Mojave Lever Crew - Roll Call!

[golfish]

Wife's in the hospital, you can bet the farm she'll call at 10am and tell me she's ready to come home either way I'll see you guys today.

Because .30-30 ~

1968 Marlin 336 Texan Carbine w/ saddle ring. 20" barrel.

[Preston-CLB]

I hate you Apples!

I really like that 2007 Marlin 1894FG (.41Magnum) 20"!
-P

[200Apples]

Preston, I feel you. In the vintage gas pressure lantern and stove collecting world when someone finds a minty! vintage piece and shares photos of the score with his forum colleagues, the cry is:

YOU SUCK!





And, thank you.

^ ^ ^ We did say, in the beginning, that "anything stoked with a lever..."... but...





And there's a thread up about that one, here.

Speaking of... How's she gettin' along?

That it is. While it's been hibernating, I've been out picking up food for it.

Bob! First time seeing pics of this one (although I did know of it's recent acquisition)... OUTSTANDING!

Nice grain on that stock, too.

MLC colleague splithoof's newest acquistion, a new Ruger Marlin 1895 Trapper! onto which he has mounted his own self a new XS Sights Systems Scout picatinny rail and the XS ghost ring rear sight and white line front post. Scope is a Burris (as explained in the photo).

That is one handy, dandy blaster.

I've never been a fan of the 73 but I sure can make an exception for that beauty..

Thanks for sharing

[pennstater]

That's a good looking lever gun there 'Hawk. Beauty!

MLC

[200Apples]

Sirs! Yes, sirs... I really really like that '73 in short rifle config.

[golfish]

So Chris, I know it's a late notice (all are invited) but a little birdy told me there's a meet up at Phillip's tomorrow at 11am and then lunch and refreshments afterwards....

[200Apples]

Is that so?! We'll see how we feel in the mornin'!

I'm listening to GMRS repeater comms from Redlands right now. That's about 60 miles away. I'm on a good GMRS HT. I can't get out, but I can hear.

:radio:

Scratch that. They're also on Channel 19 so it means they're more local, and tx'ing in simplex... I think that's how it works...

[pennstater]

Excellent! We can go to the same place, or....?

Alrighty then. We're in!

[Calif Hunter]

I have another appointment at Loma Linda VA tomorrow dammit. The head surgeon only has clinic on Wednesdays - he is teaching at Loma Linda University Med Center or having clinic there on other days. Of course, I don't go every Wednesday but this is the follow up after my hospitalization. My next appointment is the 15th, and I think that is when we will decide on a surgery date unless something happens tomorrow. He is going on a mission to Uganda the same week we are meeting my daughters and grandsons in Vegas ( the 18th through the 25th) so nothing will happen before then.

I'll give you an A+ on that assignment.

[golfish]

Hey Tom, Chis,

How bout Tuesday or Thursday

[pennstater]

Anytime next week is good. I'm liking our MLC watering hole; good eats, good cold beer and nice atmosphere. Low key place. My kinda joint!

MLC

[golfish]

Thursday is best for me. I don't think I'll have grandpa duty that day.

[pennstater]

Chris, Thursday good? What did you think of our lunch place today? It was certainly good to see you guys and enjoy the day.

At today's lowered price, I'm going to try to snag that one.

[200Apples]

'gratz Randall!


And to no one in particular...

A .357 lever action carbine is about the most fun long gun one can shoot.

These things at +/-$550 are one of the best firearms values left today.

[Calif Hunter]

If I didn't have medical bills, I would have jumped on that, A .357 lever gun is missing from my collection and this would have been great.

I already have a Winchester 1892 from the that was originally a 32-20 and was converted to 357 magnum probably sometime in the 60's.
It won't fit full length 357 mag cartridges through so it's more useful with 38's.
I'm not sure why I bought this Rossi other than it being too good of a deal to pass up so I'm going to use the fact it will fit factory 357 mag ammo as an excuse even though I will most likely shoot 38's in it too.

Tom, not sure about Chris but were set on Thursday. Rick's going to meet us at Shadow Mt Rd and then follow us out to our spot. We might have to blind fold him

[pennstater]

"...blind fold him".
Ought to be some interesting driving on Rick's part. Looking forward to it.

I'd call this one a success, I'm trying to keep my title of MLC CEO (Chief Enabler of Opportunities)!
