223 Single Shot - 1st Impressions

I have 2 saved in a watch list now. I can walk you thru it on the phone but its in the Single shot area of the forum. That spring will change the hammer pull by alot.

2 saved, huh? What caliber(s)? Could it be a "two-fer"?

Very nice, Congrats.

Yeah, when you keep stalking a particular gun whether it be Gunbroker or somewhere else there's but only one thing you can possibly do. LOL


I too have purchased from Northern on Gunbroker and have been extremely pleased with the whole process.

Really nice looking rifle you bagged, there. Henry sure has been putting quality Walnut on these rifles; I've seen semi fancy blanks for sale that aren't as nice. I haven't shot my 30-30 yet ( picked up in February), either, but I have sort of an excuse. Gettin' 'er done in a week is good .

Both 357 no 2 fers. Just choices to be made.

Good to hear much of the info about these single shots. I picked up a .243 over winter and plan on making a Caribou gun out of it. I put a leather cheek rest/ammo holder on it, have the scope base..just need to put glass on it and get to the range! The trigger is "rough" but doable and hopefully will break in a bit after a few boxes of ammo.

Evan, that looks great! It all just seems right. You'll enjoy that one too. On a bit of another note here, I've switched gears on a SS. I'm nosing around for another .357 lever rifle. Something lighter than my BB brass. Possibly a BB steel carbine.
I keep seeing flashes of pink in your pictures. What could that possibly be!?

Your note made me look it up.

If you have the BB Classic Brass, the BB Steel carbine weighs just over 2 lbs less.

Sounds like a a good path to me. What's the popular saying around here?

"You just can't have too many .357s..."

Very nice rifle, congrats! I have one SS now but it wont be long before I get another one. I want one in 30/30 to go with my 357 Max.

Thanks, appreciate it! The SS seems like it will be a lot of fun. Nothing rapid fire, to say the least, but an opportunity to try out a popular caliber and work on some scope skills. The brass has me intrigued, but am playing the wall-flower on that one for now...

I remember you posting about that 357 conversion. Assume it turned out okay for you?
