Re: Winchester 94 Trapper Question
Thanks for the site. I am aware of the Hi Viz. It is the front sight I have on my 1886 Browning rifle. The length however is too long and will not fit with the front barrel / mag tube ring. I wonder if maybe I could machine it to fit?

Re: Best/favorite gun/ammo combo for feral cats
when they try to take up residence in my barn I resort to "trap em and scrap em" as for caliber and cartridge, it is whatever is in my hand at the time. as Mr. Jim T. said, shot placement is the key.

I have already removed the rear sight and install a Lyman receiver sight. Now I want to change out the front blade to a green fiber optic blade. I find ...
