t.r., that is one beautiful rifle, tell us about it?

hfcable

I am so sorry, and will keep them in my prayers.

OI, i have thought about that, in fact i used to have the freedom percussion mini revolver they called a boot gun, with the longer barrel....the manual even you could even said you could load it with 1 gr of bullseye as i recall, but i would like to get a 22 lr that fits this buckle, or maybe sell t...

register all hoods[or maybe hoodlums?] or require a large bold serial number on all sides of the hood and pass strict hood controls that require all hood sales to proceed thru properly license hood dealers, background checks and waiting periods obviously will be implemented and DO IT NOW BEFORE WE S...

as i recall the first year the mini revolver came out, someone, i believe with freedoms blessing, made up special buckles that would hold the little standard mini revolver. they were fancy custom southwestern style buckles.....being cheap i got the standard buckle and the mini gun with 22 mag and 22...

1901's had a variety of barrel lengths: i have one that is 32" and another that is 24", both appear to be factory work.

hfcable

32 gr reloder 7
and any good cast bullet or for me better yet, is the barnes old style .377 diameter bullet; it shoots best in my gun.

i think originally these were two separate rights and it probably relates to old english common law; a coat of arms was essentially a 'carry permit' that allowed persons to go out publicly ,bearing arms, and not be accused of treason/insurrection. to appear outside ones home, bearing arms without a ...

hfcable

i had the steel frame version years ago, and it weighed as much as a rifle, so with factory loads it was actually much more tame than a 454. i think it weighed nearly 7 pounds.

hfcable

you can have an american ffl dealer import for you, it takes a 4-6 weeks wait usually, i have done it from england, but it might be logistically tough from where you are.

hfcable

you did good, they are hard to find at that price. you will really love it when you shoot it; have shot a number of grouse with mine.

hfcable

for 1300.00 you could probably find one of the original ones from long ago. they are much niceer, with light weight shotgun barrel, and better balance,etc.

hfcable

neat gun, but that is a mystery!

hfcable

some day,, some way, we will have to deal with the tyrannical powers the courts have usurped for themselves.

hfcable

dang! that was a missed deal!

hfcable

Sixgun, i have just 'test fired' it, but i have loaded up proper ammo with a couple different bullets, and hope to get it to the range in april,
will definitelhy report the results
and thanks to all for the compliments, it is a really nice rifle, but NOT to nice to shoot.

hfcable

Cable, Thanks for the additional education! A buddy of mine has an 1876 in the same caliber as yours but it was re blued back in the 1950's. Nice feeling gun, I'm a Marlin man but still admire those nice old Winchesters for sure. The Kings patent stamping etc... sure make those old guns interesting...

That is one beautiful rifle. Anytime you want some company when you go out shooting some of those fine old Winchesters, feel free to give me a call. Very nice gun!

will do, in fact we need to organize a far north shoot up here dont we?

hfcable

these sights were optional and often found on the high end guns. they did use these guns in india and africa, but most of those would have had british proofs. teddy roosevelt had one just about like this. the sights make it a lot more usable for many folks. that rear sight woould easily fetch 1200 o...

hfcable

i put one of those on my remington 25, 32/20.
that is a rather valuable sight, saw one go for over 200.00 onebay last year!

I know some of the fellas on the 1876 forum would really enjoy seeing it. That way, Hobie can see it again!

This is the LAST time I'm posting that this is a BEAUTIFUL rifle. How many times DID you post this thing anyway? :shock: :wink: :lol: gosh, Hobie, i don't know, i got 'turned around' and put it in thte wrong spot to begin with, and then....things just went south! no, this one is not for sale, i thi...

thanks, i think you are right[ and my wife has always thought so ].

hfcable

does anyone know? similar to trying the 410 in the 45/70, especially the short 2 1/2" shell. i have a reason for trying this.

hfcable

It appears that my son is uninterested. They will go to my wife with the exception of certain family pieces. This is one reason I'm writing them all up and have an inventory with description and valuation on it. Ammunition is also marked as to which firearm it goes to. I am apparently as anal about...

hfcable

i hope my son will keep the rare valuable items: original 405, 1876, bullard, burgess, whitney-kennedy, 1881 marlin,spencer, etc. the rest i plan to sell off one by one, and in light of my age and health, 2008 is the year that i am starting the sell-off, and in fact have sold an average of a gun a w...

hfcable

well, i got a 356 with dies, and goodies including 11 boxes of ammo from a banker for $325.00 a few years ago, and a 307 for $250.00 and for that matter a 7x30 waters for 225.00 all about the same year! the marlin 375 for 275.00 was on a table along the eastern wall at the show, but it was really ro...

beautiful 94 big bore in 307 winchester with very nice wood for $475.00....the marlin looked like a canoe paddle, wood had little finish and metal only a little better, needed major cosmetics, and i have a very nice 307 big bore already. snagged a savage 24-V 223/20 combo gun for 285.00, like new. a...

i use lace one pad with sorbacoil inner pad; works great, gives me a little greater pull length, which i need, doesn't alter the gun permanently, cost less, looks 'authentic', protects the buttplate and toe of stock.......need i say more, i am convinced this way is best for me.

hfcable

Meant to ask: anybody loaded for or shot a whitney-kennedy?
my results were 'okay' using cowboy action loads, but suspect i need to slug the bore or go to soft lead and black powder for best results.....anybody else done this?

hfcable

Bogus, great guns and great story....looks like you had a really great dad, too. He looks a bit like my dad and my grandfather. Those men were really MEN, not what passes for it in national politics and movies,etc. Thanks!

hfcable

My father started me shooting when i was 2 1/2 years old; i once asked him about this---why that early age---and he looked at me and said that was the same age he started; on further questioning he gave me an amused and slightly bewildered look and said well that was the same age all his family star...

You are a lucky man - do you play the lottery? I have never found anything remotely close to that at a garage sale!!! :shock: it was only 3 years ago, and he had some other good stuff too, like a 3 digit serial number marlin 1881 in 45/70; no finish remaining but metal and wood were very nice other...

my son wants me to post more pictures of things that i have gathered over the years and i will do so, though my photo skills need lots of work compared to most of you guys. i literally found this at a yard sale at the home of a K-mart supervisor, no less. Nice fellow, sold me a 3 screw 357 ruger in ...

hfcable

or you can take it to the range and adjust it with a 45/70 say 400 gr at 1800 fps ought to do it; that is all tv is worth anyway.

hfcable

whoa, you guys have the nice-knife stuff!

hfcable

wonder if it would be possible to leave the round bolt, but install some sort of cover that made it look like the old ones? probably not practical, but i like the old style much better myself.

hfcable

that is truly a beauty and superb work!

thanks Hobie,
you know they wouldn't have to do too much to the extra light weight to reproduce this configuration, and i am sure they could sell a bunch!

hfcable

Think I'll do that to my 76. Lord knows that thing needs to be lightened up and the CG moved to the rear. i have a '76 in 50/95 that is an original and is in this same configuration; it makes for a balanced, great handling rifle. back then the rifles with button magazine had a reputation for better...

hfcable

When you had it turned down, was it enough to remove the mag. tube dovetail or was it filled? Mine has the 26" barrel and I had thought of cutting it to 22" or just behind the mag. tube dovetail. Does the man who did your work still do these types of modifications? If so I would love to c...

hfcable

we didn't shorten the barrel, just turned it down in to the half oct/half round style. cut the magazine tube down, and i had found a button magazine plug from an original somewhere, as well as the buttplate. the barrels on the first run of repros were all 24"; it seems to balance just perfectly...

hfcable

350 gr. speer flat nose, which is a tough bullet, with enough Varget to send it down range just over 1900 fps [this is a modification of a Ken Waters load, i cant claim credit] and it shoots 5 shots into a group just over an inch; i have this load sighted almost 3" high at 100 yds, and is about...

Last, it is a browning 1886 repro; i traded a pre-war colt woodsman for it back in 1986 and after shooting the gun and seeing how phenomenally accurate and strong it was, i decided to make it like an original special order 1886; The front sight, and for that matter the rear and the tang sight are al...

This is the best version to date; replicates early special order model 1886's as seen in the Madis book: has the high grade wood, tang sight http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg196/hfcable/P1000011.jpg http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg196/hfcable/P1000008.jpg http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/...
