I'm with Rihmfire...

Except I'll just take the reloading components. Got plenty of the guns to shoot them in.

Take a trip to your local barber shop and bag up all the hair that's been cut and spread it around the lawn.

Also if it's a wooded park, you could put plant a clover field or even put up a feeder fairly close off your property.

meanc

Since you already have a 30-30 I'd look at one of the pistol caliber levers.

Like others have stated, an older 39a really is one of the best Marlins to have, then there is the 44mag, 45colt, 357mag.

meanc

Different versions/configurations may come and go, but barring a USRAC type fiasco, me thinks the base model 10/22 is going to be around for a long while to come. If they are bringing back the 96/22 in Mag then maybe there's hope they'll bring back the 10/22 mag. Luckily I've still got my 9422Mag an...

Glad to hear someone actually shooting theirs and enjoying it. They have a high fun factor and make a heck of a good turkey and squirrel gun to boot. I've got one of the first models with the cross-bolt and no choke but at 50yds I can keep slugs in a 3" grp with the open sights all day long. Th...

My hunting has been limited to coyote, hog, white tail, and mule deer. So far, the 30-30 has been good for whatever I've shot with it, from 30yds to 205yds. Never had to shoot twice with it and never had to track anything more than 50yds. The only time anything ever got more than 50yds away from me ...

meanc

Aw come on - my 45 Colt properly loaded comes in the same rifles and has as much or more power than 30-30 in a smaller, neater cartridge! Agree totally. That's why I have them in that caliber, too. Don't forget the 44mag or 357mag either...but, the .303 doesn't (except the 1895, which is out of mos...

meanc

...because the 30-30 comes in those neat little Marlins and Winchesters, especially those Trappers. As far as ballistics go... I'm absolutely certain of the accuracy and killing power of the 30-30 on deer up to and past 200yds. If I needed something along the lines of 303 for hunting I'd just get a ...

Here's a not so old photo of a girl with a Colt and a lever.

I've probably posted it before, but this is my daughter with her Colt Frontier Scout and 9422.

meanc

Just looked at his ad on another forum and he's in Port Orange (central e. coast)

meanc

I saw that too.

I was considering getting it a week or two ago, he had it listed on a couple of other Florida boards, but then found a 336CS closer to home.

I passed on it mainly because of the half mag. The 336 at least holds 6 in the tube and I believe that one is three.

$300 seems a fair price.

meanc

I picked up one last year and it was ready to go. So, if yours has the ramp front sight and uses a barrel band then it will come from the factory ready to drop in. I can't remember what I payed, but here is one from Numrich's for $20 (new model) http://www.e-gunparts.com/productschem.asp?chrMasterMo...

meanc

Well, I've got two. One is actually the Wrangler model (same gun just with the large loop ever). I've not had any problems with well over 1500rds between the two of them. They haven't double fed under the carrier, broken any parts, failed to feed, failed to eject, or jammed in any manner, etc... usi...

meanc

Were you using a scope this outing and have you tried shooting groups with factory ammo?

meanc

I've been making that same "pledge" on 4 different levers in 45Colt, 44Mag, and 357Mag. Either I've taken them and didn't see anything legal or I've been too far out of range for a clean shot. I've even gone as far as taking the 30-30 and one of the above levers in the tree stand on severa...

meanc

Don't know what state your BIL resides, but unless it's CA, NJ, DC, there is no registration of firearms. So more than likely only he and relatives know it even exists, especially considering its age.

With that said, more than likely only he and relatives will even know it's not here.

meanc

Yep, 1987 mfg. And I love the wood, too.

I know it's just straight grained, but both pieces look like they were cut from the same tree.

meanc

Or more likely "Honey, I TRIED to sell it but no one wants it so I guess I'll have to keep it..." :lol: I've been fortunate enough to have kept a few with that very same M.O. :D I am hopeful some of the NIBers I've set back for my 'retirement' will bring such money. They just might. But w...

I've had my Ruger Redhawk and Super Blackhawk in the safe in their unlined holsters for well over 15yrs.

There's been no noticeable bluing wear I can see.

meanc

even with a romantic spritz of Hoppe's No. 9 under the stocks, they haven't reproduced yet....

They ain't shootin blanks, are they

meanc

Depends on where you bought it and what the box says. There are a ton of them out there with hardwood stocks.

meanc

You guys are too funny.

And 1886, that ain't right.

meanc

Yep, I'll never buy another one... exactly what I said last year after a range session with my other two 30-30s. Then I saw a listing on a local forum for a used 336CS... $225. Since newer Marlins are fetching $375+ at Wally's I gave him a call. For $225 I figured it'd be pretty well used, and if it...

Just got finished looking at Hodgdon's reloading website for the 357mag and see they now have rifle data and loadings for it. It's pretty eye opening. For 125gr they list a max charge of H110 as 22gr and velocity @ 2275fps and 41,400 CUP For 110gr they list 23gr @ 2400fps and 37,200 CUP. Who here ha...

#1 Win94 Trails End 44mag. Someone was willing to pay more for it than I was willing to keep it. #2 20" Win94 Legacy 30-30. It was the only Win94 30-30 with a 20" barrel and pistol grip I had seen out of Winchester that was available. It was NIB and never got to shoot it. But bills needed ...

I'm a firm believer in the high shoulder shot whenever the deer are standing still long enough for it. I believe it was in 99' that I took a 10ptr and two does with my 30-30. The distances were 125yds/75yds/95yds I was using Rem Cor-Lok 150gr. The buck @ 125yds was "nose to the ground" cro...

I've never had an animal come back to life after shooting it with either a 30-30 or 44mag. I'm assuming they both kill pretty convincingly.

It's a good thing those deer can't read.

meanc

Out of all the different configurations for a 44mag they choose another bolt gun....

Forward thinking hasn't been one of Ruger's strong points in a long while.

meanc

I like them both equally.

For every rifle I own I have a pistol to mate with it so they both get shot about the same amount. Same goes for carrying; if I've got the rifle with me more than likely I've got its mate.

Sorry to hear about that J. The kids kind of remind me of the kids in Gran Torino. Shameful, isn't it. My last blood uncle passed in 1987 at 72. My last blood aunt just turned 91.

Here's a 50yd target using Remington Golden Plated 550pk bulk. Shot with a bone stock 10/22 out of the box, a Bushnell 3-9x32, and a rest. Didn't sort the ammo, break in the barrel, hone the trigger, etc.... Just loaded up the mags and shot. Both my 10/22s and Ruger MKIII's shoot these perfectly. So...

meanc

Load a few rounds with your roll crimp, measure OAL of each w/ a micrometer, make a note of each one's length. Make sure you mark each case (ie. ABC/123) so you can keep track. Load up a mag full and eject them. Do this 3 or 4 times, then check each for setback. Then load them up again and shoot 3-4...

meanc

With the scope, especially if you can and will actually be using it, it's worth every bit of $250 considering it's pre-safety and walnut. That is unless you want/have to have it right now, then I'd offer $275. Brand new ones from Wally World with a scope can be had for under $350 just for comparison

meanc

The later models were squared levers.

Yep, mine was made in '57.

It just doesn't have the same contrasting curves the Winchester or newer Marlins have.

Headed up to Alabama for a week for family visits and father's day. Before I left I carried my Ruger 10/22 and MKIII. Well, that one week turned into three. Don't get me wrong. I love those new fangled semi-autos with their detachable mags and all. And those scopes make them pretty darn miss-proof, ...

meanc

Well, I think you'd be selling yourself way short just wanting to buy "new". I've got both a 9422 and a 1957 39a. Bought them both used and they are two of the most reliable and well built 22 leverguns ever. I also have a Henry H001. If you can find a used Win94 or 39a, you'll be way ahead...

meanc

I'm no expert, but the point of the barrel that let go looks like a complete blockage as if a bullet that didn't exit the bore. I very seriously doubt a wasp (even 2 or three) could have provided enough blockage for as violent a bulge as that one, especially that far down the bore. But glad everyone...

I wonder if a 44mag cylinder will fit inside the flattop cylinder frame.

I'm assuming since they made the 50th flattop 44mag it will.

Anyone care to take a measurement?

I'm back up here in Alabama (wally world) plenty of 9mm/45acp/40S&W/357mag/38spcl...
