This thread is over 2 years old.
I'm wondering if Rough N Ready Rob was able to get his problem solved.

Walter & Leroy got ambushed by a couple Coyotes a few months back.
Walter quickly grabbed the phone and starting dialing for help.
Leroy said: "Quack, quack, quack"..... (who you calling?)
Walter said: "Quack, quack, quack"..... (I'm dialing 9-1-1 for the Police.)
Leroy said: "Quack, quack, quack"..... (Tell em some varmints are stealing the Donuts. They'll get here quicker)
When Walter hung up the phone, Leroy ask: "Quack, quack, quack"..... (well, what did the Police say)
Walter said: "Quack, quack, quack"..... (sorri, we don't respond to Quack callers)
Those 2 crazy ducks never cease to amaze me.

Well, now you fellers know why I DON'T bet on sporting games, especially football.
I was hoping the Falcons would take home the prize but just let it slip away.
Congrats to the Patriots and all their fans.
Its a 60 minute game..... and the Falcons showed up to only play 45.

Naw, that ain't it at all.
Actually, skunks don't smell at all!
The MSM just made that up to conceal the fact it was the smell of pollytishons!
Trust me. I read it on the internet.
I guess I owe all the skunks an apology......

In the end, they get boiled and the silk is pulled off the cocoon. It takes about 30,000 cocoons to make one silk jacket.
Why would a silkworm want to wear a silk jacket?

Pretty much.
Unless you're on vacation and then those Mondays and last hours of the weekend last about 10 minutes.

when a skunk gets run over and lies dead in the road, you only smell it after you drive by.
You never pick up the scent until you drive past the skunk.
BUT, when you drive back by it again from the other direction, you only smell it again after you drive by it.
WHY don't we ever smell the skunk on the 'approach', no matter the direction of the approach?

my new toy is a SIG P220 in 10mm. I think its called the 'Match Elite'.
Anyhow, I want to dress it up with either a good 'on top of the slide' reflex sight with maybe a Leupold Delta Point or attach a good rail attachment light/green laser gizmo like a Veridian unit.
Any experience with these?
The pistol will mainly be used for some close range Coyote's (day and night) and possibly some close range (under 40 yards) groundhogs.
p.s. - I leaning towards the Veridian rail attachment light/green laser gizmo.

When I worked for Civil Service, I had a terrific boss, who was actually Director, Civil Service.
But she also knew that I would make up a bunch of stuff to tell everyone, as though she said it. I think she thought it was kinda funny and added a little flavor to the office.
Anyhow, anytime I had to go to her office about anything, I would sometimes walk out of her office going backdown a hallway to my office and I would loudly tell everyone..... "Vicki says there won't be any pay raises until morale improves".

Wait till someone brags on how well your fried seafood tastes and you explain that Mountain Oysters do not come from the ocean.
now that is a classic.
And I can hear someone asking..... "where did you get the Mtn Oysters"?

I wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous retirement.

Mgmt never understands and at oft times, looks down their noses at US working class folks.
Like one Christmas, our office had a party where everyone brought a dish from home with a favorite 'recipe'.
Well, I happen to have an ole oriental recipe that I thought would really enlighten everyones holiday spirits.
During the luncheon, a couple folks enquired as to the flavorful dish I brought from home and I told them it was...'Tennessee Long Tail Rabbit'.
They said..... "Tennessee Long Tail Rabbit. Never heard of it".
I looked at them and said..... "CAT".
They just don't have a sense of humor.....

Ignore all you want..... But Calico Mary is still looking for a new Bunkhouse location, probably in the Southeast, Ohio or Indiana.

To expand on my original question, can the out of battery firing damage the rifle or cause the bolt to move/eject aft out of the receiver? With the block not in place that would only leave the lever holding things in.
An 'out of battery' is a VERY RARE occurrence in an 1894 Marlin. And allow me to explain why.
First of all, when the lever is moved downward to cock the hammer (and eject empties and feed a new live round), the lever actually moves the firing pin rearward. So there is no part of the firing pin extending thru the firing pin hole.
If the trigger can be activated and cause the hammer to start dropping while the action is open, the hammer will do one of two things:
1. it will either pop up in under the bolt into the recess and cause the action to lock up until the hammer is manually recocked.
2. OR, your Half-Cock notch should catch your hammer during its fall, preventing it from hitting the FP. If you fully close your action, you will have to manually cock the hammer before firing.
AND, if you continue to use the factory firing pin system, your bolt locking lug HAS to be in its upward position in order to align the rear section of the firing pin with the front section before the firing pin can strike the primer.
I ain't saying that it can't happen, but in the 12 years of my SASS/CAS involvement, I have never seen a Marlin 1894 have an Out Of Battery. And from the Marlin's I have seen, over 75-80% of them have had 1-piece firing pins installed AND have also had the 'lever-trigger' safety bar removed or neutralized.
Hope some of this info helps.

Howdy Pat.
Are those 3 days the time spent making their cocoon?

I think they do when they are in the cocoon building phase.
but after that, your guess is as good as mine.

I didn't know they 'dated' when you were in High School.
I thought you 'courted' back then.....

Looks like I am the oddball of the group. 160 RNFP in my vaqueros and Marlin 1894.
But you have a 'special' rifle.....

No need to apologize. Its winter time and these type thread help warm our blood and 'jaw' a little.
Besides, now everyone knows that Rye is cheap and eats butterless popcorn.....
p.s. - I use to shoot Ruger .45's in 7.5" barrels. TERRIBLE.
Then switched to shooting the C45S in Sheriff model Vaqueros for about 4 years.
Then last summer, I switched to shooting Ruger Vaq. in .32 H&R, along with my Marlin 1894 in .32 H&R.
Love the combination.

Where have they gone

Wouldn't it be funny if some of these folks that have been missed were somehow put on
the 'Ignore' list by some Pards in the past and then forgotten about.....
And now, after a few years, some are wondering what really happened to them........when all along,
they've been right here with us.....
