I have a takedown winchester 53 that will turn a bit too far when putting it back together. Is this fixable?
Forum: Leverguns
There must be a broken case in there. Have you run a bronze brush from the muzzle end? That might push it out

None of them work well, if they did we wouldn't always be trying to find a better one

That bore looks pretty good where I can see it. No reason it can't shoot good once you get the lead out of it. Not sure what other posters think an old barrel should look like but that barrel looks...

How do I get the striker out of my borden bolt? It's like a remington but there is no slot in the cooking piece to put a coin or whatever. Do I have to get the special tool?

25 edit I re read your post and saw that you also shot at 100. Now if I could get my browning 32 20 not to fall apart between 50 and 100

My browning 32 20 won't shoot straight either. My uberti 32 20 shoots very well.

So I had my 25 20 rebored to 32 20 .306 bore and it shoots well. There is a bit of a hitch when feeding sometimes I have to back off a bit to swing the cartridge into the chamber. Maybe the 32 20...

I have a standard long action magazine and a magnum magazine but no magnum rifle. Both magazines feed 30 06 fine you have to look close to see the difference one has feed lips curving slightly...

I have a Japanese browning 92 In 32 20. It is in great shape, nearly new condition I bought it a few months ago. It won't shoot straight with 115 grain plated bullets that my uberti 73 in 32 20...

I use .430 in my original 92 and .427 in my original marlin 94.

So, I fixed my hammer cocking problem, and my 44 40 shoots great, but it leaves the round in the chamber if I open the action without firing it. It ejects every fired round just fine
Forum: Gunsmithing Tips & Tricks
So I did a trigger job and got my pull to sub3 pounds and got my cocking function back works great now thanks

Looks like welding up the hammer is the best bet I looked at everything else and tried the washer. There seems to be a lot of wear in different areas that are adding up, the worst being the...
Forum: Gunsmithing Tips & Tricks
Yes it cocks if I push the bolt down. I think building up the bottom of the bolt with weld would fix it

I recently bought an old Winchester 92 in 44 40. When I work the lever to chamber a round the hammer follows the bolt to the fired position, I mean it won’t stay on cock. Then I pull hammer back to...

I think I will go ahead with it. My rebore guy said to check if the 32 20 die will size down far enough without the expander. I don’t have the dies yet. I can’t get a liner imported here and I have...

I have a 25 20 with a bad bore. I want to rechamber it to 32 20 but shoot 110 grain .308 jacketed bullets. Can I rebore it for 308 and have it shoot well with a 32 20 chamber?
Forum: Gunsmithing Tips & Tricks
Thats why I lowered the ramp and I have ordered a lower front sight yet so I can lower my peep a bit more. The 30 30 bore was ruined and I had it bored to 38 55

I had the wire spring in my old marlin 93. I had to gouge out metal in my marlin to get it to fit. Once I finally got it in place the double wire left only a couple threads on the securing screw....

A triangle file is the right angle whatever that is. I have heard you can get one with only 2 cutting sides but I didnt have one, just a little hobby set file. I put more pressure up so it wouldn't...
