Mine is a 1953 Marlin 30/30 with the 24" barrel that I bought a few weeks ago.
It is a beauty!

WOW! You guys have some GREAT stuff ... Thank you for sharing. I've enjoyed this thread more than I have any thread in quite a while ... THIS is why I hang around OSA ...

(I have a series 80 Colt Gold Cup. Actually it's GC's gun, he just lets me pretend it's mine. It has had some work done to it ... I don't recall if we know who did the trigger work or not, but whomever it was, was a genius. That gun has the finest trigger I've ever felt ... Oh. My. ... GC is sorry he ever let me shoot it! LOL)
