Went to a VERY small gun show today and it was full of all the black rifles, pink and orange pistols and all the over priced ammo you could afford along with phony jewelry. After about 45 minutes I had enough and was leaving when a guy walked in the front door with a lever action Marlin. I asked him if he cared if I looked at it while the police lady was putting a zip tie on it. He said sure and it was for trade or sale. It was a Glenfield 30 50yr anniversary gun in absolutely pristine condition except for where some previous owner had taken a small engraver and scratched his name and SS# on the receiver. Not very deep but there never the less. I asked him what his bottom line was and he said he had this and that in the gun and it was in great shape, bla bla bla. I asked him if he would take $400 for it and he said he would have to think about it. While he was thinking I laid 4 $100 bills on the police lady's table and he took it. It is not marked " Micro Groove" but it is and it is a '69 gun.Attachment 314247Attachment 314248Attachment 314249
So what to do? Make a 38-55 , 35-30, or just shoot it like it is ? Bore is perfect and I have a Skinner sight set for it (Thanks Andy).
