I picked up an early 70’s Marlin Goldern 39a from my LGS (I’ll post about it shortly). It came with a period Weaver V-22 rimfire scope. Unfortunately, the eyepiece was cracked. Anyone have an old Weaver scope that might have a good eyepiece?

I’m looking for a Marlin 1895 in 45-70 to complete my Marlin big bore trifecta of .375 Winchester, 444 Marlin, and 46-70 (450 Marlin doesn’t count ). I’m torn between an early JM one with a longer barrel and no safety, or a newer “guide gun”. Let me know what you might have collecting dust in your safe (or one well used and battle worn).

One of these days I need to get a Tisas 1911 if only because of this thread.

Went out of my comfort zone and bid (late last night) on a Remington/Marlin 1895GSBL in 45-70. I usually like to stay with the older, walnut clad, non cross bolt safety rifles. However, a guide gun is in the list. Sadly, I was out bid.

One is from the mid 70’s and is already at $900 before the high buyers premium (28%). The other was on GB. It was really rough. “A gunsmith special”. It needed the wood refinished and there were a couple serious spots of rust on the receiver and barrel, and it needed work on the hammer. The bore was in great shape. I dropped out at $760. The SRC I’m looking at, that sells on October 21 is rough In its own way. Just well worn on the finish.

So back to my previous question to the group (45-70 Marlin or old Winchester SRC in .30-30). Both 45-70 rifles I was bidding on went too high. Hopefully the SRC stays in my budget.

It’s been a long 24 hours

Well I guess I have to re-post a picture of my Marlin 444

Thanks for all you do to keep this community (and it IS as community) up and running.

Welcome. Where are you returning from?

You can still grab #5

I’ll take #4 if it hasn’t been claimed. PM on the way.

That might explain a lot.

Nice Savage 1903 slide action

One of the benefits of being ADHD, caffeine can act as a calming agent.

I had a few of those as a kid.

Do you have either of the pistols in the photo?

I like Canik pistols and had one for a bit. GLWS

Well, I did sell one (thanks @chris26) before buying this one, so it was a net zero gain. well, this one has a longer barrel and a larger caliber, so I suppose it was not a Net zero gain. I do have more “total lever gun mass” than I did before.

Relatively….

So, I reluctantly admit I might have a small lever gun problem. Got another one on the way. I will post it when I get it.

Marlin Glenfield Model 60 (1980 i think). I didn’t know then that it would lead to a bad case of Marlinitis in my 50s.

Very Nice! Too bad I just picked up a Marlin 444. Pre-64 Model 94s are sweet! GLWS
