Re: [MBZ] OT - Old Rifles
There were 2 or three Brownings who designed firearms. In Nauvoo, IL is the original Browning cabin, as part of the LDS tour of Nauvoo. Yep, Browning was a member of what is now known as the LDS church. At 10:43 AM 10/26/2006, you wrote: AH.That clears it up. Brilliant man that Mr. Browning.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Old Rifles
Thats because the cartridge was centerfire and the rifle probably had tubular magazine. If you used pointed bullets in a tubular mag its quite possible one of the bullets would strike the primer of the cartridge in front of it hard enough to set it off. That'd be as they say "bad". So almost all lever guns used flat bullets. The exception I can think of offhand was the Savage model 99 which used a rotary magazine. I've got one I inherited from my Grandfather chambered in .300 Savage. IIRC it was reputed to be the smoothest levergun ever. -Curt Date: Thu, 26 Oct 2006 10:29:00 -0500 From: "Potter, Tom E" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT - Old Rifles To: "Mercedes Discussion List" Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I am not sure whether it was a 94 or not.

Witness the Savage 99 like I mentioned before. .300 Savage is alot more like 30.06 than 30-30. The bullet thing is alot more about the magazine than the action. I think what you mean is that a lever gun's action favors a rimmed cartridge like 30-30 vs a rimless like 30.06. Thats true but I think mostly because of the way the extractors worked on older lever guns which was partly because of metalurgy. Most old lever guns throw the case straight up. Easy to design, and reliable, bad if you want a scope and difficult to do with a rimless cartridge. Newer guns side eject, more difficult to design and implement, better for scopes and makes use of a rimless case much easier. -Curt Date: Thu, 26 Oct 2006 12:24:35 -0400 From: "Gary Hurst" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT - Old Rifles To: "Mercedes Discussion List" Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed lever actions can't feed spitzer type bullets. the paradigm for lever actions are flat and kinda stumpy up against flat and stumpy. that's why you see all the lever actions in 30-30 and not 30 '06. - All-new Yahoo!

Re: [MBZ] OT - Old Rifles
the 94 was a john browning design and would be the lever action we would generally have the greatest familiarity with. it's a sweet gun, but you find most of them in 30-30, which is just not that interesting a cartridge for me. I have one in .44 mag. I like .44 mag, don't ask me why. I prefer the medium loads, not the hot stuff. If I was after deer, the 30-30 would be a better choice (in 94's) I'm sure. I don't have one of those, but I do have a pot-gun in 45-70/.22 that's probably good for taking rabbit-chasing deer. Get the rabbit for lunch, and the deer for dinner! (I don't hunt, however. Only old Mercedes.) useful today as they day they were first produced. i mean, is there really a better pistol than the 1911? Sure. Depends on your purpose, of course. For swimming armed in salt water it's hard to beat a Glock, for example. For pure esthetics, though, the 1911 is pretty sweet. Your best bet is to own one of everything! -- Jim

Re: [MBZ] OT - Old Rifles
It was released in 1894 so the West was essentially won although by then although there continued to be minor skirmishes - Poncho Via (sp?) for one and I believe Teddy Roosevelt used some during the San Juan unpleasantness although the mod 1903 bolt action was the standard USA issue. Some powers that (used to) be believed soldiers would waste ammo if given the means to lay down a lot of lead! The opposite is preferable, of course. Anyway, - the Mod. 94 is the last iteration of the Winchester Level action - the same design continued to be produced until the early 90s although Win modified it somewhat to attract new customers. I have one called Ranger in 30-30 which is the same as the old Mod. 94 except for lacking the hooded front sight and having slightly shorter barrel.
