finally! my kind of thread
My first is an 1895LTD III. 18in Octagon Barrel, straight stock, 5 round full length mag tube, #86 of 1000.
The second was an 1895gs. Carried it a few years then sold it for the "Jeep" fund.
If you haven't heard of Wild West Guns in Anchorage take a look at their site. I can't recommend strongly enough their Happy Trigger/Sear kit. A one piece unit, I was able to install it my self. No slack, creep, a clean break at about 2&1/2-3lbs.
When I sold the gs I kept all the custom parts and put them into the LTD; the WWG trigger kit, one piece Bear Proof Ejector, anodized aluminum mag follower and a Wolfe heavy duty mag spring. I let the ghost ring sight go with the gs but I liked it a lot. I also had a Pachmyer Redline recoil pad put on. Most of my shooting has been with Buffalo Bores 430gr +P loads since I bought these for my solo trips in the Brooks Range.
Since I became a vehicle owner again after a long time on foot and have started hunting (again?) (the tag along deer trips in the 80's I don't count) I've been using Hornadys 325gr.
