country_gent, I will check out the Sig 232. I thought about a higher capacity mag but already have maybe eight standard capacity mags in two makes. Couldn't talk myself into buying more. None have...
I'm not looking for adding mag capacity, rather someplace for my pinky finger to grip. No one I have contacted makes them for the Mustang. Before scratch making a couple I figured I'd ask around. ...

A bunch of good info there, thanks! I had done some trolling for cast bullet/powder input and one thing that came up was powder position sensitivity. A powder bulky per unit of weight was...

Thinking about gearing up to use WW cast bullets in the 22 Hornet at sub-sonic velocities. Not for silencer use, I want a reloadable substitute for the 22LR for small game if rimfire ammo becomes...

I was tempted to bandsaw the top off mine and raise the comb shot gun style on a pair of posts. I don't plan to return the rifle to stock but who knows what the future holds for original Marlin...

Looks like I'll roll the dice on the Hornady. The wife is trolling for Christmas ideas, if I don't give her something to buy me I can use I'll end up with books I won't read or videos I won't watch....
Forum: Leverguns
It is not the cast-off I'd like changed - although some amount might be in order - it is the height of the comb which I'd suggest will require a raised cheekpiece. I have located a source for stock...

I have my Western Auto Marlin 336 30-30 converted to 45 Colt up and running. Before it gets taken back apart for refinishing I am first hunting deer with it this year. It has a odd level of recoil...

Had a Pact for 25 years I bought used in the mid 90's. Had it repaired once. I contacted Pact maybe two years ago to see about having it repaired again to find I'm outa luck. So I bought a Hornady...

The scope has been moved forward. Gun reassembled, so of course rain today. Wine grapes are coming on fast so getting the bench out again will need to wait until after harvest. Regarding the...
Forum: Leverguns
Finally scored a sunny day and time to play. Set-up the chronograph and bench mid-morning. I'd been the eye doctor so I got a late start. Anyway, needed to make sure the gun functioned with live...
Forum: Leverguns
Moleman, Plan was to shoot it enough today to get crono info and zero the scope - it rained. I did smoke over the extractor but it's been years ago, I've since forgotten what was done. I'll give it...
Forum: Leverguns
With the rifle held normally, the extractor allows a dummy cartridge to droop just a wee bit and pulls it in the direction of the ejection port. So, down and to the right. Nothing wrong with any of...
Forum: Leverguns
I just demo'd cycling three rounds through mine for a curious neighbor. An additional observation reinforcing my desire for a longer ejector . . . that when cycled slowly the extractor absolutely...

After . . . lost count of the days looking, I popped for a Sig Sauer. The 30mm tube has been holding me up. Not that there aren't any offerings but the 30mm tube seems to fall in the pricey end of...

Increase in worth? This was a back room special - condition too sorry to go out front. Had to describe what I was wanting a beater 336 for before the pawn shop guy would admit to having it. Think...
Forum: Leverguns
Got caught up in black bear hunting in western NC where the shots are usually quite close and thought having both a rifle and revolver sharing the same round made sense. At least it rationalized the...
Forum: Leverguns
Gtek - Good thought on the problem with moving the ejector forward, I hadn't considered the domino effect of the move. I will give consideration to your thoughts of mounting something to the inner...
Forum: Leverguns
I will see if my 23 year old digital camera is up to the task. What aspect are you most interested in seeing?
Forum: Leverguns
When cycling loaded rounds of a 325gr LFN there is (without measuring) about .750" of surplus bolt travel before the case contacts the ejector. If I cycle slowly, like when emptying the rifle in a...

I'll check it out. Thanks.
gumbo -my bad, I did mean that I prefer capped turrets.
Forum: Military Rifles
Finished an AR15 in 7.62X39 early this year and since the only scope laying around was for an unfinished lever gun project I repurposed it to the AR. The scope has an illuminated red dot in a circle...
Forum: Leverguns
I'm in the final stages of converting a 30-30 Western Auto 336 Marlin to 45 Colt. Test firing and refinishing remain. The ejector could stand to be longer so I was wondering, what shorter...
Forum: Rimfire Area
roysha, thanks for the suggestion. The Sig is taller by 1.1" longer by 1.4" and wider by .4" which is what I'm running into. The Ruger LCP II Lite is not as tall by .2", shorter by .4", so it'd...
