Now you got me wanting a double again, I hadn't thought about that all day! What do your peers think of the Pyrodex loads?

I guess that would mean there aren't too many feral house cats running around!

I'm sorry, I guess your original post goes beyond the actual sling. The Montana sling comes with Uncle Mike sling swivels that attach to standard sling studs. It's just made in such a way that it doesn't use any buckles or other hardware for adjustment or to attach to the swivels. All that being sai...

Doesn't look like any fun. I've got relative in the Tulsa area. Prayers said!

That's just an unbelievable display of skill! Any estimates on how much time and money you have wrapped up in that project?

For those of you who live close to Indianapolis or may be passing through, from Feb 6 to April 18, 2010 there will be an interesting display of sixguns at the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art. The museum itself is well worth seeing and the display looks to be very cool! http://ww...

I just put a Montana sling on my 1894 Marlin. I think it is very slick and unique looking. It has no hardware beyond the sling swivels themselves. It is well worth the $32 dollars I paid.

Nath, I love you Man, in a very brotherly, totally hetero sort of way!

Thanks for the reminder, Paul. There's lots of room for misunderstandings here. An internet forum is a poor method of communication when compared to a face to face/one on one conversation.

I was hoping some one would have something to say on this topic as I've also played with the idea of getting one of the "new" model 30s. They seem a little rough but I'm sure they could be cleaned up. They look like a lot of fun, but then anything with a barrel and a trigger looks fun to m...

I think you did all right on the trade especially with the heads thrown in. My first question is how long is the barrel. A straight grip Mountie model will have a 20" barrel and the standard pistol grip 39a (or Golden 39a) will have a 24" barrel. Was someone trying to convert this rifle to...

Welcome to the forum! as others have pointed out, 30-30 will be the most logical choice if you don't want to reload. The last time I bought over the counter ammo was for the 30-30, it was cheaper than 223 at that time and they had plenty of 30-30. The 223, not so much. Besides,it will be easier to f...

I had a Contender with a 45-70 barrel, it did not feel like a .357!

Wow, that's very nice!

Does anyone besides TedH actually know what the picture was or why it was deleted because I've posted pictures like this with no problems or complaints?

I just got a Skinner sight for my Marlin 1894 in 44 mag. I really like it's steamlined nature and it didn't require adding holes to my new Marlin. I have a Williams FP on my Marlin 1895, it has a wider range of adjustment than the Skinner, but that only matters if you're shooting a wide range of amm...

I don't have that kind of cash laying around for gun purchases, but I think I would rather spend the money on the BHA carbine than one of the fancy replicas that Winchester is selling. That's assuming the people at BHA know what they are doing.

Great rifle, great report! Those who don't go out in pursuit of Mr. Bushytail just don't know what theyre missing.

JReed if it's not too late, look for a used washer/dryer set on Craigslist or somewhere else. People are always selling almost new appliances because they don't like the color or for some other reason. I had a similar situation with our kitchen stove right around Christmas. Long story short we found...

I believe that is called a wels catfish. I saw an Animal Planet show about them.

That photo just became the new wallpaper on my desktop, thanks!

Very nice, but then mine was made around the same time. When my dad and I went to the store he gave me the choice between the 39a and a Remington pump 22. Man, I'm glad I made the right choice!

My wife is on one, her brother is on one, her dad is on one, and her mom is on one. Seems like an epidemic. They definitely help, though.

I'm definitely guilty of being rabidly Pro-American when spending my money, I won't apologize for that. I'm also guilty of thinking every gun manufacturer must be marketing their product strictly for the U.S. I'm sure market restrictions, tariffs, and firearm regulations in other countries could mak...

Just one final note before I lock this thread, whoops, sorry for a second there I thought I was a moderator. The current Marlin 336 is still with a micro-groove barrel, but the XLR line is advertised as ballard cut rifling.

nemhed

Sarge, Besides the trigger block safety actuated by the lever that was original to the design, it has the cross bolt safety and the Taurus hammer lock safety. That's about two to many for me. Joe Amen, brother! I kind of like the Rio Grande, assuming it's not cluttered up with 14 safeties that can'...

Well make sure you post some pictures of that little baby when you get her home!

nemhed

The best reasons for buying a micro-grooved Marlin is someone selling it cheap because it has a micro-grooved barrel, and most of the micro-grooved leverguns don't have the silly cross-bolt safety

I've never been much of a shotgunner. At last count I've owned 6 shotguns in the last 20 years all of which were traded off for some other purchase. I now have an 870 with a 26'' field barrel and 21" turkey barrel. It was eye opening to me how many number 5 pellets I can put into a 30" cir...

The lever is obviously a Marlin clone. Around here Marlin 336 variations are relatively inexpensive, and probably in less demand when compared to Marlins other leverguns. I don't get why they would go head to head with Marlin with that model. They surely have the engineering and manufacturing capabi...

My vote is an 1894 Marlin!

The only thing I'm upset about is I haven't gotten a chance to shoot my rifle with my new Skinner sights!

I've purchased 2 1894 Marlins in the past two years. My .357 was purchased just right around the time the buyout was announced and is pre-Remington, the 44 mag was purchased about one year ago, after the take over. I love both of them. I have had no functioning problems, they both shoot very well wi...

I would most value the opinion of the person who has actually spent some time hunting with the 300 Savage and actually put some meat in the freezer with one. Uncle Jerry's was the only statement that didn't sound like it came out of a book or magazine. Keep us posted on your results.

I bought my first Fadala book when I got into muzzleloaders. As I've discovered, Sam has published books covering a wide range of subjects including Western fiction, traditional archery, wildgame cooking, hunting, wildgame watching, as well as the firearm related books.

I picked up two new books this evening at a discount book store. They had a pretty large selection of gun and sporting books. The two that caught my eye were "Rifle Guide" copyright 1993 and "Legendary Sporting Rifles" copyright 1992, by by Sam Fadala. I'm pretty fond of his work...

I don't know if it entirely related to the magazine but my Nylon 66 is the slickest semi auto .22 I've ever shot. It seems to be a more intuitive design in that the rounds don't have to change direction when being fed into the action.

nemhed

I just received the Skinner front post and rear peep sight that I ordered 48 HOURS AGO for my Marlin 1894. Unbelievably fast service, I can't wait to install them. I probably won't get to shoot any this weekend since I'll be spending tomorrow at the gunshow in Indy.

Looks like a good choice IMHO.

In my experience the better the quality of epoxy he used and the "better" he did prepping the surfaces, the harder this is going to be to clean up. Most solvents probably won't touch the epoxy and heat usually makes a bigger mess, it just depends on what was used. I 've had success chillin...

This is getting a little further off topic, but if any of you are interested Google "persistance hunting" and "ultramarathon". A properly motivated human can cover a lot of ground in a day (or week).

Welcome to the forum! Do a search on this subject, it's been discussed here before ad nauseum. Steve pretty much summed it up.
