Look what I found...

[Guy Miner]

I was going through some old boxes in Dad's garage and found a taped up one with my name on it. I hadn't seen that stuff in 40 years or more. I remember this catalog, and spending time reading it, thinking about a collection of Marlins:

In those days we had only one Marlin, Dad's Mountie, the little 22 he used while teaching me to shoot. He still has that little rifle and shoots it still, in his 90's.

Fond memories of those good old days. At the time I was thinking about the future. Planning college, the Marines and more. Much of it happened more or less as planned. With a few side-trips and falls along the way.

Regards, Guy

Very cool. Sometimes it's good to take a step back in time.

That stuff is cool as heck Guy! Love them old Marlins and finding old stuff.

Always neat to find stuff from days gone by...

So, has this reignited the flame for a Marlin collection?

Very nice! Is your Dads Mountie listed in there? Those old periodicals are fun. I Have a 1974 Herters Catalog. Those were real "wish books". I think that's where I developed a "thing" for maple stocks on a rifle. Still don't have one...yet. CL
