Gun Show Report from Yesterday

Post by Swampman »

I saw a few cool Marlins yesterday at the Fort Walton Beach Gun Show. One was a very clean Zane Grey Commemorative for $650.00. Also a 1960 vintage (very worn) Marlin 336 in .44 Mag. with an octagon barrel for $550.00 and an 1894 in .22 Magnum.

I'd have like to have had the Zane Grey but I couldn't afford it. I traded my 882 Marlin for the 1894 in .22 Magnum because it was one of the guns I wanted for my collection. I took a beating on the trade;)

The place was packed. I would guess there were 10 times the normal amount of folks.

Was at a gun show also. Plenty of levers. A win BB 307 95 % caught my eye because I very rarely see them. $800 and it came with 8 boxes of ammo. He wouldn't sell it with out the ammo. The thing I liked about it was it was like my BB356 presaftey and no rebound hammer. Too much for me.

1893 Marlin 30-30 rifle octagon barrel for $400 fully functional no bluing left on it.

Also one that was tempting was a pre 64 winchester very clean, no bluing wore off for $350 . But the stock had a big chunk out of it. It was in 32 special.

Not alot reloading stuff for sale. With bullet prices high I don't think alot of these people are carring a much of an inventory. So no deals on relloading stuff.

"IF" we get the stimulus check it will be a surprise. I've been trying to convince S.W.M.B.O. to let me spend my half on a new Ruger BH. But, more than likely it will go towards the new timing belt my Pathfinders needs.
