WOW! WOW! WOW!

Sincerely, thanks so much for sharing the pics of a truly beautiful, one of a kind 71!

Thanks cowboykell...I was talking to my son today and had them mixed up!

Tradgang, Leatherwall, Leverguns, and MarlinOwners take up 90% of my time on the internet. I have a Wing recurve I bought for my birthday in 1970, a dozen different makes and models of recurves and have made 6 longbows and a takedown recurve. Love traditional archery and will soon be back making bow...

Do I have this right?

The .38-70 was a Winchester 1886 cartridge and the .38-72 was in the Winchester 1895?

Appreciate the help!

Bigahh,

Thanks for the link to Paco's article...I really enjoyed it!

I lived in Missoula for 15 years and often traveled south to Lolo and I've never seen anything like that...just my guess the picture was taken somewhere else.

My favorite is a Marlin 336A from '51 in .35 Remington. Next two runner's up are a '49 Marlin 336RC in .32 Special and a Browning 71 rifle.

It would be an easy $100 more, if I had found that same rifle here in Montana. Go for it!

OWWWWWWW!!!

Thanks for sharing!!

Great pics and story!

Sounds like my kind of place...Blued and walnut always get my heart beating a little faster.

I like the old forum...guess I don't like change!

That's the kind of parent we all wish we could be...and if we were, the whole world sure would be a fine place to live in!

YEEHAW!!

Thanks for a great pic and story!

I saw one in a sporting goods store in Great Falls Montana a few weeks ago...they had it priced at $650. I'd say 85% condition. I can't remember the scope they had on it.

WOW, WOW, and WOW!!!

Thanks for sharing!!
