Hill People Gear Lever Light Mount is what you seek. It will work with the 336 for sure, not sure if it will work for the .22 though.

Wow the few that I bought I thought the peep sight was huge! I plan to thread it just so I can get a finer peep insert. Of course... I've had the gun and sights for a few years now and still havent...

My Miroku made 1892 in .45 Colt bulges brass with light loads (American Eagle 250 grain) but those bulged cases fit fine in both my old and new model Vaqueros. I even checked and they fit in my...

For some reason I cant post pictures anymore?
Anyway, my favorite is my Winchester 1895 .30-06, it's always with me ( in the truck, in hand , or hanging in a saddle scabbard). Its accurate and...

Bore was clean and lightly oiled.
Slug was considerably oversized, it left a sizable ring when it was fully past the crown.
I dont own a micrometer, calipers is all I've got to measure with.
I...

All I've got around is a partial box of American Eagle 225 grain. No bullet pullers handy. Most of my recording stuff is in storage.
I'll try to measure it again but if I get similar results I'll...

I'm having trouble measuring the muzzle (not enough hands) but the grooves in the slug are .437 to .440
I'm going to try again before I send it off. I was going to order some bullets to try, sheesh...

I did that before I even measured it. Drops right through the throats of each chamber.
6 lands and 6 grooves by my count.
It's possible I somehow got the slug started and then canted it I...

Muzzle is the tightest point. It took a bit to get the lead started, once the ring of excess was removed it fairly sailed down the barrel and only needed a light coaxing to get past the forcing cone.
Forum: Cast Boolits
Sorry, I meant to type .451 for the cylinder throats. Not sure how I missed that.
I'm measuring the widest point of the slug not the narrowest. Is that not correct?

I bought a Ruger New Vaquero off gunbroker not long ago. Havent shot it yet but I figured the down time would be a great time to load up some ammo. I've never slugged a barrel before but after...

Closer to $2k most of the time is what I've seen. Saw a used one in Montana this fall for $1700, I quickly put it back on the rack.

I have the mode you are referring too. Deluxe Sporting I believe they call it. Outstanding rifle! I've not shot it much as I was waiting on MVA to send me a tang sight and in the mean time I was...

I'm a Winchester fan though I admittedly own and use Marlin's and one solitary Savage 99. I'm not above wanting to try out a Mossberg 464 one day. The old ones have "history" which is neat but for...

I've been thinking about a pistol sight. It would be about as sturdy as you could get and fairly low. I figure for the closer shots it wont matter although a folding sight totally out of the way...

MVA just shipped my tang sight for my Miroku 73. I have a reproduction "rocky mountain" front sight set aside. I've been thinking about a low fixed rear sight for the dovetail. Just something for a...

Poor picture but my latest is a Zabala made SxS 10 gauge imported by Richland Arms years ago. Needs some work to get up and running again but there is an extra set of barrels to be cut down...

I personally dont care for the look of shortened magazine tubes. So if it were me I'd make one to work full length for aesthetics alone. But it's your rifle so it should look however you want.

I have two .30-40's and a .30-06, I'm hoping to add a .405 to the collection with the latest run. Miroku builds a top notch gun!

Before this I've been using my press mounted to a table with clamps. It works but its a pain to set up and break down when I want to do some loading.

Henry's are butt ugly and I've never had a safety on any firearm move without my knowing it. Buy whatever one you like more.
