Gunner this was Karma. Good in this case. I would like to buy an old ballard rifled JM Marlin. But that means I would have to trudge my way through the gun show aisles until I could find one. 22years working in the prison system here in Misery has soured me for being in the general public. Sometimes I just go to the basement and shoot a bunch of pellets and the feeling of wanting to be in public vanishes. I come up with a good smile on my face. Same smile I get when I think of the old JMs. It would be good to play with the 35 though. I like the medium bores. The ones that kill like crazy but without all the snort of an ouch and ouch. Just an old 35 Remmy, 356 or 358 Winchester, 375 Winchester…………………..

Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. Winston Churchill.
