Replacement gun
My brother's house was broken into and robbed recently. The thieves got 4 of his 5 guns, they didn't find the AR-15 he kept loaded.
I'm going to upgrade my safe and have decided to give him the small safe I have in the house now.
I also decided to give him a Marlin that I recently bought. It's a 336CS in 30-30, tonight I mounted a scope I had laying around and boresighted it for him. When I take the safe to him I'm going to give him the 30-30 too.

That is the kind of friend a brother needs, bless you. That is a fine looking Marlin.

Sorry to hear this Warhawk. That 30/30 will be a treasure to your brother.

Re: Replacement gun
Your brother will love it and appreciate the sentiment. Very nice (and good looking rifle)!

Re: Replacement gun
You are a dang good brother.
Re: Replacement gun
He's had a tough time the last few years, single dad raising two girls. We try to help out all we can, getting robbed was kind of the last straw. I knew the guns would be his last priority in getting the stolen stuff replaced.
Now if I can get him to come down here to Texas and go hog hunting with me!

A big BA dog might be just the ticket, too. I have three here that look after things when I'm away.

That's another thing ... they had a boxer pup just about raised, when either it got into something that killed it, or someone poisoned it. Girls got home from school one day and found the boxer dead. That wasn't any fun.
I suspect they have another dog, but I haven't asked about it.

Re: Replacement gun
Warhawk, sorry to hear about your brother's troubles. Just a little advice from a guy who used to take burglary reports. Have your brother bolt the safe to the wall studs or floor joists. Burglars have been making it a habit to take the whole safe. Plus, have your brother try and keep a concerted watch on his place for about the next month or so. Thieves also have a habit of ripping someone off and giving them a little bit of time to replace the things they took and they'll hit them again. Especially since they got some firearms.

Re: Replacement gun
That's good of ya Warhawk. Where does your brother live? Hopefully when he gets the safe he'll bolt it to the floor.

Re: Replacement gun
I agree with the others, sounds like you're a good man and a good brother!
Re: Replacement gun
You're OK man. I don't care what everybody says about you!
Seriously though that is good of you and should be a morale booster for your brother at a tough time.

Re: Replacement gun
He's in Kansas, I'm in Texas. The safe will be anchored to the floor, which is a concrete slab in the room he's planning to put it in.

Re: Replacement gun
The rifle will certainly help get him on his feet again- he now has a varmint / survival gun (M16) and a deer gun. He is well on the way to being back in business.
