It depends on how easily one is impressed that decides if it's remarkable!

I'd like to have a 351WSL and would not hesitate to use it on deer if it were permitted here in PA. I have a Model 1910 in 401 WSL and really like it! The recoil isn't bad, maybe like a 44 Magnum in a lever carbine. Have not shot it in a while. I'll bet the 351 is really mild in the kick department.

kaschi

Although I've never shot one in 38 Special, something tells me that as far as the report and recoil are concerned, it'd be the closest in that regard to shooting an 1866 in 44 Henry RF.

kaschi

I'd bet that the lack of recoil would not allow a pointed bullet in a 22 Jet to detonate a primer in front of it. My guess is the same result would occur with the 25-20 and 32-20 but that's as far as I venture! I've personally seen guys who (stupidly in my opinion) use 35 Remington 150 PSP CL bullet...

The AR article from the late 70's mentions the conversion that was DONE in the 20' or 30's. 303 loaded rounds would have been readily available way back then for sure. Again I'll say that I'm not planning on doing the same thing but only wondered why that particular round was chosen for a re-chamber...

kaschi

I never said I wanted to do it but was just curious as to how difficult (or simple) it would be vs. cost. I also wondered why the individual in the article did it. Maybe it would be a good project just for the sake of doing it when you're really bored and have another 94 sitting around begging for a...

kaschi

While "rifling" through old American Rifleman magazines, I ran across an article in a 1978 or 1979 issue about the history of a particular Win 94 re-chambered to 303 Savage. What do you think about such a conversion and how difficult or easy would that be to do? Thought the topic would mak...

There were more 95's chambered for the 7.62x54R than for any other cartridge. Most of them must still be in Mother Russia but hopefully will be coming soon.

kaschi

The wife and I went to a costume party for Halloween. She dressed up as a brick........and I was was the brick layer.......

kaschi

No doubt that the 94 action is strong enough for the 30-30 family of cartridges. It's just not as slick as an 86 or 92 and therein lies the difference. If there were an 86/92 style action designed around the 30-30 and its offspring, you would definitely be able to cycle it quicker than a 94. That's ...

The rifles pictured do not look like they have tang safeties, so that's at least good. They need to get rid of the angle eject and make them EXACTLY like they were made in 1894 or no one will buy them. More original calibers need to be added as do variations like SRC's. The prices on "plain&quo...

Most writers, not all, are simply just that, writers. Blowhards who elevate themselves to make themselves look and sound good. I have a cousin who writes for a publication, the name of which I won't mention. He comes out with some of the most outrageous lies that I actually have called him and said ...

kaschi

Like Hobie said, the Model 70 was chambered for the 35 Remington so it's not like Winchester had a problem stamping "Remington" on a rifle. Another member said that Winchester was already making the Model 71 in 348 so that sounds like a good reason not to chamber the 35 Rem in the 94(plus ...

kaschi

Hey Don, I like the front end of that John "Deere" near your "Elk". Is that a 3010, 3020, 4010 or 4020? It could be others but the height makes it look to be one of them.

kaschi

The 405 WCF is a great cartridge, but I wonder if the Krag action is strong enough to stand up to it?

kaschi

Like 2ndovc said his buddy's was stolen out of his truck so that one was a fine truck gun. Maybe it still is a fine truck gun.....in someone else's truck unfortunately!!! (Sorry for the bad taste in joke but couldn't pass it up).

kaschi

I've heard about the recoil being similar to a 45 due to the floating chamber but still can't figure out how that works. I mean the pistol itself is pretty heavy so how do you get that much kick out of a 22? They are really nice pistols and I'd love to have one. USFA is making one now, at least that...

kaschi

I think there are enough old cartridges!

kaschi

Thanks for the replies. I would have never guessed those would be "historically correct" for a SRC. When I think of a SRC being in a saddle scabbard with swivel eyes and a sling attached, it just doesn't seem logical considering that most SRC's probably were shipped out west where hunting ...

kaschi

Does anyone know if 1894 SRC's ever came with swivel eyes installed? I have a 94 SRC that has the large "eyes" that look like they were made for hooks or s/thing like that. These are definitely old, but just didn't know if they were add ons by s/one at some point in the distant past or of ...

While you're there, Marlin32, tell them besides manners they should learn better English in their spare time....

Here in PA it's the same thing with coyotes. 20 yrs ago you never saw one, now they are everywhere eating deer. A(denied) Game Commission plot to reduce the herd but they will never admit it. If I lived where some of you live with wolves around, I'd be shooting every one I saw.

kaschi

A note about the Model 14 Carbine in 25 Remington. One was on gunbroker last month and had over 50 bids. It finally sold for something like $2800 and it did not look in pristine condition. It had a pistol grip which I never knew came on the 14 Carbine.
Thought they always had straight stocks.

kaschi

Looks better there than it would on, say, a Luger.....

kaschi

I'm not sure of the year but sometime after WWII(could have been in the 50's or 60's) they went from the internal extractor to an external extractor due to reliability issues. I did not read every post in detail here so s/one may have mentioned it. There were some made a few yrs ago with the tangent...

I have it bad but have been sleeping with cpap for 8 years. My life is so much better now! It pays to do a sleep study. My doctor told me I had one of the worst cased he had ever seen with a sleep interruption averaging once a minute! One thing to keep in mind: If you ever travel overseas, get a tra...

God, the thought of a copperhead or rattler slithering in would be my nightmare!

My 30 W.C.F. Model 55 Takedown has factory sling swivels. Don't know if they all did. S/N jives with 94 S/N's. I'm not sure if they all were like this or if they had their own series(like some or all? Model 53's).

kaschi

There is also the take down version. I have one in 25-20. Without digging it out, I'm thinking the 53 has a 22" barrel instead of the usual 24" for rifles and
20" for carbines.

kaschi

And the 7.62's rim is beveled which looks like the 35 Win, 405 and 30-40 Krag. The 33's is flat, correct?

kaschi

Thanks for your help, men. I soon give it a whirl.

Could someone please explain how to upload pictures to the classifieds from a home computer? I'm finally learning how to take pictures with a digital camera but could not figure out how to get them from there to here. My wife couldn't figure it out either and she's pretty good with that kind of tech...

kaschi

If this was mentioned somewhere forgive me, but look at the folding metal stock design of the German MP40 submachinegun and you will see it also looks like the later ones seen on AK's.

kaschi

I don't know why the levergun manufacturers have their panties in a knot over rebounding hammers and safties. Seriously, lowering the hammer on a Colt SAA or a USFA revolver follows the same principle as lowering the hammer on a lever rifle and there are no extra safties to manipulate on these. Poss...

kaschi

Hopefully, the makers(plug in names here) that make replicas of leverguns(plug in models/calibers here) will put the effort into turning out a good quality product instead of half-assing it, like so many have done in the past. What a waste of everyone's energy, money and time on both manufacturer an...

kaschi

Just ran across this info that is bound to make people happy. Supposedly, Chaparral is making a Winchester 94 clone. That's all I know at this point. Is this the same company that has an 1886 in the works?

kaschi

Thanks for the help. That is really an extensive list of parts suppliers! Almost forgot about Steve. I'll have to get in touch with him.

kaschi

That sure is one cute carbine!

kaschi

Thanks for the replies. When you say "parts for Winchesters" do you mean original parts from the old days? The reason I ask is that I'll bet they would command pretty hefty prices. If the Italian or Rossi ones would work, that might be the best solution. Hopefully that individual that migh...

kaschi

Is it possible to use Ross or Italian 92 clone parts(lever, undertang,hammer) in my (new version) 92 Winchester? I'd hate to buy parts only to find out the hard way that this won't work. The other back up plan would be to swap out those same parts of a Browning 92 which I have and then sell the Brow...

kaschi

Nice clean rifle. Standard barrel length for 94 rifles was 26" and I believe that is what yours is.

kaschi

Hey 3T: I have one NIB I wanted to sell a while back, later changed my mind and kept it, but now am willing to part with again for a good price. If you're interested, email me. kaschi@comcast.net
Thanks.

The wife and I love Columbian coffee. Years ago we were drinking the Maxwell House brand and felt they changed the roasting procedure so we went to Folgers and feel they have done the same. Now we drink Eight o' Clock Columbian and love it. Get the whole bean variety and grind it until it's pulveriz...

Correct. "Low German" dialects are not only spoken in northern Germany today. Holland Dutch is indeed a low Germanic dialect(as is Flemish which is spoken in Belgium and I believe parts of southern Holland and Luxembourg). I lived in Germany for 7 years near the Dutch border and could rece...

It is brewed in Holland(aka "the Netherlands")! Dutch is the language of Holland and the people of Holland are Dutch. Not to be confused with "Pennsylvania Dutch" or "the Pennsylvania Dutch" , who are really German and speak an old dialect of the German language which o...

Everyone needs to experience a 10mm. Great cartridge. I've got one in a S&W 1006.

kaschi

If you can't speak German after all that resusitation (spelling?), you ain't never gonna!
Sadder than the accident itself is the fact that it was Dutch beer in Germany of all places!!! Should be enough to make anyone yodel in misery.

kaschi

That thing really is cool. I'm surprised no one has made a repro of it yet.

kaschi

I've maintained for several years now that some US manufacturer (Ballard or Shiloh as examples) should simply make 86, 92 and 94 receivers and sell them that way. Then a guy could have a rifle or carbine built to his own specs in a caliber of his choosing. My gunsmith buddy worked for KBI in Harrisb...

Is that at the Letterkenny(spelling?) base near Roxbury? Blue Mountain is beautiful.
