    Marlin went back to Ballard rifling and now S&W is going retro too. Probably for the best.

    I have virtually new examples of both. Both have their strong points and both have their foibles. Both of my examples will shoot under 2 MOA with good ammo with their issue sights. Fact is, I have...

    Marlin Model 39a

    As a youth I had the longer barrel rifle model of the Model 39 with the pistol grip. For some reason (dumb, dumb, dumb!) I traded for the Model 39a while stationed in Texas in the early 70s. While...

    I like to duplicate the old US Army cavalry load, the 45/55/405.

    At 1,100 fps it is mild and the 405 grain bullet carries well out to extended ranges. I get better accuracy with it than with the...

    I always enjoyed visiting with Richard Hoch at his shop in Montrose. Dave Farmer bought his business and is still making his design of top pour molds.

    35 Calibre Bullets

    That's a good goal to strive for with your rifle. I would suggest a gas check for velocities over 1,200 fps in your rifle, although I get up to 1,600 fps out of a 357 Magnum rifle using 180 grain...

    Don't overlook a good used Model 19/Model 66 or K38/Model 14 revolver. That should give you a few more options when looking for that good shooting K Frame Smith.

    I personally prefer a Model 19...

    What a great accomplishment!

    I was working on that distinction, but 9-11 happened and shooting teams and matches fell to the wayside given the operational tempo of my units in the GWOT. I did...

    I like to shoot at longer than normal ranges so I opt for fairly heavy bullets. My favorites are bore riders like the 311299 and the 311334. With the 1 in 10" twist of the US Military rifles, best...

    In my experience, the heavy bullets work best in the M1 Garand as reliability is a function of gas port pressure near the muzzle. Powder burn rate and bullet weight all play a part with it.

    Model 94 Rear Sight

    I haven't seen one of those in years. You might try E-bay for one.

    32 Specials are pretty popular here on the Lever Action subsection of the site. If you need load suggestions or just...

    As suspected 6bg16ga. S&W probably has different height sights for zero purposes. Perhaps an E-mail to their customer service would help. I've always liked Patridge front sights for a good black...

    Speer/Hornady 32/20 bullets

    I'll second that info on the swaged Hornady or Speer .32 cal bullets. They are also the cat's meow in my 30/40 Krag (.310" bore) too, particularly for rabbits and for youth shooters.

    Me too. With the 210 grain SWC designs, it duplicates the old police load that was issued for use in the Model 58 service revolvers. Great load.

    32 Special

    Just got to love 32 Specials and that slow twist which handles cast bullets so well. You found a real treasure Bayou52. I'll bet that it gives you years of pleasure on its second lease on life.

    Regarding the threaded muzzle, the Johnson rifle's recoil operation negates much weight on the barrel for reliable function so a suppressor is probably out of the question.
