Re: Lost my Dog last Friday...
Sorry for your loss......but......it's still just a dog. I feel sorry for those of you that prefer dogs to people. It says something about you or maybe where you live. Out here in ranch country good friends and neighbors are highly regarded.

Nice Marlin, great price. Good thing you blacked out the serial number, otherwise I would have reported it stolen and the serial number police would have been knocking on your door first thing in the morning.

Re: Barrel Relining Question ???
Top off your powder charge with shotgun shot buffer powder before you seat the bullet. The plastic powder acts as gas check and will improve accuracy. Try it, nothing to lose and a lot cheaper than a reline...won't devalue your 1873.

Coyote hunters use them here. They drive country roads until they see a coyote, turn 3 or 4 greyhounds loose to tire out the coyote. Once the coyote is tuckered out and the hunters catch up, they turn loose the killer greyhound to finish the coyote off. Coyotes are bringing $50.00. Don't let them ru...

If you're getting more kick with the crescent butt, you must be shouldering it wrong. The crescent butt fits the natural curve of the shoulder. The only rifle that should fit above the bicep is a swiss or schuetzen butt and they were usually chambered in nothing larger than 38-55. Try shooting a 45-...

Check his other auctions. He has an octagon barreled 45-60 for $4500 that might be worth the money. The round barrel and under-sized wood ruins the $3000 rifle for me.
