35 REMINGTON

IS A 35 REMINGTON CLASSIFIED AS A PRIMITIVE WEAPON I KNOW THE 35 WHEELING IS BUT NOT SURE ABOUT THE 35 REMINGTON?

If the rifle is a single shot and breech loading. The regulation says 35 and larger.

THANK YOU I WASNT FOR SURE

On the right platform yes.

its a marlin 336 chambered in the 35 remington i dont think it counts tho

Nope not primative, has to be single shot

Also has to be extractor-only, not auto ejector, and have an exposed hammer.

thanks guys

Thompson Center is not going to have any since the Fox Ridge Custom shop burned. You wouldn't want it from Thompson Center anyway. PM me for details. This dog won't hunt from TC.

Ended up getting mine through MGM (match grade machine).

I just wish we could ENCOURAGE Remington to make the 150 grain PSP available again as a component. Currently it is only available in factory ammo. This would be a great bullet for 35 Whelen as well.

My handi rifle is a 35remington and i bought it for that. Works good.

Didnt know about ejector tho. Some of the 45/70 handi rifles were ejector barrels

where do u find a 35 rem. like this i looked on h&r s web site and did not see one. i have a cva 35 wheelen and its like the 444 or 45 70 it kicks to much to shoot for fun and bullets are high

Got it from the outfitter. Came with a 444 barrel. Not easy to find but you can find em...

love it that looks real good . i had the 444 sold it and got the 35 wheelen and still not happy maybe i can find a 35 rem one day

the main reason i was asking bc i have a chance to buy this marlin the guy wants 225 for it it comes with a scope and two boxes of ammo is that a good price

dont know what shap that gun is in but sounds like a good deal. but u can only hunt in gun season not primative

If you buy it and dont like it i'll give you 250 sight unseen as long as it functions

I've got 2 handis. 1 in .444 and 1 in 45-70. The 45-70 EJECTS the shell. No modification, came that way from the factory. You saying its not legal for primitave season?

Technically, yes.

I don't know how diligent the MDWF&P officers are about checking them, but once they see you've got a Handi-Rifle they probably won't even bother to check.

I'm guessing your .45-70 is relatively older? I think when the Handis first started getting popular (when MS first started allowing them for primitive season) they were still making the .45-70 w/ auto ejectors, but later on they went to extractor only. One of my hunting buddies has one that he didn't buy until about the second or third year they were legal and his is extractor only.



Edit to add:

Here's the relevant part of the MS hunting regs from MDWF&P's website

Primitive Weapons

"Primitive firearms" for the purpose of hunting deer, are defined as single or double barreled muzzle-loading rifles of at least .38 caliber; single shot, breech loading, cartridge rifles (.35 caliber or larger) and replicas, reproductions or reintroductions of those type rifles; and single or double-barreled muzzle-loading, shotguns with single ball or slug. All muzzle-loading Primitive Firearms must use black powder or a black powder substitute with either percussion caps or #209 shotgun primers or flintlock ignition. Breech loading single shot rifles must have exposed hammers and use metallic cartridges. Cartridges may be loaded either with black powder or modern smokeless powder. Scopes of any magnification are allowed on primitive weapons.

They don't explicitly spell it out, but I think the relevant consideration is the part I put in bold and italics. I think when H&R originally came out with their single shot rifles in the 1800's they were extractor only and only in the modern guns before MS okayed them for primitive season were they auto-ejector, so they changed them back to get in line with the regulations. The MS regulation as originally written said that the single shot designs had to be from prior to 1900 or 1899 if I recall correctly, so the rifles had to be of the same design as the originals from "back in the day".

use it its a hammered single shot thats what matters wish i didn't need a hammer would love to have a ruger no.1
