Gentlemen,  Anyone have a spare 336 stock looking for a home?  I'm in need of one.

      Greetings, SpeedBallAlice:

   My Navy Arms Schofield, when acquired new in the early '90s, had a noticeable amount of play at the pivot, but lock-up was satisfactory. I sold it when I bought my Old Model American 5" / .45C; the OM has no discernible play.

               M.T.M.

Hello:

There is helpful annealing info in a recent N-SSA Forum Post by "Carolina Reb" within a Thread: "New Replica Spencer owner has questions" by "Eterry, approx 15APR24.

I prefer not to post links to other Forums, and suggest the N-SSA Form's Small Arms section be reviewed for the Thread.

Carolina Reb shares that when annealing short, cut-down cases, to not anneal with flame because of heat migration into the base.  Instead, anneal with molten lead.  I use molten salts, water quench to stop heat migration, and have had no case life issues.

Thanks to Carolina Reb on N-SSA, Arizona Trooper, here.
Most respectfully.

Neat fact, kinda, Schofield is buried here in my town in the city cemetery after he, uh, died. Actually read that in Wild West Magazine many years ago.
