    Outstanding on collecting venison and rifle restoration! I have a friend that has a Model 64 rebored by JES to .375-55 and he told me a few weeks back he was thinking about selling and now I want it! I don't need it, I don't need it, I don't need it....maybe I can talk myself out of buying.

    But Then Again you may need it & are mistaken about not needing it. Maybe ponder in the other direction, might make a fine Tool, & tools are Necessary.

    I feel the urge, nice job on the rework. I just got a 375 94 XTR, then the brass and RCBS dies, some jacketed bullets and a 250g plain base mold. So the big bore found a new home. Nice older Win.

    I bought a 30A Glenfield a few years ago. It was in decent shape but a little wear on the wood. It was in Sporting Carbine configureation (20" barrel, half-magazine). I had JES bore it to 38-55. It was already the slickest, smoothest, best trigger I had ever seen on a Marlin, and now it is my favorite next to my '50 .35 336AD. I've got Lyman and Lee moulds for it so I can shoot gas-checks or not. I've sighted it for 255 gr Barnes J-words right now, over a stiff dose of 3031, but it seems to shoot well with about anything. I retired last fall, but had ticker problems through the spring. I'm looking forward to getting in the woods with it this year.

    I'm just waiting for my buddy to set a price and don't want to appear too anxious! I think he's found something he wants so it shouldn't be much longer....hopefully.

    Hope you can get it, JDL. You'll love it. I'm with Alan with that Barnes 255 grain .38-55 bullet. Just perfection. I've been looking and can not find any anywhere. Hope they come back in production.

    I recently purchased a 94AE 30-30 to send to JES but have not had time to ship it Ordered brass, molds & dies all ready to go except we've been working on our church replacing termite damaged flooring & it's a slow go just two of us. Really looking forward to getting it shipped, converted & back home. I have a great wife, she actually encourages me to take on gun projects.
