I have inherited what, in my limited knowledge, I think is a Marlin Ballard #2. Does anyone know anything about these? Serial number is 36XXX, so late 1880s-1890s? It's stamped 32 Long on the barrel. The barrel is bright with no pitting and nice rifling. The finish is mostly surface rust so I've wiped it down in oil. Is it common to reload for these? I'm also curious about value due to one place telling me $800 and another told me I wasted a gallon of gas picking it up (not possible, I love family guns). Thanks for any info, Jarrad

Same here. Got mine from amazon though.

I haven't been to one. Always something getting in the way on a Saturday.

Gjohnsoniv, what an excellent accent idea. Never seen that before Gregintenn, the carving is outstanding. For anyone interested in mid TN, Tandy Leather Nashville was advertising a carving class either the first or second Saturday of January. I think it is free, but am uncertain.

Two last: Glock 23 or 22 IWB and S&W J frame OWB.

My dad has used Rhea Little Tire and Auto in Brentwood on Church St for years. Don't know if they do transmissions though.

As of my visit on 7-1-16, every entrance I walked past had a gunbuster sign on it. There were additional postings with a combo gunbuster and part of the TCA.
