Cypress Sam, SASS #10915 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 A drop-in carrier and lever for short-stroking Marlin Mod 94’s would be nice. Milling the groove and drilling the hole for the ejector would still be necessary. But it would make the job within reach of a lot more people.

Deacon Henry, SASS #53503L Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 +1 on this One thing you could do for parts is modify the Marlin carrier for the Marlin jamb, or better yet make some after market carriers ready to go Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brimstone Bill Willson Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 For a pie-in-the-sky suggestion, how about an 'Gamer' Spencer? Rework the mechanics to allow cocking with the lever and add an ejector. Also chambered for short autoloading rounds(like 45acp) so it will hold 10 in the magazine? Or, how about a Lamson & Ball Carbine: https://www.forgottenweapons.com/lamson-ball-carbine-henry-meets-spencer-sort-of/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCandless Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 On 8/18/2018 at 2:02 AM, Smokestack SASS#87384 said: An American made SXS of good quality at about a $1200 price point would be a smart direction to go. Yep. You know what we need in a competition shotgun. Making one lightweight, like an SKB, that opens wide and easy right out of the box, would end up in every gun cart. Plus, would be a lot easier to design and manufacture than an MH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil dogooder Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 Well we are for sure going to make something. Starting to put paperwork together for a manufactures license. Anyone with expertise in that area please pm with any help you have to offer. Sorry to those who want a shotgun. That's not going to happen. We are starting with making lightened carriers until the paperwork clears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Reb, SASS #54804 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 As you asked- I don't care about either one. Would rather see an american made Winchester 92 or 87.

Oddnews SASS# 24779 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Extra cylinders for genuine Colt's would be on my list. I'd love to have 45 ACP cylinders for my 3rd gens, but the only way I've seen to get them is to buy cylinders in (for example) .357 and have them rechambered, and the prices quoted are rather high.

Have a replaceable 'pad', to correct/fix the Marlin-Jam on the carrier. The replaceable pad can have different thicknesses, to aid in timing issues.

Possum Stu Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Merwin Hulbert for sure, especially with the skull crusher pommel! While I’m already fantasizing, I’d like someone to make the following as well: A .44 or .45 caliber Webley RIC or Bulldog A hammered 10 or 8 gauge with modern steel barrels A SxS derringer, something along the lines of the old Rossis.

Ol Number4 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Evil, Speaking of Marlins, it is the edge of the lever cam area that precipitates the "Marlin Jam" damage to the carrier. How about a replacement finger lever with a roller bearing at the cams point? Or a mod "Kit" for easy installation. Ol' #4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fast Enuff Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 A fully American Made CNC machined 97 in stainless steel.

You have to order them the 1860 army conversions. their website says it's the same cylinder for both. Conversions for the Pietta can use 45 colt but the uberti models are limited to the schofield or cowboy special cartridges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkey Flats Jack Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 i'd like to see some performance parts for the Henry Big Boy. NO ONE is making anything for them. The initial price point on them would help a lot of new shooters to get started and if their were some decent race parts made for them you could end up with a good CAS lever gun for less than what you'd pay for a stock 73 or 66.

I’ve considered converting the Pietta 51 I already have, but if I did, I’d want to fully convert it and cut the recoil shield for the kind with the loading gate. I’ve yet to talk myself into the project. Maybe someday. But seriously, how much fun would those shotguns and derringers be?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirst is temporarily out of the gated cylinders in .45 colt. if yours is a 36 cal you're in business though (https://shop.kirstkonverter.com/?product=000-001-colt-1851-1861-konverter-assembly-uberti-38-lc). If you didnt already have the 51 cap gun you're better off just getting the cimarron 51 conversion (https://www.cimarron-firearms.com/1851-richards-mason-38-spl-4-3-4-in-barrel.html) and save $50 plus the headache of fitting the conversion cylinder to the capgun. Or if you prefer the longer barrel you can get the man with no name 51 (https://www.cimarron-firearms.com/man-with-no-name-conversion-38-colt-s-w-special-7-1-2-no-inlay.html). It doesnt have the ejector. still has the rammer. the end of it pulls apart to use to push the spent cartridges out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he can make wifeys 22GB even better, I don't think it needs it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
