The Russian Winchesters were model 1895's. That is the version that I've been look for for a long long time. Bid on a few online and always come up short. 7.62 x 54R cartridge is very close to a 30-30. The puzzle is coming together.

From the description and if it was a lever gun, your description of the rear sight and a short magazine, it sounds like a Saddle Ring Carbine (SRC). Probably a very early 92 or 94 with a shot out/worn bore from putting meat on the table year round. If it was a Winchester, I highly doubt it...

Weak hand firing and failure to eject go hand in hand with a standard velocity ammo. Pistol is moving in your hand or your breaking your wrist and that is absorbing the energy required for the slide to function. High Velocity thunderbolts work due to it having an abundance of energy to cycle...

That's the what I've been reading online and looking to go. I bought a used 8x6 walk-in ice house the Amish built with 10" of cork in the walls and roof years ago for $45 at an auction. Then I took apart an old pop machine and had that compressor in there for a while but it died on me. Then I...

The pawn shop probably would of only gave him $100 for it.The rifle is worth it as a hunting rifle and you could probably could make a $25-$150 profit off of it, if you can find someone looking for a good hunting rifle. JC Higgins aren't really collectors items and the synthetic stock would take...

You have the common Pieper or Flobert parlor rifle. Old/cheap parlor rifles from Belgium, generally no makers name or proof marks. Designed for blackpowder rounds. Your rifle is probably a .22 caliber rimfire but the chamber is probably a CB/short and will not accept a 22 long. Originally...

I don't know about new production but I own a couple O/U doubles. One being a Browning Citori Lightning Model in 16 ga, one being a Savage O/U 16ga and the other being a old H&R O/U 16ga. A 16ga side by side is a lot more common than any over/under. Good luck if your looking for an over/under in...

The Sweet Sixteen is one that I haven't got in my collection and have always wanted. I've always been a fan of hunting with the 16ga and double barrels so when I had the money I always bought the double over the semi auto. One of my first guns I ever bought was an old SXS Ithaca 16ga. Killed a...

F1tiger, enlighten me on sawmill gravy and tomato gravy. They sound interesting-the gravy, not so much for the fried squirrel heads tho.

32-40, there's a forgotten about cartridge. I have an old Winchester in 32-40.

You have to look at the noise decibel rating. Most of the noise cancelling electronic earmuffs have very little protection and will be in the very low 20's. The higher the number the more noise they will protect. If you shoot a lot you want something in the 30-35 range. I run pistol and rifle...

Excellent little gun and caliber to hunt or plink with. Plinking you can shoot 38 specials through it. It also makes a good little deer gun especially if your starting out a kid. If you reload you can really cook up some rounds for the 357 mag better than what you can buy off the shelf. You...

Take Brute 23's advice, you'll like the R 25 over the Blackout. The .243 is a good all around caliber on taking multiple species of game and should even be adequate on zombies. The blackout may be better at close range on zombies though! I cant see how the "guy at work" says the AR 10 is...

The list is someone dated now. Ammo isn't available as it once was and the rifle are a little more money. Love my Mosin Nagants. I have a pair of Remington made Nagants that shoot on par with any other military rifle and a Polish Nagant in .22 lr.

I've got quite a few but, the most precious hand me down gun is an old High Standard Model B pistol that my grandmother carried. As a youngin, I remember her carrying it in her purse and supposedly she used it when my dad was young to shoot a guy that was stealing her chickens. I've got my dads...

You all got a good subject going on with the talk of hand me down rifles and the memories they bring back for me. They were nothing fancy and a lot were converted bolt action military rifles you could buy out of catalog for a couple dollars, but they were meant for one thing and that was to put...

For years in Ohio and West Virginia I used a 10" Contender in 357 Maximum. The 357 Max got too easy so I started taking out my old/original blackpowder cartridge rifles. So far I've been successful with the Remington Rolling Block in 50-70, 11mm Beaumont and my favorite the Burnside Carbine...

That's not a bad deal on that Model 17 Remington either. If the actions not worn out and it wasn't buffed to death on the reblue job. Even though it's a reblued shotgun them model 17's are a handy little 20 gauge shotgun built as a 20 gauge. Not a 12 gauge shotgun frame with a 20 ga barrel. On...

Martini's are almost a thing of the past, probably soon to be forgotten like the other single shot rifles of the past. I wonder if there will ever be a reproduction like they did with the Remington Rolling block or the Winchester High/Low Walls?

My favorite military (US and foreign) rifle are the old blackpowder cartridge rifles all of which I reload and shoot regularly. The Burnside Carbine, Dutch Beaumont, Austrian Werndl, and a couple Remington rolling blocks in 50-70 and 43 Spanish. A couple of these rifle mentioned, I've taken a...
