Thanks for the note. The Browning is unfired - I picked it up to allow me to retire the Winchester - its value is climbing. Things happened such as a move, etc. to prevent my playing...

Fellows!

You have just given me another incentive to press on with my rehabilitation. I fell last April and broke my hip. Second I had a knee replacement right after Christmas.

Just getting out...

I now own Winchester 92's, 65 and a Browning 65. Great guns. I had owned a Win 43 in 218 Bee. Not a very strong action and develops excessive headspace quickly. The bolt locks up by the base of the...

Bear in mind that I am in my late 70s. I have used round nose bullets in my lever actions for a good part of those years. Never remember a report of a discharge in the magazine in those years. It...

I hear you:groner: I was a preteen when WWII started so was very aware what was happening. I even contributed my little bit by being a CAP aircraft spotter along the Gulf Coast. Still have my...

I like it!! I will have to check if my Browning Model 65 is drilled and tapped. I bought it so I could stop shooting my Winchester 65 as I am having difficulty using the peep on it. Open...

I was referring to the column headed LoadSource in Wiljen's Reloaders Reference in the load tables. I am doing some load research where that info would be useful to assess whether to use that...

Is there a bibliography listing the load references (source) in detail? Such as date or number.

Just completed a purchase from IllinoisCoyoteHunter:aka BB that went great, all as described and good communication back and forth. Will deal with him again should the opportunity arise.

I keep having the feeling that a lot of the gun owners that have bitches about the NRA are the same ones who do not register and vote. These things cost them time and money so they ride on the backs...

You know how it is in Texas, the 100 miles to Houston for an evenings entertaiment is no big deal but you are a little far.

I thank you for the offer anyways.

I have a original military rifle in very good condition. I also have a few rounds of commercial 6mm Lee Navy cartridges that are part of my collection. I will use them to verify measurements but will...

When I retired and started our move I packed up my molds and knew when I did it that I probably wouldn't touch them for almost 10 years while we cleared the land and did the necessary building. I am...

We were flooded in '79 while we were out of town. I got back and in to the house 3 days after the flood. I picked up a gallon of WD-40 and a sprayer on the way to the house. I flooded everything...

I might as well chime in here. I started casting in 1951 or 52. and have been at it off and on ever since. about to start up again. Retired a few years ago and have been getting the retirement place...

The notched end of the recapper tool is a star crimper. It will have 6 or 8 "notches". Last step in assembly. Look at some old hulls and you will see the creases.

The physically easy way would be to use the butt stock, lower tang and lever from a Win Model 64. However good luck in finding these. Win 1894 purists won't agree but I found the Model 64 a better...

Being an old gray head I have a Win 1894 rifle in .32-40 that I have shot both round nose and flat nose cartridges in. I have 2 old Lyman molds, one round nose , the other a flat nose (don't remember...

Basically his message was that a levergunner who knew his rifle would far out do the "spray and hope" tendencies of many black rifle owners.

I just read Mike Venturino's Down Range article in the July issue of Rifle Magazine.
Levergunners will enjoy this but it might upset a few "black rifle" owners.

I am working on a volunteer project for a not for profit organization that won't be finished until after July 20th. After that, if no other member claims the barrel, I will dig into my stuff that I...

Have you put a price on this barrel?

I have a 1894 rifle with a bad barrel, not reclaimable, that this barrel would fit. Would have to cut down the magazine tube and modify the fore end but those...

The take down procedure is to open the action; flip the small lever on the end of the magazine tube out; use this to unscrew the magazine tube. Once the magazine tube is screwed out, turn the barrel...

I would appreciate info on where I could find that 245499 mold. I have an original Lee Navy and I am playing with the idea of developing cases and a load for it. The original bullet is listed as...
