I will keep a eye out for them up here I remember in the 80s you could not buy a BRNO in the U.S or at least they were hard to get so I was told?I met a guy from Texas buying CZ75s at the gun show now things have changed and I doubt it would make sence to cross border shop for guns dam Goverment rul...

80% wood 20% NG. Mild winter this year only really cold back in Dec a few -40° nights Large woodstove in Shop and a Stove and Fireplace in the home can keep the home at 75° even on the coldest nights. We use about 6 cords of Pine a year for the house and 1.5 for the shop. I love cutting firewood but...

Now you have a Caribou rifle. lol

Arsenic Is added to raise the surface tension so the shot will be round not for its hardness. Shot containing Arsenic Will harden if dropped into water while at a very high temp though (as in oven heat treating). Some of the most accurate cast bullet alloy I have used was 10LB wheel weight metal + ...

I will try and reply to all three of the above ? It's wichester shot Extra hard is all I know from going by the Canvas sack it came in. It's also got a AAA on the botom of the bag. I have always used number 5 in a 12ga just works for me Tried 7.5s but had too many cripples that was before the dog th...

I was given a 25lb bag of Number 8 (my number key is not working)Shot. It's Wichester extra hard lead shot I do not reload shotgun shells. I plan on melting it down to make bullets,seems like a nice source of clean lead think it is harder the wheel wights? Makes me want to dust off the Lee Load all,...

No disrespect, but IMO your problem seems to be based upon you seeking some sort of organized facility, similar to what you might have become accustomed to in Kali. I live in THE smallest state in the US (also one of the more densely-populated), and can always find a place to shoot and/or hunt. As ...

Just be glad you are not in Handgun hating Canada! of course this problem could be solved if we became the republic of Alberta with much closer ties to Montana. You know the only good thing to come out of the East is the Sun!

I just made a 86, 33 Win post a minute ago then I saw this one.
That is one nice rifle!! with the Patina colour and all.
Gee .33 is popular I don't want mine anymore now that I know it's a popular cal yuck, makes me feel like going hunting with a 06 everyone has one.
That is one nice gun again!

Reading the post on modified magazine followers gave me a "brain cramp", so I cut off a .348 case and glued it into a spare follower. Flipping the follower over and installing it case head down solved the gummy tip problem. They now easily load in the tube and cycle perfectly through the ...

I wish the 215 gr. were readily available for prices like the .308 220 gr. I know, when I can find the klingkore soft points they go for around $20.00 + at gun shows for a box of 50 but they are getting really hard to find :cry: . All kksp are Round nose but they hold together very well, dare I say...

How do I post pic's on here? Here's the link for instructions on how to post pictures: http://www.levergunscommunity.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=990 It's listed under the "how to about the forum" sticky. It ain't rocket surgery, I figured it out. Get them pictures posted, we love pictures...

Thanks guy's I can get one from Ontario for $550.00 Canadian I don't think I have to pay tax as Alberta does not have a Sales Tax just the GST at 5 % I took a drive this week to look at a Marlin in 45/70 but it was rust pitted on the outside and for a 5 year old gun looked bad so I passed on it, I n...

How do I post pic's on here? I love my .303 Being Canadian that's what I grew up with. I have lot's of180gr CPE CIL bullets to feed it too, plus some 215gr CRLK anyone know what that means lol.

Fine looking Friend you have! Were you out to shoot some yotes?

I am thinking of getting a Rossi 92 Lever replica in 45 colt how much do they go for in gun shops in the U.S? I would like to hear comments on them too are they any good? I really would rather get it in 44/40 if the 44/40 has the proper barrel and chamber specs it would be more real lol. But Iam wil...

H 450 was one of the best I had tried it is the very best for the 7x57 too, but it has not been made for at least 6 years now. I now use IMR4350sc for my 284 Savage 99 loads, I only shoot 150gr in all my non Magnum 7 mms Just stick to a medium slow powder and you will be okay I here good things abou...

Went to the local shop today and they had a 60% other than the modification, win 73 for a fair price so I bought it. It was inexpensive because some knucklehead years ago rechambered it to 357 mag. They also rebored it and it was done some time ago because the rifling is of an older style. They als...

We have a luge run in a state park here. For the past 1½ years I have been hearing that the Vancouver run was poorly engineered/built and that injuries were inevitable. I get Canadian tv channels where I live. Those folks are very anti-American. My contacts with RCMP & OPP cops when I was a LEO...

I am taking a road trip on Tuesday to buy a Marlin 45/70 in stainless does that count?

Took the new Marlin out last weekend and shot a couple different loads. It had three misfires, all with light primer strikes which fired on the second smack. Most three shot groups were very much stringing vertically with not very impressive accuracy. I found the firing pin was gunked up and sticky...

Good morning And do not forget it was the Canadian Embassy in Iraq that gave refuge & escape to the Embassy staff members when Iraq was turned into the Islamic Terrorist camp it is today during the presidency of Carter. Good neighbors are not always easy to come by and we have one of the best !...

Nice job to our Canadian friends....the Mrs and I are watching the opening ceremonies of the Olympics...gotta admit that some of the singing wasn't quite our thing, and that whole native Indian thing was okay...but we got a kick out of the Newfoundland fiddlers...!!! I remember fondly my stays in B...

I find I have to Smoke my Lee molds more than I do the others to get good bullets.

If I recall correctly, there was a "Mountie" type 39 variant.....the Marlin 1897 Texan. The Texan is essentially the Mountie with a square lever, 20 " octagon barrel, straight stock, Marbles sights and checkering on the forearm and stock handle. Yes the Mountie had a round barrel and...

I am new here so would like to break the ice,love the site! Here is my funny Story. A few years ago I had a Mule Deer Doe tag to fill not a hard job on the ranch I hunt on kinda like shooting fish in a barrel,but I could never get close for a Bow shot. So second last day of the season I take a Savag...

Cooey mod 39 single shot .22, my first gun brings back memory's every time I pull the trigger and the trigger is mighty fine too breaks at 3.5 lbs lot's of over travel but who cares I had it since I was 6 before I got my first pellet gun even. Next and it's a ty would be my BRNO602 in .375 H&H b...

I dont like the glossy finnish of the BLR my only gripe. Okay two gripes what is the twist rate on the .308 barrel? as I have never seen them shoot good with the heavy bullets, But I never shoot anything but 165 in .308 or 06, I don't have a BLR but know many who do and I shoot with them and they al...

That picture looks a lot like this one of antelope that my wife took a couple weeks ago. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l320/feralmerril/WildLifeJan242010127.jpg I love this pic! I live in the Northern Range of the Antelope so we do not have as many as Montana but I have even seen them near Poli...

Kirk, Nice snag with a bit of neat history to go with it. And............what a cool serial number :D I too, prefer the 38-40 much more than the 44-40. Seems like every 38-40 I get has a nice tight .400-.401 bore where 44-40's are all over the map. I'm thinking 7.5 grains of Unique with a 180 cast ...

My fav Mold is a Lee .410 240gr swc for my 41 mag.They don't make it anymore though. With Lyman number 2 alloy it throws bullets that are 246 gr and with Lino 243gr, WW run around 247-249 close enough to 250 lol. I have a lee 115gr 9mm mold that I modded by drilling it out it had a very pointed cray...

Dam I lost my post I made yesterday still new to the site. I really hope they make that bullet in component form for my 33win I have a stock pile of 200gr Hornady's I paid only $8.00 a box for that's $8.00 CDN. It's a light wight 86 with a very thin barrel, and I toy with the idea of a .33win Imp I ...

My brother had a Savage 170 he traded it strait across for a Marlin 45/70 a good deal? :) The 170 is a well built gun I like them more than the Rem pumps I remember the ad they used saying the reciever was machined from a solid block of steel.His was really a CIL rebadged Savage, If you could rebarr...
