That sure is nice KW! That'll be a good shooter with that Lyman. Hope you get to perforate some critters with it.

Well, I could scratch in some critters with my pocket knife but you'd probably fill my hide with .35 holes! crazy

Removed the rear sight yesterday. It's aWinchester sight but not original for this old a rifle. Newer 94 eastern carbine rear sight. Can't remember the #. Front sight been replaced too. A nice Lyman. But I like it and can live with it. Stuck an old Marbles dovetail slot filler in I had. All I can say is that#21 Lyman is a real Daisy of a sight!! I can see the sights again!!!!!

This rifle fits!!! Can't wait for next October!!!

Yup a baby .405! Just a .405 dressed down to .35. To me just a deadly for my needs and easier on the old arthritic bones.

Well, I'd have been tempted at $900. A half way decent .405 will command at least double, and closer to triple, that.

My old .35 shoots. But I just didn't know for how long, it's a bit rough. Since I had a lot invested in reloading components, I figgerd I needed a really nice one. I'll post some kinda report after it gets shot!

Oh. I'll keep the other.35 too! Thought about having it rebored to .405. But maybe I'll just keep it then way it is.

Nice, I had a chance at one a couple of years backk but turned it down because finding good brass was a bit of a chore.
Nice thing is now that problem is over.http://www.captechintl.com/proddetail.php?prod=35WIN100pcs


the most expensive bullet there is isn't worth a plug nickel if it don't go where its supposed to.

Nice, I love the .35 WCF too. Here's a comparison of the .35 WCF and .405:
[Linked Image]
And a shot of my Winchester high grade (repro) .405 (bottom) and 1905 vintage .35 WCF with zero bluing remaining above it. And, for those interested, top is a model 53 take down .25-20 from 1927; a Browning 92 Centennial .44; and a 94 Legendary Frontiersman .38-55.
