Morning all. All new HVAC Hybrid system installation starting today.

No known story. My brother and his wife seemed to come by it when his mother in law moved in with them for a while. When she moved back out west, she didn’t want it and left it there. It looks like someone started to restore it but had very little skill and just rough sanded the stock. I’ve already found info on how to modify Marlin 25 mags to work in it. I’ll need to find or modify a front sight for it then it will just get cleaned up a bit. The stock is really, really rough but the metal is not too bad. It’s a first type of Marlin A1, which puts it somewhere between 1936 and 1940. I imagine some kid shot the snot of out this one back in the day.

That sounds very cool. I’m excited to see what you do with it!

Morning folks… Worked in the garden with my lady last night for about 6 hours after work… She decided she wanted to expand, so it went from about 12x12 to 30x30. Cleaned up some weeds after tilling and realized the tiller missed some spots, so I had quite a bit of hand tilling to do and lots of raking… worked muscles I didn’t know I had. Sore this morning, but loosening up. Coffee will help. We are trying corn this year so I’m excited to watch that grow.

The raccoons will appreciate your efforts.

Master Raccoon states "...I wanna thank the academy for planting this corn for us..."

 

[RustyHornet]

The raccoons will appreciate your efforts.

I’ll hang the first one up in the entryway to the backyard… Old school style. The next will be quartered. The tar and feather didn’t work.

You're a hard worker, Rusty!

Put the heads on stakes around the garden, sends a message.

Morning everyone, prayers for bcannan and his family. Sad situation. I'm sure he knows that we're all thinking of him.

If the rifling in the barrel is o.k., then refinishing this rifle is well worth the effort. If not, by the time you invest in installing a new barrel and the rest of the restoration, you might have been better off using this rifle to get some quick cash at the next gun buy back and applying it toward something newer.

FWIW, I inherited an old Marlin bolt action, single shot from my FIL. Rifling was awesome, but the stock and part of the barrel was covered in old shellac. My goal was to refinish the rifle, install a rear peep sight and a front globe sight. However, another INGO member was looking for just such a rifle and I sold it to him before starting my project.

A year later, he no longer had a need for the rifle and I bought it back. He had stripped the old shellac from the stock and refinished it with a nice oil finish, added a rear peep sight, and a front globe sight ... all the things I had intended to do with the rifle. The rifle is a tack driver.

I'm sure the same will be true of your rifle if the barrel is in good shape.

Good morning!
Rainy day today here. May have to start an indoor project today.

Although I mostly just read this thread, I'm always saddened to hear of misfortune among you merry band of brothers. Prayers sent.

In the spirit of this thread, I offer CZ:

- 22 Hornet. Longest varmint laid to rest at 240 yards.

Had seen the same varmint at the same spot on the pond for three consecutive mornings, where it would see me first and take off. So I layed my plan the day before by placing a target at that spot and shooting for drop, which appeared to be 18" at 240 yds. I lined up my truck where I could walk out the front of the house and sneak up behind the truck. Worked like a charm with the rear corner of the truck as my rest.

This is a long-eye-relief Nikon Omega 3x9 scope, which helps get proper eye relief on some rifles. Decent glass too. Pics aren't that great.

Morning. Seems I missed some news yesterday. I'm still trying to get a hang of a thread like this.

BC will be in our prayers for sure. I can't imagine.

Bout the time I whacked an ass panda off the bird feeder. That's 5 or 6 in 2 weeks.
