Guns of the Old West
I write very few checks anymore, but one of the ones I did write back in December was to renew my subscription of " Guns of the Old West " magazine. It's been driving me crazy that they haven't cashed it (I catch it each week when I balance my checkbook, and yes - I still do that manually!...

Re: Ruger Marlin 1894 44 Magnum
I have an older model 1894 in .44 Magnum, bought second hand for $150 back in Indiana in the early 1980's. Wonderful gun.
