Does anyone in the group have an old (1900ish) Marlin 1893 from which I could get some dimensions. I am working on a replacement stock on a circa 1900 Model 1893 (38-55) and knowing the thickness at the pistol grip, butt plate, and other spots would help.

Technically only true if they were rooster blessed first.

Regarding removing the part from the SKS, I can’t help there. Depending upon what they used, you might get away with denatured alcohol. It works really well on poly finishes. I just wrap the piece is t-shirt rags and soak it with denatured alcohol until the finish is soft. An old credit card or hotel card works to scrape it off. Also steel wool soaked it DA or acetone I have used citrus strip a couple times. Both were to remove old factory finishes (once on a Winchester and once one a Marlin). Same process to remove the soft finish. I have never worked on a Block country weapon so I am unfamiliar with what the finish should be. In any case, if you feel the need to sand, do it sparingly and DON’T use anything more coarse than 220. Even that will leave scratches that you will have to work out. Try 400 first and depending upon how smooth you want it, go 800 to 1000. Patience (of which I struggle) is your friend

I’m more upset about hearing this than about Toby Keith

Next time I’m in Shreveport

Kahr K40 Stainless Steel. I believe you got it for your FIL.

I think I have one of these disks around somewhere with a bunch of The String Cheese Incident live music. I probably can’t ever get it off at this point.

I second this. Brian was the first TGO member I met. Bought a pistol from me (what brought me to the TGO). He was a great first impression of the group.

PM sent

Damn that was fast. I’m third

I’ll take #1 if available

Do you have any issues with the sub rounds cycling the P322? I have a SR22 that needs a threaded barrel for my Hydra AL (when it gets out of jail)

I am in need of an early butt plate for a Marlin 1893 circa 1900. But, since I am working with an unfinished stock, I think I can make an early Winchester Carbine butt plate or even a really old Springfield Trapdoor 1873 butt plate will work. let me know what you got.

Just added a Savage Model 1903. I think it is maybe from 1908. 24” octagonal barrel. All matching numbers.

I learned to operate a right handed bolt left handed when I was on a rifle team in high school. You can’t remove the hand from the forend because it is in a glove and wrapped in the sling. Single shot bolt action is a trick left handed. Especially during a match.

Do they have the right to search a locked container bolted into the trunk, or just the trunk?

Just because they can search your car, I don’t think they can legally prevent you from having a gun in your car. The Castle Doctrine says your car is an extension of your home and you can keep a gun in it. https://www.tennessean.com/story/money/2016/02/11/3-things-tennessee-employers-should-know-gun-laws/80255594/#

An employer CAN NOT prevent you from having a gun in your car. That right is protected.

Well I also have these Winchester Model 63 Marlin Golden Model 39a

Price?

My most recent rimfire. 1910 Remington model 22 I will have another new to me rimfire this weekend.

Well, most folks can use (drugs and accohol) and wander around a public place or private businesses. The only laws against it are public intoxication laws. It is not against the law to be high (other than public intoxication) just possession of the drugs. Being on drugs is not enough to be charged with possession. I see (smell) folks high on pot everywhere.

Maybe we get a compromise out of this and they change the law so you don’t have a gun violation, but a trespassing charge if you refuse to leave the business when asked. This way the business still has control over thief property rights, but we don’t get an unreasonable charge if we unintentionally violate the statute.

Rossi makes a solid version of both the Winchester 92 and the Marlin 336 at a decent price point.

WTF?
