1907 Marlin 94 25-20

[MacEntyre]

Got this from a CFF Member last week. Shot it today two shots at steel 120 yards, iron sights.

I think this is why @Jeppo doesn't like me very much... not certain, but it could be.

I couldn’t see it at that distance let alone hit it With irons

I was sorely tempted to snap that up, but I don't reload and figured that would be almost a necessity for this one. Nice grab!

That was soooo tempting. I'm glad it went to a great home.

Cold1, turns out it has the original buttstock, numbered to the gun. That means it is a Deluxe, ordered with checkering. The dark blotches are ink, easily removed when I re-oil the stock. Someone did a good job inlaying the diamond, but I dunno why they didn't put one on both sides. The story is that it was won in a poker game... I might make up some more details.

It used to have a tang peep sight, and after that was removed and the wrong screws installed in the tang, someone put a Marbles rear sight on it. I plan to put another tang peep on it. The front sight is unusual... I held the aperture as a half-moon in the rear buckhorn, target on the front sight bead. I needed to hold it a wee bit higher!

Incredible that, from that distance and with those sights…

I hit his other thumb...

Nah, I can forgive your ugly thumb. 😇

 

[MacEntyre]

T'ain't my thumb in that picture... it's Robert, from Winston-Salem. He is a Levergun Scoundrel.

 

[beeleafs]

That is some good shooting! So glad it ended up in a good home...

 

[Dave951]

Sooooo, fess up. Was that shot offhand or a bench?

 

[MacEntyre]

bench, off me own elbows

 

[Average Joe]

Some fine shooting there.
