When my Dad died, the only thing I wanted from the estate was his 30-30 Marlin lever action.
I always loved that gun, since childhood.

I know I am not alone here, wood and steel manually operated rifles hold a big piece of my heart in the firearms world. Here's a 1949 model '94 in 32 Win Special I picked up at the gun show last Saturday. I guess I am taking my place as an old man getting older, but this is the stuff we grew up with. Just like a '69 Camaro or an old Ford pickup it triggers the nostalgia of hanging with my dad.

Ha, forgot about that old gag! I thought it would definitely explain Remi's constant railing on Polaris fires, but now I get it.Ovcource it is! Everybody here has had there house burn down or a terrific boating accident!
Not a gag, Hopefully a diversion from the stupid wackos in our currant Government our State and Most importantly Federal that wants to slowly take away our 2nd amendment rights. FJBHa, forgot about that old gag! I thought it would definitely explain Remi's constant railing on Polaris fires, but now I get it.
Dad was the collector.I have some heirlooms that I’ll posts on here when I can. I have the antiques safe back at my parents. We have a first year Winchester 45-70, and multiple 30 W.C.F. Rifles dated pre 1900. I believe the dates were 1887/89/96? One of them with the saddle ring lost its front sight and story has it, my dads great uncle replaced it with a penny. Not sure of the year but I’ll get photos for you guys when I can. Hoping around Christmas.
I have the same exact gun and will never get rid of it. Love 35 cal. Dont see to many of these anymoreMarlin 336. ,35 Remington. My dad gave it to me , it.was a good deer killer when I was younger. I still shoot it from time to time.
