I am looking for an old article that I once heard of, maybe in an NRA gunsmithing book, that detailed how to make a standard model 94 lever action into a takedown model. Various searchs have not been sucessful. If anyone on here has this information I would like to get a copy of it, even better would be if anyone has ever actually done this so I could hear first hand of any problems encountered. Thanks in advance.

I've got the article scanned into the computer already. I can send it as an attached file to an e-mail.
Send a PM with your e-mail addy if you want it.

Contender,
I'd be interesting in having a look at that article if you'd be willing to send it to me.
Thanks.

They open OK for you "Clyde"?

Has Alyeska338 been spreading this around? I didn't even know it was Clyde until he pointed it out to me, it's the only picture of him that I've ever seen where he even resembles this photo. I was just perusing the net for an avatar and found this, the guy DOES look like my user name.
Yes, I got them to open up. It's an interesting article. I don't have a lot of machining ability yet, but I'm working towards it.

Very good. Was wondering if you would be able to open them in the .xif format that's used in the Pagis Pro Image program I'm using now.
Yes, I recognized that pic right away. I believe it's part of bigger picture where Bonnie is leveling a shotgun at his gut in jest for the camera in front of a Model A Ford with 2 revolvers stuck in the grillework.
I remember too many things!:D

Don't you fella's go dragging me into this, I just thought Bonnie should have pulled the trigger when she had the chance. If I remember correctly, Clyde was actually on Bonnie's left, so the pic has been transposed.
No more Clyde, I don't like to associate with criminal types.

How about "Jethro"?!?!?!?
Jethro!
That's me in my youth. What the small picture doesn't show is the near empty quart of JD on the table next to me. :) It annoys me that I lost that hat!
