    Could be interesting. I have a boxed in trailer, its only 4 ft off the deck, moderate load. Ill be on 25 wed.

    As for the slicked up or modified gun, like most things, id just say shoot it a while until you get to know it enough to understand if they will really make a useful difference for you. You can spend...

    Cartridge length can matter, apparently even between individual guns, I think the 92s can be adjusted or tuned a but to allow more length variation. The 73s will tolerate a little length difference,...

    Im not sure what the PC lever quirks mentioned are, if you could give more specifics it would help. What I am aware of is winchester 94s in 357 can be temperamental in some regards, but thats not a...

    I like those quite a lot, my preference would be 44 also, and that length. Im fairly sure most of the Richards type II conversion guns , even those marked 44 Colt, were chambered for 44 spl/russian.

    An edge in what sense? I have no personal experience with the BLR guns, though I bought one to trade to a guy that built a chevy motor for me ages ago. He hunted with it and also bought cheap USA...

    Reliability and strength arent necessarily interchangeable. Individual examples of any type can also have more or less machine marks left inside. Marlins have generally felt pretty gritty and sludgey...

    I think this is certainly the case. I knew a theater group that had a rossi/puma 357 92 as a prop gun for their show. The guy in charge asked me to look at it once, as something fell out of it. The...

    I believe Outpost75 mentioned whacking the cylinder lock lug on the bottom of the barrel with the babbit bar to rotate it to bring POA and POI into convergence.

    I dont think Ive ever seen a Miroku 94. The 94s ive had have been a mix of pre-64, pre-war, and a dozen or more post 64 top ejects. The early post-64 guns had stamped carriers (lifters), I replaced...

    I have a recent Winchester/Miroku 73 carbine in 357, it seems to feed 38 spl loads other than wadcutters just fine. The Marlin 94 in 357 I had in the early 80s worked fine with 38 spl also. Theres...

    My current feeling is mostly not that interested in AR stuff, a mini 14 and small handful (2 or 3 each) of factory 5, 10, and 20 rd mags would probably realistically do anything id every want to with...
