    Honestly, I walked away the first 2 times because of it being right handed bolt, and the chambering. I tend to think of guns having a useful purpose instead of just collecting, and right now I don’t...

    I had a little free time today, so grabbed the Jap and walked out to the back of the property. The temp was about 4 degrees out, and I didn’t feel like shoveling off the bench, so I threw up a target...

    Sporterized type 99 Japanese Arisaka

    I had to go to fairbanks the other day to drop off a trailer I had sold. The roads are super crappy out, so the wife had no interest in tagging along for the 100 mile ride at 35-40 mph. I got done...

    I actually looked for a designated 38 revolver for awhile since the chances of me shooting 357 are low since I like real big bores. I didn’t find anything I liked up here, so bought that 586 because...

    Grabbed my phone since I have a photo of the 586 on here. I swapped out the Rubber pachmyers for a set of Altimont target grips.

    This gun shoots well too, but not as impressive as the K38. It’s...

    I looked for a model 15 for awhile and never found one locally. Saw a few beat up ones on gun. Broker that I could afford, but never committed. Last year I found a good deal on a virtually unfired...

    Good grief this gun will shoot.

    Five shots on each card at 7 yards. This gun will out shoot me any day of the week. I think it’s a keeper!

    On a side note, I did swap out for a set of target...

    About 3 months ago something caught my eye at one of the gun shops I go to. I didn't have the cash at the time, and begrudgingly left the beauty behind.

    H110 really only works well in the 44 magnum with the heaviest of loads, and if I'm going for a heavy 44 mag load, I'm going with a heavier bullet then a 240gn.

    Marlin 50 Alaskan questions.

    Last fall I picked up a Marlin 1895 GBL rifle with some ideas in my head to convert it to a 50 Alaskan. The GBL was manufactured by Remington and has a 18” barrel with a full length 6 round tube and...

    Yeah, I would like to contact him as well. I’m missing the aperture on mine, and would love to get another. Standard ones don’t fit, since he used metric threads.

    13oz is crazy light for a scope. I have a Vorex viper 1-6x24 on my 375 Ruger and I think it is 22 oz.

    If only for target shooting, you might get away with the scout, but I am not a fan. It puts...

    I’ve had two of the Remington made Marlins. The first one was the 1894 44 mag. It was a problem child. Most of the screws on it had chips in the heads from over tightening or whatever. The barrel was...

    Yeah, when we lived in a a camper I learned a lot about stability and jacks. Jacks that come down at a angle instead of straight down are incredibly more sturdy.

    Yeah, it seems like Marlin may have been using Ballard cut rifled barrels on limited production guns. I believe I read somewhere once that the 336 based 45/70 was originally supposed to be a short...

    It may be walnut, but it looks like birch. It has that light bling color, and the finish on it seems very close to what I’ve seen on savage rifles. Maybe a Walmart special?

    My understanding is that Marlin went back to Ballard style rifling on the big bores back in the late 90s, but it wasn’t advertised as Ballard cut until Remington took over. This one is a JM stamped...
