If you study the firearm industry and our history, what we find is that shotguns garner the love of it's owner. People will tell you about the " love " for the gun and not necessarily the gauge. Shotguns are basically so much weight of shot of a certain size chocked to form a certain pattern. We grew up understanding the logic and still accept it today.

When it comes to rifles and handguns, we get the expert syndrome forced upon us by marketing where we tend to lose the logic of launching a certain weight projectile at a certain velocity level to produce a result. And what we see are arguments of the superiority of a certain caliber over another where the whole game maybe an inch or two of trajectory over the other slug with no MEANINGFUL difference in bullet weight. WE focus on details instead of the BIG picture. As a result, the quality of our experience and our own history with the firearm becomes lost over time.

Simply put, there is no pride of ownership.

If your 30/30 is anything like my 1950 edition 35 Remington, it may just alter your perception of how " YOU " look and .... value everything else that you own.

Congratulations.

You stole it.

I'm sure you'll give it a good home. Proper care and feeding, check-ups, annual shots, ect...

What digi serial number? I think mines a real low 4.

My 1950 35 Rem has the same digits as my PO box. How about that.

... you'll get another one someday. There's lots of them to be had and most all are special, in my eyes anyway.

I've had to sell some real nice Winchesters in the past. Funny thing is I don't miss em' and I like the old marlins more. Don't know why.

Well, I have had Win94'2sin the past, and I just aquired another in a trade. And, while I like them immensely, if I had to choose between the two, I believe I would Choose Marlin.

I have a good story for you. When I was dating my ex-wife we decided to go up to northern British Columbia and meet the future in laws. Well the future father-in-law was an outdoors man and he was out of 30-06 ammo so he sent me in to town to pick some up for him so we could go out quading (trikes then). He gave me the directions to get to the hardware/sporting goods store (very small town) and off I went. I go into the store get the ammo and as I am leaving I am just looking around as I leave the door something grabs my eye in the corner glass display case. I return and notice there are 5 handguns in the corner of the case and the one farthest over is a 1911.
Well I ask to see the 1911, it looks old and some of the finish warn off near the muzzle and when I turn it over and look at the slide I just about jumped out of my boots. It has just a US & S on the slide. A union switch and signal 1911 in original finish and the frame and the slide are correct and even the mag is correct. I haggled the owner a bit and seeing as it has been in the display case for nearly 3 years he excepted my offer and stated the paper work. 3 weeks later it was in my hands and after carefully detail stripping and cleaning it is all 100% original. Guess what I paid. $125.00

( my brass biz has been very slow. i have paid my bills every month fot the last 6-7, but the dec bills due the 15, was the first time i was short. so not only am i trying to sell this rifle , i had to sell a couple of my guns too.....and i hate selling my guns. i used to sell 100,000 pcs of 45acp per month, betwen wholesale and retail, now i'm lucky to get 20,000 incomming. i certainly hope the recession is over.)

[mike in co]

gentlemen,
i succumbed to temptation.
this rifle was sold today, the investment returned to my budget, but the excess was handed to a genntleman with a finn 28..and the 28 went home with me.

the story jumps forums.....mil rifles.
