Whelp, I picked up another Marlin 336 from 1957. It’s gonna be a serious project rifle. TBH, it kind of looks like someone took a fine grinding wheel to a seriously rusty old 336. There are places the metal almost looks Damascus . However I looked it over and the bore is good. The action is smooth and the trigger feels fine. My plan (as of now) is to cut it down into a 16.5” Trapper, and thread the barrel for a suppressor. It’s not going to be pretty when I am done, maybe a little more like a rifle from MadMax. I might try my hand at re-blueing, who knows. If anyone has a stock and forend for a 336, in bad condition (just not sanded upon) let me know. The stock that is with the “rifle” has been sanded pretty good and the tang (top and bottom) are nowhere near flush.

I don’t think anyone (even an anti-gunner) is gonna call you out on that assessment.

The wood had been poly-coated and the finish was meh. I stripped it off with denatured alcohol and went back with a couple applications of Winchester Stock Oil (I like the red-ish color) and then Danish oil. the forend grooves were all junky with poly. the steel was pretty much as it is now. There was some light surface speckling I took off with 0000 steel wool and 1500grit with gun oil.

This one is not a lever gun, but not an automatic or bolt action either. And it is in 35 Remington. 1936 Remington Model141 GameMaster pump action rifle.

I might have a box. I’ll check when I get back in town (Friday)

I was bidding on a 1908 Savage 99 in 30-30 but it went higher than the limit I set for myself. I need to just save up get the 45-70. Every time I’m about to pull the trigger, I either have a home (car) expense, then a different, less expensive lever catches my eye.

Is it because we listened to it or we are old enough to have listened to it when it was released?

That is on the list. I keep almost buying one and then I end up buying something else.

I was at the Grewnbrier location several months ago.

I picked up a “new” Winchester. It’s a 1922 Model 94 SRC in .30-30. She is is good shape for an almost 102yo. The bore looks great. Not a lot of blueing left. I moved the peep sight over from the 1926 to this one. Now the 1926 SRC in 32WS has a friend.

I have a 407c on my p365xl. I have a Romeo1 on my CZ. I like them both. I had a Shield SMSc but did not like it as much as the Holosun. The RMSc looks better as it is aluminum not composite.

Happy Thanksgiving. Thankful for the TGO and our community. “It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently, and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American people. I do, therefore, invite my fellow-citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next as a Day of Thanksgiving…” Abraham Lincoln, 1863

Nope

I have one of each

Truth. I had the Henry for a bit before I bought the Rossi. I had the Rossi for a month or so then I bought 3 more in a month.

Well, I won’t blame you, I already had an additive personality. You just introduced the newest addiction. LOL.
