Awesome job on that restoration and the delicious meat for the winter.
Outstanding on collecting venison and rifle restoration! I have a friend that has a Model 64 rebored by JES to .375-55 and he told me a few weeks back he was thinking about selling and now I want it! I don't need it, I don't need it, I don't need it....maybe I can talk myself out of buying.
Good work.

But Then Again you may need it & are mistaken about not needing it. Maybe ponder in the other direction, might make a fine Tool, & tools are Necessary.
I feel the urge, nice job on the rework. I just got a 375 94 XTR, then the brass and RCBS dies, some jacketed bullets and a 250g plain base mold. So the big bore found a new home. Nice older Win.

JDL - Hope you fail in your quest to talk yourself out of it ! It's a super cartridge and a pure joy to use. ! Try it - you'll like it. !
JDL - Thank you. Time to get your friends .375-55, you won't regret it.

JDL; Well did you get the 375-55? You have us in suspense!!
I bought a 30A Glenfield a few years ago. It was in decent shape but a little wear on the wood. It was in Sporting Carbine configureation (20" barrel, half-magazine). I had JES bore it to 38-55. It was already the slickest, smoothest, best trigger I had ever seen on a Marlin, and now it is my favorite next to my '50 .35 336AD. I've got Lyman and Lee moulds for it so I can shoot gas-checks or not. I've sighted it for 255 gr Barnes J-words right now, over a stiff dose of 3031, but it seems to shoot well with about anything. I retired last fall, but had ticker problems through the spring. I'm looking forward to getting in the woods with it this year.
Hope you can get it, JDL. You'll love it. I'm with Alan with that Barnes 255 grain .38-55 bullet. Just perfection. I've been looking and can not find any anywhere. Hope they come back in production.
I recently purchased a 94AE 30-30 to send to JES but have not had time to ship it Ordered brass, molds & dies all ready to go except we've been working on our church replacing termite damaged flooring & it's a slow go just two of us. Really looking forward to getting it shipped, converted & back home. I have a great wife, she actually encourages me to take on gun projects.
