I got a NIB 38/55 marlin CB.
The buttstock has a small crack. I got a replacement stock.
I bought it as an investment……….I was told it was in perfect condition.
I couldn’t return it to seller. But I got some cash back for damages.
I would like it to go down the road to someone who wants it.
I don’t.
I had one of the CBs in 45/70 for a few years in my early 20s. It was a sharp looking rifle, but between the straight grip stock and hard buttplate the recoil was flat out nasty in that cartridge. I imagine the 38-55 would be a lot more pleasant shooter.
That 45-70 and a compact 308 Norma Mag I had around the same period instilled a flinch in me I still fight to this day. The stupidity of youth... ow, that hurt... let's shoot it again. 😂
