    "New" 464, first range report

    Huh, interesting. Someday I'll probably get a Henry, if only a 22. But its not in the cards real soon, unless I come up with a side hustle and can convince the wife to let me spend the money how I want. She always seems to think paying unimportant things like Water and Electricity and buying...

    "New" 464, first range report

    Welp, been close to a year, thought I ought to update. This is how the rifle looks now. I got an XS scout mount for it, and it works great! The action has smoothed out a lot. It usually feeds without a fuss, but I still get occasional hangs trying to feed in the next round. I've never really...

    What's "wrong" with the 464

    I'm still new to reloading, but from the get go, I found that my 464 liked to feed polymer-coated cast bullets better than commercial stuff. I'm still messing around with load development. My kids love my 'cat sneeze' loads though. :)

    What's "wrong" with the 464

    I saved for a year and a half to buy a $350 Mossberg at a gun show. Henrys are lovely, but I don't know that I'd call them affordable. On the other hand, they work. Hard to put a price on that. Lousy triggers on the current crop of 336W's scared me away from buying a Marlin. After a lot of...

    I was wondering if anyone had slugged their barrel on a 464 and what they got?

    Mossberg 464 Lever Action Troubleshooting

    Definitely going to take a look at this! I also rounded the edge of the ejector hook, as that seemed to be a hangup place. WOndering if I combine the two if I might be able to get this thing close to 100%!

    Mossberg 464 Lever Action Troubleshooting

    Ancient history message, but someone else new here (like me) might be reading through them all. I was on a gunsmith's website. His specialty is slicking up lever actions for Cowboy Action Shooting. Unfortunately I didn't save a link. Anyways, something that leapt out at me after seeing his site...

    Mossberg Serial Number Data Base

    FWIW, my 464 is a straight-stock, Serial starts with LA009xxx. Mossberg customer service said it was made in 2009.

    Water

    I've got a couple of Sawyer water filters, the larger one rated to a million gallons and the small portable model. They will handle pretty much anything except viruses. Nasty little buggers. I have some strong powdered bleach with which I could make up normal-strength bleach to kill anything...

    How is this even physically possible?

    I wonder if it kicks more than a 'normal' 00 buck shell?

    Found a old box of ammo I lost back in 2000

    DIY peep sight 464 30-30

    Okay, so I'm a broke guy whose pretty good with tools. I'd really like to try a peep sight, but cost is a definite factor. I'd bought a scope, but have figured out that for that scope on my 464, I really need a scout mount rail to move it forward (long story). Anyways, I got to looking at the...
