastmohecken

Now that is a nice 86! So I take it that you started with a Browning pre-tang safety gun, and re stocked it, rebarreled it etc. to get there? Or did you use an original 86 Winchester?

Lastmohecken

That was good shooting, indeed. I wish we had a range like that where I live.

Lastmohecken

Winchester Super X Hollowpoints are very accurate in my 94/22mag rifle.

I have never shot my Ruger single six with the magnum cylinder, all that much, mainly because it is ear splitting loud, so I can't really say what would be the best for it.
