I suspect Marlin will take awhile to get production moving the way it needs to and reintroduce their signature lines of leverguns.
Hopefully they'll bring back numerous "limited/exclusive runs" of unique rifles like they used to do for Davidsons.

TraderVic

Lenn, I too, wish I were much closer to help you out a bit. I would drive my tractor over and plow you out. The old IH766 is a pretty good old gal. I set the timer 1 - 1 1/2 hrs ahead of plowing so she'll start somewhat warm. Much easier on the diesel. I threw a chain last week while plowing. First ...

Years ago (about 2001 or so) I got a good buy on a Marlin 45/70 Guide Gun. I hunted with it a few years, definitely shorter than I was used to - but it was pretty accurate. Decided I didn't like the ports (too darn loud and powder residue all over, me included). I talked to Marlin technical shop and...

TraderVic

The first Marlin made by Ruger is out now and is a 45/70 model. I agree with Vance above..

TraderVic

A classic caliber in a classic rifle with family history from the beginning. What a story and a most excellent Christmas present from your Dad.

TraderVic

Thank you Jim. Through the centuries, many have rejected Jesus Christ, and continue to do so. I believe significant reasons for this rejection is many don't want to give up their sin, many refuse to acknowledge accountability to the creator, thus refusing to surrender their will to Christ. Many refu...

TraderVic, got the recipe? GameKeeper, like your quote from the Ringo Kid! Gonna watch it tomorrow for the umtheenth time! :D If I was still partaking in adult beverages, my recipe for The Rittenhouse drink would be a small glass of good beer followed by three shot glasses of smooth bourbon whiskey...

Cool !
At this latitude it's always positive when our days start getting longer again. Unfortunately, the days start getting shorter June 22nd. Wish it would be like the end of August....or so.

TraderVic

I no longer use alcohol, but a friend told me there's a new drink here in Wisconsin called "The Rittenhouse" (not kidding BTW) ;

A chaser followed by three shots

TraderVic

Thanks Jim !
They sure do look like keepers.
So........how are they stamped on the barrel ?
Marlin = "JM"
Remington = "REM"
Ruger = ?

TraderVic

Dang, for some reason the pics won't open. I sure hope Ruger-Marlin produces the high quality lever guns we've been waiting for.

TraderVic

This is an interesting new Wrangler, but I can't find it listed anywhere.

I've been deaf in my left ear since I was 32 when an acoustic neuroma (brain tumor) was removed.
I see my audiologist next month to see about getting refitted with a new set of hearing aids.

TraderVic

There's a gun shop about 1 1/2 hours away that always has 4-6 Model 71's on hand. Never handled one, but would like to.

TraderVic

Rural addresses always take longer, at least they do around here.

TraderVic

Looks like a great "starter" revolver, maybe a good prerequisite to a similar single six in the future.

TraderVic

Dang, that's a pretty good day's work for a 22 revolver !

TraderVic

Congratulations !!
You'll soon wonder how you ever had time to work

TraderVic

$5.00 for a brick ($.09 for a gallon of ethyl gas, $0.90 for a carton of Marlboro's).

TraderVic

It's too bad they didn't have Tom Selleck overseeing the script and guns for period correctness. I've seen similar blunders in some of the old John Wayne movies as well. Model 92's and 94's in earlier period movies.

TraderVic

It looks pretty good..

On another forum someone mentioned this new Western, "Old Henry". Wondering if anyone here has seen it ?

Speaking of Grandad's Model 12, I have the Model 12, 20 ga my Grandfather had, then my Father, now me. Nickel Steel is on the 25" barrel. The serial number suggests it was made in 1916. Not to wander off the thread, the second Winchester to come down to me from Grandad is a Model 1890 pump, oct...

It must be a lot warmer where you are. It would need to be a very warm campfire (bonfire maybe) as it's about 25° up here.

My very good friend just bought a new BLR 7mm-08 this past summer. He mounted a Leupold 2-7x at my recommendation. He has always preferred "see through" mounts, which I don't - but it's his rifle.

I'm in my recliner, been sipping coffee, a bit tired from plowing out my farm driveway which is just shy of a 40 length. We got 12+ inches of snow last night, the old IH766 wore me out today. If only Santa would bring me a heated cab :) The woodstove is purring, the Christmas tree is now up, but not...

Well, I have two Ruger 357 DA revolvers ; a GP-100 SS short lug 6" and a GP-100 SS 3" Wiley Clapp, which I really like. Am ordering a Simply Rugged pancake holster for conceal carry. Will alternate the 3" with my Sig Sauer P938. At first I thought you were asking about a 357 levergun,...

I'm relegated to hunting with a crossbow. Rotator Cuf surgeries on both shoulders have restricted most activities that require much shoulder strength for very long.

TraderVic

Interesting comparisons. For some silly reason I've always thought of Ruger's Bisley hammer more comfortable to "work".
A Freedom Arms revolver will always be on my wish list.

Grandad never talked about the war, and wouldn't if asked. Dad was in the Army Air Corp in the Pacific, WWII.

I have several friends who are professional foresters and they say that the application of a sealant can't hurt any and it usually makes the property owner feel better.

TraderVic

No harm in applying a "seal" of tree kote or similar product. It will determine or prevent invasive insects. I have several River Birch myself and haven't treated any stubs when pruning.
Not sure this helped

Ray, I was tin cans as well, two different cans, one tour on each, however - I preceded you by at least a decade or so. Yep, second tour (after Vietnam), we "cat & moused" the Russian subs and surface fleet quite a bit. Single screw ? Really ? Wonder who thought that clusterf@$& up...

Back in the day all those LTDs were "holy grail" for some. Me, too. A close second place was the Cowboy and I did get that one. I set it up for a 1000 yard match, but never got to do it. How much are they asking? Agreed, I didn't have the resources back then to snag any of the Marlin Excl...

Always nice to see pics of your family's cabin. I know you've shown them before, but what are your revolvers again ?

I don't recall a straight grip model, just the pistol grip. Anyway - they are cool rifles.
To the OP........is the rifle you came across for sale ? If so, good luck with it.

TraderVic

Hmmm, thinking they were a Davidson's Exclusive offering sometime around 2002 - 2005 give or take.

TraderVic

I pm'd him today, asking him if he's OK. No response so far.

You bet...... and throw in some vintage (real) country music too ! I can think of a few more "vintage" things, but that would be going off topic.

Looking around the globe today, I'd say this holds true throughout Western Civilization anymore. Pathetic, absolutely pathetic.

Interesting ! Reminds me of the Browning Hi-Power. It weighs less than my Stainless Single Six (4 5/8"bbl). I'm surprised it's only available in 9mm.
