A few years back when I was out searching for a 30-30 I came across one a friend who owns a pawn and gun shop was holding for me. She said she knew I would come in at some point and would rather me have it than somebody who might not take care of it so she had kept it in the back for almost a month before I drifted through to find it. It is a Marlin whose serial numbers put it in the early '50's and the bore on it is pristine, and the outside is only slightly less than perfect. The old gentleman who had sold it to her had also given her the last three rounds of the original (and only) box of ammo he had purchased for it when it was brand spankin new. I got the gun for a song, and intend to take a deer with it this year come heck or high water.

Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun. - Ecclesiastes 8:15 KJV
"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
