But a well fitting ziplock bag inside the canvas shot bag to hold the sawdust.
It will keep out moisture and keep in dust.

Another good idea and I do save all my Ziplocks after lunch at work to store cleaned brass in. Ha.

I'll try to remember the plastic bag trick, it will be a while since we got another inch or two of the wet stuff today....

Robert. Keep the feet dry and silly-con on the blueing.

Roy,
Funny you should mention keeping my feet dry. When I went out to the barn to feed the dogs and the horse yesterday morning, I stepped into a slurry of mud right under the dripline of the eaves. Mud about six inches over my ankle. I will swear there used to be a firm gravel base there.

The hose sure was cold rinsing the mud and other things off my foot.

Rubber knee boots from now on while feeding if it even looks wet outside.

Still wondering where the gravel went....

Happy Fathers Day to all my Rim Fire buddies!!!!

Ok. Let's check in here. Has anyone installed a tang sight on their #2 roller yet? IV just about have my Marlin 27 pump 25-20 whipped into shape with an old Marbles M8 tang sight on the way. When I have this one in the black I want to turn my time back to this old freind of a roller here. There's just way to many oLd guns out there in bad need of money and time spent on them and just not enough of either to go around. Lol keep shooting.

Roy - I have this Marbles R3 mounted on my #2 RRB. It's a sweet little 32-20 rifle, and the tang sight helps my old eyes.

[Hooker53]

ND. That's a nice looking sight sitting on a nice looking #2. That's what I would like to find for my roller. That 32-20 is a great caliber ain't it? I love these old guns. Thanks for posting that photo.

Thanks. I'm fond of rollers. I have another #2 in 32 extra long rimfire that I shoot with my own reloadable shells. Also have two #4s, one in 22 LR, the other a 32 long rimfire I converted to centerfire and now shoot 32 long colt. The #4s both have original tang sights.

Thanks for the pic, ndnchf. Looks like a sweet rifle.

[ndnchf]

Thanks, it is a sweet rifle. The #2s are really about the perfect size.

Roy - earlier in the thread you mentioned having a line on a Marbles R3 - did you get it? If so, I can help with getting the correct mounting screws if you need them.

[Hooker53]

I thought I had an R3 but turns out the fellow was wrong on the type he had so I'm still back on the hunt. Ha. OK. Will PM you about the screws shortly. I think i would like a 32-20. Maybe a Savage 23-C if i find a deal on one. I have a Martini Cadet that shots a Mod 32-20. We call them 310 Magnums and I love that little gun. Ha. I would say that the 25-20 and the 32-20 is my Fav's Thanks for that info.

Great week. I finnaly found a tang peep sight for my #2 roller 38 RF. the gentalman that runs Homestead Firearm Parts got a few in. It's a Marbles and comes with three Ap disk. The screws to install it on a #2 and all for under a C note shipped.

While I was at it, I even got one for my Marlin 27 in 25-20 pump rifle. I think Im fixed for awhile on tang sights now. Can't wait to get it on and get it set up. So if any of ya out there needs one, gettem while you can. It's the best price IV seen for a complete kit, so to speak. Keep shooting Guys.

Can you post a photo of that new tang sight on your #2 roller?

[Hooker53]

Hello ND. Yes. Let me get off work tomorrow and fire up the camera and will post one for you. I think I'm gonna like it. Have not installed it yet but will after work tomorrow.

ndnchf, my computer is confused. Ha. Let me get that straightened out and will post a photo. You can PM me your email and can forward it that way. I use an iPad here most of the time and have had no luck posting a photo with it.

Well. Tried out my new tang sight today on my #2 roller. Right happy with it. The only problem I have with it, is it don't go down low enough. I need it to screw down about another .100 thou. The way it's made, don't think I could take it apart and cut any off. Guess I will need to buy a higher front 17-A. I have a .404 on it now. Anyone have a .494 they would trade?? Ha. All in all, think it will be great when I get it ironed out. Keep shooting guys.
