Almost fourteen years ago, I had retired from my career job and worked for a year or so trouble shooting and putting out fires for a large company. A friend asked me to keep an eye out for a pawn shop that might be for sale. Found it, deal made. Helped friend keep an eye on things as he had another business to run. The store had in stock at the time of the purchase a Model 12 20 ga. modified field grade and a 1894 in .25-35. Both were made in 1937, the year I was born, and in nice condition. I could have bought them for $225 each. Friend was struggling to get the business up and running, and I felt he needed to get the marked prices for his own good. Life's regrets. I should have just doubled his generous offer and took both. 20/20 hindsight. A re barrel on one of my Marlins will likely cost more. jack
Ooooohhh...Bummer!
