Geeze Louise ya'll are right there just seems to be a snag in the eddy on a particular word and/or its application. I could make the argument that no firearm is accurate w/o human participation because it can't load, aim & fire itself. All firearms, in this context, are nuttin' more than extensi...

Nixterdemus

It's all good guys & I thank one n all for their perspective response. In pistolas 50'ps is thrown out as a somewhat standard increase for an additional inch of brl up to a point. I'll speculate that from 16 to 20 there isn't quite 200'ps and from 20-24'ps there would be even less in your run of...

I'm a tad old to be quotin' these fellers, however I think the Beastie Boys said it best:

"You gotta fight, for your right, to PAR-R-R-R-R-Tay"...

Sometimes a little levity goes a long ways.

I like my 30" brl mod 37 scattergun. Long, lean, light & I couldn't imagine shooting a 3 or 3.5" shell in something similair on a regular basis.

I might go for a 45 Colt in a 28-30" brl...

Nixterdemus

The 24" does look kewl and I personally like the 20" for increased capacity or less tension on the mag spring and the report is not quite as loud w/longer brl. As previously stated, I'd lop off some of the stock if I found need of a shorter carbine and maintain the 20". I'm giving ser...

Nixterdemus

Even Rossi won't offer the 480 or 454 in a 24" & those would be rounds that could benefit from the extra length. Most of what I read sez 16" is plenty and there's a little gain going to 20", but for the most part the extra two round capacity and quieter report seem to be more adva...

Congrats to the winners! Is there a sticky here on this site w/some of the various lever gun books that might be available through Amazon? I wouldn't mind ordering a used book or two covering different models or factual aspects of the lever be it recent or ancient history. Lever guns R us, lever gun...

Nixterdemus

A most courteous and generous offer. Thank you for keeping the rest of the Empire, along w/rambunctious colonies, in mind.

If there was a way I'd love to attend and squeeze off a few rounds.

Best part was the broad at the end in the one piece jumpsuit/slacks outfit and it was cut short. Are these kids foolin' 'round or bona fide thugs? Granted that is the UK and since you can't arm yourself w/firearm you knew knives, hatchets, chains, baseball bats, tire irons and rocks were going to co...

Nixterdemus

I ordered two Puma/Rossi levers and neither looked like the pictures, but they were the correct model. A carbine is roughly a pound and a half lighter than a rifle, but the nose heavy octagon brl rifle should be easier to hold on target. Pictures threw me off till I realized that the magazine tube w...

Nixterdemus

I may be wrong. but I don't think Rossi makes a 24" round barrel just like they don't make a 16" octagon brl short rifle. Rnd brl is carbine and octagon brl is rifle. The buttstock is one inch longer on the oct brl rifle producing one inch overall longer length over the rnd brl carbine. As...

Nixterdemus

How much drop at 550 yards?

Nixterdemus

That makes sense w/shotgun pad. I would try to use that w/20" brl if I wanted a shorter overall length before dropping 4" of brl to the 16". It wouldn't look correct either, but in that case I would take function over form coz I really like the 20" brl and could probably get with...

Nixterdemus

Thanks for the advice Rodeo. I am not nor ever will be any part of a straw purchase. I can buy and gift as an American to family members the last time I checked. Howevah, I think if I buy two pistolas in a week the goobermint wants to know if I'm arming a billhilly militia... Nate, proportional is t...

CD AW & Tactical are manufactured in Turkey by Akkar. The tactical looks kewl, but I'm old school. Don't know what I'd do w/pistol grip. Folks seem to think that the AW is patterned after the 870. I'm not a blk gun guy. I like 'em shiny. I do like Ghost Ring sights though. I'd prefer they see me...

Nixterdemus

I don't know coz I'm dumb as a rock, but if I was looking for a more common caliber rifle I'd pick somethin' other than the 45 Colt.

I'd go waly-world ammo 357/44mag. I have seen cowboy 44spl though no 45 Colt at my W-W.

Maybe you should swap me your rifle for a 45 colt rifle sans engraving...

Nixterdemus

All weather makes sense. All this time I was shootin' fer Awesomely Wicked ! Ha. One is a gift and the other one might become trade fodder or, if it sits around long enough, a parts/replacement piece. It might benefit w/slug accuracy if I modded a tad. Whatcha think about a tang sight? If they're go...

Nixterdemus

http://www.charlesdaly.com/fpump.asp Not quite sure what the AW stands for on this CD offering. Yep, Chuck don't make doodley, but imports someone else and this is a Turkish 870 look-a-like. Anywho, as blasphemous as talkin' about pumps may be, anyone have any experience w/one of these? I've read go...

Nixterdemus

I like the shorter stocks. Everyone has their own feel. Steve, I noticed that my carbine had a roughly 1" shorter butt stock than the short rifle. Hanzerik, your short rifle looks good w/16" to me coz they both have the same amount of brl sticking out. There's nuttin' "wrong" w/2...

Nixterdemus

That's the rub, two differing length rifles and the same length stock that starts off a little long in the first place. Anywho, Buds answered my e-mail and appeared sincere in helping me so, I mailed them back w/couple of options in light of my circumstances. I'm sure the rifle will function fine. J...

Nixterdemus

Of course my main issue is matching up the wrong pic and sometimes descriptions. They also listed the short rifle description as 1.5" shorter than the round brl carbine, go figure. Compared to the 20" rnd brl carbine the 20" short rifle w/super long forend stock is one ugly duckling, ...

Nixterdemus

Thanks Steve. As stated the carbine looks fine, but my brother doesn't need a 45 Colt. That's why I order him a 44 mag so he could pick up ammo @ Waly-World. Ever time I look at the short octagon I think mini-Mannlicher... It does have two different size screws behind the hammer so I guess I could m...

Nixterdemus

I bought a 20" octagon 44 mag for my brother. However, the pic at BudsGuns shows a 24" rifle. The forearm stock is the same length so now, on the 20" short brl, it appears to be a 3/4 Mannlicher, almost. The price was right, but this changes the entire look. I can understand the rear ...

Nixterdemus

Nice pics. Thanks for step back in time along w/first hand knowledge.

Nixterdemus

The last bear I saw in these parts was 35 yrs ago. I understand and appreciate the increased MV & corresponding ME from the longer brl. For a pistola cartridge the 357 shines as an affordable, flat shooting, lethal round w/virtually no recoil. I was looking at the 480 ammo, though costly & n...

Nixterdemus

Thanks for sharing. That's one slick Marlin.

What you ballpark the total package, more or less, from scratch buying the lever from Buds?

I like the 45 spl concept and what's not to like about being able to load extra rounds?

Nixterdemus

It was my understanding that the Buffalo weren't elusive prey to the meat or skin hunter. As I recall reading they rode up within range and shot as many as they felt like skinning. Would seem to be the equivalent of shooting cows in a field. ------------------- Da only tang I hate worse dan coppers ...

I hear ya... barely! I have earplugs and the earphone gizmos and they're great for plinkin'. I use them as often as possible. I won't hardly shoot 22 LR outa my Remington coz shorts are so quiet and in a wheelgun I use CB caps almost exclusively coz I like to shoot them w/nothing in or on my ears. I...

Nixterdemus

Thanks again for the response gents. I have several hundred rounds of 357 and don't hardly shoot them in a pistola coz as I age I prefer the low pressure thump of a larger caliber to the high pressure crack of a magnum. Granted, a longer barreled rifle will tame that noise from the shooter better th...

Nixterdemus

So I just joined the lever action class w/45 Colt. Now that the 480 is DQ'd and all the affordable stock of Puma/Rossi is dwindling I need some help deciding on what else to buy. I like the 357 ballistics, availability and price, however I also like the thought of the large, low pressure 480. I have...

Always enjoyed his performance as "Bat" and the master of suave in Burke’s Law. His characters kinda reminded me of Dino in film w/o the comic relief of Matt Helm. James Garner also played similar roles well.

Nixterdemus

Thanks for the pic Chas and others. I ordered the 44 mag case finish like that from Buds and your pic is better than theirs. I was torn betwixt the 44 & 357, but wasn't sure how the rifle handled Blazer AL ammo. Of course now I'm trying to justify/rationalize buying one in 357. I already had a s...
