169 views and 6 responses as of 0630 on 20 June. That means at least 163 of you went to the Midway site and searched "Wrangler II" to see if the 38-55 barrels are still available. More like 169, probably. ;) As for what Darnell's mixer is worth, well, take a garden variety 94 AE and add a ...

At the PGCA show in Tarentum, PA yesterday I spotted a 16" trapper-style Winchester 94 AE in 38-55, the barrel marked "Wrangler II." The idea of a 16" 38-55 immediately appealed to me. The receiver was a plain AE, no safety anywhere. It wore a regular loop lever. The furniture wa...

I looked at a stainless Montado and a USFA Rodeo Storekeeper side by side and bought the USFA because I could NOT see the sights on the stainless Montado, particularly the rear sight. In contrast, the USFA Storekeeper's sights jumped out at me, and it went "click" four times if I cocked th...

Stew: I never thought I'd get into a single shot but after buying a Pedersoli Sharps 1874 repro a number of years ago I sort of got hooked and kept an eye open for a reasonably-priced No 1 in 45-70.

The most interesting things I've found while walking around the woods in northern PA were: A ledger or logbook/diary of some sort kept by the cook of a late 1800s logging camp.

Thank you all for the comments! I was excited to get (mine) to shoot 220s at 2000 fps much more cheaply than one can do so in .303 Brit. Inquiring minds would like to know, Hobie.

Some time ago I sold off a few duplicates and other firearms in which I lost interest (seemed like a good idea to buy them at the time, though) and finally decided to get into the 30-40 cartridge, which was on my "Bucket List." I found this NIB Browning 1895 in 30-40 being walked around a ...

IIWM, I'd want something to shoot and shoot frequently, and I'd spend a lot less $$$ on a modern replica from Pedersoli that has the benefit of CNC machining and modern metallurgy, in either 45-70 or 45-90.

A 1989 Wrangler is NOT an "old" Jeep.

MB, M38, M38A1, CJ2A, CJ3B, FC150, FC170, CJ5, CJ6, Station Wagon, etc. -- THOSE are old Jeeps.

Congrats on the successful surgery!

It's not 4.7; we're talking Gun Math here.

He means a Rem 141 Pump chambered for 30 Rem.

Example: 141/35 = Rem 141 in 35 Rem, not 4.028.

What kind of groups were getting at 100 yards with it sandbagged? That was a darn good shooting 25. Sandbagged at 25 yds, the Model 25 was ORH, about 3/4 of an inch or so. Sandbagged at 100 yds, it would do 1.5" if I did my part. That Model 25-2 impressed me so much that I've acquired two more...

Well the quickest way and likely the one most used is to remove the piston and replace the piston nut with a solid piece. I'm wondering, does New Jersey law require a staked, soldered, welded, or epoxied gas piston nut? Can't find any reference on line so far. A disassembly of the Carbine will tell...

Gunsmith and author Roy Dunlap did extensive testing on WWII military bolt action rifles following that war, intentionally blowing up guns and examining the results.

The top two strongest bolt actions?

1) Japanese Type 99
2) Mosin Nagant

Honorable mention:

3) 98 Mauser
4) 1903 Springfield

Neither. I worked on a Rossi Ranch Hand for a local dealer and had the opportunity to fire it once when I was at the club at the same time as the buyer. It's a toy, IMO.
