Yes it is a beauty, are those notches on the right side of the wrist? I reckon it must be a .22, looks like a good rabbit gun.

It looks to be an early Marlin .22, But IDK if it's a Model 1891 or a Model 1892.

VERY nice gun !

Good score, Tom. If you did burn that patch........IF......it probably was only cause you were trying to escape with that sweet rifle before ole Six got it away from you. :D
Seems to me, last time I was there, there was a big 2 wheel patch out front. I think Six blamed you for that one, too! Something is fishy. I bet Six is hiding some cool muscle car around there somewhere. :D

Ha! I wish......I USED to have a '68 Firebird for about 20 years with the overhead cam 6 cyl with the 4 barrel carb option. Ran like a small block Chevy. One day about 7 or 8 years ago my son shows up in the driveway...from Colorado...with a car carrying trailer......I told him it was an early inheritance gift.......Then there was the 350 69 Camaro....beater...got rid of it. The best was the '68 RS/SS Camaro with the 350/300 hp. Car was beautiful..low miles....not a mark on it and I sold it for $750...but that was 1974 when they were all over the place. :D

I had to get special security people to install technology that detects Buffalo coats in case I'm not around but I usually am..not having much of a life since I got semi-old.

Thinking of calling Tom and offering him that like new 336 Marlin in .219 Zipper...one of about 3000 made. Wait 'till he hears what I want for it. :D ---6

It’s an 09. Has a 4.6 with a few mods, headers,cold air intake,injectors, and what looked like a 12 year old kid inside it with his laptop. I watched him push buttons and run it on the dyno, watching the numbers get bigger with each key stroke.

Just in case you were wondering that 97 shoots as good as it looks with CCI standard velocity :D
