Apparently one of the prototypes was allowed out and sold on gunbroker for $4025.00 yesterday. Someone rolled the dice on having a collectors item on this one.
WOW -
Street price should be ~$650 based on what I'm seeing from distributors who already have it in their system.
I never thought I'd say this but THAT'S LESS THAN A SAIGA, lol. Curses, never wanted to say that.....
-
I have heard they might try to expand to 2 shows a year but as of now I imagine it will next year.
-
By the way, there's someone out there that makes a PLUG for the crossbolt and if you never handled a Marlin you wouldn't know what use to be there. It's that smooth and nice.
-
I'm not saying that path is for everyone. And I'm not saying that's something I've done on every lever I have. But if someone is having trouble getting past it mentally, just like plastic surgery, "we can fit that", lmao.
Honestly I'd love to have the money and patience to capture every rifle on my list in pre safety fashion. Trouble with that is some of the best rifles, at least on the collector side of things, are being made now or have been made since the 1983 cb addition.
But it all works out because very few of them in the "collector" category get shot anyway
-
There is always the option of just putting "the fix" on a Marlin with the cb safety and being done with it. Where there's a will there's a way !
-
Well I am glad there is a company out there that's always looking to try something new and different. I will wait until their semi auto platform in this gun arrives
-
I for one would LOVE to have one in my safe. I do enjoy the 7.62 platform

NICE

Just for functionality vs price, Henry makes blued lever guns less expensive than the golden boy or big boy brass-colored receivers.
Saw a youth model blued henry .22 at Sportsmans Warehous that was cute as could be and very inexpensive. Less than $200 but I can't recall how much less than $200. Had a 16" barrel and youth-sized stock. The pull wasn't so short that an adult couldn't shoot the thing. The action seemed just as smooth as the more expensive henries. Something that small would about fit in a good-sized hiking backpack.
I just mentioned the golden boy 22 because MrBrian said he wanted a shooter/collector and while the blued versions are great I don't consider those as much as a collector piece as the GB models.
But I wouldn't kick either out of the safe
-
I just can't SEE it , lol.
I guess it's because I ain't su-fist-i-cated enuff, hahaha

After a real quick Google search I wouldn't want to spend any major money (firearm purchase) before I established a connection with a real human on the other end.Seems several have asked the same question about them all the way back to 2007.

That's not an accident,lol. We believe a gun show should only have, well, GUNSI was highly impressed with their last show. Nothing but guns, primarily older guns. It was heaven.No Glocks, XD's, AR's, beef jerky, pickled eggs, seamless gutters or any of that other stuff. Just a lot of nice old guns. !That's one reason I renew my membership with them every year. It's worth the extra money to have a great show in a great location than to have a small gun show mixed inside a Chinese bazaar. Hey Garufa, you ever empty your p.m. box ? Tried to send you a p.m. after the last Knox show and it said you weren't taking any more visitors,hah !

Dag on 404 time out, lol

When: August 27 & 28, 2011
Where: Jubilee Banquet Facility (Our last show was held here)
6700 Jubilee Center Way
Knoxville, TN 37912
I would get there early as last time the crowd got heavy quick and parking was chaos.
I am still kicking myself for missing out on a matching International Harvester M1 Garand.
-
I guess it all depends on how much you plan on shooting it MrBrian. The cost of ammo will weigh in on anything bigger than a .22 . And if you choose 22 then it would be pretty hard to beat a golden boy Henry. I myself am a Marlin man through and through but it will be hard to find a "collector" grade Marlin 22 lever for what you can buy a new Henry for.

that's REAL nice OS

I second the bike flag idea and add that it can also aid in solo hookups for a small investment. 2 flags, 2 plastic poles with a great deal of flex (think big rig antenna) and 2 hi strength magnets. I originally saw it in use at a buddy's house. After one too many times of backing his truck into and up & over the tongue of his boat trailer he invented a little helper. By attaching a flag to a cb antenna and then threading that down into an old speaker magnet he could place one on his tongue and one on his hitch right in front of the ball. When the 2 flags almost touched he knew he was there. Redneck version of a backup camera but it works !
And 56FordGuy is right on with the towing "cradle". I was told many years ago by a cross country boat transporter to do the same thing. After having one plow pavement and then kick back up and attempt to ramp over his truck he started practicing the same style hookup. It's one of those things that makes complete sense but never occured to me, lol.

For me the lever represents all the western movies burned into my brain,lol. All the heroes who saved the day using one and the bad guy being took down with one. Its that anticipated rack with an empty casing being tossed into the air as a small puff of smoke follows and knowing that next one will be the one that counts.And while most calibers are available in several platforms nowadays, there's just some that are "lever worthy" Lmao.
-
I've always liked them, but rarely owned one. However, several years ago, I picked up a Japanese Browning 44 Mag that's beautiful. And I'm ashamed to say that it's still in my safe, absolutely unfired, by me.
I assume you are referring to a model 92 ?
If you ever decide it's taking up too much room keep me in mind........

I bought a Norinco SKS and the lug on the barrel does not appear to be one that will mount a bayonet. Does anyone know if I can do anything about this? It appears the ends can be changed if you take out a pin, but I need an "expert" to advise me.
I'm just guessing but I bet your lug is earless ? Meaning someone neutered it along the way and all you have is an odd shaped block there.

On a side note I would like to announce a Knoxville gun buy back. Bring me your colt snake guns, your top of the line beretta shot guns and your custom 1911s. In return I'll give you a Visa gift card (as good as cash) for, I dunno, 15 bucks. You can't lose, think of how much safer you'll be!
Your words have touched me mosinon. With that said I will tear myself away from monitoring schools for using the word GAY and come help the cause. Along with mosinon's gun buy back I will be hosting a "cartridge for candy" party. Bring all that dangerous ammo in and receive a snack size pack of M&M's.

No matter if it is a "reputable" realtor or not–unless the "buyer's agent" is paid out-of-pocket, there is conflict of interest.
I understand that money will be the motivator, but find me a realtor willing to get in there and fight their arse off so you can get a great deal, FOR FREE, and I'll show you the realtor who won't be in business long.

My "goto" realtor is a 20 year veteran of the Marine Corp.
WOW

Isn't this taking it a little too far?
