[221 Fireball]

Project gun, but could be made pretty again with a lot of work. I've only fired it once with shorts and long rifle to test for function. Worked fine and the shorts were fun, so quiet.

The good: If I ran the serial number correctly, looks like it was manufactured in 1952. It has the fatter forearm than the later models. It works, the walnut has some nice grain, and it's got potential.

The bad: Looks like some idiot used the forearm for a hammer. The butt plate is not correct, a Fajen, not a Marlin. It will need a total re-blue and stock finish. It has to holes drilled and tapped in the receiver, which I imagine was for a side mount.

$400 no haggle, if you look at the big gun sites, you know what a pretty one is bringing.

 Safety Reminder for Buyers and Sellers 

This is an automatic reply meant to protect you as a buyer and a seller on TGO.

• Use the Buyer/Seller Feedback feature to research who you are dealing with.   Please come back and leave feedback for each other after the transaction is complete.  Your experience will help others.
   
• Never agree to use an electronic form of payment to buy or sell a gun!  None of the electronic payment services will protect you against fraud in a firearms transaction.  They all have terms of service FORBIDDING the use of their services to buy/sell guns.  DON'T DO IT.
   
• Be very wary of anyone who insists on brokering a deal in private or outside of TGO.  Scammers almost always prefer to operate out of the public eye.

I hate to see an addict confronted with temptation. Especially with a pusher like @KahrMan

What!!??! I mean I understand KharMan...he's even got me a few times. Wink! Wink!  But not me!! I don't have any nice things to sell.

Well, you were the one who gave me my first “hit”. But @KahrMan has helped keep me addicted.

He's got everything on me! Age. Looks...well maybe not the looks. And the funds to buy and enjoy such wonderful toys and sell them to others when he tires of them.
