Later bought out by Winchester. An older El Paso Weaver ? yes it has a older age correct weaver scope on it, and the scope is like brand new clear and all LOL which you don;t find often anymore! on these old one's! and it also has the original scope mounts made for it, they only made them with checkering for 4 yrs, 1936-1939 if memory is correct yet! and then her is another older shotgun, this is from I think about 1914, a Rem, model 10 ,, 12 ga bore Edited December 24, 2019 by mrbb 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrbb 103 Posted December 24, 2019 and another older shotgun LOL here is a nice pretty clean Ithaca Lefever grade A 12 ga as well from 1940 I think I have a bunch of pre war guns like these, just a few I have pic's handy last few yrs I think I sold about 50+ or so, all before the 1940 age mark and still selling some more LOL 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 7,611 Posted December 24, 2019 Winchester peaked in the late 50’s. Their 22’s (52, 61, 62, 63, 69, 72) from that era are unmatched. Remington 5-teens are nice too. So are the 12 and 121 pumps Marlin 39A is the nicest lever RF, IMHO. Anything made in the mid- 20th century beats the rough plastic and cheap designs of today.

mrbb 103 Posted December 24, 2019 Jeep, I can agree with you some of the older win's were pretty accurate rifles in .22's but I shot a few things better , all the more so when I get into the .22 mags my old Mossberg Chuckmaster 640 , was and is amazing for how old and how many rounds down the barrel, it out shoots all my newer one's as for lever guns, well, I have/had a few here are two I just let go of to a fellow down south( Louisiana) last month! one was a Old Marlin 336, (30/30)from 1949, second yr production and the other is a older Marlin 1889, from 1890, second yr gun as well never shot either to say how accurate they were however, but are classic guns in my eye's and I love aged wood on them, and all the more so, I knew the whole story on both of them, the 1889 was bought by a friends grandfather NEW< and he bought the 336 new himself in 1949 which to me adds value to things as honestly these days, these old guns, most times have been sold several times over, so finding them from original owners is getting hard to do!, or just finding the old owners still alive to tell the stories of them sorry not a great pic of the 30/30, but was pretty darn clean for the age! new owner is very happy with both of them and a shotgun he took off my hands as well a beretta 687 ultra light deluxe, also a low produced gun, but of modern times, or late 90's any how more likely one I rill regret letting go over a lot of the others I sold recently!

Love the older JM marked Marlins! well remington owns marlin now LOL and I sort of agree, but they both still do make some nice one 's yet very few gun makers still make guns of the same high quality bluing and wood as they used to in normal lines, now its all custom shop over priced , for what your getting as to what they did yrs back IMO! I'm just glad we don;t have boat loads of made in chine cheap junk flooding stores, like we do with all other sorts of things from ATV parts, to carbs to cheap knock off everything! so I can at least say I am glad the firearms were DO get from other places tends to be of GOOD quality! and hope it stays this way,!!

Macarena Man 168 Posted December 24, 2019 Some nice shootin' irons here guys! Have a pair of Savage 99's, and a pair of Winchester 94's . . . . These are Cooey firearms. Pair of Model 60's and a Model 75 (26" barrel) They're as Canadian as maple syrup! I think everyone owned one at one time. Decent shooters. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

01RUBY500 1,253 Posted January 3, 2020 Nice guns guy’s! I love the Browning Citori’s. I have 5 of them. I compete with most of them in Skeet, Trap & 5 stand. I have a Citori XT For Trap, a XS for skeet both in 12ga and a 725 sporting in 20 ga for skeet, 5 stand and sporting clays. For small bore competition I have a 28ga Citori 525 Upland Special that is number 22 of 100 total ever made. This is the prettiest gun of the bunch, it has 5 pheasants Total on the receiver all in gold. For upland hunting mostly pheasant I have a Lightning Feather 2 barrel set combo that has 20ga & 28ga barrels. The first picture is my Ruger 10-22 that I customized my self, the only thing that is from the original gun is the receiver. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The newer Rem versions of Marlins are looking and working fine. I don’t remember the dates now that Remington took over? But the ones from the last few years have been top notch. It was the first 6 months that Rem took over Marlin, where they had QC problems. The Marlin I have now, which is a 2018 model (I think), works better/smoother than the Marlin I bought 20 years ago!

LedFTed 1,127 Posted January 5, 2020 i got an H&R Topper 20 ga., full choke, when i was 14. a few years later my cousin convinced me it wernt worth much. he were like that.. i sold it to him for $20.oo. what a liar.. E got me again later, before i realized this.. we will never be even in this life.. business, aint just business.. i can hold a grudge. though that shotgun be a single shot, i still liked it. rabbits, 1 in the barrel, 2 in the hand. i been hunting with the Partner model, similar, though not quite. still a single shot 20ga. doves, i can get off two shots, score two doves, never got past the 3rd shot. always something strange going on, when i am involved, perhaps gremlins. i could not shoot a squirrel, with the Partner model. 4 shots to kill a red squirrel. i can not get this out of my memory. a red squirrel, on the side of a tree, bout eye level., fussing at me. the scull cap was missing. i could see the brains/brain., the 4rth., shot killed him. it was depressing, for me, no doubt for the squirrel. not the 1st. time.. something about that gun, and squirrel's.. that single shot, didnt fair well with rabbits. just leave some fur. i know ya think it was me. my other guns worked quite well though. i'm telling though, its some king of spirit thing.
