1892 Marlin 32 rimfire

Post by Cliff »

Well I had ordered a ejector from Jack First and had almost give up on them. The ladies at Jacks said they would email me when they recieved the part. I got the email and ordered the ejector about 5 days ago and got it in the mail yesterday.
It's nice to deal with these folks who do what they promise.
Just a little more stone work and I'll have it working right. This old 32 rimfire was converted to 32 s&w long years ago.Two grains of Uniqe and you've got a elephant gun.

Nice!
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

:Drool1: I'll bet thats as accurate as some of the best.22's. I love that round in a revolver, I can imagine what you would get from an old octagon Marlin. Buffalo bore maybe was making some hotter rounds, I think .32 L S&W was one of the calibers.

This little 32 is a really accurate, well for me anyway. These were my first 5 this morning. I shot this target at 25yds. I took some golf balls with me today. At 25yds these make a real fun target.

Millman, I looked my Marlin up on Brophy's site. They date it to 1902.120 years old and still shots straight.
