Marlin 39a trapper $750, Winchester 9422 trapper $1200

What year is that Marlin?

Also I thought the TDS Trapper had a straight stock.

Typical Winchester 94 with a "Rick Lowe" sling

I was just checking on a sling yesterday for my nephew - Marlin 30/30 - Question - on recoil does the leather strap affect how it “kicks/recoil feels”? Thanks! Same sling I was thinking of for a gift.

It doesn't bother me but as you know "YMMV"

Yeah, I like lever guns. I got the bug quite a while ago. Here's some of mine...

That Henry Small Game Carbine is the cat's meow. Short, smooth, surgically accurate out to about 70 yards. Haven't shot it beyond that I don't think.

It definitely is. I want a Winchester 94/22 now. Also a Henry big boy case hardened.

Also the leather scabbard they use on horseback.

About an hour or so SW of OKC is a place called Gast Guns and Tack in Carnegie, OK. They have a big selection of horse tack with numerous scabbards. I’ve bought several lever action guns there as well over the years.

It’s my favorite right now.

Usually on the older original Marlins, you subtract the first two digits of the serial number from 2000 to get the year of manufacture, so that would be a 1975 model.

Nearly bought one in. 22 mag a few years ago. Really wish I had.
