    How much should a gunsmith charge to put a K-frame back together?

    Pay him DOUBLE what he billed. A smith like that needs to be cultivated. s

    Unusual Webley Mk VI

    I recently picked up this MK VI in original 455, made in 1916. It has the bird's head grip frame (which I like) unlike the squared grip I see on all others. Anybody have information on this variant?

    Scope for Marlin 30-30

    No matter what scope you decide upon don't remove the original sights. My newer (1976) 336 has a 1-4x Redfield and see through scope mounts to use the open sights. The other 336 was converted to 38-55 and has a Marbles tang sight, in addition to the Lyman Globe front and folding leaf rear sight. s

    Winchester '94 vs. Marlin 336

    Old Time Hunter: I was not joking. The Marlins are easier to tune and smooth and remain so. New springs and one-piece firing pins go a long way (and cheaply) to improve the Marlins. Mine are not "clunky" and will serve up rounds faster than an equivalent Winchester with less effort (one...

    Winchester '94 vs. Marlin 336

    I have owned as many as 11 Marlin lever actions and 5 Winchesters. I now have 7 Marlins and no Winchesters. The rifle cartridge Marlins of various types (1881, 1893, 1895, 1936, 36, 336) are all excellent performers and easier to clean, maintain and repair (even in the field). The pistol...

    Loading .38 special

    Not preaching, I know from experience; I still have scars on my left arm from a blown cylinder about 15 years ago. The guy was two lanes away and I was fortunately in between him and my 8 and 10 year sons. He was using a 44 magnum Ruger Blackhawk; I was using a 44 amg Vaquero. Be careful...

    Loading .38 special

    Why do so many reloaders insist on making these damn "warthog" loads? Loads at or above maximum are dangerous even in Rugers. What is it that you're trying to prove by shooting these thing? You Tube has dozens of videos of people shooting overloaded rounds and in nearly all of them the shooter...

    Kahr Thompson - Worth having for fun, nostalgia, historical factor?

    I have one of the M1A1 military models with the aluminum receiver. It weighs 9 lbs empty and 11 with a 30 round stick (this model does not accept a drum). This was the cheapest model (since I am a cheapskate); it cost me 750 new in 2007. Mine shoots better the more I use it but the sight screws...

    Model 94, Ruger 10/22 ... What else is in danger?

    The Feds killed Winchester? ROFLMAO!!!! "Winchester" disappeared decades ago. The modern 94 was dropped because it was a failure in pistol cartridges and there were millions 0f 30-30s already out there. Compared to a Marlin it a clumsy clunker. The rifle they should have produced, the 1892...

    Marlin 1894 .44mag...good price?

    OK price for Cowboy model, either with 20' or 24" octagonal barrel. Too much for a carbine. s

    Marlin 1894C

    Cartridge length should be at least 1.44" which includes most commerical ammo except wadcutters. I load my own (RNFPs some JHP) and as long as they meet this minimum OAL they feed fine. I have 2 94s in 357/38 (plus 7 other Marlins in other calibers) and can load 11 38s in the 19" carbine and 16...

    Where's the trash can?

    If it's safe to shoot and you buy or make the ammo, it need never go into the trash. s
