I have a Marlin 1895 in .45-70. Looks like this:
Now hear me out. Obviously isn't not a historically accurate "cowboy gun" - but it is a light, handy carbine in a powerful mainstream caliber. The stainless doesn't require much in the way of maintenance and the laminate stock is far more durable than wood. |

Having a gun restored and sending it to Doug Turnbull are two entirely different things. Doug does incredible, unbelievable work, rivaling the finest presentation guns done in the original Colt and Winchester factories. If you can afford his work and the rifle is non-original, I would go for it. As far as I've seen, Turnbull restored guns are worth about what the restoration costs. You're not going to make money, but you should be able to hold your investment together. I visited with him a few years ago at NRA convention about doing a Colt Lightning Rifle that I owned at that time. He was very gracious and informative to speak to. I decided not to do the work and sold the rifle. It was a medium frame, 38-40, 20" octagon rifle and I just didn't think it was worth the cost. Lately, I've been on a SAA kick and I've actually thought about finding a 1st gen project gun and sending it to him. Last week, I looked at an 1890 SAA with a Colt Letter that shows 45, 4-3/4" non-specified grip, but the gun has been converted to 22lr. It would be a great gun to send to Turnbull and have redone. 1st gen barrels and cylinders aren't impossible to find, add some pre-ban ivory and it would be an incredible gun. |

I'd keep my 1894 in thutty-thutty on the grounds that it's light, compact, and holds five rounds.Otherwise, I'd love to have a Sharps, but if I can only have one, practicality wins.

Hopefully here we go.
She's well used and put food on the table, the majority of meat for 50 years, through grandpa and great grandpa. Still shots straight and I've shoot a couple deer myself with it. Sadly, around 1936, grandpa decided to change the barrel to a model 64. So monetarily it's worth nothing. But as the song says it's worth everything to me.
Hmm imugr not working?. Here's the link. 1894 |

Yeah, me too.....As I recall, Ruger made a run of about 500 stainless Vaqueros in .44 special in the 3-3/4" barrel length (Sheriff's Model) and another batch of about 500 in 4-5/8" barrel length for Lipsey's. They also did the same pair of Vaquero models in blue steel as well....... |

This thread inspired me to go ahead and buy some of the addons I've been meaning to get for my Rossi's.
 Added a Marble's tang sight to the 24"  Also plugged the safety and swapped the rear sight for a fold down semi buckhorn. I'm going to need to go back and order a taller front sight. Even folded down the buckhorn sight completely obscures the front sight when looking through the peep.  16" got a bolt mounted peep...thinking it might need a taller front sight too  They both got stainless followers to replace those ugly yellow plastic ones.  |
