Definitely check the cross-block safety, too.

Maybe you're not interested in lever action rifles, but I like 'em. I have an old straight-stocked Win 94, a newer straight-stocked Marlin 1895M, and a "pistol-grip"-stocked Marlin 1895MR. The grip angle on the MR is easier on my wrist.

The rifle I "trust" most is my Dad's old (now mine) Win 94 in 32 Win Spl. The "trust" part of it is kind of a symbiotic thing though. I longed for that rifle since I was old enough for my eyes to focus on it, and was allowed to handle it often, under Dad's tutelage. When I was 7, Santa, in his...

It's easy to do if you reload. You just save the end-label from the bricks of primers you go through. 1 endpanel equals 1000 rounds.

Thanks for your reply Bannockburn. I really am curious now, about the play of earlier generations. I will be visiting my Parents tomorrow and Thursday. While there, I'm going to ask my Dad (74), and my 94 Y/O Grandmother about her older brothers. She's in and out of lucidity; hopefully, this...

I'm 50 yrs old (1958), and sounds like I grew up much like Bannock. It's only a minor point, and I'm not really taking issue with it much, but I never saw adults playing C&I, or war, so I doubt that you or I were emulating adults, other than the fact that they had real guns. If we were emulating...

Hey there. I recently sold a gen 1 ATN Paladin night-vision scope. It worked very well on a Rem 700. I dont think any of the ones I've seen will work in a long eye-relief situation. All of them (again, that I've seen) use a very short relief and an eye-cup. They also sit very high, and require...

Just don't do it. You can't know if the animal died within a half hour of being shot, or wandered around, gut-shot, for 2 days, with infections and fever coursing through the body. ...and 62 degrees?... hell, you're not supposed to eat a tuna sandwich that YOU made, after leaving it on the...

Marlin95; I have a 1895M (450Marlin) 18.5" barrelled, straight stocked with 14 ports. I also have a 1895 MR (450 Marlin) 22" barrelled, unported, pistol grip stocked rifle. This doesn't exactly answer your question, but here's the best I can do. My M model regularly smacks me in...

I have a Marlin 1895M... it is a 1st year .450Marlin with the 14 ports. It measures .780 at the muzzle . I believe it's the same size as the original guide gun.

If you start high, and are willing to come down, you're better off than starting low and trying to work up. You might add the word, "negotiable". But as in all things, something's "value" is the point where the seller and buyer meet... stock, old (or new) cars, houses, etc. Period.

Hey Fingers, Like most programming, it's gotta be geared to the broadest cross-section of viewers. I only get to watch the programs you mention the few times that I'm at my Folks' house, as I only get air-broadcast programming. As a further exp of what you're (I think) talking about, I like...

Hey Crazy, I went to the website you suggested. and really can't or don't believe what I read there. Either what I read there is way out of line (seriously under-rated)with reality, or I was, as a beer swilling, pot smoking, cartoon-watching super-man. ....and I don't believe that for an...

I used to have a Benelli M-1 Super 90 Defence. It held lots of rounds but good grief, with heavy 3" slugs, the damned thing was just Brutal on my shoulder. I weighed nearly 300 lbs. Some sub-6' friends of mine, in the 130-150 lb weight range, had zero probs with that shotgun. I could be waaay...

I challenge you guys, of whatever physical level, to try my chain-thing. Try it, especially the back-to-front part. I've used the spring-handled device. It works ok. I've done, and worn slap-out the excercise balls. I double-dog dare you to stand on a tall chair and try the chain...

I research things, seeing that I have more time than money. Unfortunately though (in some cases), I may tend to go overboard and do too much research. I often find (for me, at least), that it's possible to be armed with so much information re: caliber, twist rates, bbl lengths and contours...

I have used everything over the years from Z-Max engine protector (no ptfe) to straight Slick 50, and a dozen gun and non-gun oils. As far as greases, I've used shooter's choice to gunslick anhydrous graphite. On my 1911, I've settled (for now) on Dura-lube spray inside and out as an antirust...

Hey folks, there have probably been a hundred threads re: supressors but have never or seldom read them until this one. Heck, I may have asked this one before. I'll pay attention this time. Is the $200 fee a one-time thing?

There was a time in the late '70's when (age 21) I thought that I'd probably be going to jail for an infraction. I knew I'd want a lot of handstrength. You figure it out. Anyway, I had a 6' chain for locking up my motorcycle. The links were about 2" long each, and made of 3/8" heat-treated boron...

My first deer hunt, I used an Uncle's old Win ('92?) in 25-20. It took 5 rapid and well-placed shots to stop the little 4 point, and a 6th to kill it. Everybody (until my lil bro) who ever used it on their first hunt was successful; and that's about a dozen young hunters. There were never any...
