Rebounding Hammer on Lever Guns
I'm not sure if that is the correct term or what, but that's what I've heard them called - after striking the firing pin the hammer bounces back to about what would be half-kock position. Yeah, I've also heard it called the solution to a problem that didn't exist.- TradeGun.62

OH, sounds like we are all saying a similar thing. If you have the desire and the tools go for it. If you want to let the guy who is installing the barrel give the rest his expert attention go for it too! While, at 61 yo I do question the younger generation :), but it's not over this issue.- TradeGun.62

Rebounding Hammer on Lever Guns
So I've read and seen where folks are dead set on removing a rebounding hammer from their lever action rifles. What do you gain by removing it if it's already there? Just wondering if the expense of removing it is worth it.- TradeGun.62

2024 Idaho Moose Thread
I did a little looking around, and if I read correctly, the world record B&C Shiras moose had a 53" spread and was shot in the early 1950s. 50" these days is ambitious.- TradeGun.62

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the current production wood and blued model 70s? Specifically the Safari Express model. How is their off the shelf quality, dependability, accuracy, fit/finish, etc? Thanks.- TradeGun.62
