Must Resist!!!!
Went in to the LGS and was accosted by the owner and hauled to the back room to show me a Marlin 1895 Century II ltd in 45-70 and told me " I really need this ". Soooo tempted. Gun is engraved and has nice wood. Pistol grip/octagonal barrel. Supposedly only fired a few times. Think he wants me to buy it so he won't be tempted to take it home himself!!!
Would have to do some trading though. Have a 39A with checkered wood (deluxe?) that I could trade but do I want another 45-70??? Cash wise its priced at $1k. Too high??

I have an 1895CB and an old straight stock 22" 1895 and feel no need for another marlin 45-70. I'd go for my wallet faster than a rattlesnake at that price.

Re: Must Resist!!!!
Myself I would buy it as you ll regret it if you don t.Plus I bet you could probably get more than your money back if you decided to sell it

Re: Must Resist!!!!
Check the current prices on 39A before even mentioning trade. They are ridiculously expensive right now.

Re: Must Resist!!!!
Went back and looked at it again. Its a 1895 LTD--1 of 1500
Got the owner to come off the price a little more
It gets out of "jail" on Tuesday

Re: Must Resist!!!!
It really is a steal at that price, Rockrat. No enabling, just the facts. Y'all done real good!

I would give myself a friction burn on my hand from pulling out my wallet!
The most important aspect of this signature line is that you don't realize it doesn't say anything significant until you are just about done reading it & then it is too late to stop reading it....

Re: Must Resist!!!!
That's a great price at $1000, and even better at anything less. Glad it was still there when you went back!
