I tell ya, this is fun…. An 1893 takedown Marlin in 38-55 made in 1901 which I competed with many times and a Merwin & Hulbert along with an early 1950’s Model 29. The bullets stick out a bit but if you pull the hammer back real hard they will cycle. Those suckers kick!

Yes, Jay (YK) and JReed used to do those often -- but in his "advancing years", Jay now forgets to show us his slippers in the photos.

Re: 38-55 Combo
I hate to admit it, but I have to retire the moccasin slippers for something with a better arch. Back needs it. You can see them peeking out in my "1060 combo" post.
