Marlin 1895 Dark Series The anatomy of a dragon slayer

05/03/2020 Audio Prologue: The Marlin 1895 Dark reminds me of my once favorite heavy hitter, a Mauser bolt action with a hog’s back full stock, a 20.5″ Douglas barrel and chambered for the 375 Ruger. It was a world class ass kicker on both ends that never left me under gunned in any circumstance. Both…

Summertime 45-70 Gov’t Handload Tuneup +P loads for the Marlin Model 1895 Guide Gun

I like machines. They have no attitudes, they have no agendas and how they perform and react is always logical.

Winchester’s Model 1886 Short Rifle in 45-90 Winchester Part II If you don't have data, develop your own

Mowing the lawn puts one into a contemplative frame of mind. I don’t know why.
