    Rossi R95 Came Today

    Rossi R95 Came Today

    most lever guns have a safety notch, or half cock, and we always carried our guns loaded but a round not in the chamber. Makes things a lot safer to not have a round in the chamber till ready to use

    Rossi R95 Came Today

    STEVES GUNZ sells two type of peep sights. I replaces the safety on the model R 92, and the other replaces the buckhorn rear sight. I chose to go with that type of sight, and replace the safety with a pin he sells. I grew up with lever guns both Winchester and Marlin, and just do...

    new Henry rifle

    I have had a couple of the shorter barrel versions in both Marlins, and Henrys, actually had 4 Marlins, 2 Henrys, and even 2 Ruger #1s and a Ruger #3, all in 45-70. That Ruger #3 was a joy to tote, and absolute murder to shoot with heavy loads. That one seemed to bite on both...
