Dag nab it, dang hang it! What's the world comin' to? Altho I prefer my 1866 or 1892 fer Cowboy shootin, I'v had perhaps half a dozen Marlins/Glenfields over the years and they've ALL been solid performers! (I still own 2; a Golden 39A Mountie and I fergit the model #, a mod. 60 I think, but it's one of the .22 semi-autos) And I started this CAS thing with a 44 Mag '94 Trapper which was a great gun and tons-O-fun!
