Thank you Marlin Shooter!
Marlin Shooter noticed me lamenting that I was looking for a Browning 1895 in 30-06 like the one that I was late noticing in Ohio, posted here last month. So he sold me his'n, and jumped through FFL hoops to get it to me!
What a beautiful rifle! It's in like new condition, and the action is so smooth, it's on a par with my BLR.
Thank you so much, Marlin Shooter!

That could qualify for an "if only one gun" award...

Re: Thank you Marlin Shooter!
It sure could. I have a ton of 30-06 ammo... and I noticed that everywhere I go, even during the ammo shortage, 30-06 is available.AJMD429 wrote:That could qualify for an "if only one gun" award...

I need to D&T mine to put a sight on. Haven't even shot mine yet, how about you?

Picked it up today... won't get to shoot it until next weekend.vancelw wrote:I need to D&T mine to put a sight on. Haven't even shot mine yet, how about you?
This is the first gun I've purchased that needs nothing at all... well, it does need a blank for the dove tail where the rear sight used to be.
Re: Thank you Marlin Shooter!
Hope I am not out of line here. But why does the lever split like that? I never noticed that before on the lever. Thanks in advance Mtn Jack
Re: Thank you Marlin Shooter!
That's the design, the lower half un-locks it.

Re: Thank you Marlin Shooter!
Hobie, that drawing shows five rounds in the magazine under a closed bolt... I could only get four rounds in. What'd I do wrong?

Re: Thank you Marlin Shooter!
push down on the 5th round when closing the bolt. You can slide one in the chamber before doing so -- a 5 +1 deal.

helping others, especially where leverguns are concerned, is a good thing... :)
Re: Thank you Marlin Shooter!
Thanks Hobie but I was wondering about the rear of the lever, Learn something every day thanks again. On a side note I race Hobie cat boats. Mtn jack
Re: Thank you Marlin Shooter!
The lever hinges just enough to unlock it just behind the trigger. It's shown on Hobie's diagram.Mtn Jack wrote:...I was wondering about the rear of the lever...
Re: Thank you Marlin Shooter!
I took the '95 to a friends back-40 and shot it today... popped a balloon on the first shot!
Never could get it to hold five rounds, though.
I dunno why, but some 30-06 rifles don't have the recoil you might expect... this is one of them! It's a keeper!
