Bazoo, you have great taste. I also love old guns, especially those with a lever.

One of my first shade tree smithing project was making a full stock mannlicher-type carbine out of a 7mm ‘93. Went down the road years ago but was fun to build and shoot.

Interesting ! I like Hodgdon and love RCBS. They will have big shoes to fill to keep RCBS on top.

Same thing here. Just mounted a scope on my 357 mag stub barrel project with high rings. The hammer clears the eyepiece but waiting on a Grovtech extension to make cocking not a gymnastic move.
Eddie, was wondering the same thing. Why fool with perfection. But I thought the same thing about the 3 1/2” 12 ga.

Yes, here at 1700’ in Central NYS we can get accumulating snow in 8 of 12 months. When our weather stops changing then we will worry.
