Today an old friend stopped by with his 22 rifle. He said that it would misfire from time to time. The rifle was an old Marlin 122 single shot 22 that his father had given him. There was no finish left on the metal and just about all of the finish was worn off the stock.
After taking a look at it and removing some built up crud, the little rifle worked great. So while he was here, I gave the little gun a good cleaning. As I was cleaning the rifle and shooting the bull, my friend said that he wished that his rifle had a tubular magazine. He’s been shooting squirrels and said that if he could reload faster he could get more squirrels.
Now we’ve been friends for over 30 years and have helped each other out more times than I can count. We get along so good because, both of us are brutally honest.
After I finished cleaning up the rifle, I told him that I had something for him. I opened the gun safe in my shop and pulled out a Revelation model 110. It’s basically the same rifle but with a tubular magazine. These rifles were built by Marlin and sold by Western Auto.
I told my friend “ Here you go. “ and handed him the rifle. He said it was almost like his and in very nice shape. I told him it was his now and that he needed to take care of it.
He had a big smile on his face and said thank you.
Now this little rifle will get some good use instead of just sitting in my gun safe.
