OK guys, I have the general background. Marlin No. (Model) 24 12 gauge shotgun. I believe it was made between 1909-1910. The barrel is about 19 inches, so I assume somebody shaved her down a little?...

LOL! I know Bud, I know. Good thing she's a sport, and is learning to like guns. If I could find her a gold and silver filigreed .38 or .22, semi auto, she'd be in heaven!

Synical, here's a bit of...

Thanks budman, I am 100% positive it's a true, pure No. 5. I'd just like more HISTORICAL information about it. I like building little files about my stuff, and I've found that people on here tend to...

What makes you think it's the No.3?

Really now? We've got a bit of a hog problem around here as well. That's interesting.

I've been shooting some '65 Kynoch I bought for $20. 50 rounds with...

They will eventually.
LOL! I just try to pick stuff up here and there. But I do love it!
Hmmm, well, I had the ability or time to do reloads, I would probably try those. = /

Apparently! LOL!

Hmmm, I'll look into that. Walmart, Home Depot, or a specialty shop?

LOL! I wish I could take the credit, but a friend of mine spotted it first. Took us looking at the picture though. The lighting made it easier to spot.

I know! It's lovely! LOL! Though my girlfriend thinks I'm crazy. The kick left me with a pretty good bruise on my shoulder! That rubber butt pad isn't as soft as she was meant to be! LOL!

I would if I knew how. Is there a good way to do it without sanding it?

It is! It has the lightning cuts, the hollowed bolt knob, and VERY faintly on the receiver it says MK1 ROF. LOL! I don't buy...

No, it's a Jinsen type 38, made somewhere between '39 and '40. Turns out there's a very, very faded star on it. If you look in the second picture next to the 6, it's barely, BARELY visible.

Enfield No5 Jungle Carbine

I've been watching this gun for about 6 months, and finally just decided I'd buy her. She only has a couple defects (except for some numbnut that put a lacquer on the wood). The bayonet mount has...

Arisaka 38, Unknown Further

I recently inherited an Arisaka Type 38. Past that, that is all I know. It never had the mum, which I found odd. It is very old, from what I can tell. The serial is worn, but I think it's 6386. The...

Thank you alsaqr. I didn't know that! Would you try to find the/a dust cover, or would you leave it as is?

Thank you Charlie. Do you think I should try to replace the dust cover, or leave as is?
LOL! If I shoot it, it will only be once or twice, just to ensure it works. I just love having the history!...

Thank you Rufus! You wouldn't have thought so when I found it. Whoever had it before didn't appreciate what they had. But when I saw the mum, I knew I had to have it! I bought it for $90, it looked...

Arisaka Type 99

I recently picked up a Arisaka Type 99 at auction. To me, it looks almost perfect. Granted, it's seen it's share of rough times, but I love it. From research I've done, it was made at the Toyo Kogyo...

All I can say is, if it's your grandfather's, then keep it. I would give my left leg to have something like that of my great grandfathers. That's family history you can never, ever replace.
