Thats a "tinners" hammer...mostly used in sheet metal and tin smith work.

Made one myself way back when.. High School machine shop project. need to take a pic and post it here.

Joe Miller... I missed the update. Can you set square on your buttcheeks yet?

he's left handed. I think thats a Marlin rifle too. That horse is pretty typical of what passed for a "stock horse" pre-1940. The horse got caught every spring and turned out every fall... and if you got 3 or 4 years of use out of it you were well ahead of the game. the rig and firearms ar...

Hillbilly

If you insist... order a spare barrel and cut that down... retain the original parts if and modify some second hand parts to do the project.

cutting up a earlier (pre safety) 39 would be a mistake. If things dont work out you can always restore the rifle to it's previous value

Hillbilly

soaking a loose hammer head in old motor oil will swell the head up... and it lubricates the wood grain in the handle.

I have a ball peen that is almost unbreakable after 20 years of heavy duty use...

Hillbilly

Light bulbs, heat rods, dessicant all work wonders. In Florida, I'd run a fan in a room too... a flow of air into the closets and under the beds keeps the mold out...even with central AC

I like Oklahoma... it's drier than a popcorn fanny burp here.

Hillbilly

for general purpose use... Klein tools or Snap on both make pretty good sets of allen keys. They seem to hold their shape and the bigger Klein sets are stout enough to feign with a wrench if needed.

I try to use a bit from a gunsmithing set if I can on guns.

Hillbilly

I have a 1912 version SRC .... using the silvertip 117 grainers it drops Deer very well.

Just a nice cartridge to shoot... but it's hard to find and reloading is about the only way to go these days

Hillbilly

Jewlers rouge... usually any big industrial supply can conjure up some... especially if the cater to the tool and die trade (we still do tool and die work in the USA, don't we). If you ever noticed the bushing on a high voltatge powerline transformer... the part that goes into the tank you don't see...

Hillbilly

Thanks. The saddle is handmade and dated 1967... a Texas maker whos name escapes me right now... but I cant find him nor any of his other work after some breif online research. Bought that saddle at an auction and my son rode it until he went to college. His mistake he didnt take it with him... the ...

The squad looks uniformed somewhat. The guy in the dark suit looks like he has a saber, and he's stationed about were the officer would direct a firing squad from? The victim has a different set of clothes and hat. Looks like a band of irregulars doing a little "hearts and minds" manipulat...

Hillbilly

if they use it enough.... a well worn patina will take over. a few years of leather gloves, saddle scabbards and rough hands will get that Winny looking like a good old Indian nickle and the pits will buff right out.

Hillbilly

General Yeager should be a national icon and we should give an extra test about him and a few others as a mandatory graduation requirement for High school seniors. The guy entered service to be a aircraft mechanic... and ended up as the "fastest man alive" for a few years. We treat him as ...

Hillbilly

go to the front page here at leverguns. there is a winchester resources link that takes you to a serial number production service. just remember... the Reciever on a '94 got dated when it was made. The actual rifle that was made up on that reciever may be a year or so newer... you may find a date on...

Praying that God's will be done in this case...whatever it may be.

the flatband flatband.jpg serials to the '49 or '50 range. I think it's one that they "used up" a flatband band on. Coyotes 2- Jeff 0 One ran out and sat like a lap dog at 75 yards or so. I was wide... the other was a "hail mary" at a loping coyote ( radar had him clocked just un...

Hillbilly

Jerry... i still go to a few rodeos every year. The stock contractors are genetically breeding bucking stock... and a there are good broncs that can catch air like that old time horse. About one in 300 horses will buck all the time if you flank em. You just cannot get those horses to NOT buck and th...

Hillbilly

The Crescent stock hurts like the dickens if you place it square on your shoulder. It works pretty good if you stuck in more on the upper arm and that's the way a lot of old timers learned to shoot. For stationary shooting... using shooting sticks, that old time reclining prone etc the Crescent butt...

Hillbilly

"at work last weekend"

The rifle is a flatband 94 in , what else- 30 WCF

Hillbilly

Early roughstock riders used to win based on who could flat stay on the longest... but that rode the buck out of the horse sometimes. If you were the guy who owned a "man killer" you did not want that...a good bucking horse that won often was a money maker ... stock contractors still look ...

Hillbilly

are we speaking of the '71 Colt clone? I think those are offered in 38 Special-correct? As long as you stay at normal 38 Special pressures I dont think you should have any problems with that pistol. Remember... Colt 44 Army revolvers were open top... and even with heavy blackpoweder loads held up ok...

I heard the PD public affairs officer read the press announcment on the news the day after this happened. Every word she said pegged my BS meter. I guess I am getting jaded in my late middle age. Not all... but way too many pro atheletes have some mutant arrogance. I guess woman are drawn to that. N...

YK... as you know stress just loves a compromised back... I am glad you were able to travel as well as you did. I have a bulged disc that does well with excercise and chiropractic... but a delayed flight or some other trigger and a few days of strange beds and weird food and schedules puts me right ...

Hillbilly

The 45-90 thread brought to mind a question I had a few years ago... and never fully resolved. I dont play with the older BP based cartridges and the big framed levers... so excuse my ignorace. Can you fire a 45-70 from a 45-90 rifle. Would the freebore length totally ruin the accuracy potential? I ...

Hillbilly

I've tried the truncated- looking Winchester FMJ from a Marlin too... I'd dont worry about Round nosed lead either... if they were "spire pointed" I'd know better.

Hillbilly

very good...

If Will Rogers was alive today... he would have probably told that story first.

J

Hillbilly

Wow... since this rifle is no good you wouldnt feel to awfully bad about sending it along to me.

Heck... I'd toss in $100 and pay the shipping.... sounds like you have been through a bad time.

Hillbilly

hang in there.

Prayers up.... you are in the thoughts of many

must be a misprint... they can't end wolf season 12 months early

what do you want for the tang sight?

I need a stem and apperature in the worst way.

PM me please

York PA was close to the Indian School? He looks kinda young... a student or vistior perhaps?

Hillbilly

I have a 1936 era Winchester carbine that would fit that bill. It has a redfeild peep on it. 30-30 is enough for any big critters found in this area... and works well enough on coyotes, bobcats and armodillos. I need to post a picture of this gun... I own 7 1894's and the '36 model is just beat up e...

Heavener is about midway down the eastern border of OK.

There is a stone nearby that many think was engraved by Norse explorers in pre columbian times.

Hevener was a railroad town ... and there is a big poultry plant there... the poultry plant allegedly hires a lot of illegals

Hillbilly

38 special sends short-range coyotes to coyote heaven...snakes too.

357, 125 grain JSP works on everything else.

I'd like something with a "4" in it...I dont care for 44 magnums... 45 LC would do the trick (or a .38-40... but I am an odd duck)

Cimmeron SAA and my el cheapo rig...

357 mag and 4.75" barrel... plain jane hogleg and holster... but it's all about substance not style anyway.

thats what happens when we let our kids play video games and watch oriental cartoons on cable. How's an "icon" supposed to stay an "icon"? Can you imagine the "museums" our childrens generation will go too? "The Family Guy Musem", "AC/DC" tribute ban...

count me in.... the peep sight is keeping me "scope free" during my bi-focal era.

My arms may have to grow to shoot handguns someday however.

I dont care for scopes on lever guns.... but that looks "right as rain" to me.

Period correct works for me!

Nice find

My catahoula hound dog runs em off. We had a Yorkshire that did not care to share her yard either.

NY Yankees...best team money can buy. 27 times--- somebody has sold their soul to Satan for that. I am all for immigrants getting a break..but..... The MPV had to use a translator to convert his Oriental tounge to English. If you come here and make that kind of money... buy Rosetta Stone for English...

Hillbilly

Mine's a 1968 version.... if I go easy on the coffee... 30 shots into a quarter sized group at 35 yards. Find one ....you will like it.

Lets just say that bourbon flavored dip is NOT the same as dip flavored bourbon and let it go at that.

that candle wax was a close second...

Hillbilly

depends on the time of year... but a 357 Cimmeron Colt clone travels out back on the ranch property much of the time.

22 (SW 18) is a close second. When thats on the belt a Marlin carbine( 357) or a 30-30 is on the horse or in the truck anyway

separating the pins and screws from the fixture that holds them.

the seller says that in his gunbroker text... if he cant make the reserve he will sell the exhibit by the peice on e-bay.

Joe Miller... that guy IS a moron if he goes through with that idea.

Laughs at YK.... what? you dont like the ORANGE ARMY? The west side of Michigan gets the other battalion of those sound hunting idiots--from Illinois. I lived out in Larkin Township... when opening day was midweek ... at least 30 guys with 7mm or bigger rifles would touch a round off at first light....

Hillbilly

Worst? Too many to count. They sorta all run together --- know what I mean?

I did see a guy shoot the pulley and cable down at an indoor gun range once.
