These are great little carbines made by Miroku as already pointed out. Even better than the later ones made by Miroku and stamped "Winchester" because they do not have the ugly tang safety and rebounding hammer.

For those of you who have handled both of these: Is the Micro Midas stock noticeably shorter than the standard length stock? The Micro Midas intrigues me because of its handier, shorter 16" barrel but I'm not a small person and therefore am not sure HOW MUCH of a difference there would be as fa...

Reloading rimfire cases? Never heard of it but please elaborate!

kaschi

For those of you shooting 35 Remington in a 336, how do you find the reliability considering the fact that it's a rimless case? I'm not in the know as to how the 336 internals are set up to function with both rimmed and rimless cases. Someone a little further up in this thread mentioned the "Ma...

Same with 218 Bee and 32-20

There used to be one made in Poland by Pioneer Arms that was a good quality, heavy duty piece. Not sure what happened to that one but Pioneer Arms is apparently still in business. They make among other things AK47s but supposedly those are not good quality.

kaschi

But given a choice, the 18" Naval gun would be preferred!

kaschi

Winchester for me too ANYDAY. Have to admit to owning one Marlin 336T only because I had it rebarreled to 25-35 (with an 18" barrel) and slimmed the forearm down so it doesn't look like a club.

I remember telling a doctor just before getting the prostate exam that I better not see hands and fingers on both shoulders!

Double barrel 12 gauge with hammers loaded with shot. No compressed springs to worry about like in a hammerless gun or with ammo in the mag tube. By using #6 (or similar sized shot), there is less fear of it going through walls than there is with slugs or buckshot. As a backup gun, it's a 38 Special...

Ruger also made a limited run of Hawkeye bolt rifles in 358.

I was thinking about the same as piller but on a larger scale. So maybe someone will take a saintly notion and take St. Patrick's lead.

That's too funny! Here's another "drive by" joke you might like:

In this windy below 32 degree weather, I always make sure to put some anti gel additive in mine. So far I've never had a problem.

kaschi

No, definitely not good whatsoever. It still blows my mind how any company can get sued for a product it sells legally.

Thank you Mainehunter.

If you are willing to share his contact info, I'd like to run a project idea by him. Thank you!

One thing is "believable" about China and that's the nuclear (or maybe it's a coal fired) power plant in the background during the skiing event at the city gates. Man, the American and European anti coal/anti nuclear faction of the kook parties must be having convultions and peeing their p...

Well, ol Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow which means 6 more weeks of winter weather. I grew up 25 miles away from "Punxy" as its called in that corner of the world, but have never been to the weather prediction festivities. Have any of you guys gone to it?

kaschi

As for replacement stocks, MAYBE one from a Browning B92, Rossi or Italian 92 will work. But they could have metric dimensions so how close the fit is would need to be investigated.

kaschi

IIRC, Winchester 1892 and 1894 buttstocks are the same. So if that's true and you see a 92 buttstock for sale, grab it!

He said Hornady 200 grain. I thought it was a 200 gr Corelokt too till I read a little more closely.

Sleepy Joe was there the same day a few hours later to, believe it or not, discuss infrastructure, bridges, etc. Looks like he should have been there in the morning.

As a friend of mine says: "All of my joints are stiff but one!"

About 8 degrees this morning in central PA

Speaking of tying something to a string and swallowing it..... and uncle of mine (the same one I made reference to in another thread this evening told me when he was in the Navy during WW II, a seasick sailor would swallow a piece of raw bacon tied to a string. Then it would be pulled out causing th...

My uncle used to live in Trinidad from 1977-1979 where he attended the gunsmithing school. I visited him there in June 1979 and have fond memories of the trip including some of the people involved with the school, both students and faculty. It's interesting to note that PO Ackley founded that school...

kaschi

Thanks 2ndovc for the answer. I never realized that 1885s came both ways depending on who made them. If given the choice, I'd take the version which you mention is used on the Uberti. How were the original Winchester 1885s set up? As for your comparison between the Sharps and the 1885, I agree that ...

When a person says "traded off a bunch of guns", it sounds like they were replaced with other ones or with items worth their value (snowblower, lawn mower, etc). What were they traded off for? The ones in the pic are good keepers, especially the 94. Can't tell by the picture but it looks l...

kaschi

Always wanted to own one but have not (as of yet anyway). How does the 1885 action operate with regards to the cocking of the hammer? In other words: when you lower the lever, insert a cartridge and raise the lever, does doing so cock the hammer or does it have to be manually pulled back to fire the...

Listening to some country people in England speak sounds a lot like the English spoken in the Appalachian Mountain region of Pennsylvania where I grew up.

That Francis Sell article in AR is a good one. I have all the old mags and love reading them. The AR articles were a LOT more interesting and in-depth back then. In your last paragraph, mention was made of a Remington 141 in 25 Remington. Now THAT has got to be really rare one. I never knew 141s cam...

There is so much wisdom in what all of you wrote. In addition, I'd like to add something that my friends in (now former East) Germany told me back when the Cold War in full swing in the 1980s: Students had to work on farms especially during harvest time and also in kindergartens and old folks homes....

I have a rural address but managed to get lucky enough to receive mine as well.

He does give great advice. I've been reading him since the late 1970s and, as of late, also watching his youtube videos.

As a host on a radio show today said, if Donald Trump had shot someone in a similar fashion, Alec Baldwin would be yucking it up on SNL doing skits of the tragedy.

Nice buck you got there Doc, but it's interesting that your state allows FMJ bullets for hunting.

Nothing like the "element of surprise". With open carry, a guy shows all of his cards which is not the way to win a card game.

Does it burn the meat?

Nice old picture! Looks like all Winchesters there.

kaschi

i don't have one but a friend has a 4006, and being all stainless steel, is built like a tank. As a matter of fact, the 4006 is the first pistol chambered for the 40 S&W cartridge and S&W actually designed it around that cartridge. Can't tell you much about the Model 411 except for the fact ...

Only if he's "bored"! LOL

My first purchase with my own money was a 1930s era, well used 12 gauge modified Winchester Model 12 pump shotgun. Bought it in June 1979 for $212 including tax and still have it!

kaschi

Thank you for the clarification on all the different styles of latches, Steve. Much appreciated!

kaschi

@ Ray: yeah in today's shooting with a Walker for casual fun and playing Old West, it's not a big deal if the lever falls and there are definitely quick fixes. If I owned and shot one, I've thought about the idea of using a rubber band to hold it up. Now, let's go back to the mid 1800s where a guy w...

kaschi

From what I understand, the loading lever on the Walker falls during recoil and that was supposedly rectified with the Dragoon series. Although people have said they those loading levers also drop under recoil. Too bad Colt didn't come up with a better holder. I've had an 1860 Army in the past and i...

I also have a 20 gauge from the 70s, great little pump(!) but I've always wanted to replace the stock with an English style straight one and the pump handle with a thinner (smaller in diameter) style. The one that's on it now looks like something you could sell to an Eskimo to club seals with.

kaschi

One thing I will say: The threads are not the same for all 1894 SRCs!!! OR maybe better: replacement ones are not all the same as the originals!!! I have a 94 SRC made in the 1920s that was given me by an uncle. It had the ring cut off but the stud was still there and easy to remove. In the 1980s th...

I don't carry a revolver for EDC but remember reading the following more than once which was often mentioned/discussed in gun magazines as far back as the 70s. There it was stated that should you have an altercation with an individual and potentially have to draw a sidearm, most perps will back down...
