Very nice surprise today. An early fathers day gift from SIL Chris and daughter Lori. Chris called and said, "Come by the house, I have something for you to play with." What's new is a very nice Marlin 1895CB 45-70 the one with the 26" octagon barrel and the nine shot tube. (He knew I'd been looking and wishing for a while) Rifle has a matte receiver and nice blue on the barrel, wood to metal is a clean fit. Looks like the folks at Mid-South will be glad to hear from me come SSI payday as I'll be needing all the components. Brass, moulds and dies. I got great kids. Thanks Chris and Lori. Gp

Yup, take them along to the range and teach them to load and cast. Remind them that, one day, it will be theirs.
