Show and tell Lever actions

[11Charlie]

No different than without the can.

How is it with out the can? What kinda range do you get with it?

 

[wired]

I really dont shoot much over 100 yards with it. Seems to hold 3-4 inches at 100 yards with the iron sights.

Where did you get the threading done @wired ?

I would have had Tornado Technologies do it but they seem to be a victim of their own success.

Did you ship them the whole gun or did you remove barrel and ship just the barrel. I have a local outfit I trust (Benchmark barrels) to do the threading but they are not comfortable with removing a barrel and re-installing on a lever gun.

 

[wired]

Just sent the barreled action. He fixtures it up and cuts with the barrel attached to the receiver. It was painless other than the damned reassembly. Those levers arent a lot of fun to put back together.

 

[osprey]

Good to know! I have had a couple of mine stripped down most of the way to slick them up anyway, so I probably could remember how they go back together without too many leftover parts . That is unless the turnaround time is longer than my memory.

… A bit pricey, but still...

Bushnell - 1-4x32

Plain old Rossi M92 in 45 Colt. ...with Tirant silencer attached. 320 grains at 1000 FPS packs quite a punch

I have been thinking about threading my Rossi M92 to take my Gemtech G-45, however I want to get the sight arrangement figured out first. I don't see much clarity of the irons on your Rossi. How is that working for you?

 

[wired]

They are visible over the top of the silencer. No problem.

The model 65 Winchester I bought as a wall hanger is done. [for now]
It was hard to leave some of the damage in the wood. But that's the look.

Internally this rifle is almost new. With a bright bore and almost no wear to the action.
It was just stored poorly.

If I had a large, cheep supply of 25-20 ammo. I'd run another 10,000 rounds through it.

A 65 is basically a 92 with a pistol grip, shotgun butt plate, factory trigger job [These were varmint guns]. And a few other goodies.
Only about 7600 were made. And only about 1,350 in 25-20 [18%].

Damn you Medic! You always have the cool ones. I would love to see your whole collection.

Collection? It's just a bunch of junk.

 

[11Charlie]

YA YA YA!! But working on them and doing what you do to them is half the fun.

 

[Medic!]

It's 90% of the fun for me.

 

[DeanMk]

Nice job, Medic.
That gun looks amazing.

LOL!...ok, so maybe the Bushnell isn't so "pricey".

 

[Lasers]

Please, excuse the new school stuff. Finally got my hands on this 30-30 after 6 months of trying to arrange a meetup with a busy (and patient when for when I was busy too) seller. Can't wait to get out and shoot her!

Now "that's" a beaut. You did right leaving the butt alone on that one. Gorgeous!

When I was working in the forest today, I brought along the .30/30.
