      .35 Remington Short (1.80")

      I gave $525 for mine off gun broker and am working on getting the Lyman peep sight to match. It was built in '52 with ballard rifling. I also purchased one for my son, same year, for $540. My buddy purchased one last weekend at the gun show for $420. All 3 were .35 Remington. I also bought...

      Marlin 336 Ballard Rifling and Leverevolution ammo

      Has anyone tried the Leverevolution ammo in a ballard rifled Marlin 336? I had a gun dealer tell me they dont work well together. Stated that the Leverevolution works great in Microgrooved barrel but not as well in the ballard?

      35 Remington, Deer, and 32 Special

      Thanks jmarriott, I took your advice and bought the gun. It should be here early next week. Its actually a 1936.

      35 Remington, Deer, and 32 Special

      Thanks for the reply. I did not realize it had to be 358 diameter. I only understood the 1.8 but greater than 30. Shame because I really liked the gun I was looking at if it would have worked...have to think of a different reason to purchase the gun....

      35 Remington, Deer, and 32 Special

      I have read several posts about converting a 35 Remington to a legal round for hunting deer in Indiana. I was reading another article online and stumbled onto a comparison of a 30-30 and a 32 special in a Marlin 336. It looks feasible to do a similar conversion of a 32 special to be legal in...

      Ballard Rifling vs. Microgroove in Marlin 336

      Is the peep sight a Marlin or aftermarket?

      Ballard Rifling vs. Microgroove in Marlin 336

      How hard do you think it would be to find the side peep and the round hood?

      Ballard Rifling vs. Microgroove in Marlin 336

      Very nice gun. I like the sight you have on it as well. I went back and reviewed the pictures of the gun I was considering and have decided to pass on it. It has the waffle but has two holes drilled and tapped. I will just be patient and find the right one....Thanks!

      Ballard Rifling vs. Microgroove in Marlin 336

      Thanks, I did notice the waffle top you are describing. I am not educated enough to recognize distinguishing features. Why is it wrong to tap the top for a scope? And are they then side mounts that should be used or not readily scopeable (Howard Cosell word).

      Ballard Rifling vs. Microgroove in Marlin 336

      Thanks JM. I am leaning toward purchasing the '52. It sounds like it will accomplish what I want plus let me stay with the older model. Appreciate all the input!

      Ballard Rifling vs. Microgroove in Marlin 336

      Thanks NKxxxx, I cant PM yet as I have not been on here long enough. I will do so after I reach the minimum. Will look you up as well when I am ready to reload.

      Ballard Rifling vs. Microgroove in Marlin 336

      Thanks Armorer. I am going to reload and so not too worried about ammunition. From your post, I would probably choose the Ballard because of flexibility rather than superiority....I am purchasing the gun to modify the cartridge to hunt deer. Want to be able to take one if opportunity allows...

      Ballard Rifling vs. Microgroove in Marlin 336

      Dan, I am drawn to older guns. The one I am looking at is a '52 model 336. The fellow is promoting the desirability and accuracy of the "Ballard" rifling...

      Ballard Rifling vs. Microgroove in Marlin 336

      I am trying to get the truth on the benefits of buying a Marlin 336 in 35 Remington and choosing between these two types of rifling. Thanks....

      Browning A5 Question

      Thanks IU, a friend wanted an A5 to hunt with but wanted to use 3" shells and was told he couldn't. Didn't seem right to me so I inquired. Appreciate the answer.

      35 remmy short reloading

      Djones. I have not tried to determine if the information is accurate. You are correct that it is taken from the 49th Edition Lyman Reloading Manual. I also do not know the degree of difference between "great accuracy" and "best accuracy". It does however create the desire to set up varying...

      Browning A5 Question

      Will a Browning A5, 1989 Light Twelve, accept a 3" shell or or only 2-3/4"?

      Winchester Model 1893 12 ga

      Thanks for the input 6mm. I completely understand your not shooting yours. I did antique tractors with my Dad and he is gone now also. Changes things. I have other guns to use. This one holds no sentimental value. I like the old guns much more than the new ones and like to occasionally...
