This is an old thread, and possibly stale - but I thought I'd reply for the benefit of anyone else who may be thinking of converting a pre-1957 Savage 99 .300 Savage to .308 Winchester. In a word - It's hard, if not impossible. The older, pre-1957 Savage 99's, were of a certain length -...

[ liked the look of the peep on the bolt, but went with the Marble to avoid the gun smithing. ] The bolt peep, pictured above, that replaces the M92 bolt-top safety is "no gunsmithing" - unless one counts drifting out the safety retainer pin, dropping in the peep, and re-installing the...

Takedown #4 RB's are considered weaker and not as accurate as the solid framed rifles - by Frank DeHaas, as well as me. I have no clue as to which version hold more value in the marketplace, but a solid frame sure holds more value for me. My solid-frame .32 RF has been converted to CF, and...

I was looking over a new .22LR Mossy 464 levergun in a local funshop last week. Pass. I didn't care for the tang safety or the stamped sheet metal rear sight. .

(This IS a duplicate reply) :D .

Yeah - it's a Ruger carbine, made in 1976 & marked "Made in The 20th Year of American Liberty" just like every other Ruger firearm made that year - that someone had engraved for themselves. .

My 1946 M39a My 1955 M39a And my Marlin 1927 "Model 39 minus 1" (aka Model 38) ;) .

Here's the names/models of the various Ithaca double (SxS) shotguns, with SN ranges & timelines: Baker Model - 1880/1889 - SN 1 to 10500 (approx) Crass Model - 1892/1903 - SN 17235 to 94108 Lewis Model - 1904/1906 - SN 94109 to 123677 Flues Model - 1908/1926 - SN 175000 to 398365...

[ am trying to decide betwees the XS ghost ring, Skinner sight, and the Williams FP or WGRS (if it doesn't hang over the back of the receiver on a 336 like it does on the 1894 - still cant find an answer to that).] The WGRS does not overhang the rear/hammer of a Model 336. [I am leaning...

The scope mount holes in the receiver bridge (rear) of the Express Model 70 are closer together than on a standard or non-Express Model 70. The receiver ring (front) hole spacing is the same for all era M70's - about .850" IIRC. The pre-64 rear hole spacing is .435", the post-64 rear...

Very nice rifle, and a good buy, by any standard. :) As long as the scope is clear, and doesn't fog up in cold and/or rainy weather, it sounds like you're gonna be good to go.

Yeah - They're not accurate at all. This is an average 100yd group, from mine. The early, tube mag Old Model .44 Auto Carbines were designed to shoot, and do it just fine thank you, factory 240gr jacketed bulet ammo ONLY. If they shoot anything else well, it's gravy. Lead bullets...

None of the several gun shops in my local area would hire me, when I was looking for a part-time job. :banghead: They'd have been losing their best customer, my guess. :rolleyes: ;)

[That tang safety would make it hard to mount a tang sight] Marble's already makes tang peep sights for several tang-safety rifles - I'm sure if one of them doesn't already fit the Mossberg, Marble'll whip up a new base pattern.

P = 1963, U = 1967 Your gun was obviously made in only one year. The accepted year date code is usually the circled letter - is one circled ? What's on the bottom of the shotgun barrel ? The "17" is most likely an assembly number, and any letter directly with it would not be a date...

If it has a letter-code, it should be stamped into the bottom of the shotgun barrel, near the forend latch stud, and sometimes inside the frame rails, where the barrel normally sits when closed.

A pistol scope can be successfully mounted between the rear sight location and the front of the receiver with an XS LeverScout mount with three caveats. 1) The rear sight dovetail must be approx 4" from the front edge of the receiver, to secure the front end of the LeverScout base. 2) The...

I have others, but this .30-06 Ruger is my favorite.
