Thanks guys for all the great info. I don't intend to fire the rifle, I want to pass it on as an heirloom asit's been in my family for a couple of generations already. It's nice to have some background on it, hopeing the information will increase the appreciation for the gun. Be safe!

So this rifle was used by a persian soldier around the turn of the century?

I grew up shooting the gun, but its been almost 30 years since the last time it was fired. Keeping it now purely as an heirloom. Heres a picture of the ammo box. The bullet it fires is on the left next to a 30-30 in the center and 5.56 on the right for comparisons.

I inherited a bolt action rifle from my father and would like to know some history on it. Heres some pictures of the markings on it. Thank you!

Ive used a Marlin 336ts for almost 30 years now. Placing XS ghost ring sights, a Butler Creek Alaskan Magnum sling, and a Butt cuff from cabela's on it turned it into a handy truck gun as well.

I dont carry sprays only because I usually have a 3 year old with me when I'm out and about. Using pepper spray would put her at risk for exposure. I do carry a knife and flashlight.

Some of the tactics I use fairly consistantly are... Park inconviently, this prevents getting crowded, and ending up trapped between vehicles. It also allows for a greater field of view around the parking lot. Drives my wife nuts but I all ways back in or pull through, allows for a...

I have a Commision rifle that I inherited from my father, and he inherited from his. I was supposed to have received it when I graduated from high school but we had all thought it had been lost in a house fire. After my father passed my brother and grandmother found it in my dad's storage...

I remember when Clinton was governor of Arkansas and him and Hitlery tried to ban all weapons that had over a three round capacity in a tubular magazine. The Brady folks don't know jack about weapons except that all their bodyguards carry them. I have an "assault rifle", a "patrol rifle"...

I just finnished reading a great book on ballistics. Understanding ballistics : basic to advanced ballistics-- simplified, illustrated, and explained. By Robert A. Rinker. While I have to admit that some of the math used in the book was over my level, I was able to understand all the science...

Strange, I've NEVER been in a gun store where everyone didnt carry.

Knife vs gun, isn't hopeless. Your not fighting the gun your fighting the man holding it. Break the midline- move to your 1o'clock, stepping outside his gun arm. Close and Envelope-Get too close to him, quickly enough to keep him from turning the gun on you. Hit him fast, hard, and often...

I had my first Black Belt at 14, my second at 18 I was a senior in high school. Most of my buddies either studied with me or played football, or baseball. None of us would have tolerated some flaming metrosexual pansy shooting up our school. I know, I know its not cool to say it anymore but...

My kids are taught to fight back. My son, my scouts, my church youth group. Self defense is not a right. It's an obligation. To not resist something is to encourage it at. If someone attacks me, a 35 year old male in excellant health, and good shape with martial arts training, military...

Heres another question to throw into the mix. Even if there was a CCW present, would they have stepped up? So many of the situational threads are of people saying "be a good witness". Special permission to carry on a campus? :barf: I've already ready proved my compentancy with my weapon to...

Did the forums format change? This is a gun forum right? Lets see how subtle I can be in stating my opinion. I think the occurance in question, that is the pre-meditated of 32 people but some sick psycho in a college campus is a direct result of the works of the Rosie, Sarah, Hillery...
