There are venomous snakes, but you can eat them so they are not poisonous.
used to drive my mom crazy telling her that:)

It's going to be a shooter. Whoever had it before me cut the stock straight and added a buttpad so there is no collector value. it's gonna be my pretty hog gun:)

Finally got the Oliver Winchester Commemorative 1894 38-55 out of layaway and thought I'd post a few pictures.

Well went by my friends gunshop today and was finding him a sight on the computer when he walks in and says check this one out. It was a Winchester 94 Oliver Winchester commemorative in 38-55. Gun was in perfect condition but whoever had it before squared the butt stock and replaced it with a 3/4&qu...

I love my 53. If I find another at a good price I want to have it rebarreled or sleeved to 25-20 (my favorite round) Dad had a Winchester 92 in 25-20 when I was a kid and had it stolen from the house. Anyone got a nice marlin 1894CL in 25-20 they want to get rid of maybe we can do some tradin:) Dave...

Don't know about your ideas but If I can get another 53 I am going to have it sleeved for 25-20. Sure wish they would make one of those.

Thanks,

You want to give a troubled, pissed-off teenager a gun because he's feeling lonely and left out? NO, I want to give a good kid a gun since we go hunting together. He is not troubled and upset off he was just having a hard time dealing with new people in the house, same as you or I would. Don't try t...

BUMP. Glenfield would be OK too.

Looking for around $150. I know thats low but he can't afford much and neither can I:) Any old 30-30 would do, I can refinish the wood. Thanks for the help.

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to point that out:) Yes we talked about it, but in his defense he did know for a fact the gun was unloaded as we performed a check as soon as he opened it up. We are going to the range today to try it out. Wish him luck. I'll post pictures later. Th...
