I plan on using my 444 Marlin this year. I haven't ever hunted with it and I want to see how hard it hits with a high shoulder shot with 44gr of IMR4198 and the 265gr flat point interlock at an average of 2110 FPS. I have a Bushnell AK 1-4X scope on it. The ballistics are very similar and the...

That’s a steal! I bought a 1970’s perfect 39A in May of 2020 for $500, almost didn’t buy it since I already had a few different versions of the 39, very glad I bought it now.

I realized I was in the rifle thread, duh, and posted a pistol, but here is one of my favorite rifle that I was glad I purchased when I did: Marlin 308 MXLR

I don't own a Smith & Wesson with a lock but I own three pre-lock Smiths: a 547, 29-2, & a model 63, all of which are excellent shooters. The current guns are unappealing to me, which is a big part of the equation when I purchase a revolver. I enjoy the aesthetics of a well-engineered revolver...

If I were a Darwinist (I'm not), I would say we have some natural selection at work here. But seriously, the TV station/media outlet story stating that "the gun" accidentally discharged illustrates the dangerous mentality of the media concerning guns: "A man shot himself and injured a woman...

Just an FYI for a bit of trivia, my dad & I were using Varathane in the early '70s on his various projects and the can had a picture of their ad from the '50s. I haven't decided what to use to preserve the case color. Many suggest simply using Renaissance wax, which is also what most suggest...

Good information. And yes, it's the original case color hardened treatment, not a painted-on imitation. I will definitely try it in an obscure area so as to be sure, but this will probably be my weekend project.

I have a 100 yr old Marlin 39 that is in excellent condition and the previous owner put some kind of lacquer or clear coat on the receiver, presumably to preserve the finish. That would be OK but he did a mediocre job & you can see some brush strokes and a spot or two that he didn't smooth out...

Nice, just enough restoration without losing the character that comes from age.

The 10111 Limbsaver classic came in, along with the new, Limbsaver Airlight 10807, which is the equivalent of the 10111. They will attach to the stock, however, it looked so bad that I'm sending them back. The top was about 1/8" short of the top of the stock and the bottom was a good 3/16"...

That is awesome, thank you, I’ll give it a try!

I have a Verona LX505 20 gauge shotgun (same model as the 501, 502, 503, 504) that I bought new when Galyan's sporting goods was clearing out all inventory right after the chain was purchased by Dick's (talk about ruining a good store, but that's another story). It was $437 out the door, which...

My 4 Marlins are by far my favorites Marlin Model 39M, 1976, a Christmas gift from my dad in 1976 Jerry Nanson October 31, 2019 IMG_4050 by jertex posted Feb 9, 2020 at 1:34 PM 1972 Marlin Model 39D Jerry Nanson February 09, 2020 IMG_4785 by jertex posted Feb 9, 2020 at 1:37 PM 1962 Marlin...

Here are a few unusual Marlins: 1. 1962 Marlin 39 Carbine - about 10,000 of these were made between '63-'67 according to Brophy's, but mine is a '62 serial number 2. 1949 336SC 30-30, waffle top 1983 1894M 22 magnum

I have a dedicated AR-22 with a Nordic Components .22 upper that takes Black Dog Machine magazines, with a Vortex Diamondback 4-12x40mm scope that is sighted in at 50 yards. I can pop a squirrel with extreme accuracy at 50+ yards using subsonic ammo with a suppressor attached. I've taken aim on...

Here’s a video. It works quite well.

The copper penny (pre 1982) & oil takes the rust off without damaging the bluing

thanks, the wood was the easiest part. I was surprised at how nice it turned out with just a little steel wool, lemon oil, & Trewax.

Yes

I ran across this old Marlin 336 on texasguntrader.com and decided to buy it even though it had some rust issues, especially around all of the screws. What I didn't know was that this is what is called a "Waffle Top" Because of the wavy lines cut into the top of the receiver. This was only done...
