Ahh the slab side mkii. My unicorn. I have the stainless gov target model, but those slab sides are just so sexy. But honestly, the mkiii is where the value is at because everybody hates the lawyer crap. The mk4 is stupidly overpriced. I've had most all the versions by now, and Ruger has...

love the figure on the rear stock. I cannot say like the potbelly look of the forend as much.

I just do t understand the big loop levers phenomenon. Makes me bang my knuckles when I run the gun. Now, I'm in Texas and wear gloves about once a decade, so maybe that's part of it...... That aside, the 357 one is tempting. A stainless and laminate threaded 1894 in 357 was always my unicorn...

I don't think I've ever cleaned a die.

I have that same rifle in 308 as well. it's nice. especially after I had it threaded and replaced the trigger spring to improve the pull weight.

I have considered that. but even then, not a lot of right handed 223 bolt guns that are not a traditional hunting style stock. I'm seeing the american gen 2, or the winchester xpr, and there aren't a lot of aftermarket stock options for that. maybe the cz 600 alpha?

I'm looking for something like a left handed bergara hmr in 223. does such an animal exist? or am I going to be looking at building something? And if I build, is there a way to do it that doesn't cost $2000+? I'd thought I might find a used Remington 700 and put in a barrel nut prefit (remage)...

So, I got an early one, and it killed the ejector spring pretty early on. Cmmg sent me a shorter stiffer spring that seems to be doing the trick. The original died at maybe 300 rounds. The 2nd is going strong at about 800 or so so far. I'll be honest though, I shoot the suppressed 38 lever gun...

i did the 9mm ar15 2 ways: 1) 9mm glock lower, heavy buffer blowback upper. it worked fine. recoil was greater than a 223. 2) regular AR lower, mean arms endomag, and a cmmg radial delayed upper. uses a standard buffer, so converting from 223 to 9mm is and upper and mag sway only. The ejector...

The 1894c is wearing a Leupold vxii 2.5x in a scout mount. Eye relief is long enough that you clear the hammer, but it does make mounting a problem. It's too long for a conventional mount and really too short for a scout mount. The 336 on top wears a Burris timberline 2-7x26 compact scope. But...

I like the straight grips.

I threaded all of mine for suppressors. They make wonderful hosts and don't toss brass into the next county. And the older I get the more I wish I had more forgiving materials than blueing and walnut. And my eyes can't see irons very well any more. So yes, I can see the appeal of the "tactical"...

this is by no means a review. But a local shop had one of the new hamerli force b1 straight pull guns in stock today. I was very much looking forward to the gun. When I got it in my hands, the initial impression is "cheap" like, keltec cheap. stock was cheap feeling, the trigger was small with a...

The other presses are in the cubbards on qd plates. There are more things in the closet. And under the bed. And in the cabinets. And in the garage........ It's bad guys. I do need a better stool though. That northern tool cheapo is not comfortable.

I cannot imagine a rifle I need less or want more. what a great piece. I cannot help you with loads. all mine are geared for subsonic suppressed shooting. however, most anything should shoot all right. much like 308, 9mm, 45acp, or any old caliber, loads data is.....extensive.
