yeah, another one of "those" posts.

the worlds gone a little sideways.... think I need to thin the herd some.

any suggestions for an asking price for this rifle?

Went to shoot her for the first time today. And shoot her younger cousin and the loudmouth sidekick (the rossi 92, and century arms coach) picked up the rossi earlier this week, and the shotgun today while getting ammo to go shooting today... funny how that works out sometimes. Once I figured out wh...

I was lead (hahaha) to believe cast was easier on the barrel than jacketed, is the difference so insignificant it wouldn't really matter on occasion?

uncoolperson

Trading an AR for that ------ you may have to take the "un" out of "uncoolperson" :lol: I dont know what its worth -- but i know what i like when i see it (thumbs up) By prices expected out of each of our sales, I'm $100 ahead... Funny enough I saw an ad for a .32 special, and I...

uncoolperson

Nope, need to order some cast bullets to load up for it. I don't want to send anything jacketed down a barrel this old.

New pictures, same link ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/uncoolpers ... 591380415/ )

this one I just think looks cool

I think I've figured out lighting.

Anything in particular I'm trying to get pictures of (for example I think I've figured out how to look for dishing of the screws [I ain't finding it here, wait... I should probably remove the filter on the lens])?

uncoolperson

I'll try with some better lighting and a white background tomorrow. I might be getting rid of the sight. I think my eye is screwy or something, seems to bend the image to the left for me (and me alone so far, only had to wife look at it). I line up the irons and set the rifle somewhere it wont move,...

knew I forgot something http://www.flickr.com/photos/uncoolperson/sets/72157623591380415/ all the pictures are there, if you click a picture then click the all sizes icon you can get em pretty big. the barrel says 30 wcf the barrel is 26 inches, or it is from this point to the end (picture below) th...

I'm trying to figure out if it's worth getting a cody letter (okay, so I'm a cheapskate... $60 is like 5 cases of pabst!) http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4027/4467706103_47c451e3ed.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4060/4467659927_42cbf854b1.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4044/4468438924_0cb794b...

not sure of the name, but levergun leather made mine... real nice work.

uncoolperson

leather is from http://www.levergunleather.com/

thanks for all the input, is an action wrench named anything else or is my google-fu poor (can't find one for an 1894).

Thanks again

uncoolperson

I was thinking the other day, it'd be nice to have mine and my wife's rifles in the same caliber (32 spec). http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3037/3001516930_5cb3ce9f01.jpg http://flickr.com/photos/uncoolperson/3001516930/ So, how hard is a home done rebarrel of a 94? Any problems to expect with the te...

uncoolperson

here's our lever guns at the moment (gonna skip a picture of her new pink .22 rifle, cause it ain't a lever gun) gun leather from http://www.levergunleather.com/, i got some water on it and am trying to remove the stains right now... as arrived was much prettier. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3037/...

uncoolperson

i ordered some of these http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=815124 figured without all the copper it'd be a little nicer to my barrel man, after all this .321 talk i hope i didn't screw up... it's in the .32 special section... sure hope this isn't like the shucks website...

uncoolperson

so, the wife said i can get some reloading equipment.... i need some help on powder and primers, what do i get?

any tips?

uncoolperson

well, I did a nice break down of her to clean the rifle out. way too much copper shavings everywhere, some powder chunks that i didn't get rid of completely, and a nice coat of dark matter down the barrel.... now she's shiny inside, well lubed up, and no copper. I'm not sure if it's the ted williams...

uncoolperson

Well, went and picked up the rifle today... i get home look up the serial V105###, and I'm think "whoa that can't be right!" sure enough it wasn't, I didn't look over the barrel close enough (I trusted the price tag description on the rifle) ted williams model 100 in 30-30 The price was ri...

uncoolperson

well this just got dramatic.... coolant line in my truck broke tonight, so I've gotta hope i can find a way out to this pawn shop before she gets sold. (guns always more important than spending 3 hours under the hood righ?)

everyone cross your fingers for me.

uncoolperson

So while gun hunting for myself today i saw 3 things, a 20 gauge with a pink with black splatter stock, a pink mossberg plinkster, and a model 94 for $250 i bought the wife the plinkster... it was pink (it'll match her taurus), and it's .22.... she still thinks it's too much of a toy. but after some...

uncoolperson

thanks, that definitely would be a bad thing.

as for the 45 long colt, I've been reading the only way to really get them up to par with a 44 mag is reloading (which i haven't started yet)...

uncoolperson

well i guess sometime between when i last brought this up and today she decided she wanted a .44, does that change the suggestions? since I've only ever handled at 44 mag, how does a 45 long colt handle in comparison? again for me the bigger then better, not to compensate for thing. but because i am...

uncoolperson

thanks all for your replies... the stopping a bear thing was serious... going to move back to alaska some day. got all googgly eyed at the magnum research .30/30 revolver....

so for our wedding present (or delayed reception present, as we got married 12/01/06) I talked the girl into getting a matching set of lever guns. me, biggest burliest cartridge i can fine (stop a grizzly) her, something slightly more girly (a 44 mag is a bit much for her) the plan is for our one ye...

i carry my snubby revolver in a 5.11 agressor (or something like that) parka. little spendy, but next tme you need a jacket it's a good one awhile ago i accidently forgot a handful of coffee and sub shop stamp cards in one of the zip pockets before i washed the shell.... didn't get a drop of water o...

I've also had a Leupold scope that saw a lot of sunlight go plum in color. The rifle sat in a pickup truck rifle rack most of the time and the half facing the window eventually turned a nice shade of purple while the other half remained black. The area under the rings remained black as well so I ju...

on the learn to shoot it as it should and the related posts. i've been shooting her pretty decently (enough to make up for not having the sight elevator). between my familial tremor (my hands shake a whole lot... mine and my dad's joke is we could give a tattoo without a tattoo gun) and having an ol...

uncoolperson

ohh... yeah next few guns i buy (after the micro compact Springfield 1911) are going to be a wheel gun and lever to take matching ammo (planing on alaska bear protection if i ever move back), and the girl wants a lever gun (because it's neater than a bolt/pump/auto), probably in pink with gold trim ...

uncoolperson

don't worry, not going to hurt the gun. that's why i asked about a non-drilling option, and i'm worried about the tape. the only rifle I've added a scope to was my m1 carbine, and that was because i found a barrel clamping accessory rail (no holes, no scratches, no bad stuff).... and i had to get my...

32 WCF....even better!!!! You will be admonished for even thinking about scoping a levergun, but a lot of folks do it. There is no scope mount made for that gun without adding holes. A Weaver side mount scope base #3D can be adhered semi-permanently with 3M VHB #4929 . I have enough to spare if you...

uncoolperson

another question, is there any way to put a scope on the rifle without having to drill holes (i'd rather be without extra holes and a scope than have a scope and a few extra holes)?

uncoolperson

thanks for all the links, it's going to take awhile to get through all of that. sorry, forgot to point out earlier, it's a 32 special. hoping to put down a deer with it this fall (the one time my uncle tried, he failer)... would be my first deer, and to do it with the family rifle would be awesome! ...
