Re: Marlin 1894 CL
I bought one at an estate auction this summer. 32/20. First I have seen but heard about them for years. Got it for a good price all set up with a Williams receiver sight and a small white bead up front. Shooting a cast bullet load with 5gr of Unique I was told. Very accurate and fun to shoot. I have...

Re: What's The Story on JAG Brass? Any Good?
Seems to be quality to me. When I bought last year, it was a good deal. I bought .357 and .44 Mag. I have only loaded .357 so far multiple times no issues. I also liked it was a Wisconsin product = quality.

Re: Let's Have Elmer v. Jack Redux....
Like Sixgun said. Maybe that's why I choose the 300 Savage for most of my Deer hunting? A little more than the 30-30 and a little tamer than the 06, and still a 30 caliber.

Thank JFE!
I will be digging into it soon. Like you said about the lifter. I did by a factory one again (B71) and the same thing happens, Rats I said.
I look forward to the investigation and hopefully the 86 lifter will remedy it like you said.
Thanks again!

Re: Why I won't buy a Marlin 336 ......
A fun project for you, would be to fit it to your liking with a rasp and refinish, custom for you. There was a long gone gun writer/hunter named Francis Sell who lived I think in the Pacific Northwest. He hunted with his custom fit to him Marlins and wrote about it from time to time in the Gun Digest.
