Well, so much for “quick turnaround”. I’m 5-weeks since the second submission and 13.5-weeks since the first submission.

I did it say they were against it. My point was the teachers I know don’t want to carry and want to co cern themselves with teaching. They don’t want to be thinking about being armed. Some may be for it, some may be opposed to it. Just because a teacher is opposed to the bill doesn’t make them anti-2A. It just means they don’t feel that arming teachers is the solution. I know that there are teachers that want to carry. Most, if not all, of us carry on a regular basis. We do it because it is our right. We do it to be able to defend ourselves or our loved ones. But we don’t necessarily walk out of the house every day thinking “will today be the day I have to defend the children in my care” and “please Lord, let my aim be true and let my will be strong”. That’s a big difference, and something an armed teacher will likely do. It’s one more thing a teacher has to think/worry about that is not education of their children. LEOs likely leave the house with that thought. Former LEOs might as well.

I’m not saying that. I’m just saying that the teachers I know don’t want to carry in the classroom.

My educated guess from the photos is 1971. It looks like the is a 71 before the serial number in one photo.

An FAFO situation

I’m trying to win a model 1873 at auction tomorrow, if it goes to high, this will sure be tempting.

I can tell you that none of the teachers I know want to carry in the school, much less the classroom. While they all would sacrifice themselves for their children, carrying in the classroom is not and should not be their responsibility. And if they do carry, will the school district cover their legal fees if they did have to use their weapon?

When was this one manufactured?

Man, this is on the list, as is a Saddle Ring Carbine in 38-55, and an 1873 in 32-40 or 44-40.

How did I now know that. I have always clicked on the name to go to the personal page to see the location.

Same here... Not that this has stopped me in the past...

Price? And what is the significance of the number engraved on the lever? Looks too long to be a SSN

That doesn’t work

it was the Marlin I may have been interested in.

What do you need to add to your collection?

I’m just the opposite, unless it is a single action auto (1911)

Ok. I probably should have taken better (more) photos. This is the rifle I got when my buddy Bjon got the one above. It’s also a Winchester 1894 but from 1907 chambered in 38-55. I cleaned up and re-did the oil finish on the wood. This was the dirtiest rifle I have picked up yet. It made me wonder if it had been cleaned in the last 50+ years. I had to get oil in it just to get it to cycle. I did a complete tear down, cleaning and such. The rust was removed from the metal parts for the most part and then cold blued. I like them to still have some of their character, not to look like a Turnbill gun. I picked up an old Lyman peep sight for this one.

Ah, good ol’ Ben Franklin. I had many of those little green army men. Most ended up succumbing to the bic lighter.

Somewhere around here there is a wooden spoon with my daughter’s name on it.

It’s bad form to question someone’s asking price in the thread. Those comments are best left to an IM.
