Probably a 1895 Winchester in .270 or 30-06

A SRC carbine... at least a 90% gun.... if I couldnt find a 270 the 30 Govt would do. Need the upper wood too.... I really dig those carbines and now days they bring way more than I care to pony up.

Hillbilly

If I "had" to... maybe a Weaver K4............

I cant bear the thought.........

Best Pawn in Stillwater OK has at least one NIB Ruger 96/22 (I did not dig in the pile of boxes he had)He seemed to mumble "2" when I asked. Seems his wholesaler had a few ...so he took em. It's a 22 Magnum BEST PAWN &Gun 405 624 2274 I dont represent this outfit... just in there brows...

Hillbilly

I'd jump on that. Most "white" Winchester 94's have asking prices over $500 these days.

If you flip this page back to the home page and click Winchester Resources you should find a serial number source. Pre war and Pre 64 guns are always a nice find.

Hillbilly

I am glad you got your man.

We see way too many of our cases plea down- then out- too.

shot the end of a pharmacy pill bottle at 40 yards or so. The kids had been all around this little target with a couple of scoped rifles... a Speedmaster and Ruger 77/22 I took a standing offhand shot at it with a Marlin 39. One shot-one kill. (suprised the H e double toothpicks outta me) Now I am k...

If I didnt have to drive on I-35 we would be driving a Model A Ford. I feel your pain, Joe Miller.

Anachronism? Count me in.

about the only redeming facet to the roof and septic tank is they are part of a leased property. Wait wait wait... other than waiting to flush a toilet on a rainy day "life is good" I went out Monday PM and removed my asset from the person who contracted my job. That's the person who sent ...

Hillbilly

thats the best story Ive heard in a long time.

Almost better than the NYC native- Palm Beach Fl Deputy who wanted to shoot a jersey cow in the middle of the road... I will have to share that one later.

Hillbilly

hate to sound bitter... but I have worked in trades/service and done the odd job or two in the other situation I noted. Phone calls go a long way. I dont think my dad or I ever lost a job, got sued or never showed up on time or failed to finish anything. The only reason I hired this stuff out is bec...

Hillbilly

Does anyone in this nation still do what they say they will? I have been waiting on a roofer to show up for months. And have been waiting on a septic tank -drain feild guy forever. Had to move a fence for him... and did that weeks ago. The only appliance repair that will show up here has been so lon...

Hillbilly

If you take "American Rifleman" ---- a couple of issues back they ran a pretty exhaustive peice on how to hollow grind stock tips and drivers to fit the odd screw. You can buy tips that are half ground (one side) that you can custom finish.

So much for "standard" sizes eh?

double ditto on the Hoppes.... it will lift nickle if it gets under any nick or weak spot

Hillbilly

30 WCF.... one step and they dropped. that was with the old Western Silvertips.

I have been luck enough to boiler room deer with 357 mag and 25-35.... if you hit em where they live, they dont go far.

Hillbilly

Levers are capable of fine group shooting.... but as we know they are the epitomy of "practical" firearms. If I was a handloader... I'd be looking at velocity over a chrono for consistancy than bench groups. The forearm and mag tube make levers tricky with the pressure and harmonics... but...

Hillbilly

Were do you find this stuff ?..... It sure aint in Oklahoma.

You have some very nice goods.

I put a 4x on my 77/22... a Simmons Whitail... I think that was about $50 bucks a few years ago.

Most 22's dont need much more than a 4x fixed... and a 10/22 would justify a $100 unit (TOPS) if you buy into the idea that the optics should cost half of the rifle's cost.

Hillbilly

I will sit out on the back 200 a couple of afternoons with a 1912 vintage, W 1894 SRC in 25-35.

A Marlin 95 in 357 may venture out a day or two also.

Hillbilly

I still have a pair of Redwing linemans boots that I bought when I was first indentured into the line trade. They made pretty good work boots but they did not stand the gaff and my feet hurt (alot) when I climbed in those boots. Used to buy the Pecos pull ons... but they dont make em with the cork s...

Hillbilly

Hope it all works out well...prayers up

Hillbilly

this is the first sunny weekend we have seen in Central OK for a while. Seems we had 3 days of rain per week since August. the counties cleaned up some creek bottoms after the floods a couple of years ago. Glad you guys broke the dry spell in Texas... everyone was dumping beef and prices were way do...

Hillbilly

I really like the Kahr pistols... but just cant shoot any gun that I cant get more than 3 fingers om

That looks like a dandy... god bless and I hope none of us ever have to fire in anger

Hillbilly

tearing down stuff is better than putting it up.

that got into my snooze time last night too

R7... the saddle I am thinking of was Pawnee Bills saddle... very similar to the lower color picture ... and not quite as much silver as that Myres in the picture.

The 101 show outlasted Col Cody's by several years.... till 1931 or 32

Where do you find all these cool photos anyway...keep em coming.

Hillbilly

if you examine a lot of pre 1940 ...even pre 1960 saddles most will measure in the 14 inch range.

The 16, 17 and even 18 inch association tree we can buy today is a by-product of good feeding we partake in these days.

Hillbilly

well ....me and the wife came to a compromise.... the horse is at the trainers for 30 days. Wife says I am too brittle... and even though the deductable is caught up she says I am a pain in the butt when I am medicated. We were doing very well on the ground work... and he was letting me lay over his...

Hillbilly

any given day I ride horses that vary in height from near 17 hands down to 14.... my stirrups never change. I guess my pants will always be a 31inch inseam... those old saddle stirrup leathers had laces for adjustment... the blevins buckle is a fairly recent invention. I have repaired a few of those...

Hillbilly

I dont read much into the way he's holding the reins... the horse is in a snaffle and it's not uncommon to ride a snaffle with 2 hands. I think that kid is just out for a ride... he looks like he's been on that horse alot too me. That horse has some of that faulty conformation we were looking at the...

Hillbilly

I think that saddle is on display in the lobby of that hotel.... down in the FT Worth Stockyards.

Hillbilly

take this opinion for what it's worth.... if you can "kill" a paper plate with your rifle at 100 yards... deer or whatever else you shoot within the power range of the cartridge will make meat. Looks like you have a good shooter. I suppose you could play around with barrel bands and things...

I lost a whole Mossberg 500 in a gun store break-in. (3 years or so now). They gang was all caught and over 30 guns recovered within a week of the break in. Last I heard, it's still in evidence holding. I got a wad of paperwork from the Federal and State courts that has kept me apprised of the statu...

some one asked about the 70's.... yea... it was great. The Snap-ON tool and Ridged Tool Company posters would be regualted as "soft- porn" and barred from every workplace with HR department in todays PC world. Winchester had a full line of pin-up girl media back then... They sent some pret...

Insurance companies like to "code" everthing... if they dont get paid it dont get done. Most good western wears stores will keep a hat finisher on staff.... out here lot's of stores order hats with no crease... and the store will crease and roll it anyway you want. If you wear a "Gus&...

Wow Joe... Good luck and God Bless... prayers sent. If you get past the "cure" things tend to work out these days.

Edit: As I understand it...you don't want a compass needle near a piece of metal? Always wondered about having a compass on a firearm. I was always taught to be well away from a vehicle or metal when taking a compass reading. Just thinking out loud but maybe not a concern. If your only a little bit...

Good Job! I note the seller is Alpena MI. I used to live in MI... and that state is flush with Winchesters. SRCs are kinda rare--- but the "eastern carbine" is everyplace. Every gun shop in the state usually has a nice 94 or 2 on the rack. Kids trade granpa's or dads gun in for some magna ...

Hillbilly

SW prototyped a few 30 carbine revolvers for the US Army during WW2... rejected out of hand at the early trials... to loud and too much muzzle blast,
(Supica and Nahause's SW reference book)

I understand at least one of the 30carbine cal N frames is in a collection.

Hillbilly

I guess "hex" sounds cooler than "oct" to the unknowing.

Besides... whats a couple of flat sides between friends?

Mike Judge's, "Idiocracy" .... the future is closer than we think fellas.

Hillbilly

it sold for over 7 grand...Yikes!

I like mine better... about $450 with a few bumps and bruises.

Hillbilly

Long flutes are pretty rare... if it sells I bet it brings over $3500.

That's not a bad looking gun.

Hillbilly

Me too...9-9-59... that makes me ahhh...emmm ...errrr? 50?

A well dressed police buddy movie. Great to watch visually... I could have done without Renee Z.

Other than that... pretty good movie

Nice!
