  1. If it’s nothing special he would probably be better off either getting a new stock or selling the rifle as is and buying something closer to what he wants.
  2. I have always avoided Henrys because of the loading. In some research I was doing a few months back, I saw that Marlins always have problems jamming in the context of cowboy action shooting. They are fine for hunting but if you get the action not directly up and down, think kinda angled when running the lever really fast, they are almost guaranteed to jam and it’s due to the design of them. That’s the reason all the CAS shooters use Winchester clones of some sort. Again this is solely from research, NOT personal experience. I have only owned a Marlin 336 in 30/30 and a Marlin 1895 in 45/70, both ran perfectly for me. Always wanted a Marlin 1894 in 357 Mag but after learning of the design limitations, I think I’ll just hold out for a Winchester 92
  3. Marlin 30-30s were dime a dozen, but I don’t remember a time when Winchesters were plentiful. And Winchester 92s/clones and Marlin 1894s have always been less available than the 30-30s or 45/70s
  4. I’d keep the Winchester. If you want a carbine in a revolver caliber later, get one. As a side note though, might consider keeping them both, or trading the 44 for a 357, as revolver caliber lever actions usually hold 10 rounds flush and aren’t usually subject to any AWB that may or may not be coming... .30-30 is roughly same power level as 7.62x39. Drop anything in TN (deer, black bear, 2 legged varmints) one shot in the right place inside 200 yards. 44mag is dropping FAST after 100 yards. Personally I wouldn’t want to get rid of either as the Rossi is a good Winchester 92 clone, but I’d say 30-30 has better overall utility than 44 Mag, especially without a companion revolver.
  5. We need your crow of judgement to preside over this case.
  6. Civil seizure happens all day every day. This pisses me off just as much as that does.
  7. Glock doesn’t have a break in period, but it’s still a mechanical device made by machines and humans. There can be problems. And when it’s your life at stake, why not shoot a couple hundred rounds through it? Not necessary if it’s a range or competition gun, but I wouldn’t bet my life on anything mechanical working without confirmation.
  8. Never knew Marlin made a 375. Do you reload for it?
  9. I guess some people don’t know you can buy ammo online. It’s out there, not just sitting in stock but it’s available sporadically
  10. I agree with what you have said, except I don’t believe there will be 3 hot meals and cable tv provided for the criminals that have overrun the cities.
  11. I think I heard a few years back that the reason the Leupold Delta Point was round was to avoid patent infringement. Trijicon has the square shape patented. At least I think that’s what I heard/read.
  12. Well, it’s better than airsoft, I suppose. On a good day, shooting down wind.
  13. Thanks for that. At least ONE thing in 2020 has a plausible explanation.
  14. How about we gather them up then air drop them in the agriculture fields in China? Just returning them to their rightful owner, right?
  15. Trijicon is definitely domestic. Some of Sigs optics are American made, some are foreign (Chinese I think). Leupold is American. Anything else is pretty safe to assume it’s foreign made. American made is so expensive now, it’s practically a luxury to have an American made product.
  16. It’s a .30-06 necked down to a .22 basically. It ought to be fast
  17. As Clint Smith has said, a revolver speed loader is nearly as big and bulky as another revolver. New York reload actually does have merit.
  18. From the factory, they need a new edge on them, stock isn’t very good IMO
  19. I was only 13 when 9/11 happened but I still remember one of the first things the president did was call for a bank holiday for 3 days. Couldn’t touch your money. And this was back in 2001 (obviously) but everyone used cash for everything. At least the people I was around you didn’t use debit or credit cards unless absolutely necessary. Now days it wouldn’t make much difference but the situation you described would be a big deal.
  20. Got the black manual. Like it so far but it is much larger (thicker) than I expected. It makes the Protech TR4 seem small and svelte. Which is no easy thing to do. I don’t think I could break it if I tried.
