I picked up a gun from my FFL guy the other day.
Got the gun from a forumite & was once again super pleased with how everything went. Pretty great bunch of guys I'v found in this & a couple other forums.

Anyway my camera crapped out on me but I found an old one in the kitchen & took some gun pictures.

1965 336 44 mag I just got.

1948 or 49, I forget, 336 35 Rem.

1998 Guide gun with a 22" barrel.

2007 308MX

1955 336 30/30. I'm almost done but really dragging my feet.

1894's & 1889's.
Top to bottom, 1894c 357, 1894 44mag, 1889 44/40, 1889 32/20 and the odd one out my Rossi 357.

Top to bottom,
1893 38/55, 1893 32/40 and a model 36 30/30.

The next two. a 1894 25/20 & another 1889 38/40.

Last but not least is something I bought a couple weeks ago. Its not a levergun or a big bore. But its a hoot to shoot!

Nice collection, I wouldn't mind the 336 in 44mag.

I didn't know the Guide Gun was produced with a 22" barrel?

It wasn't.

I bought it on a whim, I had the money & saw the gun, just had to have it.
Never liked the ports & a short barrel didn't matter, I liked the straight grip tho so kept it. Stumbled on a 22" barrel back when E-bay wasn't quite as communist as they are now & had them swapped out. Far as I'm concerened its about perfect now.

Wow, Thanks for the pics leverdude! Did you just get lucky and find rifles with beautiful wood on them or did You change the stocks out yourself?
Either way That is a really nice collection you have there.

The 308MX came with nice wood & the piece I'm fitting to the 336 is a factory Marlin piece of wood with nice figure.
The 1893 I got from precision & fitted/finished it myself. The Rossi I had a friend from another forum duplicate the factory piece & fit it to the gun & then I finished it.
I like doing it but it takes me a long time.

That 336 is the first one I personalised & its still not done.

I thought it was done when I got it rebarreled, thought it was done once the metal was refinished, thought it was done when I replaced the wood the first time. I think it'll be done for good once that wood is done. Hope so anyway.

Very nice rifles. I like what you did with the Guide Gun and the wood on the Rossi is very very nice. The pistol is nice too but just think -- for whatever you spent on the pistol, you could have bought another rifle or two. Thanks for the photos.

You're working up quite the collection of nice old Marlins Ken!

The Beretta may not be a levergun, but it is a "92"!

Borregos · Post by **Borregos** » Sun Dec 30, 2007 3:44 pm

Interesting, thanks for posting.
I have an 1889 in 44-40 and it is a joy to shoot, groups well despite a pitted bore

Nah, its used & I got it at a good price. Besides, much as I love a nice levergun, I just cant walk around with one in my waistband.

Dont think I have one that holds 16 rounds either.
