Default Marlin 1892 All finished

The rifle is finished,might give the stock some more Tru-Oil,if we get a sunny day this week

Used Blue wonder blueing, and am well chuffed with the results

Ive got the Marlin Rifle Bug now big stlle,so am trawling the net looking for one with a good bore, but with everything else tatty

Cheers Bernie

When - About ten minutes after the neighbours got home!

Where - Over the garden fence!

Who knows when we'll see Bernie being tracked by Mears on Sky news next?

Thanks Jonny

Around the Late 1900's, the model was made up to 1912,its really a big varmint rifle,.30 cal so good for raccoon squirely,ground hogs,coyote Ect,not a deer rifle

The one i'm looking for now is a Marlin 32-40, a very accurate and good deer stopper

The serial No on this one, shows date of manufacture as 1896,so its 114 years old and the action works as if its just come out of the factory,and the bore is in perfect condition,with no signs of were.

Am in the process of trying to obtain a collector's firearms licence,so i can make the ammo for it and shoot it on ranges
