Title: Well, it could be worse...
Post by: Blacktail Sniper on October 02, 2025, 01:33:26 PM: Just picked this up this morning from the Sheriff's Office in Kelso.

Was taken in a burglary of my place while was at work in 2011.

Going to see if I can bring it back to some level of functionality.

Thinking am going to have to just skip past WD40 and go with something a little stronger to start... :chuckle:

Post by: Blacktail Sniper on October 02, 2025, 01:59:52 PM: Yup, Marlin 25MN in .22 mag.

Had less than 2 boxes of rounds through it when somebody decided they needed it more than me.

Post by: Blacktail Sniper on October 02, 2025, 02:45:54 PM: Nope, no suspects ever identified.

My Win 70 in .30/06 that was taken at the same time is still out there somewhere in the world.

Hopefully it has been better taken of than this one was.
