Someone on the old MarlinTalk, I don't remember who, first told me about Leverguns.com a while before MarlinTalk closed their doors. I was going by a different name back then which somehow got lost over the years. About 32 years ago I bought my first center fire rifle, it was a Marlin 336C in .35. I...

"AKs and other so-called assault weapons are terrorizing their communities and endangering their officers."
After reading about this horror, I ran to my safe to see if my AK was up to no good. I must of built a good one because it was still there and not threatening any mischief.

I'm hoping to be there one of the days this weekend, barring monetary incentives from my employer.

Gary,
My photography skills are lacking. I had a light on the left side of the rifle so the wood on the butt stock shows up lighter than the forearm, but they are both the same, unstained walnut. Although Tru-Oil does have some color to it.

nice scope - what is it a Leupold fixed 2.5x? If it is - it is the same scope my guide carries looks good Andy, That is a Leupold M8-3X. They haven't made them for some time now. I actually got it about six years ago for free. It came on a Marlin 444 that I bought. I kept the scope and sold the rif...

Hey, how do you like the Deadnutz scope mount? i just saw an add for them the other day and they looked interesting. Thanks, Rusty <>< Rusty, This is my third Dednutz scope mount. I have two Tikka rifles that wear them and I liked them so much I had to get one for this rifle. They are as solid of a...

I picked up a new Marlin 1895G Guide Gun in 45/70 on Thursday. I had bought a Pachmayr pre-fit recoil pad for it and guess what? It didn't fit. Well I'm never happy with the stock finish, so within two hours of getting it home I slathered it with Citri-Strip and stripped off the finish. Once I got i...

I always looked for bargain rifles with buggered up wood and good bluing. I can't do the bluing, but the wood is easy enough. Now I'll consider them no matter how the bluing looks.

azoil,
It looks great. I have to thank you for posting it as I'll now be looking for Marlins in the used gun rack with your rifle in mind.

Why not try the ghost ring first and if it's not satisfactory, then scope it. Well I took your suggestion and will see how it works out for me. I have plenty of other rifles with scopes if I feel the need. The rifle looks and feels so much better without the scope and the XS ghost ring set up is ve...

Ben, I used it on a Angentine 1911A1 that I built. It had been recently parkerized and that makes a good base for the Gun-Kote, so I just degreased the parts and sprayed and baked them. Brownels does recommend blasting the parts with aluminum oxide and then degreasing before spraying. Without the pa...

oldgerboy, I'd be real interested in knowing where "a few areas that have a large and destructive populations ..." are. I have often found myself green with envy when hunters from other areas talk about hog hunting in their states. I have friends in Texas and Tennessee that often talk to m...

I was looking at Cast Performance bullets to use in a 45/70 and noticed two cast bullets that might work for the .35 Rem. They have a 180gr and 200gr. both are .358" with gas checks. Any suggestions or comments?
Thanks,

I'm glad to see the pride. I was born in Paterson, N.J. and couldn't wait to get away. First to New York State(nothing like the city thank God) and now to Pennsylvania. I'm now in a rural area that suits me much better, but I still dream of continuing the move much further west when I retire. Unfort...

I have a new 1895G that should be here in a day or so. Well I'm prepared for it's arrival, but have to decide whether to mount a Leupold M8-3X scope that I have or use a XS ghost ring sight set that I have. I want to use this rifle for hunting black bear and deer in an area where most shots will be ...

I was all set to lose it. I just ordered a new Marlin 1895G last week so it would make sense that they would slash their prices this week.
You got me!

Just arresting and if convicted, jailing, any government official who either does something to violate the Constitution, or proposes legislation which would do so, would be a great start. Great idea, but I'd say try them for treason and if convicted hold a public execution. Too many good people hav...

Lonesome Dove would get my nod, but I also love Tombstone. Val Kilmer does a great John Henry "Doc" Holliday!

Thanks much for the heads up Paul. I'll sure have my fingers crossed that all goes well and hope for the best. If we lose one more forum dedicated to the lever gun I'm going to have to get on line at a methadone clinic. I'm still trying to recover from the loss of Marlintalk.com.

I'm seeing that I'm not alone in having children that show no interest in shooting sports. I offered on many occasions to take them shooting, had my Son hunting a few years before he lost any interest in that. So I'm left to either have them sold off by my Wife or pass them to friends that do have t...

TP&W's official position has been that the jaguar has been extinct in Texas since 1938. I don't know how you will ever be able to dispute their view since it's also quite illegal to shoot a jaguar. It strikes me as being a bit odd that they would have a law preventing you from shooting somethin...

That's not a future I'd care to live in. I grew up in a time of great hopes for the future of this country and for the world, this wasn't among those visions. If this does come to pass, it will surely be a call to arms for the second American revolution. I'm getting a bit old to make a good soldier,...

Great job! There are some real treasures to be found among those beaters sittin' on the used rifle racks. I recently rebuilt a 1957 336RC that I picked up cheap. It now means more to me than any that I could have bought new.

Very nice. I'm surprised to see that Esmeralda is now making grips for so many different handguns. I had always associated her work with 1911s, in the same way I associate Cary of CLC Custom Grips with Ruger handguns. I'm not much for collecting art, but the grips these people are turning out sure q...

Due to some financial problems, I was forced to sell my 1895 in 45/70 a few years back. Well I'm finally out of the hole and was able to order a new 1895G today.

I recently bought and refinished a "57 Marlin 336RC in .35 Rem. I started looking at the different mail order companies and found the dies and cases are hard to find. It sure seems like there are a lot of .35 Rem. rifles out there so I'm left wondering why the dies and cases are so difficult to...

My biggest regret is having sold a 6" Colt Python in Royal Blue. I bought it new in the late seventies and haven't owned a handgun since that could compare in smoothness and finish. The manufacturers just don't make guns with blueing like that anymore.

I wish you didn't post those pics of Pugslie. I love them and thank you for posting them, but I wish you didn't. I just refinished a 1957 336RC in .35 and now I'm eying up my hacksaw. Pugslie is gorgeous! Great job.
