Well boys and girls, I'm in the camp that doesn't want a rear leaf barrel sight on my rifle. I find them to be located at just about the balance point for convenient carry. I take mine off and...

Hey there 762 -- I would save yourself some potential grief and not even consider the Armi Sport or Chiappa rifles. Stick with the Pedersoli, they are a very good rifle.

I was working with mine...

Hey there Hooterville -- This is what the dovetail and magazine hanger look like.

Hey there Bigslug -- Jeff Michel offered some good advice. You might consider getting a Skinner front blade sight and filing it down to adjust your Marbles tang sight to shoot a 50 yard zero with...

Hey again Mark -- You might consider a Marbles folding rear sight with windage to compliment your tang sight. ...

Hey there joatmon -- You might contact http://www.marblearms.com/home.html and order a #995002 screw set. Hope this helps. Best regards. Wind

Well boy and girls -- The "Weak Winchester Toggle Link Action" story constantly bandied about the internet is pretty much BS. Here is what Oliver Winchester had to say about it...

"The...

Hey there Knarley -- You might consider not building a lever action howitzer class load. It isn't necessary. What would really help the cause is a good set of sights, preferably a good tang...

Hey there AbitNutz -- Here's how the Marlin 1894 Cowboys played. Anything else is pretty much "standard". Short of the color cased receivers, there were no differences in the bluing or wood...

Hey there Scharf -- That's one of the beautiful thangs about the 26" barreled Cowboy. You can pour three or four 45-70 cases full of lead and make removable barrel weights for your off hand...

Hey there MJS -- The Marlin 1895 Cowboy and Limited series rifles are very nifty. However a little clarification may be in order. The 1895 Cowboy came with a 26" barrel, and was just that - an...

Hey there h64 -- You might consider slugging your bore. Easy enough to do, just run a soft lead ball from muzzle to breech. Picking up a set of RCBS Cowboy dies will facilitate loading cast...

Hey there Naphtali -- I'm running some 122 year old magazine springs, as well as extractors and ejectors in several Marlin 1893's and 1894's. Unmodified, they should last your lifetime.

Hope...

Hey there corbinace -- You might be able to solve your problem without removing the extractor. The case head is probably not getting under the extractor claw. Use a flat tip screwdriver and...

Hey there Mike -- Looks like you are on your way. I recommend increasing your Unique charge to 9.5 to 10 grains and I think you will find a smile or two. I too am hoping to see some 2400 on the...

Hey there Greg -- Generally 30-30's and 38-55's will do just fine! I can ring a ram with a 405 grain 45-70!! You might consider what you have available for ammunition as well. Matches run from...

Hey again Battis -- Seems to me a box of Black Hills cowboy loads might just be a prudent solution to the situation. Old rifles and ammunition can make for some interesting range trips! She, as a...

Hey there Battis -- You guys might consider slugging the bore and getting an idea of the correct bullet diameter you'll need. The only extra step in your tear-down rebuild plan would be to order...

Hey there UKShootist -- The 1895 Cowboys are great rifles.

Your manufacturing date is in that transitional period where you may get a receiver drilled and tapped for a receiver...

Hey there Brazos Jack -- Doing a chamber cast in a '73 can be problematic!! The magazine cutoff and cartridge feeding are related to the length of the lifter. The cartridge just fits this...

Hey there 3B -- Without pictures I wouldn't hazard a guess on value. Marlin mostly carried the 1893 design through the Model 36. This basically used a flat bolt and single trigger/sear set up. ...

Hey there 264WM -- You might consider trying some 2400. My 25-36Marlin adores the stuff. They are very similar cartridges. Actually Winchester made some minor changes to Marlin/UMC's design and...

Hey there Terry -- There may be plenty of folks out there capable of doing relines. I am however a big fan of John Taylor's http://johntaylormachine.com/ work. When you get your rifle back, you...

Hey there mustanggt -- Tom at Accurate should have you covered. http://www.accuratemolds.com/index.php Just include the drop diameter you desire when filling out the ordering information.
