Thought someone might like to see my 25-35 is just finished. It was a basket case with chopped half octagon barrel and butt stock and no rifling left. I took a bit more off the barrel to make it 20", restocked with Treebone standard wood and buttplate, and relined the barrel. Rust blued the whole rig. Anxious to give it a go at the range. Got a bunch of 257325 ready to go.

That's super cool!

Really nice little rifle there!
In all, the .41 Magnum would be one of my top choices for an all-around handgun if I were allowed to have only one. - Bart Skelton
Good job!
Nice work! I've always wanted a 25-35.
Nicely done! Lots of history in that old rifle, hope it's around for several more generations to enjoy. Thanks for sharing!

Looks good! Let us know how it shoots.
Have made a couple of trips to the range with the 25-35. Only been shot at 50 yards. 22g. of 3031 and Rem. 117g jacketed gave me a 5 shot group just under an inch at that range. I thought that was pretty good with iron sights. I also shot some Lyman 112g. 257325 sized .2575 (WW sweetened with 50/50 solder) over 14g. 4198 and they grouped about 1 1/4". Old gun shows some promise I think. Pleasant little thing to shoot.Originally Posted by jcrntx
