Gun shop closing

The wife and I went to one of our favorite small gunshops yesterday. We found out he was closing and had marked down
some of the inventory. I was looking at the 22 ammo when I heard my wife ask, how much for the Golden Boy. Then I heard
I'll take it. After we paid out she asked me if I saw anything I was interested in. I said I'd like to have the Marlin mod. 94 in
32-20. The rear sight was broken and the stock had a very old major repair. The X-owner had stuck his initial on the stock.
It was made in 1898 so I think I'll leave it just like it is. For it to be as old as it is, it shows very little wear. The checkering
on the hammer is still sharp. I checked it out after a clean up and it worked the shells like it should. Got to go test it today.
Here is a pic or our new rifles. +dhic. Cliff

I think I found some brass for that just the other day, a legacy from a closed down gunstore/reloading shop inventory that I bought out a decade ago. I gave the guy 500 cash for the remaining goods that did not include any firearms and since then selling one item at a time here and there I made over 8 large. A lot of reloading equipment that was surplus to my needs, components, parts, ammo, I still have a lot of stuff left. You should wait until the final days and see if the shop owner will entertain offers to buy out the lot.
