OK, it's after midnight and the Valentine Bunny has dropped off the merchandise, so I can sleep soundly!

claybob86

Without pictures, I'd say keep the '26.

I too will take up for LeverBar. I think the site has lost a fine gentleman. We didn't always see eye to eye, but neither respect nor friendship requires that. The mark of a friendship is to give or take criticism with the spirit of helping. I try not to be too critical of my friends, in the hopes ...

Very nice! Nothing meager or paltry about that group. Thanks for the pictures and I hope you post a range report!

claybob86

Good safety poster! Ouch!

claybob86

Whatever. Don't let the door hit your butt on your way out.

I like the smileys. That's what I miss most from the old forum is the smileys, but I'm getting used to these. Anyway, these things serve a valuable purpose in that when, say, dry humor is presented, people who might be inclined to take it seriously can see, from the graphic, that the poster is just ...

claybob86

Good goin'!

Thanks for posting. I, too would like to see pictures of your repair, if convenient.

claybob86

OK, I can't stand the suspense! Please post the picture of your youngest son's first deer, shot with his Great-great grandfather's Winchester. Then take a break from here. You will soon realize that we're not as bad as you're thinking now and you'll jump right back in!

Hey, jnyork, did you find the problem yet?

claybob86

Freedom isn't free and it isn't easy.

Well the model 70 I bought 2 weeks before Winchester went down was $560. 00 with tax. Now the new ones are priced at $1188.00 with tax. with the last retail of a 94 original legacy 30-30 at $597.00 from my catalogue-- that means a new one will be about $1300.00 with sales tax. That for a 94 with re...

Nice lookin' carbine, there. The plow needs a little maintenance, though...

Tension's highest when the door is lowered.

I watched a guy do that once. He used a couple of steel bars that fit into holes in a wheel on the shaft next to the spring. He inserted one bar to hold onto to prevent rotation, the loosened the set screw, then slowly unwound the spring with the bars by turning a bit with one bar, holding while ins...

Bore's a 10, action's really nice. I wouldn't call that a beater, I'd call it a good rifle with character!

If he's a fraud, he's a darn good one!

We don't shoot bowling pins with 22s anymore. My wife shot one about 25 yards away. I was standing about 10 feet to her right and one of those little suckers came back and whacked my stomach. Didn't penetrate, but it sure stung!

Joe, what were you shooting at when that happened?

Belgian shepherd

Done.

Might be the little snap-catch thingie that holds the lever closed needs to be cleaned and oiled. (pardon the technical jargon)

Try this:

Otherwise just google "inflation calculator" and you'll find more stuff.

claybob86

Yep, only the sizer is carbide.

The sizer has a depriming pin.

They do have different seating punches for different bullets. Some of the manufacturers will make custom seating punches if one of their standard ones doesn't fit the bullet you're using.

Of course you haven't bought one. It's obvious from your picture that you're too young! Betcha Daddy will buy you one if you ask...

I'm sorry, Hobie.

I'm sorry, North Bender.

There will be more defects that the inspector didn't find. Things that can only be noticed after you start living there. Don't let yourself get pushed around on something this major. You WILL regret it.

claybob86

Ooooh, that's pretty! Looks like it's been well taken care of for those 116 years!

claybob86

Good shooting! It would be nice to see a picture of the rifle, too!

Ya know what they say,"a bad day shooting is better than a good day at work!" I know how it is with the wind, though. We get plenty of that out here on the plains.

Where? If you don't take it I will!

FWIW, I handle Marlins in stores pretty regularly and I'd say 95% of the ones I look at are very good to excellent. Seen only a couple that shouldn't have been shipped by the factory or displayed by the store. No problems at all with the two that I own.

claybob86

Good picture and story!
First thing that popped into my head when I saw the picture was "If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!"

claybob86

Welcome to the forum, Woody!

If you could post some pictures of that rifle, it would be helpful. See the sticky about how to do that.

I was driving a delivery van in Austin, TX and heard it on the radio.

Good for you, Cubrock! I won't buy ANYTHING made in china unless I absolutely have to have it and there is no alternative. I don't go to wal-mart, either. I think they have become an arm of the red chinese government, more or less.

I notice that people around the country seem to like our sherrif. As a resident of Maricopa county ( sherrifs jurisdiction ) I am less enamored with him. Maybe it is because my girlfriends mother knew him when he was at DEA, and she told us about him in those days Details, man, details! Let's hear ...

claybob86

Well, I would be speaking politely to you!

claybob86

I like it!

claybob86

That's beautiful, Kirk. The old ones have such fine craftsmanship put into them.

claybob86

I really like the 1894SS. I saw mine in the store and found myself saying "I...must...possess...this...rifle"! After a couple of years ago and a few hundred rounds through it, I still feel that way!
