I'm thinking about ordering a New Winchester 1892 Takedown with the 20" Octagon barrel in 45LC.......Would be a neat pack gun and I could travel with it on the motorcycle.

Anyone have any experience with the Japanese 1892 rifles?

Hate to Hijack...........But I really, really NEED a take-down lever action rifle, and I had no idea this rifle existed.

As long as the OP doesn't mind, I'd love to see some pictures.............

Nice!............good find!

I have this mount on a GSG 5SD (22RF) so the recoil is negligable........I'm not sure I'd consider using this mount on an AR-10 or 50BMG. So far it has held up great. I think "Tweaking" the rear ring takes some of the stress off the scope tube. To Tweak, put the top ring on the rear mount....

The whole buffalo slaughter was very short lived. The Remington Rolling Block rifle appeared toward the end of the carnage. The sharps was there as a muzzle loader and then as the 1873...... The Sharps also used a much more potent cartridge which the Buffalo Hunters appreciated. If you want to read ...

Shim inside the ring? No.....A small strip of aluminum can material is placed in the fixed bevel of the front ring. I used super glue to hold mine in place. This will shift the front ring to the right, thereby giving you more left windage. I'll try to photograph what I did on mine and post the pict...

Makes me wonder if I can do something like shim the right side of the back ring and the left side of the front. The mount is made out of soft, non hardened aluminum. It will bend quite easily. The rear ring is fixed, the front ring is moveable (if you set it up with the lever opposite the loading g...

Amazing! I bought two of these for my GSG-5SD from Sportsman's Guide and both of them are WAY far right, and my scope and my Red Dot do not have enough clicks to get back on the paper. I took them and "tweaked" the rear ring a bit. I mounted a piece of scope rail in the vice and used a 1&q...

That press is the best bang for the buck in the world of reloading.............

And that box for the die heads is amazing!

NICE!

I think its real interesting that you ask a bunch of folks that like to shoot rifles designed over 100 years ago that mostly shoot cast bullets if they want something to change...............

Amazing that 90% want things to stay the same...................

I finally got out with my rebarreled Marlin1895 in 45-70 to the range. Everything I loaded shot great, but one load was amazing. 405g Cast Performance (.459) over IMR4198 produced this with iron sights at 50 yds. I hade many three shot groups under 2.5" http://images16.fotki.com/v3/photos/2/360...

Was the magazine tube loaded with cartridges. I would think a full load of cartridges would put a lot or weight and pressure against that cap during recoil. Especially since your rifle with a 16" barrel has less weight and mass at recoil. Were you shooting "full house" 454 loads when ...

In 1972, my girlfriend at the time, bought me a brand new Marlin 336 for deer hunting in Maine. (I ended up marrying this gal!) Over the years it shot a number of deer. One day I was driving my ATV out to the hunting area with the Marlin 336 strapped on the front luggage rack. A bit of the stock was...

Thanks for the link............a great read! I have a Marlin 1894CB in 45LC. I load a very stout hunting load for that gun, that many gun scribes assure the Marlin 94 action will easily digest.

I've been a range officer at a public range for over 20 years. I love to give back to the shooting community. But as another poster said, with the aging of America, you got to watch the old folks. They will just walk down a live range. They handle their guns when folks are down range. And when you s...

It is a "tube feed" or you can load it through the loading gate on the side of the receiver. And both 45LC and 454 Casull will load through the side gate. The magazine tube is threaded and it has a spring loaded detent that holds it in position. It is not threaded but as you suggested, lik...

Cruising by a few gun shops on Friday I happened apon a brand new, in the box Puma (Rossi) Winchester M92 in 454 Casull.

FINISHED!!!!!! Took me three hours to get the old barrel off. I didn't want to damage it and I simply could't stop it from turning in the barrel vise.
