I've had several Marlins and also the economy model, the Glenfield, they had a hard wood stock and a short magazine tube and appeared to be the same as the 336 in every other way. I liked the side ejection because of the scope being over the bore as compared to the Win. 94. All my Marlins have found other homes years ago but they sure didn't leave a bad taste in my mouth. I just remembered I had a Marlin 27 once upon a time, it was a pump action in 25/20.
Derek, looks as if you have keep your Marlin well protected over the years.
Are the wildfires close to your part of the world? Sad to read of so many arsonists being involved in this catastrophe. Pray that you are not in the path of these fires.

Fortunately no fires near us at present but that is just pure good luck. There was one started by a dry lightening strike not far from here last weekend but they were on to it really quickly.
Everything is just so dry we hare struggling to keep some of our native trees alive due to a lack of water and these are trees that have adapted to a dry climate over 1000's of years

No hate from me - I think Glocks are excellent guns and very reasonably priced.

[philco]

Byrd you and I are much closer to being on the same page than the inventor of this double bbl. monstrosity.

[edge213]

I've shot and owned a lot of different guns over the years and the hand gun I've been most impressed with is the Glock line. Now let me have if from the hater's.

No hate coming from my end brother.
I love Glocks.

[Colonel26]

Wow! There are a lot of fine guns being shown!

QS, a wonderful pair!

Derek I too am a Marlin junkie. My favorite deer rifle is my ‘57-‘58 336SC .35 Remington. But the 1894 .357 and 39M .22 are just a hoot to shoot and get a lot more trigger time than the old .35.

TF I’d love to have seen that old pump Marlin. I bet it was a good shooter.

Byrd you and I are much closer to being on the same page than the inventor of this double bbl. monstrosity.

Yep! I don't like gimmick guns. Here's a pic of my current favorite gun. A Savage Rascal with my 9 year old Grandson running it!

[jerryd6818]

Derek, I hope you don't mind me fiddling with your picture. This should be a little easier to read.

[Quick Steel]

Byrd I can't decide which aspect of your photo attracted me more: your grandson handling his Marlin; or the sunlight and green grass which I am sorely missing about now.

[Byrd]

Since we're currently in the middle of a winter storm I'd go for the grass and sunshine! He asked me a couple days ago when we could go shoot again..I said come spring buddy! He's got the fever!

Glock makes great firearms. I just can’t “hit the broad side of a barn” with one. The ergonomics just aren’t right for me. And there are too many other great pistols that do work for me.

Derek, I also love my Marlins. Yours looks like a real treasure.

My youngest boy has a red one just like it. Pretty good little guns! Glad to see more little boys learning shooting skills at a young age!

[TwoFlowersLuggage]

I love this line on the Savage website: "Sure, you’ve only got one shot, but with a Savage, it’s is all you need."

[Byrd]

Yea, that little boy is my pride. He's very careful with that rifle, pays attention to where the muzzle is pointing, finger off the trigger. He even cleans it when we get home.

I've got a friend, I was stationed with, in Guam...1991-92. We've remained good friends. He's coming to visit, from Oklahoma, in a couple of weeks. He sent me this picture, I hadn't seen, from their last visit. His wife, shooting my Taurus Judge. It will shoot a .410 (my primary use is for a snake gun); also,(and here) it fires a .45 long colt cartridge.

Awesome pic! My brother has one and it’s a hoot to shoot.

Doc B that is an absolute prize of a picture!!! I have a Taurus Judge also and it is in my headboard. If the bad guy comes in at night I won't have my glasses on, so in the first chamber is a .410 and if he is still there after that the rest are the .45LC. The first time I fired that thing with the .45LC in an indoor range, the whole line stopped and looked to see what I was shooting. I love that gun!

David, mine generally stays at the ranch, for snakes...but it would be a great home, self-defense option. Snakes come in more than one form.

Another looong time buddy and I gave a loooong time buddy of ours a Judge for (I think) his 65th birthday. He lives out in the country on 5 wooded acres and shoots all kinds of critters with it. He loves it.

Mighty fine shootin going on around the country . 3 months into winter, and I can wholeheartedly agree that I soooo miss some green and the sight of water . Maybe i'll have to move out to bc for a few weeks each winter in the comin years, do a little mtbing/hiking/enjoying the sun .
Nothing to say bout marlins, cause what can you say. It's a marlin for peats sake! . I keep hearing good things bout Taurus handguns, they sound like perty good firearms, especially for the prices they run at. But can't really compare to the likes of, Browning FN, Colt/Rem. 1911, Beretta 92/94, P.07 Luger, P.38 Walther, Sig Sauer P226, CZ 75, Glock 19, ect. ect. But it's really not fair to put them into the same league. Modern handguns are just as good, if not even better then there legendary counterparts. I guess, just my humble opinion, and sorry to stir up the hornets nest . Heck if it shoots, i'll shoot it and love it!
Gun show trip was a success, especially for dad.
He picked up a perty rare Winchester Model 250, .22 lever gun in excellent condition for a great price. It looks to be a safe queen, old feller hade it, hardly shot the thing, sold it to the dealer, then dad comes along and picks it out, that's how we roll baby! Looks to have fired less then 100 rounds, would say between 90%-95% condition. Action is smooth as silk, tight, and gearing looks to be in mint condition. Just needs a barrel swabbing and she's good to go. Bro or me will grab a few pics for you fellers. Also I mounted the scope from my Benjamin classic on here, looks perty good now.
I picked up another air pistol to add to the collection. An Sig Sauer 1911 Spartan edition .177 cal, for an excellent price I might add . Cabelas hade a mixup in there pricing, so I got it at a discount, due to store policy . She's looks/feels/operates so close to the real sig 1911 is kinda freaky. There was the .45 spatan in the case and you literally couldn't tell the difference. Probably the most accurate replica of any hand gun I've seen to date. Weeell, kinda easy to explain because this is a real sig, designed by sig, and manufactured to sigs specs in Japan . It's basically sigs 1911 with different guts . At least i'm happy, and that counts for something, doesn't it!
Here's a pic, and link to the sigs website, product page on it, enjoy!

Are citizens allowed to own and carry handguns in Canada??

[WillyCamaro]

Own: yes, with a truckload of rules and regulations .
Carry: Absolutely not, under no circumstances are you allowed concealed carry, or even open carry handguns. Even in your own back yard. If the law found out, man they would throw the book at you, and then some. Even airsoft is prohibited to be carried in public, fine in yer back yard, or at a field. But if the law saw you in public, i.e town. Boy you would get it, again the book. You can't even transport hand guns without prior written consent by beuacrats, even then they can take away your "Permit to Transport Restricted Handguns", any time they feel like it. Rifles and shots guns are ok so far, they do want to start going after ar style/military sport rifles, i.e single shot and semi auto rifles that look like there military counterparts. You get the picture. Basically its what your country will look like in the short future if Americans stop fighting for there first and second amendment rights. We are just a little ahead of you guys, basically next level Commieforniea . Seems this federal gov we have, right now is hell bent on copy catting every thing commie is doing . Just take a look at https://thegunblog.ca/ and you'll get a good idea of what going on right now here in (broken) Canada. It really is sad how bad things can go in such a short time, I guess people have extremely short memories .

Getting some kind of award, the comedian Dave Chapelle said that "the 1st Amendment (freedom of speech and lawful assembly) is first because it is so important. And the 2nd Amendment is just in case the 1st amendment doesn't work out." Funny but also an acute observation.

[edge213]

WC, I feel for our Canadian brothers on this subject,
Unfortunately in the U.S. we have a bunch of Constitution hating democrats running for president that want the same kind of laws in America.

[treefarmer]

David, I'll 2nd that statement!
Can't imagine the logic that is behind the "anti 2nd Amendment movements"? What is the motivation?
