Finally.
These are the images of it from Gun Broker.com site.
I'm thinking Lyman peep and MVA tang.
Woo-hoo.....

Thanks guys!
Yes I had skimmed threads in .38-55 forum, good resource!
Ream the throat? :ahhhhh:Say it ain't so, I'm just wrapping my head around slugging the bore. And re-loading with its concomitant tooling requirements.
Glad the receivers not yet been drilled. Like to find a real old-time peep for it. Or maybe just the tang sight for now leaving the receiver un-adulterated?
Like this say.....

Delivery was taken and indeed it has the "JM" stamp on the barrel. :biggrin:

Has a Marlin CB 38-55 ever been made that did not have a JM barrel? Is Remington making CB's now?

I did inquire on these here forums and was assured that no Marlin CB rifle had been produced since Remington had become the parent company.

So it was on that advice I bought the gun that I did even though it was not stated in the GunBroker ad that it was a "JM" marked gun and no images in said ad showed a "JM" mark.

While waiting for the piece to arrive there was a thread on these boards about a Cabela's Special that I took from the conversation to be a CB "Remlin".

I may have interpreted that incorrectly, but I was holding my breath until my gun arrived.

Anyways, the point is, for me anyhow, moot now.

So mine doesn't have "COWBOY" stamped on the barrel. Which is ok, be nice if the warning wasn't there either but I thought all C/B's were stamped as such?

 

[twopass]

Yeah you're right mine has C/B too. :shot: Been looking at too many others on-line that got the whole word stamped in 'em.

Ding ding ding ding.............whooo hoo!

What can I say, I likes smooth uncheckered wood with a touch of tiger striping and 24" octagon barrels....so stoked! Yee freakin' ha......!

Micro or Ballard bring it on!
