In my part of town you keep everything in the safe. I'd put my house in it if it would fit. I may shoot the Browning Grade I. But may have to buy a Marlin CB to shoot . These three are not found very often around here. Been along time since I last saw any. Thats why I went overboard and bought these...

When WD-40 Drys it leaves a fine sticky flim which is a dust and dirt magnet. I work in the machine shop at Lockheed Martin's missile plant in Tex. For a thin lubricant we use spindle oil on or precsision insterments and for general use something like 3 in one is good if it needs to be thin. WD-40 i...

jgt I have a Uberti 1873 in 45LC with a 30 inch barrel from Cablas. At 70 to 80 yrds on a metal target you hear the report and then the round hitting the target. So much fun to shoot,zero recall. I got mine in 95 put together very well. All coloring is very good . I also have a 1866 Yelloboy and two...

:( :x Went back today and found a friend who collects Marlins so we went over and looked the gun over. He showed me that it had been reblued and the wood had been refinised. Still a nice gun but not at that price. So all I got out of it was a good lesson. That in itself made it all worth while. Than...

Thanks all. I don't know if I'am going back to the show today or not. Had a chance to sleep on it and still working on my first cup of 40 weight. Still the double set triggers are so alluring. Let you know what I decide to do.

Has a 28'' barrel and something if never seen on a lever gun , has factory double set triggers. How hot is that. It is a 45-70. Made me drull like...
