My 99 Savages have safeties, but no visible hammer.   The half cock position on the hammer hsda been safety enough for over 100 years on a Winchester or Marlin lever rifle.   The fellow told you correctly on how to cock the hammer without making noise.   The best safety for a gun is the one between your ears.

I bought a gun case on ebay last week. I see it left Memphis today headed for the black hole known as South Haven, Mississippi. :ugh: I've found that this isn't reassuring news. I'm glad it's a gun case and not a life saving device. :D   I never order anything I consider critical via mail, so I just sit back and enjoy the show.   LINKS2K, That's quite an impressive itinerary you have going on there. :dropjaw:

Won't be a problem. I'd like to see 100 lever rifles in the classified; even if I was selling one as well.

Do it yourself and you'll know it was done correctly.

Yeah. The price went up when Remington bought Marlin and dropped Marlin quality. Putting a safety on a lever rifle didn't help either.   If you think a 357 is high, price one in 41 magnum!!! :shake:

Well, Mariota certainly ain't no Jake Locker. :rofl:   I thought they looked good yesterday.

No, that would be the Second Amendment.   There is a lot of stuff going on in government that isn't legal or constitutional. It will get worse until someone does something about it.

This guy knows a LOT of stuff!^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ :up:   I'm guessing Mac is correct.

7.62X42 perhaps?       https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7.62x42mm#Cartridge   There's a 7.92x57 (8mm Mauser), and a 7.92x33 which was designed for submachine guns.   I'm not aware of, nor can I find any information on a 7.92x42.   Can you get a pic of the headstamp?

Cleveland's stadium is right on the lake. It's a neat place to see. Take plenty of warm clothes!!!

I didn't mean to disparage your rifle. I have both an1894 Marlin and a 92 Rossi. I wouldn't part with either. They are both fun, accurate guns. There is no doubt, however, that the quality and workmanship in the Marlin is superior to the Rossi.

The difference is we didn't fly a crane into their mosque. These morons did it to themselves.

You correctly predicted a close game. :up: Probably the best one to watch yesterday.

Marlin trumps Puma. I don't have any experience with the Henry rifle.   I'd have some patience and hold out for an older Marlin. Mine was cheap. I saw a guy walking around a gun show with it and asked if it was for sale. I couldn't get my wallet out fast enough when he priced it.

I'll bet you dress in orange too!   We "good Christians" put a crane boom on the ground when not in use. :up:

Any Chevrolet I ever had, including the one I have now, shows low oil pressure at idle. The one I have now is an 01 Silverado with the same engine as yours. The oil pressure needle wiggles at idle, and jumps up and stays there when the throttle is pressed. It doesn't cause the check engine light to come one, however.

Seeing a good chance of death or worse if I'm wrong, I guess I've taken the angle of assuming the worst in people.   I wish I could get back to where you are, and someday I might. It isn't likely to happen today.

How do you tell who's who? If not an extremist, then perhaps a sympathizer, or monetary contributor?

Call me a bigot, xenophobe, or what ever you will. This act was committed by Muslims. Until I can personally get a handle on exactly who is a good Muslim, and who is a bad Muslim, I'll not be real keen on any of them. Furthermore, I'm against importing them into our country. The people fleeing Syria you see on the news look to be mostly able bodied men of fighting age. They should be in Syria helping to sort things out. I don't see any good coming from bringing them here.

Nothing can go wrong here, huh? :cool:   I hope all goes well for the o.p..

We were at the beach that morning. We came back in for my then toddler son to take a nap. We knew something bad happened when there was a news anchor on the cartoon network.   I remember going to dinner that night, and everyone in the restaurant crying, hugging, and cheering as the president spoke on tv.   I've never seen strangers so united. It really impressed me. It's a real shame it didn't last.   The Blue Angels flew up the beach the next morning. That gave me cold chills.   A lot has changed in 14 years. I fear we haven't seen the last of this type act.

Get one waaaaaaaaaaaay bigger than you think you'll ever need.   That's my advice.   Liberty makes a fine safe.

Water in the gas? I've had this happen before.....more than once.

What are largemouth bass hitting this time of year? I've been able to find some catfish, but I can't have any luck at all with the bass.
