Re: 375 Marlin Hammer Spur - Needed

I have several for the newer wide hammer style, but don't have any spares for the old narrow hammer. Does anyone have 1 or 2 they want to sell? Thanks, Dave.

Good deal Kirk. It becomes hard for a person to rail against gun ownership when they find that there can be a simple pleasure from the striving to do something well. And once they recognize that it's a challenge to make improvements in doing so, they usually end up supporting the right to do so.
