Looking forward to a range report. And what sort of a freezer do you use to store dinosaur meat?

 

A Very BIG ONE!!!!

 

Sounds nice and can't wait to see the pictures.

 

Hey WorldShooter -- congrats on that Marlin from 1905. But, you know, I don't really believe you. (You know what we say - pics or it didn't happen. :biggrin: ) I'd LOVE to see some photos of that beauty when you get a chance.

 

Congratulations! Waiting for the evidence!

 

Didn't happen til you post the pictures.

 

'Nuff Said!

 

Congrats on your purchase ! The 45/90 is a great T-rex thumper, mine is in Winchester attire but only digests my big cast bullets,BH209 and Holy Black...Have fun and enjoy!

 

An original old 1895 Marlin has one of the slickest feeling actions Marlin ever built! The .45-90 is very desirable caliber in those guns, and always a great purchase!
My dinosaur gun is a Marlin Ballard in .44-100, which is actually a .452" bore, but Marlin decided to call it a .44 for some reason? 3" long case!

 

Third time here. Still no pictures! How am I supposed to know what that shootin iron looks like?

Congrats!

 

Hi Guys: I am traveling and on the road. I will try and post some pics when I get back. My schedule is very busy..... Some of us still have to work for a living...LOL

 

No pictures.

 

Right now 45-90 brass from Starline at less than a buck apiece. AC

 

Ok Guys: Here ya go. Like I said the wood was lightly sanded. But I was LQQKING for one of these for a long time..!!! Now where was that dinosaur last spotted..???

Oh, my! That is one beautiful rifle! Ya dun good!

 

Sounds and looks really cool.
Congratulations!!

 

Congrats! A fine 1895

 

Grail Gun. Please hire a professional photographer to document your next post in detail. A producer for the video will be great as well. Those old guns are really special. They reek of quality and history. I would sleep with it under the bed. Congratulations.

 

oops, sorry, I did not look at page

 

Wow, looks great. How many guys on your crew to help you fire that cannon?

 

Ain't that pretty! congrats and can't wait to see the dinosaur. grilled or broiled?

 

Thanks Guys: Yep I really have a passion for over 100 year old Marlins. This will be my ninth century mark + oldie!!! I try hard to stay away of duplicates in my collection but every now and then something pops up that I can't resist. That's how I ended up with two .32 Spcls, three 30-30's, two 32-40's and three 39A's.

Now somebody tell me what obscure caliber did Marlin make in modern lever actions that I might not know about. I know MM93 has all those old beautiful Ballards and I know I am definitely to broke to go that route...

 

Congrats

 

Very nice looking 1895!

 

Pics of the dinosaur or it didn't happen :tomato:

 

You need a 25-36 in the 1893 and 33WCF, 38-56, 40-65, 40-82, 45-70, 45-85 in the 1895

 

Hi CJ57: I knew you were going to come up with something. Let me say that I have them all!!! EXCEPT a 45-85..???? That caliber is really obscure. Do you know what years or year it was made? I can't find much info on it. In fact all my travels to Gun Shows and out of the way Gun Shops I have never ever even seen one.
