Looks like a Remington model 12, probably a 22 rifle. They were produced from 1909 to 1936.

Kirk, Nice shooting! What kind of rest were you using? :mrgreen: GB Your eyes are still good I see. While my guns will do 2 or less, I can't anymore. Looks like I'm gonna have to d & t those 1886's and 1873's and mount some scopes on 'em.--------------6 Six, I heard a rumor that you can mount a ...

Recently, I ran into a problem with a 1951 Winchester 94. The action popped open too easily. I posted the problem on this board and asked how common it is. The consensus of the responses was that it happens but is not that that common. Yesterday I had the chance to visit a couple of pawn shops that ...

Mudpuppy Welcome to the forum. Collectively there is more knowledge about leverguns on this web site than anywhere else I have found on the net. I found this site in ~2007 when I was, like you are now, looking for information about my 1886 in 40-82 caliber. I didn't start out with any ammo, but I fo...

Very nice work! The old adage to measure twice and cut once is especially true with gunstock work. You have inspired me to attack a cracked 94 stock that I have been avoiding for a year or so. Thanks for posting.

I have been fly fishing since 1974. I was hooked (so to speak) after the first trip. Since then I have caught all kinds of fish on flies. I've caught trout, salmon and steelhead on flies. Some of the other species caught were blue gills, crappie, bass, carp, whitefish, chubs, catfish and suckers. I ...

So, what brand epoxy or glue should I use?

I'd glue it with Elmers woodworking glue and I have used 10 minute epoxy that I got at the hardware store. I like having a few more minutes to work with the piece before it sets up.

I anneal my 40-82 brass after about 10-15 reloads. It is resized 45-90 starline brass. I didn't have to anneal before resizing. The method I use is to stand the brass up in a pot of water. Only the top .75" is exposed above the water. I heat the exposed brass to a dull red and tip it over into ...

Nice old rifle! I understand your hesitation in taking this on, but from what I can see, anything you do is not visible from the exterior of the stock. How tightly does the chip fit to the stock? If it is tight, it is a simple thing to glue it with woodworkers glue. Does the bottom of the split in t...

Mike will be missed. R.I.P.

Nath,
I read and reread your post while I pondered the problem. I finally did what you described. I pulled the bolt pin and sure enough, it locked up tight.
My question is, when you relieved the pin, did you enlarge the hole in the lever evenly from all sides, or did you take it out from one side?

geobru

These are pics I took of the offending part. It is the shiny strip in the middle lower part of the piece.

geobru

Are you talking about when you fire it the lever is forced open? No, this occurs when the lever is closed and the hammer is all the way down. I took the gun apart and it appears that the corner of the notch where the friction stud slides into on the lower tang is rounded off. Not a lot, but apparen...

If the scope/sights are lined up 4" above the top of the frame, you should be in good shape. Where guys err is thinking that just because they can see the target the bullet will clear. A bit of tape 4" up on the rods is a good reminder of where you are relative to the frame. Oh and if you ...

What is the cause of a 94 winchester lever popping open? Is it an adjustment or is there a part that is worn and needs to be replaced?

I figure that this is fairly common in the older guns. What say you?

Blaine, thats where I was at when I saw it. I would've looked at it a lot closer if i knew then what I know now!

$510? Is the rifle otherwise in good working order? You can make brass from the .220 Swift. Man.... Yeah, I know... They had the gun zip tied, so I couldn't work the action or look at the bore, so the functionality isn't known. I'd be interested, but I'm working toward something else right noe.

Actually, I think the rear sight is the right sight, just missing pieces.

Goog looking rifle!

I have a couple of bricks of Red and White box CCI Minimags from the early 70's. IIRC, they were 8 something per brick on sale. I used to wait for the 22 lr wildcats to go on sale for $4.90 per brick. Recently, I was looking for some Winchester brass and found a couple of boxes of yellow box Super_X...

. My WAG is that it's been barreled using a .236 Lee straight-pull barrel. . Pete, Good guess. I think that is what happened. The rifle is in the Lacey WA Cabelas with a price of $510. I was fondling the levers on the used gun rack when I spotted it. I had never seen a 236 USN before. I didn't look...

I saw a rifle today that left me scratching my head. It was an 1895 Winchester lever action in 236 US Navy (6mm). Is it for real? I did a quick search to see what calibers it came in and that was not one of them. Any ideas?

Hobie, thanks for your dilligent efforts.

Nice gun. A word of warning, don't wear the finish off the rifle from excessive fondling! It is easy to do, cause every time you think about it, you will have to go back to the gun safe to make sure it is still there and while you are at it, you will have to throw it up to your shoulder again.....an...

Most of the game I have shot was with a BLR in 308 caliber. Before I started to handload, I used remington green box ammo. 150 grain for deer and 180 grain for elk. The only time that I didn't get the performance that I wanted was when I shot a bull elk that was quartering to me, standing uphill at ...

The 88 is a fine gun, and here are some things I have read about them. Some of the very early models had a problem with the firing pin breaking (most have the redesigned firing pin installed.), and some also had a small cut out in the wood at the top of the wrist instead of the large round cutout.

I can sympathize with this line of thinking. In Washington, there is a million plus acres of public land. There is game there, but there is not a lot of road access to much of it. IF a person is physically able, there are many places to have a quality hunt with little or no company. My problem is th...
