Re: marlin corner
Geoff, My father had a small collection of Winchesters and 1 Marlin, with our big family he couldn't afford many guns. with 6 kids our family has always had guns and hunted ,we hunted for meat not so much sport . I'm not sure about the collecting thing it might have been hereditary !!! ;D My Grandfather 12 generations back came to the new world in Governor Wentworths Fleet 1n 1629, he was the first surveyor general in the then new world , he was given 1000 acres in what is now Roxbury Mass. (yuk) and all the firearms of the colonists were kept at his home !!! Well so much for history, most of my relatives were smart enough to get out of Massachusetts!!!!!! I bought my own personal gun when i was 13 a old Winchester model 12 shotgun which i still have. I like all lever guns Winchesters, Marlins and Savages. I like any of the old square bolt Marlins but you dont see many around here, i have 42 Marlins, but i have over 100 Winchesters and over 100 Savages, seems i find more of them. If i have to say i guess i like the 1886 Winchesters in 45-90 best, but there very pricey!! maybe i will post a picture of my winchester wall,and savage wall, theres a few more that arent in these pictures, actually 4 of me savages are model 1895's which were made by Marlin.

Re: marlin corner
Hawlg, It took a hell of a lot of logs, and a bunch of gravel from my gravel pit, a few land sales and 45 years of collecting to get these. plus some dislocated and broken body parts !!!! ;D you might say this is my 401 K program theres over 400 guns in all . Hopefully when i decide to sell they will still be someone collecting them !!!!!!! : : Don

Re: marlin corner
Congratulations and thanks again.
Thanks for showing us, Don. It helps to know that someone has more than I have (and I can show my wife). I have been collecting for nearly 40 years but I have only a bit over 150 including about 20 Marlins. Unfortunately, I have never seen all of mine at one time. My house is not big enough to keep them at home so they are scattered about the state in friend and relatives safes. But you guys are not interested in that.loggah said:Mike,Thanks !! but as you might understand sometimes i'm a bit strapped for cash !!! seems its all invested somewhere !
