"New" Marlin in the house

Post by Yance »

Haven't posted lately since not much has been going on here in the way of levers, or others for that matter, but I stopped in to say Howdy to my friends at the oldest pawn shop in town Thursday and happened to notice a 2/3 mag tube rifle in the rack.

Too slim to be a .444 or 1895, turned out to be a LNIB 1894CL in .32-20! Been hoping to find one I could afford for several years, and thanks to the Gov't holding on to some of my money for a year this one followed me home.

It's been fired a little, probably just enough to see if the Lyman tang sight was "close".

Nice lever, you'll enjoy the shoot! (They like to follow us home, wish they'd always obey when firing at that bullseye!! :lol: )
