What I cant understand is buying one in person.
Inspecting it for fit, finish and function of very detectable issues or potential problems and then bitching about it after the fact.

Do people buy the 1st one they see a worker brings out.
Or do they ask if their are 2, 3 or 4 they can inspect and pick out the best one.

This kinda goes for any firearm purchase.
I know I'm leary as heck of buying the last one of anything.
Espeically a display gun, that everyone has played with.

I would find another place that has several to pick from.



Aside from that.

I dont dig crossbolt safety lever guns .
So buying a new marlin aint a factor to me.
And anything I buy I wanna check out in depth.

Everyone has heard the stories of game animals lives being saved by crossbolt safety guns.

Heck.... even heard em on here at times.



It's pretty darn simple to disable the crossbolt safety. Even a cave man could do it.
