Would have been mine if you wanted a Marlin.

Want to trade for a Marlin 336 in .30-30?

Granny had been around, she has good trigger control.

Blaine Whited Strategic Firearms Solutions info@strategicfirearmsolutions.com great guy, LEO (MNPD) he is over off of Edmondson Pike just south of OHB.

I'm keeping the peep sight for my 1894 in 44Mag.

I have held this, it is gorgeous. GLWS

New Family Portrait

Glad you are home. I wish you a speedy recovery

Is that a new add that is throw-back 80’s, or an add from the 80’s?

Nice. I’m trying to ignore that tiny itch forming in my brain about the Savage 99.

That is the question in my head. Cross-bolt the handgrip now, and know the stock should never split again, or hope I got enough glue in the split to keep it together under the recoil of a 44mag. It was not a bad crack as I could only open the crack by maybe a 0.5 - 0.75 millimeter at the open end, just enough to put in the end of a large hypodermic needle to try and get glue deep in the crack.

On an iPhone, tap the three small dots in the upper right corner of the original post and then tap edit.

I did not want to assume it was 30-30. It could have been .32 WS (like this one from 1925)

Ok, so I finally got my Marlin 1894 in 44 Mag after waiting 70+ days. When it finally arrived, the stock was cracked and one of the tenons that interface with the receiver was broken off. If that happened before it was shipped (would not surprise me) or if it happened during shipping, the seller is basically non-responsive, so it is what it is. I was able to repair the cracked stock my injecting wood glue into the crack and clamping. I was able to glue the tenon back on as well. I then removed the poly finish someone added (it was even coating the butt-plate, unless that was the norm for Marlin in 1976) and went back with a hand-rubbed Danish oil finish. I really, really like a hand rubbed oil finish on walnut, as opposed to a poly finish. I may add a cross-bolt through the hand-grip part of the stock to strengthen the repair. I just need to figure out the pieces I want to use. I have put the rifle back together. I hope to shoot it soon, although I may wait until I decide on the cross-bolt addition. Now I need to line all the levers up again for a new family portrait.

I think you may have posted to the wrong “TGO”. This is Tennessee GUN Owners

Welcome. Your have found a good group of folks on this forum. All are 2A supporters, but the political and social leaning of the members are far from narrow. However, we are respectful to each other. The Moderators (and TGO David) are great and don’t put up with any BS.

In what caliber is it chambered? What is the other Winchester in the photo?

Still curious about the year it was made.

With the cross bolt safety, it should be from ‘83 or later. What are the first two digits of the serial number? Subtract that from 100 and that should be the year of manufacture. 17 = 83, 11= 89, etc.

But you need another one.

Looking for a Marlin 336RC in .30-30?

I have a CZ P10c with a Romeo1Pro and it shoots great. GLWS
