If you go to the actual Marlin website that model is not listed and the few that are all say "Currently not in production."

Based on what is selling these days the market for a bolt action tube magazine .22 rifle is not very big. It might only be you.

Bye bye bananas

The hammers on the Pioneer were very light. However the hammers were much further apart than on the TNN/Colt 1878 clone and harder to use the one hand sweep that T-Bone favored. So he did not really like the Pioneer.

That is a Pioneer. Had one. They were precision machined extremely high quality guns. Unfortunately they are no longer made and are very scarce on the used market. They were made in Poland.

Comin at Cha!
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to Red River Rudy, SASS #8490 LIFE's topic in SASS Wire
What made Comin at Cha so great was not only is T Bone a world class shooter he is a master entertainer. He really knows how to entertain a crowd. -
Did he REALLY say that??

Hopefully he will delete the video before the left latches onto it and make a new one without any reference to book bags. -

Disappointment using HP-38 for 44-40
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 replied to El Sobrante Kid's topic in SASS Wire
Yes you can tell felt recoil but that is not really telling you anything. Let us say you are using a 150 grain bullet with the "lowest" load of HP-38 and the muzzle velocity is 600 fps. Then you take the same 150 grain bullet with the "lowest" load of Titegroup but the muzzle velocity is 750 fps. Obviously the Titegroup load is going to have more felt recoil. You have not really demonstrated anything. You have not demonstrated a recoil difference between the two powders as the velocities are completely different. But as long as you are satisfied with your results that is all that counts. Post script: Lowest of what? Published data? Suggestions from the wire? -
97s should start with C. B’s were 1893s.

Depends on what you mean by “fire”. If you are talking about dry firing the forearm should not come back without pushing it forward as there is an inertia release in the forearm. If you are talking about live fire something is wrong.

Possum Skinner I think you have extended this thread by at least two more pages. -

It is impossible to make recoil comparisons without knowing the velocity. -

To make meaningful comparisons you need a chronograph. Do you have one? -
Are you talking about sports or Congress?

Where do you guys live where you can get a decent sandwich for $6.00? Prices around here have about doubled in the past four years. Lunches that cost me 12 to 15 dollars in 2020 now cost 25 to 30 dollars. I am shocked every time a waitress, opps sorry, service specialist, lays the bill on my table. I have no idea about the price of groceries as I do not cook. I eat all my meals out so I DO KNOW what those cost. The Dow was 177 in 1946. Now it is 42,000. P.S. In the mid 60s I was making .90 cents an hour. McDonalds burgers were .15 and cheese burgers were .17.

We use to do that at Winter Range. The match had a "theme" and then each stage had a story based on that theme. They were in the shooter's handbook but no one ever read them out loud. -
+1 to Fretless. I have used a shell holder on occassion but it does NOT hold the round tightly. The round can move around quite a bit. A collet grips the round and prevents movement. These impact bullet pullers have been around for decades. If they were a hazard that hazard would have showed up 50 years ago. The hazard is not following the directions and not using the proper parts in the puller. This one is from the 1950s.
