Based upon that second picture. The lever is about the same lenght as the action. I believe it is not an 1894. I have a 1893 TD with 28" barrel in the locker. The barrel is more liikely a 30" if I compare the lenght of the shotgun barrels to the rifle barrel. Most BP shotguns that I have h...

Marlin 1893 with a 28" barrel. I can not read the caliber stamped on the barrel!

After the History Channel show on the Klondike, I thought maybe some REAL pictures from the Klondike might be of interest. There is one levergun in one of the pictures, so it is on topic!

The smoke alarm in Dad's basement started beeping just tonight during the news. I replaced the battery which still had 9.63 volts and installed it in a battery tester whose battery read 8.3 volts.

He did not avoid the draft. There are lots of people who did avoid the draft as draft dodgers. He did not serve which is different. He has changed the story of what he did over the years as the whim took him. This is from Fact Checker's site and I found most sites were stating the same thing. On som...

That is a Cooey. It appears to have the same stock as the Model 78 target rifle. This stock version used from 1939 to 41. It was not resumed production after the war.

With my Ruger #1, I settled on 12 grs of W296, Hornady 40 gr VMax, CCI-BR4 primer. 1 to 1 1/4" groups most days. A departed friend had a Martini 12/15 converted to 22K-Hornet and his load was the same except 12.5 grs of W296. Sub 1" most days with the Martini. I am still jealous. I want th...

To make things worst, the ethanol industry wants to increase the mix to 15%. This will KILL every gasoline engine fuel system other than the Flexfuel E85s.

The auto makers are trying to stop this, with good reason.

I was talking to a friend of mine on Saturday, who lives in Basildon, he mentioned that PM Cameron was told by locals in the hard hit area that they had not seen any help what so ever.

The advantage to the 2" focuser, is the use of wide field eyepieces. The field stop in 1.25" eyepieces is 27 mm while 2" is closer to 43 mm. It all depends on the f ratio of the primary mirror. Complex math but many discussions about it on line. Pierre Update I found this. Televue and...

It is really going to depend on your budget. You also look at a good set of binoculars in the $200 plus range. Something like Ultima 8X56 by Celestron. I would not go higher than 11X80 as the size and weight starts to be troublesome. The 4.5"/115mm mirror is the common setup used in the old Tas...

No real issues as they are the same for any truss scope. Need a shroud to block the stray light around the focuser. My shroud extends to the mirror box. Naturally a support system for that shroud at the focus board. Secondary support. I have a new curved support to try. The tubes have to be stiff. S...

First thing I did with that BIG RED tube was cut about 5 inches off the top of that it would fit on the back seat of my car. Later I tried a split tube.

That steamer likely weighs a WHOLE lot more than the JD and with the large diameter wheels, it has a lot more traction as noted in earlier post.

An idea that could help, is a solar panel in the window. This assumes that you are parking in the sun of course. A 5 watt unit is about a foot square.

I can not help much either. My Sav 99 in my avatar is 250-3000. It has the slow twist. The ammo that I was using is old vintage stuff. I still have a box left which I set aside.

If you have a Dremel or equivalent, use a diamond burr with light oil or water to lube and cool the burr. Go down the center and grind it out. You can usually get a set of 30 for about $10-40 depending of the quality. The carbide idea is good, also you can use a broken carbide tool and grind a pyram...

I agree about watch what you are looking at. A diamond in the rough does happen. When you are looking at Cooeys, there is a booklet by Museum Restoration Service called "Cooey Firearms Made In Canada 1919-1979 by John A. Belton. It is # 28 in Historical Arms Series. Their webpage: http://www.ma...

As you stated you do not reload this will be of no use to you.

As an experiment, years ago I reformed some surplus 223 stuff that was laying around gathering dust. After trimming the necks and determining the interior capacity of the cases. I reloaded with a mid power load and fired a good group.
