On a take down 1892 can you have the tube loaded when it is apart?
-
Haz, No, the cartridge stop is in the receiver so all the cartridges would be pushed out by the spring

That's what I thought. Sorta defeats the purpose I think.

Defeats one purpose, but: http://www.alpharubicon.com/leo/rubiconspeedloader.htm

That's pretty cool, RW!

That's a pretty cool speedloader set-up! My main reasons for wanting a take-down is size. I handled one of the Chiappas a while back...quick to break down, quick to put back together and an impressively small package. Also an impressively expensive package...I know I'm not supposed to notice such things, but darn!

BTW, MB, this was a good podcast. I found it very interesting. Did ya get a new sound set up? This sounded good.
-
Not a good one for me. I couldn't get it to play past 13 min and 49 sec into the podcast tonight :'(.
I reloaded it several times, signed out, then back on, tried it again, still wouldn't play beyond 13 min 49 sec. i tried relistening to last weeks and it was fine to the end.
I must have been a bad boy this week. :(

No problems for me, Dave. I just downloaded it and it played fine.

How about a rifle caliber takedown like a savage 99 in 250-3000 ,or a winchester in 25-35 .

I was back in my home recording studio, and I did some changes to the presets. It's amazing how tricky audio can be...and frustrating at times. I have a lot more respect for the strange hippie guys who set up sound for rock concerts!
I looked at the 92 as a takedown because I would like interchangeability of ammo with the 329. A long gun gives heavy bullet .44s a big UMMMMPH while keeping the recoil light. If I was going to go to a rifle caliber, I might look seriously at a 30-30, a great cartridge on "deer-sized game." That would be us.
I'm keeping away from semis because of various state laws in places like CA, NJ, CT and the like. It would be easy to say don't go to places like that, but not a realistic solution for most of us who travel.

Is the Trapper version available in the take down model ? You could put pistol, rifle, and ammo in a large brief case.
-
The suggested retail on a new 92 takedown is over 1k $ then a good action job is another125 $ .Which leaves very little price difference between new 92 & older rifle caliber guns .
-
The suggested retail on a new 92 takedown is over 1k $ so price is about the same .
True, but with the rotary, instead of tube magazine you can use calibers like .308 with out being limited to "special" bullets.
-
A 94 Winchester in 30-30 is a fine rifle but I prefer the 38-55 with 245 grain bullets in 94 or Savage 99 . Old fashioned but what do you expect from a cowboy shooter .

Speaking of rotary mags, I wonder if you could convert a Ruger 96 lever-action into a takedown rifle?....that way, you'd have .44Mag capability as well as detachable mag reloading capability.... ???
Another long-gun solution to consider is a double-barrel coach gun setup. Easy to disassemble into a small package, easy to find ammo (esp. in 12ga.), and stands out less to the general public....while looking pretty intimidating to the miscreant at whom it is aimed...
Stoeger has a few good setups for this need....

What fun ! After all the talk a totaly different rifle jumps up to fill the bill . The local Cabela's has several TDBLR's , but in calibers that scare me . One in 300WSSN , 1 in 325 , 1 in 300win . In a 6 1/2 # gun none of these look like fun . Will keep my eyes open for a 308 .
