Could we get a range report when you have a chance?
Thanks.

Frank V

Congratulations, that's a pretty rifle. Bet it's fun too.
Let us know how it shoots when you get it to the range please.
Thanks

Frank V

Okayyyyy I tried it self rising flour & heavy whipping cream. :D I mixed one cup of self rising flour & one cup of heavy whipping cream. I got a bunch of dough that looked like biscuit mix. I made 5 biscuits by hand, put the dough in a cast iron frying pan, baked at 350 for 10 minutes then d...

Frank V

Ahhhh yes muzzlems the gentile religion yea right!

Frank V

Method doesn't matter to me.
What is sad is convicted murders sitting on death row for 25 years.

Frank V

That is a pretty rifle & the .45-70 is an awesome cartridge.
Thanks for sharing with us.

Frank V

Durn I forgot to get the self rising flour & heavy cream.

I am going to try it though.

It is a great book, full of interesting stories and facts about how folks lived "back then", about halfway through it now.

Sounds great one of those books you just can't put down?

Frank V

Have you started your new book yet? Sounds interesting.

Frank V

Shelf space? ???

What's that?

Frank V

Nice catch sometimes we do strike it rich at a yard sale.
I have a friend who is up early every Sat. going to yard sales.
He puts in the time & sometimes scores.

Frank V

Thanks everyone, I appreciate everyone not bashing one brand or the other. That's what I was after with learning about the Henry. Seems the big differences are weight & loading through the tubular magazine. Personal preference it seems, with maybe an advantage for defense with the loading gate. ...

Frank V

Rugers are special. The New Vaquero gives almost Colt like feeling & has all the safety features.

Frank V

Thanks BlaineG.
Gonna have to try them.

Frank V

Well there is the Marlin 94

They are fantastic guns!

Frank V

I'm not wanting to start a fight, I'd just like to know from those who use each how you like them. I'm the first to say I have no experience with the Henry .45-70 lever, Marlin yes. I would like to say I've handled a Henry but never shot one. They feel a little heavier than the Marlin, & the fit...

Frank V

JerryB, congratulations those single six's are fantastic guns & the three screws are special.

Sixgun, that flatgate is fantastic. I had one once but then I had two so traded the flatgate. Wish I'd kept it!
Thanks for sharing.

Frank V

BlaineG,

Thanks I was wondering about temp. do you cover your skillet?
Taking them out when golden brown sounds like maybe not.
Thanks.

I am going to have to try that one.
Thanks

Years ago I had a 94 Win in .44 Mag. It was a lot of fun, but got sold.

Frank V

Henry makes a very good lever action. Their .45-70 is heavier than the Marlin 95, but a nice rifle anyway. Extra weight tames recoil but makes packing all day in the woods more tiresome.
The .22s I've seen & shot all shot exceptionaly well. I'd like the chance to shoot their .45-70.

Isn't that the pits.
I kind of like them?

Frank V

Happy Birthday fellows!

Frank V

Coming back to look again. There's no turn line on the cylinder great. Never lower the hammer on a Colt or replica from half cock. That's what puts the turn line on the cylinder. It causes the locking bolt to drop between the locking notches & when the cylinder is turned to lock it it'll scratch...

Frank V

We have a lot of store bought light loads for the .44 mag. They are called .44 Specials & work just fine. I've probably fired as many or more .44 Specials in the .44 mag as I have magnums. Clean the chambers afterward & you are good to go. The problem is we don't find them as cheap as say t...

HE he he I'm glad the abortion bunch got all tightened up does them good.
One day they'll learn a baby is a baby at conception.
I liked the commercial & wish Frito great sales from it.

Frank V

I saw it during the super bowl. My Wife & her girlfriend thought it was hillarious.

Frank V

Rube, good for you. Once you start reloading for the .44 Mag you will see what a great cartridge it is. It is as versatile as most any cartridge & can be loaded from light loads almost in the .38 Special range to full house magnums. 8) You will like it, then if you get into casting your own bull...

Frank V

Some of the Colt replicas are good guns.
That one looks nice. I'm probably not the only one who'd like a range report when you get it to the range?
The .38WCF is a very interesting cartridge too.
Congratulations.
Thanks for sharing.

Frank V

Ya done good buddy. I might suggest you send that Ruger right to magna-port. I bought one of the first 44 mags when they started offering the rounded triggerguard and five shots into the first cylinder full I put it down and said to my buddy. That Bi^* is going to magnaport tomorrow. When it cam ba...

why is it, that when I squirrel away a few dollars to buy a new shooter...... SOMETHING BREAKS ON MY TRUCK? Lost my front brakes on my truck last night on the way home from work :x My left front caliper sprung a leak Friday on my Expedition. That can be nerve wracking when you have to push that ped...

It aint easy to stop an F350......Darn napa calipers seized up....and of course screwed up the roters

That's no fun. I really dislike it when a vehicle acts up, it's usually not cheap!

Frank V

Yeoch, I'd sure hate to be without brakes......
The rifle can come later? Some of the Savages & Marlins aren't too expensive & they shoot really well!

Frank V

Rats tha's the way of vehicles. Always cost money.

Frank V

Never can tell when a stash of ammo will come in handy.

Nice Nath.
The CZ is a very fine rifle.

I think so too!

I'll second or third or fourth the Ruger 77/22. Those I've seen are tack drivers. Not cheap, but real rifles!

Frank V

In a way, this reminds me of my Dad's description of his bayonet instruction during basic training in 1943. The instructor told them that on occasion your bayonet will hang up in the body of your foe, and if it did the solution was to fire a round and let the recoil dislodge it. Dad's question to h...

Kind of nice!

Frank V

Great, we'll be waiting for a report on your progress.

I think you have gotten a nice rifle congratulations. You can restore it or leave it as is & either way you'll have a good rifle.
I'd be interested in hearing how well it shoots when you get it to the range.

Frank V

crs
You are going to enjoy those Rem. .458 405gr JSP bullets. I've used them for a long time in the .45-70 & even in a .458 before it's recoil got to me. They are accurate in my rifle & one day I hope to get an Elk with them.

Frank V

J Miller While I like the Marlins 94, 336, & 95, (same as the 336) not all rifles fit all people. If a gun doesn't fit you you won't shoot it well & if it batters you you will shoot it worse. If you like leverguns maybe you could find someone who can fit it to you. Have you considered or tr...

This is a good substitute, and you'll never be looking for bullets again. I've pushed these as hard as my shoulder wanted, and they shoot great. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/632708/rcbs-1-cavity-bullet-mold-45-405-fn-45-caliber-458-diameter-405-grain-flat-nose-gas-check I have read great things...

My Wife bought me a Lee 500gr FP GC mold for Christmas I hope to cast some bullets of my own this spring when the weather warms up.
