It may or may not have the TS marking, but definitely is a non-safety TS configuration. I got the model type only after comparing interwebz pictures. The question is do I want this one, or wait for a nice 80's - early 90's machined receiver Winchester 1894 AE?
A LGS has an unmodified .30-30 336TS in good/very good condition with the somewhat rare (?) 18.5 barrel and is NOT fitted with the cross bolt safety. From some interwebz searching, it sounds like such a a gun would only be in 1980-1984 timeframe. I need a .30-30 lever gun, and I like this one...
The funny thing is that I am NOT a fan of Aluminum Blazer. I don't go shooting just to use the cheapest blasting ammo possible. The purpose of this post is purely observational curiosity.
Used to be extremely common as the lowest cost ammo for folks not interested in reloading and leary of steel case imports. Nowadays it's rarely seen, but it's brass sibling is everywhere.
My sympathies for "private property rights" are pretty limited when your "private property" is open to public access, like a store, mall, theater, performance venue, arena, etc. Personal residences and secure business are something else.
I have four sets of the Pachmayr Presentation grips that I have acquired used over the years for the K/L-frame square butt (size small). I just noticed today that one of them is not relieved for speed loader access. Just curious- Does anybody know when this change was made?

A LGS has a 1914 Amberg Kar 98 (direct ancestor to the WWII Kar 98K) that was modified to a mid-grade sporter in probably the 50's or 60's. It has a non-cheek rest sporter stock, new .270 Win barrel and was fitted with a rear peep sight. The recoil pad is cracked and tired (not surprisingly)...
Do fingerprints from handling/loading cartridges actually survive the firing process? Seems like that if you leave a big old thumb print on something like a .45 case while loading a 1911 mag, the expansion of the case wall onto the chamber wall would obliterate any sense of the original print...
The development of the wheellock allowed firearms to be maintained at a safe, "ready-to-fire" status indefinitely, a HUGE step over having to babysit a burning match either on your person, or worse, on the cock. Everything thing else is just refinement of the mechanisms.
