(NGC) - How do you measure the barrel length of a Winchester 94 Carbine?

now that the new year is upon us; what is the availability of powder and primers in your area?  I'm still having problems buying 8 pounds of powder. shot is $40+ for 25 lbs but at least 209 primers are abundant at $30 per 1000
my local shop figured things would lossen up by now
and 22s are impossible to find!

In my area of central Kansas .22s are not impossible to find but difficult. No problem with almost any center fire stuff now. I load rifle and pistol calibers. Primers are available but usually not a full selection of powders but if patient you can find what you need or a adequate substitute. For my needs I use Unique for my handguns which are .38SP, .357, and .45 Colt and H-4895 for .219DW, and .243. Generally it is easier to find the 4895 than the Unique.

the length of the barrel depends on which end you are staring down ;-)

I like leverguns. One of my current projects is updating the sights and the trigger of a very lightly used 1978 Marlin 336. Its a great piece out to 200 yards...

Also, after spending a great deal of time with shotguns when I worked for the government and as a duck hunter, I agree that the Remington 870 is just about the best scattergun platform a person can own. Its tough, reliable in all weather (newish models will even function through a double-feed), enjoys an immense aftermarket, is affordable, is easy to work on, and it can be used interchangably as either a sporting or a defensive piece. Highly recommended...I have two.
