Hello again!
Well after a Looooong break, I am finally able to access this forum again! Had our phone lines cut, and now connected to our cable co. for internet service, and it seems that may have been the issue, as it's working again!

Thanks! I think it was a combination of a slow dial up, and Netzero internet Hi Speed. Which sure wasn't very hi speed to me!

Re: Hello again!
Added the litle 3f Ballard last month, plus a Stevens Favorite 1915 .22, and a Remington #6 .22, so it seems I'm knee deep in .22 rimfires lately!rafter-7 wrote:hello MM

Just think about how much quicker and easier it will be to post pictures of your extensive holdings now that you have a cable internet connection.

Re: Hello again!
Almost forgot! I did pick up another Marlin whilst I was in hiatus from this site. It's a .25-20 deluxe rifle, with half mag and half octagon barrel, deluxe wood, pistol gripped, checkered. Dates to 1900.

By the way, Vall, that 25-20 is slick! I'd give a left something-or-other to have one like it. How's the bore?

Re: Hello again!
The bore is beautiful Mike! One of the first old Marlins in .25-20 that I've owned with a good bore. I've seen so many 1894's in .25-20 with bad bores, so this was a real plus when I found this one. Picked up a 1893 in .32HPS, with a 26" full round abrrel today too! It wont be here for a couple weeks, so pictures will come later!-Vall
