My first 32-20 was a Martini Cadet that had been rechambered to 32-20 with a .317 bore. ([lewisblack]It's a lever! It's. a. lever.[/lewisblack]) I picked it up for $100 in the mid-80s, and since it patterned more than grouped and the bore was a bit corroded I had it relined, and the metal bits bead...

Hmmm, a scout mount would be a good idea as well. I guess I'd better start looking to see who makes one.

awp101

Chaparral Europe made a agreement(unbeknownst to Chaparral USA) with Charles Daley to inport guns that were assembled in Italy. These guns were rejected by Daley because the Daley name was mispelled on them. They were then sold as a lot to CDNN who discounted them significantly below the Chaparral ...

Thanks Griff, I must not have been looking in the right part of the website for the info.

Ooooooooooooooh boy, looks like I found a use for my Holosight!

One last question, I see the mount hangs over the barrel. Did you have to mount it TO the barrel as well since it sits so far forward on the receiver?

Thanks!

I'd love to try but I can't find anything in the DFW/NTX area...

I've had a good experience with the XS ghost-ring sights. The rear sight mounts on top of the receiver without having a bulky sight body on the side of the gun, and they don't hang over the back of the receiver. Here's mine. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y264/FWiedner/Misc/1894C_woE2.jpg :) I wa...

Sooooooooooo, what other problems were there? Was the jamming when shucked at high speed the biggie?

Disclaimer: I don't have one, I don't have a line on one... :wink: OK, let's say you run across a fairly priced Trapdoor in original condition BUT the bore is TOTALLY gone. As in a sewer pipe smoothbore. Would you buy it as a wall hanger and keep it as is or replace the barrel and make it a shooter?...

Of all the luck, I rear-ended a car this morning. We both pull over to the side of the road and I get out of my car to check the damage.

For some reason I was thinking (there I go, working without tools again...

) the sight would interfere with the top of the bolt.

awp101

Since the Marlin does not have the ugly "belly button" recessed area for the crossbolt, the case head would be surface mounted rather than flush. Yeah, I thought of that after I went to bed last night. :lol: I saw the Marlin replacement but I want a case head, not a screw. I suppose I cou...

OK, in regards to WW casting I found this thread: http://levergunscommunity.com/viewtopic.php?t=1619&start=0 And did some quick looking.

blueroan, thanks for the book tips! I already have 3 of MV's books but I'll get that one as well. I just wasn't sure if this was a buffalo rifle or not. I got the SPG BP cart loading book last month but haven't opened it yet.

How does 1F compare to cartridge grade? Finer? Coarser?
