Any luck with the other places? I was also worried about using a brass punch on mine and ended up using a delrin/plastic punch. The shields are tight but with a little heat applied and a good smacl in a vice it will come out. And you can't mess it up with plastic. If you have a vice and rubber inserts for it, it may be worth your money to buy a plastic punch and try it.

Just beautiful.  :up:

Looks to me like when he switches to his left hand his right/support hand is going all the way under the gun to the left side. :shrug:

Haha yeah. I think he may be trying to reinvent the wheel there. Didn't notice that before. Looks like maybe he is grabbing his wrist?? Or maybe that's the hand that holds his tactical knife just like on Call of Duty?  :pleased:

Looks to me like he is just practicing transition to his weak hand. I practice shooting with mine but I always figured my right/strong  hand would be out of the equation if I wasn't shooting with it so I never saw the need to practice the transition. I usually just practice drawing or picking it up from the ground with my left hand only.

Well I STILL haven't received the screw I am waiting on for mine so I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. This weekend though I did remove the lever and polish up the end of it where all of the surfaces slide on each other and MAN did it make a difference on how smooth it operates. I was surprised at how rough the machining was on the lever though. It had very deep machining marks in it that the factory never even tried to smooth out. Is everyone's like this? I may look into getting a big loop lever in the future but not if it's going to look like this.

I used to have a dog that would do something similar with dog food. He just liked to drop it in the water then jump in the middle of the fish though. He knew when that dog food hit the water they would come splashing.

I think it's just going to work for mosquitoes. They don't advertise anything else.

I have one and it seems to work. It takes a while to get going and heat up but once it does it seems to work. When hunting I put it directly under my feet in the stand. I'd light it while you are walking to the stand.

Haha I saw you were having trouble.

The few I have so far are just jigged bone.

Naval jelly was one substance I saw used online. Seems like that would be difficult to use and clean back out but maybe not. I'm assuming it's thicker like petroleum jelly.

I have came across a few old Case Peanut knives that are grimy and have some small amounts of rust on the inside of the joints. I don't care anything about polishing them back to new but I do want to soak them in something and get them as clean as possible. Would soaking CLP or something like that hurt the handles? Would that do any good at softening the rust/corrosion?

And just for the sharp eyes out there mine is missing the rear band screw. Waiting on a new one to come in. I was hoping to get it out to the range this weekend and see how she does. The scope is a Leupold FX-II 6x36. Probably my favorite scope I have ever owned and just the right power for me on this round.

Id love to see some pics of the Texan. Here's a few pics of my beauty queen.

Don't feel bad. Your's is brand new and didn't come with broken parts like mine.  :up: I'm sure you'll be happy with it.

It's apparently common for someone else to take over the reigns of a superhero from time to time. I think this is the first time it's been cross gender though. I'm not a comic reader but do find them interesting.

I think the thing that bothers me is that my mark is in the shape of a drill chuck... :rofl:

I'll bet they don't follow this story line in the Avengers movies.

Yeah I guess I should clarify. I am mainly talking about the wood and cosmetics. I am not the type to neglect the care and cleaning of the gun. Truth be told I want this to be my hand me down rifle. Got a nice custom leather sling for it and all.  :pleased:

This is more of a poll but I won't add one. Just curious how many of you guys have safe queen Marlin 336's and how many have "users/beaters".   I picked up a 1993 made 336W last night with some normal wear on it and upon getting home found that the rear barrel band screw was broken and half of the head was broken off so a screwdriver wasn't getting it out. Being the impatient man that I am I took to it with a Dewalt and broke a bit leaving a nice little gouge in the forearm instead of waiting for a drill press at work. This gun will be used in the woods and ride in the car/truck and will get future dings I'm sure. Just sucks that I did that right off the bat. I of course marred the rear band a little bit but nothing a sharpie won't hide.   The nice surprise is that this is a "JM" or pre "Remlin" which are supposed to be better quality. Not sure if there is anything to that.    

Which model 336 did you get?

Oh I see. It still shows in stock but say's not available when you click add to cart. My bad. Didn't try that before.

Showing back in stock for those interested. I have one already.
