  My 1893 is in 32-40. I bought it about 1965 in Vermont. Interesting point here......when I
  removed the steel butt plate, there was a small piece of parchment under it with a man's name
  printed on it. ...

  I have a beautiful Marlin 1893 (built in 1902) in prime contition that I have owned since the
  mid 60's. I am maintaining it, in the same condition as when I purchased it so long ago. My

  replace th...

  I have recently purchased a new Weatherby Vanguard in .223. A friend asked if I was going to
  break-in the barrel. Honestly, I didn't give it much thought, although I have read articles on
  the subject ...

  Thanks to all for the valuable information. I have narrowed the choices for all the after

  That's good information and I'm inclined to go in that direction rather than the drop in

  They are truly a beautiful rifle. It's a shame that the pitting and corrosion is so rampant on

  It's finally time to get moving on customizing my 10/22. The barrels and stocks available are
