Thanks gies.That is what I had in mind.The barrel is a mess but the other parts are in good shape.The trigger is the best part of this pistol.Thanks again.

I have an Ruger Old Army I would like to sell.The problem is I dont know what it is worth.So I came here for your help.First off it is in bad condition.The forcing cone is badly pitted and the barrel as well.The cylinder has lite pitting.The original grips are gone.It has a conversion cylinder...

Better to save the money.I got the one off E-bay figuring it would make a big improvement.And it did nothing really.I still have it in my RL550B but if i took it out I would not be able to tell.

This place has them but not cheap.http://www.westernandwildlifewonders.com/shop/catalog/index.php?cPath=1_24

What you really need to watch is the bullet not locking up the cyclinder from jumping forward.I use a small shim to cast mine a bit larger.And yes they do hit a little high.Also to get them to start easy I bevel the base some.I can't get used to the narrow trigger on the ROA without the trigger...

robert it is a Lyman Devastator in .45 cal.Its about 185 grn.#452374 It works OK.

Not a very good picture.But will put more up later.

Sorry I forgot to say it is a 30-30 Win.

I hate to jump in like this but feel this is the best place to ask.Can any one tell me the value of a 90% or better 336 Marlin w/walnut stock 20 inch barrel rifle may be.Some one put a butt pad on this rifle some years ago.It is a 1979 model and may have had the pad all those years.Allso all it...

My 336 from 1979 has a few scars but will put 178 grn. of lead in a small hole at 100 yrd.

cast boolit I am going to use the Lyman 311041 it is a 173 grain FN.It comes out to 177.9 lubed and gas checked for me.I have heard it both ways about Marlin lever guns and cast boolits.All I can do is give it a try.

made a mistake Thank you for the reply and the link.However I made a mistake.Mine is the 20 inch barrel.I really like this rifle.I had a newer 336A and didn't like it near as much.When I get it broke in I am going to give 173 grain cast a try in it.

Just got a 1979 Marlin 336 it has the 18 inch barrel 6 shot tube and plain walnut wood.My question is all it says is model 336.Why no letter after the number.All the ones in my gun books have a letter.The closest one seems to be the 336C.Thanks.I would like to know something about it.

I think this one is real.

I believe this one has "Doughnut" post rib.Also it has checkered forearm with one diamond in center.The ser. No. Is 134xxx.There are so many in the Blue Book I don't know what to think.But this gun is 95% plus.The barrel is marked Skeet.
