Like many, I suspect, I came here looking for an answer to a Marlin question. Like many, I also suspect, I got drawn into the wealth of information here and the graciousness of those whose experience make this site such a joy. I've now spent (over several weeks) almost 13 hours here and decided it was time to introduce myself.
I was born and raised in SW Missouri and got transplanted here in Georgia 35 years ago. I still consider myself a visitor to the South and I guess I always will - even though I have lived here far longer than I have lived anywhere.
I developed an interest in Marlins through my interest in collecting Winchester 94s. Every time I would go sniffing around a pawn shop in search of a Winchester, I would notice Marlin lever-actions. So I decided to learn about them. About two months ago I bought one used to see what they were all about. That was all it took. Now I have three (all 336's).
I'm an information junkie - I read all the Gunsmithing threads and am working my way through the 336 threads. This site is like having your own personal gunsmith who is willing to answer any question you can come up with. Hopefully, at some point, I'll be able to give something back.
