Yesterday I stopped by my gun shop to pick up an old 1939 Winchester model 24 side by side shotgun I had on layaway.
While I'll was waiting on my nicks check I spotted a few Marlins and Winchesters being put out on the rack!
I started drooling after I spotted a Marlin Cowboy LTD in 45 Colt! The 24-inch octagon barrel was calling my name!
After a quick search on my phone, it was a first year 1996 Cowboy LTD in 45 Colt.
Now a few weeks back I picked up a Colt SAA in 45 Colt!
I like to have a rifle and revolver in the same caliber.
This one was in about 95 to 97% condition! It has a scope base on it that will be remove for a peep sight.
I'll remove the push button safety and replace this with the blue saddle ring filler from Beartooth Mercantile.
I've noticed that the bluing is not near as nice as my 1954 Texan! A little more finishing work would have been nice.
This will be my first Marlin with checkering on the stock. I usually like smooth stock. It appears to be done well.
The lands and groves are perfect! No wear on any friction points whatsoever. Including the hammer.
Very minimally shot if at all! So long story short, I put it on a 60-day hold, 20% down
The Cowboy looks like it was made yesterday! They wanted $1.050.00. I will have to sell of something to afford it.
Marlinitus strikes again! Oh well life is short!
Good afternoon gentleman.
