Put me down as a fan of the Browning versions. I have 2 1886's, a SRC and a Rifle. I also have a Browning model 71. All 3 are slick, accurate, well made and downright gorgeous. They are all High Grade with some of the nicest figured walnut you have ever seen and the fit is outstanding. Also, no lawy...

yep, it was in the later episodes that they changed the stud out to a "selective fire" screw. By backing out the screw he could go from full auto to semi auto.

OJ, That is pretty cool. The Monohans are great people. When I go out, I stay at one of the old ranch houses over near Hyannis. The last branding I went to was 2 years ago and at that time they were running closer to 11,000 head. Talk about a busy place. You are absolutely correct about the branding...

This August I'll celebrate my 85th anniversary of my arrival on this planet - and, I was nearly 16 when my folks moved from the cattle ranching Sandhills of Nebraska to the city (Denver) and I found out there were other ways to make a living besides being a cowboy. My dad was the first white child ...

Ahhh, after 20 or 25 years, I really think each person knows the other ain't going no where and the trust comes in to stay. I really believe that 99 marriages out of 100 that ends is because of trust or the man lets the little head do the thinking instead of the big head. With me, my priorities hav...

Have you ever felt or been compelled to support others who 1. did nothing to try to support themselves? 2. did not acknowledge the fact that you were and in fact acted as if it was your responsibility to do it? 3. when they did earn money on their own, they did not contribute to the "general fu...

The last couple of posts here are hitting home pretty hard. I am about halfway through reading a book I had heard about for years, and never read called "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand. So far it is about the very idea of good people "having" to work to support the slackers who do n...

If I am doing the math right, the accuracy of that thing is 2.4 MOA. That is probably accurate enough, but a Sharps 50 would likely do better.

Don I was down in Dillon this year for elk the temp was 0 and wind chill dropped it to 20 below I tried a shot at a target with my 348 loaded with IMR 4895 the bullet hit 2' low at 200 yds I tried a shot with AA4350 it dropped maybe 16"-18" I dont like chasing wounded elk since then I hav...

About 15 feet to my office / study, but I do have to walk about 80 feet to the kitchen for the coffee pot.

270 is a great cartridge, no doubt about it. It is no 348 Winchester, but it is good cartridge none the less.

SJPrice

Well, my "sickness" is up to two .348s, and three "real" rifles. Not to mention the other related symptoms (.38-55, .30-30, .44 mag, .45 Colt. ,40-65 and so on, and so on) I don't want to be cured. I think we're all a little sick, I have the above mentioned 45-70, and 348, then ...

I copied this comment from another thread here. I think 2x22 sums it up pretty well. "Neither. I ain't choosin'. I'm keeping them both. My '86 in 45-90 and my 1936 348 are the only two guns I own that have names. Thunder and Lightning. 2x22" My experience bears this out. the 45-70 is capab...

I still say the Elzetta's run rings around the Surefire lights. I have also found that the Panasonic 123A Lithium batteries are the best value and longest lasting batteries. They can be found for anywhere from $1.50 down to $1.20 depending on quantities purchased. They are 1550 mahh batteries. Most ...

Check out Elzetta. http://www.elzetta.com/ I have their 3 cell 235 Lumen ZFL-M6 with their strike bezel and High Low Beam tail-cap. I have had Surefires and Streamlights and the Elzettas are like a Bradley Tank or an A10 Warthog of flashlights. Or maybe here I should say they are like the 1886 of fl...

Sounds like your good luck. I just checked their website and they are listed as "unavailable"

2x22,

Good for you sir and my hat is off to you and your son.

I would tend to disagree. I would imagine for anyone reading the posts here that most if not all guns are bought from the heart and some of them be they rifles, shotguns, or handguns become like an extension of ones self. As an example I would offer the man who skillfully still hunts for deer, elk e...

As stated twice here already, WHY? It would be one thing if we were talking apocalypse and all you had to feed yourself or family were .227 diameter for a .224 bore. But beyond that WHY?

I wish everyone could just lighten up. Either that or maybe this post should go to the political.

well I forgot to tell you I will never again use fleese in a scabbert again I have used split pig skin in all of what I have now easy on the gun an will not stay WET. I never thought of split pig skin. How does it affect the tension when you pull your rifle? I just looked at a scabbard I almost nev...

That is the same position I use. I also can shoot from my horse and have on two occasions been lucky and taken coyotes with a 45 Colt while mounted. In both cases we rode up and caught them napping so to speak. I have not tried shooting a rifle while mounted, but I am sure my horse would be fine.

SJPrice

Okay so I am revisiting an old topic. I prefer to carry my rifle straight up and down in the northeast position on my saddle with the sights facing back. I am left handed and this allows me to reach across with my left hand and pull my rifle from the wrist/lever area. I can do this while mounted or ...

I have also had the same problem with the gummy tips causing hangups in the magazine of my 1886 Browning. I noticed it more during 90 to 100 degree days in Texas. However it was often enough to make me consider them to be unreliable for feeding.

SJPrice

Nope, it will not only not improve your iron sight use, it may hurt it. Sometimes the correction of distance eyesight with lasiks will increase the need for reading glasses. Therefore your vision for iron sights will be a little more blurred. Not always but something to discuss with your eye surgeon.

SJPrice

The 35 calibers seem to be more effective than tables, charts and logic would expect. Cartridges like the 35 Remington, 348 Winchester, 358 Winchester and 35 Whelen. Have a dedicated following that could only come from experience and performance.

SJPrice

Yep, I had the same problem with the Lever Revolution factory ammo. I solved the problem by changing the magazine spring follower. The one I used was from Wild West Guns, but I think Marlin makes one for use with the Hornady gummy tipped bullets. It appeared the gummy tips were jamming between the e...

If anyone is serious about a great "combat" or CCW revolver, then I suggest you take a look at the S&W Night Guard series. The 396 Night Guard is "Bulldog" size, lighter, possibly stronger, and the trigger is better both DA and SA and it is a 5 shot 44 special with great comb...

SJPrice

Okay, so which is it, an 1886 or a Model 71. They were not the same action. Even though they look and function similar, the 71 action is changed from the original 1886.

unfortunately the vocal part of your golden state appears to be the "golden girls" Fienstien, Boxer and Pelosi

I am very interested. Will check my schedule and let you know.

great story, congrats Joe. How was the Mesquite show. I wanted to go, but Saturday was fence mending day and then Saturday night I ended up staying late at Cullpeppers Steakhouse. Randy travis came in for dinner and got up on stage for a few songs. Long story short Sunday ended up being a day of rest.

SJPrice

Gotta love those High Grade Brownings. And even better when they are the 1886 or the Model 71. Reminds you of an old time bank where the vault was out where everyone could see and the vault door looked like a massive piece of mechanical art.

I remember on year as a young'un I went hunting with my father & grandfather high up in the mountains in Utah. We got hit by a blizzard and was stuck in the hunting shack till spring. At one point, it got so cold, it froze the flame of our matches. That made it difficult to talk because our wor...

I'm definitely not worried about spring set. The mag tube is usually not fully loaded anyway. I am concerned about bullet setback though. If you are concerned about bullet set back, you are more likely to see that happen if the rounds in the front of the mag tube stay there through round after roun...

Modern springs get weak from use. It is called work hardening. A compressed spring is not in use. It is the act of compressing and releasing that wears them out. Just my comments, others mileage may vary.

I have done the one screw with a short filler screw in the front hole. I used thin double back tape on mine. I first cleaned the surfaces with a little acetone. The tape held so well after that, I am not sure I would have needed even one screw. I was very careful not to get the acetone on the wood f...

Welcome, and congratulations. I hope you understand the purchase of lever actions is a disease, there is no cure and you will soon be a penniless person who owns enough lever actions to outfit a large cattle drive.

Okay, that is a clear case of false advertising. There wasn't a single double A in any of those adds. A lot of C's and maybe even an almost D, but not even one double A.
