Nice piece! I have that same scope on one of my contender barrels. It is a super 14 chambered in 7mm L&L. It is a .444 Marlin necked down to 7mm. It is a shooter! 3/8 groups at 100 is the best I ever...

A drop of muratic acid would tell the tail.

+1 what Hickory said. There are plenty of people that would want a good lever gun in .44. Sell it and buy whatever caliber you want.
Personally, I would rather shoot a sedate and accurate load than a heavy recoiling load to show how big my #%$& was and wonder why on earth I am shooting it!
And I'm not recoil sensitive. I own 4...

I commend you for feeling bad that you lost that deer. I was bow hunting with a guy who shot a buck and it looked like someone dumped a 5 gallon paint can of blood. Never found that deer. While we...

I would call Browning about it and see what they say. May get some new ammo out of the deal.

You nailed it. I got it to stick and could see the transfer bar hung up on the firing pin. I pushed the base pin back and it freed up. The plunger was free. I can push the base pin back and it never...

The thing with mine though, is if I lock it into place, the hammer still doesn't go to full cock. I have to lower the hammer then recock it. Almost like the hand is binding on the back of the...

Well, I ran across the freeway to Cabela's and picked one up in black. Brought it home and started just cycling the action. It sometimes would only go to half cock and no further. At that point I...

It looks like a pretty simple firing pin. Do you have the ability to make one?

I keep thinking that I need one of these, then I think, well, I have a colt frontier in the safe that needs to get out.
Then I figure, another .22 revolver in the stables wouldn't be a bad thing,...

I have an ADL from the mid 90's in .223 that I have put untold thousands of rounds through killing ground squirrels. Pretty much any time I touch the trigger, something dies. No experience with the...

70 grains of black in my contender handgun is a lot of fun to shoot and not punishing at all.

I had a guy bring me a 58 with the pin rusted into the steel frame. I soaked it in wd40 for a week. Everyday I went and tapped on the pin with a brass punch and my four oz hammer. It finally broke...

Interesting thread. I only dry tumble with a small amount of Cabela's polishing compound in it. A whole bunch of years ago I bought 1000 once fired military brass to feed my ground squirrel...

Congratulations! The first is always special. Well done to both of you.

Without looking at it, my gut tells me $250 is too much if it is as you described. I would offer $150 and be prepared to walk away. But that is just me. The push feed model 70's aren't anything...

Very cool! What type rifle were you using, and any pics?
Forum: Leverguns
I have one in .450 Marlin that I am looking to turn into a cast shooter. I have not measured a fired case yet, but will. A .458 Lee 405 rnfp slips into the case, so I'm thinking about .460.
I was...

I am looking at getting a high wall in 45-70 and was wondering what others experiences are with the different stocks.
A little background. I have lost 40 l s due to a quad bypass and having...

We weren't in Vegas. We live in Reno, but his hunt was in Yerington. It is a shotgun only zone if hunting down in the valley where we were. He could have used anything if we were in the surrounding...
