Wonderful job, and the posts have been excellent. Feels like we've stepped back 100+ years. Image how exciting that must have been to save up those few extra dollars to make it into the gunsmith or the ole general store and ask for that Marlin with the beautiful case coloring.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
Thanks

I don't know about you guys, but it does my heart good to see a wonderful
old gun that has been abused for over one hundred years, put back to its former glory. If there's a history to the abuse, like it was picked up on the Custer Battlefield, or it was dropped by Jesse James in Northfield MN,
that's one thing. On the other hand, if it's from a kid trying his first checkering job, or a farmer just itching to try out his new hacksaw, or someone with a pipe wrench trying to get that dang takedown rifle apart,
that's another. When that's the case, I have no problems fixin' them up!
