My first levergun was my first centerfire.....a mid-70s Marlin 336 in .35 Remington. My father bought it new, at Walmart,
for about $80. I have killed a truck load of deer with that gun.

I have two JM Marlins from the mid 70s. A 30/30 and a .35 Remington. I love them both. I don't think one is significantly "better"
at killing deer than the other. Me and the .35 have been together...

Thanks for the info. The holes are on the right side of the receiver and the stock has been filed to allow clearance.
I would post a pic but I am no good at that. haha

Hello to all. I have a model 94 Swedish Mauser that has been drilled and tapped for a receiver sight.
The spacing is 5/8 inch. The rearward most hole is a larger diameter than the forward most hole....

Hi guys. Can anyone tell me if the receiver sight for a 98 Mauser will also fit a Swede? I'm looking for one
for a Swede and I can't seem to find one specifically for that model. Thanks in advance!...
I have shot a lot of them through my Springfield 1911. Off the top of my head I think it was in front of 5.5 grains of Unique.
I really like that bullet in an ACP.

Several years ago I got my then 10 year old son a Rossi "Matched Pair" youth model in .22 LR/.410. The factory sights aren't the best, but that little gun will shoot. He squirrel hunts with the .410...

I use it in .38 Special, .357 magnum, .45 ACP and .45 Colt. It meters great in my Dillon 550 and all I do is adjust the powder die as needed. I also use it in low velocity cast rifle.
Mine is a great shooter with the ACP cylinder. Lee 200 grain RNFP and Unique. My 1911 loves the same load.
I replaced the factory grips on my Rodeo with some Hogue Ivory Micarta made for the Colt SAA. Because Colt grip-frames vary so widely they make the grips oversize. It took a long time to grind the...

I have shot some 115 grain FP sized .311 in my Winchester with 7 grains of Unique with decent results. I bought some bullets sized .312 for the 32-20 and ran them through a .311 Lee sizer. I then...

What was it you did not like about that cock on opening conversion?

Forum: Special Projects
I have had success with the Lee 200 grain RNFP. I load 'em in my .45 Colts and my .45 ACP. For the ACP I crimp above the actual crimp groove. Feed and shoot great in my two 1911s.

Have you ever tried the Speed-Lock cock-on-opening conversion that Dayton also sells? They sell a package of the trigger and the Speed Lock for about $70. I had thought of trying it on my Swede...
Mine is very tight also. VERY uniform chambers and a tight cylinder gap. It is my most accurate single-action revolver. I have several Blackhawks, but the Rodeo gets carried in the field more.

I have a Rodeo in .45 Colt that I love. Great shooter. I fit some ivory micarta grips to mine and polished the finish up a bit.

My TC Cherokee in .32 shoots best with 30 grains of FFF. I would start at 15 and see where it hits its sweet spot.
