They do make beautiful guns there. I have a Sharps Military Carbine they made for me a few years ago. Caliber is 50-70.

In that video, Ian mentioned that some of Elmer Keith's guns were being auctioned off. Wonder what was up for sale an what they brought?

kaschi

Nice! What part of the country were you hunting in?

kaschi

"Keep your powder dry" is another worth noting unless someone already mentioned it.

An acquaintance of mine just told me yesterday that a guy who shoots at his range has no put 86,000 rounds through a Glock 17 he owns. Which generation it is I do not know but that is a lot of shooting!

kaschi

The graceful lines of these earlier 740s and 742s have always appealed to me, but heard they had reliability issues so I never picked one up. Besides, here in PA semi auto rifles were not permitted for hunting so that kinda was the deciding factor not to buy.

kaschi

@csr:
That thick recoil pad on your 95 looks like it would help take out some of the recoil!

kaschi

I like the 35 Winchester idea too, but what would really ring my bell would be a 303 British as someone else has mentioned. Some people have had their 30-06 95s rebored to 35 Whelen which is kinda like a 35 Winchester..., but from a nostalgic point of view, it isn't the same. Isn't splitting hairs f...

kaschi

Does anyone make an old style (free float) replacement firing pin for these Browning 71s and 1886s? That would probably solve all the problems involved. My older B92 carbines have the original style firing pin, and as would be expected, no reliability issues. From a reliable source, I understand Ros...

In the Colt SAA I like both 4 3/4" and 7 1/2". In Ruger the 4 5/8" is the winner.

kaschi

Maybe writing to Uberti and others that sell Uberti firearms would be another way to find out. Getting it straight from them would be good to have in writing if you wind up with a rifle that isn't up to snuff (even though they may say it is). I'd ask for S/N ranges that would be affected with the no...

kaschi

I remember seeing an upclose video of one being shown at SHOT SHOW and it definitely did not appear to have a rebounding hammer. While I applaud their effort to re-create the 1894 Carbine (is this supposed to be a SRC?), they should at least get the front barrel band in the correct location (a littl...

kaschi

Maybe now Kim will join leverguns.com and ask for advice as to which lever guns to buy!

kaschi

BrianSH is totally correct.

kaschi

Agree with you totally. I did a little looking on the websites other forum members suggested regarding barrel liners and noticed that some of the businesses made mention that they would not export. So, one can assume that liners either 1) fall under the export laws or 2) they don't want to get into ...

kaschi

^^^ Oh yes he is indeed capable of determining if a barrel is shot out as does the gunsmith who works on his guns! Based on the way he described the barrel's condition, I told him the simplest solution would be to just have the barrel relined or get another original 92 in better condition. At least ...

kaschi

Is is possible to use a Browning B92 (44 Magnum) barrel on an original Winchester 1892 carbine? I recently re-connected with an old friend in Germany after 30 yrs who is totally dedicated to shooting anything that goes bang. He is especially fond of old West guns and ran across a Winchester 92 44-40...

kaschi

It's hard to keep up with all the number designations any more. I thought the 19X was a 17 frame with a 19 slide/barrel. How is the Glock 45 different from the 19X?

kaschi

Yeah, I'm with you on that Vance! They give me the creeps even from 40 feet away.

kaschi

Anyone try shotshells out of the 317? Might be nice to carry one loaded with them for ventilating snakes.

kaschi

In the early to mid 70s I remember learning in school that another Ice Age would be experienced in the not so distant future.

kaschi

He claims they neglected to warn him to bring warm clothes, etc ahead of an exercise??? WOW. :shock: How one could not remember to wear that type of attire in a British winter must be so dumb that it makes a guy wonder how he even got into the military. In a different light, had he been deployed to ...

kaschi

Sounds great. And yes, Spätzle is the noodle of choice! While in Germany last summer my wife and I picked up our second Spätzle maker/press, having "donated" the first one to my step daughter.

kaschi

I've had this goulash before and it is good. It's great with either potato or bread dumplings. Both are a little involved to make but are well worth the effort. Otherwise, noodles or boiled potatoes work!

kaschi

Nice piece and looks promising! I have a Swiss made P210-2 and can only say that it is a beautiful work of art. Enjoy yours!

kaschi

Ruger makes the best 22 pistol IMO and the MK II semi autos are the best of their lineup. The MK II was a definite improvement over the MK I with the addition of the bolt hold open. As far as I'm concerned, there was no need for a MK III with its relocation of the heel mag release to the button styl...

kaschi

The rifle at the very left appears to be a 92 Carbine in either 25-20 or 32-20. It has a short loading gate. Also, it has a barrel band with the mag tube attached to the barrel using a ring dovetailed into the barrel toward the end (like 86 and 94 rifles). If it were a 38-40 or 44-40 it would be fit...

kaschi

Impressive round the 25-35! I shot a doe back in 1990 or 1991 with mine using Remington 117 core lokt factory loads. They were old cartridges at the time by the way. The deer was quartering away from me at about 50 yds. The bullet wen from her left rump clean through and mushroomed under the skin of...

Whatever was going on in the owner's head sure makes me wonder too. They made OUTSTANDING single actions. I'm glad to have bought one NIB in 45 Colt with 7 1/2" barrel not long before they went out of business. Wish I had bought a couple more!

kaschi

Those are pretty good! Here's one more for your list.
On the bumper sticker of a hillbilly's truck: Illiterate? Write for help.

kaschi

^^^ That's true, but based on the description, it seems that their goal is to produce a SAA that is indistinguishable from an original Colt. At least that's how I interpret it. And based on the price, it is under the going rates for NIB Colt 3rd Generation revolvers.

kaschi

I'm for the 44-40 based on it being an original chambering. The hard part would be figuring out which 1873 variation to go with since Miroku offers a few but I'd lean toward a SRC.

kaschi

It's kind of surprising that Rossi hasn't made their Model 92 available in 45 ACP. Would be reminicient of some of those old Winchester 92s that went to Mexico and South America for police use that were converted for that particular round. My cousin had one back in the 70s and we had a lot of fun wi...

Confucius say: man who go to bed with sex problem wake up with solution in hand.

@ Bill in Oregon: Yeah, I've heard some complaints about the M9 from some military guys. But also positive remarks about it too. Probably just depends on how worn out one particular pistol was vs another and who the unfortunate grunt was that was issued it. To be honest, I remember back in the 70s w...

kaschi

^^^ I agree totally. To go from something that has totally proven itself to another that has not is fundamentally stupid. Same goes with the military's departure from the Beretta M9. Wars are not won with handguns. It probably is a case of "someone's palm getting greased".

Wait till one kid sails a rock across the classroom and hits another student.......That has LAW SUIT written all over it!

There's a short Utube video by this title that may interest some of you. The guy in the video does a nice job of explaining things and the video itself is enjoyable.

The hand guards on the OP's carbine look stouter than the earlier ones.

kaschi

In case anyone is interested, for 2018 Winchester is offering the 1886 Short Rifle with 24" round barrel in 45-90.

kaschi

This is a very cool idea to have a newly manufactured 95 SRC in 7.62x54R (and also in 303 British) as someone else suggested. Best shot for getting one is to write to Winchester (Glenn Hatt is the production manager IIRC). If he hears from enough people, it could be a very good possibility they woul...

It's surprising that with all the terrorist activity over the last few years and anti gun hysteria these days that genius politicians have not tried to ban model rockets.

Believe it or not I found them on EBay. It was sort of a lucky find in that when I made an initial search, only a couple of items were displayed. Then oddly on the same day, I tried different wording and those items appeared.

kaschi

...a Winchester 1892 Rifle (44-40) with rebounding hammer to its ("way it should have been") original configuration. I'm hoping the firing pin will work. It was available so figured better grab it while it was there.

kaschi

I've been thinking the same thing you said Pete when you stated ..."you won't know until you try". This carbine is being re-barreled by some someone to whom I sent it and he's only gotten as far as ordering the new barrel. What I'm pretty sure about the contour of the the new barrel is tha...

My Marlin 336 Texan (30-30) is about to be sent off for a new barrel which will be in 25-35. It will be 18" in length and should make for a nice, handy little carbine. So, here's the sight situation: I've got brand new Browning 1886 rear and front sights which I'd like to have installed on the ...

kaschi

After having watched some youtube videos showing new gun offerings for 2018, I went to Winchester's website to see their entire lineup. What caught my eye was the "32 WCF" chambering (their description) for the 1894. Since "32 WCF" means "32-20", they must be mistaken. ...

My wife and I both drive standard transmission cars. We have two VWs and one Mini Cooper and all are manual. There is at least one down side to these, though. My wife broke her left ankle last week....... Guess the rest does not to be explained!

kaschi

My thinking about these older obsolete calibers is that if a guy has an affinity for them, then get them and have fun! Yes, they are a little on the expensive side, but it's not like you're going to be shooting them so much that you're going to go bankrupt. I too am into some of the old Winchester c...

Ysabel Kid sums it up well. No matter which Christian denomination one belongs to, one important to keep in mind is: a house united beats a house divided. And based on some recent events-both here and abroad-there is no better time to remain united. Martin Luther had some really good quotes. There a...
