    Current Production Marlin 336 Quality

    I have a bunch of pistol caliber lever guns, and the 2019 year 1894CB in 45lc has the best trigger of the bunch, just possibly the best trigger I've ever experienced in a long gun. Fit and finish is good, no problems at all to this point. Nice, nice gun.

    Henry vs Rossi cycling heavy .45 Colt

    Henry in 45 colt is sensitive to COAL. Rossi handles this better, perhaps because they share action parts with their longer cartridge 454 casull?

    Rust!!

    I put my firearms in sack-ups, and then seal each one in a U-Line VCI poly bag. There's so much Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor material in my gun safe, that I've never worried about the few firearms (stainless) that aren't sealed in the VCI stuff. Also keeps guns from banging into each other when...

    Which peep sight for Rossi92?

    I mounted an NOE picatinny base (fits the drilled and tapped mounting holes under the rear sight) on my Rossi 45 colt carbine. I use the XS backup ghost ring but can quickly change out to a long eye relief Leupold scope with Warne quick detach mounts. Had to go with a taller front sight from...

    Rossi 1892- worth it?

    I've got 2 Rossi 92 carbines, 16 1/2 inch blued 357 (maybe the handiest centerfire rifle I've ever held...5 lbs) and 20 inch SS in 45 colt. Both fine right out of the box, and good shooters. I like that the barrel is drilled and tapped for a scout scope (under the rear sight), and I've put one...

    Guy at the range took some shrapnel

    Bought a set of six ar500 knockover bowling pin silhouettes to practice for pin shoots. I'd watched a Hickock 45 video on worst targets for shrapnel (knockovers with a steel base plate), then did some thinking about how that would most likely happen. Bullet hits target low, near the base...

    Oldest Rifle You Own

    This pair is a rifle and shotgun carried by my great grandfather on the overland (Oregon) trail in 1850. He was a single man at the time and scouted/hunted for the wagon train. The shotgun is English (or Belgian who apparently made some of them under the English brand name), the rifle is...

    If Ca bans assault weapons, consider a lever action as an alternative

    One of my first lever guns was a 38/.357 model 92 Rossi carbine with a 16 inch barrel. Under 5 lbs unloaded. You just don't get a handier rifle than that, and I've got lots of others. It's seen way more shooting than most of the others, it's accurate, and with a King's patent loading gate...

    How to clean well the chamber on lever guns?

    To remove the bolt and clean from the breech, you want to look for videos on disassembling a Winchester 1886...they're much more complex than the Marlin that Hickock 45 removed the bolt from, and there are some variations within the different time frames (and manufacturers of clones). Videos on...

    Why Aren't 2A People Worked up About Securing Guns?

    I'm going with the Shooter Did IT, so it's His Fault. Why folks feel the need to spread the blame around is beyond me. He's the one who's committed heinous acts of murder, but everyone seems to want to make it the fault of "lack of gun control, lack of gun security, too many doors in schools...

    Opinions on Henry rifles.

    Actually, while they're certainly not a descendant of the company which manufactured the Henry, they do make a pretty authentic copy (not 44 rimfire of course) of the Henry repeating rifle produced by New Haven Repeating Arms Co. I have 3 Henry rifles, one of which is the Henry Big Boy steel in...

    Henry Big Boy .357 w/brass reciever

    Henry's are drilled and tapped for a weaver/picatinny base (which they sell). XS makes a ghost ring sight which fits that base, and puts the ring just a little forward of where a tang sight would be without having to have the tang drilled and tapped. I believe Skinner sights also sells a ghost...

    Henry Big Boy .357 w/brass reciever

    I have one, I like it, but it is heavy compared to other .357 lever guns. And too beautiful to drag around in the brush. Very accurate, probably because the weight compensates for a jerky trigger finger, smooth action, feeds everything I reload, and fun to shoot.

    Rossi 92 or Henry Steel ?

    I have a Rossi and a Henry in 357 and ditto in 45 colt. I like them all for various reasons. Rossi's are just light handy rifles that shoot well, have good fit and finish, and I've no complaint about the action other than the factory ejector spring launches brass into orbit. No problems with...

    Rust spots on firearms

    VCI For firearms that aren't out of the safe very often, I bought a roll of VCI tubing big enough to create bags for them with a heat sealer. Lay the gun on a length of tubing and cut 6 inches or so long, Seal one end with your vacuum sealer, put gun in and seal other end. When it comes time...

    Winchester vs Rossi.. Help me choose

    As others have said, the Rossi is a tool, and a good one at that. I've got 2 and both are very functional. For me, the initial cleanup of the Rossi's was a learning experience, take them apart (with the help of an excellent youtube video), replace overly strong ejector springs and plastic...
