Lets get a some lever action #### going

Hey guys.. I saw!.. Did not touch!.. But dam I wanted to! It was a 44-40 Little Big Horn!. It was in the box it came in.. The box also looked new. No dog eared box corners.. In the box is a box of 44-40 that came with the gun when it was new. The gun has not even been loaded.. There's no indication the the hammer has ever been pulled back!... Theres not a mark on this gun! $1200 is not a bad price for it. Iv seen a few Commemorative 94s before but nothing like this one!

Now if I can figure how to post pics!

That's a beauty bunch of 71's! How well is the Pedersoli fit and finish compared to the Browning versions?

Pretty good, typical Pedersoli fit and finish. The comb on the buttstock is very thick, much thicker than the originals, which themselves are a bit on the thick side compared to a Winchester 1886. Makes for a fair bit more felt recoil than an 86 or 71

Unfired!... does not compute...

Just picked up three boxes of Hornady 7mm 154 grain Interbonds for $24.99 per box (100)... at the same store where you found the '71... they clearly have pricing issues... works for me... and you... ;)
 
Hey guys,
This is my first post here, so sorry if it's in the wrong place. I have a Winchester Model 94 serial number 1158430 (I think that puts the manufacture date between 1938-1940ish). Any thoughts on value? Or, where to post in this forum to figure out value?

The rifle shoots damn straight (considering no sight...), and is is pretty good shape (to my untrained eye). There is a little surface rust, which I didn't clean up at all yet. It is a top eject (so any sight would have to be a side-mount sight).

Thanks for looking!

Nice rifle Kamlooky but are those ammo really 33 WCF?
Click to expand...

Yup.
45-70 sqwished down and I used .338 bullets.
Pointy, so not thrilled, but they will do.
There are round nose bullets offered out there, but not flat nozed.
At least I haven't found them yet.
I'm pretty confident that round noze bullets shouldn't cause mag tube
grief. Only if they will load.
Had to sink them pointies pretty deep.
Charged them up with 40grs of IMR 4320.
Should have sum gewd shoulder thumppity thump.

I've also used 338 bullets for my 33 WCF.. 200 gr. and file the nose flat. . Round nose has worked best with the nose flattened. .

You can make a jig . . Drill holes through a small piece of plywood or better a piece of fir or oak milled to the correct thickness. . Then fasten to a flat piece wood stock; 3/4" plywood or lumber. .

Place a handful of bullets in the jig and with a piece of 80 grit sandpaper, on a block, make the tips of the bullets flat. .
 
These are not my pics, but I feel these need to be in this thread as I have just ordered one of the last ones they brought in.

Chiappa .44 Magnum Alaskan Scout takedown - 12" barrel.
