Greasy and won’t cycle my semi autos. I will not be purchasing more.
That thing is awesome. Never seen a Lyman like that.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions I’ll throw it back in the safe for now.
I have a true gem older pin barreled model 63 Smith & Wesson. Unfortunately it is hard to load the rounds as they have to be shoved into the cylinder and just as difficult to extract once fired. I...

I have one. It’s extremely accurate with 125 grain Lee Rn and the lee 356-120-TC. I did try using the heavier RCBS 9mm-147 and although accuracy was decent I believe I seated the OAL too long as I...

I’ve really considered picking one up as well but my old Lyman spartan just keeps chugging along

Thanks everyone for the responses I will most likely drop the rifle off at the gunsmiths it’s a nice old rifle in good shape and considering it more I feel like it deserves a proper fix.

Hey Mike thanks for the response. It is actually only drilled and tapped for a period correct Lyman tang sight
Forum: Leverguns
Thank you Arnie I will definitely look into that I’m hoping to use this rifle to take a buck sometime in the near future
Forum: Leverguns
Ill try and give it a shot hopefully I don’t ruin anything can’t get any worse I suppose
Forum: Leverguns
That sounds like a pretty neat fix. I’d imagine it’s like the barrel on an old pinned and recessed Smith and Wesson

Hello, I’m in need of some advice. I recently picked up another savage 99 takedown in 30-30. The barrel is pretty loose to the receiver and as expected no matter what load I try the accuracy...
