    Pistol cal. leverguns seem to be pretty rare lately

    I have an old Marlin 44 Mag lever action that I've never had much use for. I've kept it only because I'm concerned that my Garand and my AR may become illegal someday. Are you guys saying that it's worth some money now?

    J.C. Higgins Model 50

    I have a Model 50 with a Leupold scope on it, but I don't know what kind of rings I have. But the safety works fine without any modifications. I might add that with handloads, I shot 3 shot groups with minute of angle accuracy. I was told by a knowledgeable friend to not let anyone talk...

    Presidents, How did you "work the trigger down"? The trigger on mine is a bear.

    johnmcl, My 39A begins with AB. Sure you didn't make a mistake with the 1966 designation above?

    I saw a 39A Mountie sitting in a gun store just the other day. They wanted $300.00 for it, if I remember correctly.

    I have a retired friend who has been a gun nut almost all his life. He is an amateur machinist and has gunsmithing skills. His first gun was a 39A. He still has it and says he has been dry-firing it now for over half a century. And he sees no sign of damage. I have a Kimber 82, and the...

    Anyone try hunting with the Aguila Super Calibra ammo? What did you decide the max effective range is? (I realize someone may have writtena about this here before, but I don't have time to read a 70 page book looking for it.)

    Texas Boy, Are those ghost sights on your Co-pilot, and can you reload the ammo?

    I'm trying to decide on a brass or blued Skinner. Any opinions?

    SGW42, It looks like your open rear sight is folded down in your pic. Is that a stock open sight?

    I'm ordering a Skinner sight and am going to try some .22 mini mags. What distances do you hunters zero you stuff in to? And what do you hold over or under at various distances, if you don't mind my asking?

    Mo, Did you get the regular 39 sight or the low-profile one? Looking at the Skinner site, he states that the Marlin sight works fine with the low-profile one, but doesn't say that about the regular sight.
