Pokey has it I have used one of these many times. Mine came from my grandfather who in the 30 did all the shoes for the family.

We kinda did the same thing by bolting together scrap tires in a 6' section. It really heled quiet down the range.

Jay Leno has one in his garage and was shoing how he uses it to duplicate parts for steam engines. They then sent the duplicate off to the casters and another steamer is up and running.

My Dad's 85 and the last time I saw him he BORROWED a gun from ME!

I could, I did and it worked fine. I am currently making a 31 remington into a 22 long rifle.

My Kayak duck rig is a shotgun mount on the front of the kayak that holds the camoed gun butt toward me. The rear sling swivel is attached to the deck with a light cord. You may find that a mid point attachment for the combat shotguns is what you are looiing for but I foound it unhandy as the cord w...

A lathe or drill press can be used to drill the holes. Use a center on the end where you want the hole to come out and drill half way through from each end. No problem, then inlet and shape the outside of the forearm. A regular drill bit will run true enough if you go slow and clean the chips often.

Looks just like mine. Dad bought it from the NRA in 1950 and gave $17.50 for the gun and holster and belt. Mine is on it's 4 th barrel he bought spares when he got the gun. If I remember right they were advertised as arsenal rebuilt at that time but I would have to go dig out the bill of sale.

My receiver wrench for lever guns is a big cresent wrench with brass lined jaws. Most of the lever gun barrels are not that tight and can be spun out pretty easy. If I run into a stiff one I use a home made wrench made from 1" square bar stock drilled and tapped to work like a big tap wrench. I...

I've had 9 or 10 and from 30 Remington to 35 Remington I have the advertising the books and spare parts. My wifes great Uncle took one to Montana in the 20's and he killed a grizzly with hs too... They are a very well made and reliable gun and are average shooters. Most will hold under 4" at 10...

The soldiers were hukered down behind their horses and the indians rained arrows down on them with high angle fire. They could do this while hid in the grass with no problem. My buddy worked the battlefield as a historian for a few years and we discussed this a lot and the answer is always the same ...

n the 30's and 40's all the gun writers stressed fatter fore ends and improved cheek welds on the stocks. In fact Remington hired Crossman to critique the Model 8 and recommend a stock design and that was the start of the 81. Marlin changed to the fat fore end and heavier stock in the model 36 and i...

I had one come in with the stud in the fore arm. Drilled rith through the wood and the mag tube abd screwed it in! It held but did cut down on the mag capacity.

Rossi stocks are pretty much pot luck. Some have decent if stringy wood under the painted on finish and some have a white wood that resembles birch. You won't know till you try. It isn't going to cost anything to try re working the factory stock. If you do you can trim it down into a reasonable copy...

GGo to the auto parts store and buy a cheap china feeler gauge. They you have shim stock from .002? up to .20. I go through several a year.

I have done this per instruction for the 303 British rifles. I have about 10 pages of instructions for bedding the #4 target rifles and this is where I first used cork. Quit frankly it is at best a quick cheap substitute for a proper glass bedding joob and i see no use for it on leverguns.

On really rusty guns you can see the pits much better after you brush.

I have Shylocks complaint," Ah my daughter, ah my ducats"... I finished a really nice 1894 Marlin for a friend. He sent it to be reblued and the shop LOST the locking block. In addition the barrel was completely shot so he brought it over with parts missing and asked to have it fixed and r...

Which 25-20 there were several Stevens, Winchester ect and al just a little different. If it is a S/S it will be a tad smaller than the 25 Winchester.

KCSO

Actually I think what you have is a barrel VISE. An actual wrench would have a long handle. You clamp the barrel in the tool you have and lock it in a vise and then use an action wrench to turn off the barrel. A good tool if you do barrel work. I have one like that that is fastened to a plate and bo...

As I read yor post I fondle the 4 Aces in my pocket. The 4 Aces is a handmade copy of the Sharps that was made in about 1965, if I remember right Navy Arms had them for a while. On this gun the parts will interchange with the original I got to handle. My little gun was carried as a backup gun by a f...

I have a Lee Classic now that replaced the old Lee turret press that finally wore out after 140,000 rounds. I currently have most of the 38 different calibers I load for in Lee turrets. The ONLY problem I have had with the Lee is the two piece ram working loose and that was cured with a good dose of...

When i started in this business i was hired on a handshake from the Sheriff. I asked what kind of gun I had to carry and he said," Carry what ever you wan't but if you have to shoot make sure you don't miss". We all carried a shotgun and a rifle in the trunk all the time.

At one time i sent Paco an article about carrying a lever gun for duty use. I have packed a Rossi 357 since about 1973 before the idea of cops and rifles occurred to the city folks. Well this year i updated my carry gun just a little. I haven't had to carry a 38-357 for many years now and I pack a 1...

A somewhat more realistic calculation might be pricing by the cost of gold or hours worked for item received. Inflation alone is not real reliable as it doesn't take into account the actual cost of living due to cultural differences. For example in 1890 you had no telephone, electricity, insurance p...

Nice outfit.

If you spin your 92 to show off don't put thongs on the ring. They flop into the breech block as it cycles and hang up the spin, then the gun falls on the floor. Don't ask how I know.

Buy the Bill Laughridge safety from Brownell's and install it yourself if you can. You won't regret it. I carried a HP for years as a backup gun on raids and off duty. If you can afford it and can send your HP to Bill you will never regret it, he was doing HP's when no one was interested in them. Mi...

240 grain cast bullet from W/W over 22 grinas of IMR 4227. Not hot but still a good deer load.

This gun fired a shotgun ctg that looked like a 44-40 with a paper or wooden bullet. Kinda like a garden gun. I have some shells somewhere. I will have to look up the specs on the gun in my old catalogs. This will date from before the turn of the century a contemporary of the game getter.

I have a shelf built into the roll bar and the gun is velcro strapped to it. I can reach up with my off hand pop the straps and have gun in hand.

IF the headspce is really off and IF yu don't want to put a lot into a fix here is a cheap solution that has worked well here. Pull the barrel and solder a piece of shim stock to the breech face to correct the headspace and then re cut the extractor groove. I have one that has went over 1000 rounds ...

1/2 and 1/2 Wheel weight and Lino will come real close in that mould. Depending on the bore you may have to lap it out a little to get a good fit.

They can run anywhere from 429 to 432 with no known rhyme or reason. Mine runs 430 and I am shooting slugs from a beagled and lapped Lee mould sized to 433. The smallest I have measured was 429 on the nose.

Bear paws are good for say brush trapping and where you are in rough country. They are wider that trail shoes and are harder on your legs especially if you don't use them regular. Here in the cedars and valleys I like the bear paw even if they don't carry as much weight and when I was in shape the w...

Hey a fellow over on Cast Boolits just got one like that! I'll bet he's going to shoot his too.

It can be relined to 22 Lr 22 Mag or it can be relined to 32 and the breech block converted to 32 centerfire. The last one I did was to 32 S and W long and came out just fine. I'll bet Taylor can heelp you out here,

I think Old Ironsights nailed it... the folks buying lever guns today don't want something NEW they want something OLD that they can afford to buy. Ruger came out with the 22 caliber lever gun and it was a flop if they had brought back the 99 they would still be selling them. So... I want a M94 Winc...

Sharps calibers ran from 40-50 or so to 50-100 in various cases and varying bullets and seating. For example the 45- 21/10 or 45-70 case was loaded to 45-70, 45-75, 45-80 and 45-215 Gallery. I have had Sarps rifles in every thing from 40-65 (Also NOT a Sharps caliber) to 45-110 and i still find the ...

Instead of wood glue use Brownell's Acra Glass. A much more permanant repair and stornger. If you can spread the cracks without causing damage do so and use a syringe to get the glue into the crack. Before you glue clean the cracks out with solvent and a tooth brush and get all the old oil out. Some...

Well Brownell's has a spring and bearing kit for sale but I assume $97 is too much to pay? Spring and bearing $.50 if you want to pay the shippng. I need diameter and length of spring, and I will dig one out of the kit.
