Marlin 1895 Cowboy

Hi guys,

I am considering getting a Marlin Cowboy in 45/70 (to go with my guide gun) and was wondering if anybody has one? Any thing to say about them, good or bad would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Re: POLITICS - PBS Palin Poll and left-wing action

The poll says 49% to 49% so I don't see where anyone is exactly cheating or running away with it. But I will say that I don't think Caribou Barbie is qualified for much of anything let alone being one heart beat away from the Presidency.

Re: ya wanna see lots of levers in action in a movie!

IIRC, Luke Perry is one of the few younger Hollywood "stars" that is an avid shooter and gun rights supporter. Probably explains why he is not a "name plate" movie star... Or it could be that he's a pretty crappy actor and have nothing to do with some sort of liberal conspiracy.

OT Shotgun question

Hey guys,

Anybody know anything about Interstate/Norinco shotguns? I was looking at an ad for one of their side by side coach guns but was wondering if it's good or what? Anybody have one? Shot one? Is it worth it or should I run away as fast as I can?

Obama doesn't recognize his white heritage because BHO is himself a racist. There was a time in this country when blacks were suppressed, however that day is past. As I look as racism in America today, blacks are far more racist than their white counterparts. By the way, how is it that when blacks ...

I just got a Henry Frontier with the 20" octagon barrel and the buckhorn sites a few weeks ago. I like it a lot better than the regular Henry and it is quite accurate and function has been flawless. I am thinking I might need one in .22 WMR as well.

So I traded a rifle I didn't want anymore for a brand new Marlin 1895GS from my local fun store on Saturday.

Need some advice/help on this one boys. I have a line on a Marlin lever, looks like the 1894 model with 20" barrel, not octagonal, in 45LC. Asking $399 new in the box. Does that sound like a good deal?

I've been an ER Trauma Nurse for almost 20 years and I can tell you that a .25 can be a fight stopper. You just have to aim for the face. Every person I have seen that was shot in the face (and I mean when the bullet never penetrated the skull) stopped fighting immediately.
