I can't but it sure hasn't rubbed off on me yet.
I do try to send some west but am met with great resistance....lol

I just looked up one double I thought I may be able to get cheap.
It's an Iver Johnson Skeeter 410
How much could that be ?
I'll tell you.....a lot

The sheer volume of stuff you get to fondle is amazing.

I love old guns....it can be hard as I'd like to try so many.
But just admiring them is enough most of the time.

Those are freaking gorgeous guns!!!

Imagine that smith sitting on a bench stool looking through a loupe engraving that piece who knows how many years ago!

Your supposed to tell me about the Marlin.
It isn't the early early one with the loading gate.
It loads from the front.

I'm terrible at taking a full rifle picture.

Totally missed this marlin yesterday.
Thought it was just a pump 22
It's 25-20 though.

A frontal for you AL.

The pump .25-20 in a Model 27.

The other is an 1891 Marlin. They were also made with a side loading gate. There was another model in .32 and could be switched from center fire to rim fire by changing the firing pin. A total of 18,643 were made. Annie Oakley used one in gun shows!

Noice...

Well yes and no....Definitely nice to see and examine.
I really like just checking them out.

Some I know I simply can't afford.....that's easy
Some I hope they price cheap.....that's where it gets difficult.
Say they have 2 I'll never see again.
Could probably work one out easy....the juggling for that 2nd not so much.

NNIIIIIIIIIIIIICCE!!!!!

That is the one gun I have a chance at.

I should find out this coming week if they got them all.
I had to do some creative financing to get ready but it all worked.

Nice!
