For one thing it's cheaper to load .38sp ammo than .357. Loading a .38sp to a particular OAL is not a hard thing to accomplish and if you get them to cycle just fine in the Marlin chambered for .357 why not save money and time by not fiddling with the magazine spring. The fact that you need to have 10 in the magazine and the rifle with no round chambered would preclude you from using this Marlin rifle in .357 for CAS. With .38sp being cheaper to load and fitting 10 in the Marlin magazine I don't see any reason not to use .38sp in the rifle. Now if you are a really stickler for historical accuracy and being "true to the caliber" then by all means don't buy this Marlin. You'd be better suited to buy a 24" Marlin of something like a 1873 chambered in .357 that has at least a 10 round .357 mag capacity....it's your money, spend it like you want. Kajun

Well you "might" be able to get 10 .357s in the mag tube if you trim the mag spring a little bit....I wouldn't do this unless you have a spare mag spring handy in case it does not work. . I've heard that Marlins are OAL sensitive so I'm not sure how smooth they would be. Fact is you should be able to get 10 .38sp in the mag tube ok without spring modification....you'd just have to try it....and see how the rifle would cycle them. Kajun

I really ain't supposed to be telling this but ole Badlands Bob just received a large shipment from VoodooHut.com and fowlpartsandpieces.net. He was mumbling something about them folks at the TN state match will "love him long time" after that match is over. Like Widder says "Hey, you just can't make this kind of stuff up," Kajun

Quick question....the Molly buckles you are ordering....who will get the Molly buckles? Category winners only, State Champions only ? Kajun

I'm purt shore ole TW knows how to spell nein nein.....I'm sure he hears that a lot. Kajun

I just got off the phone with Mr. Ray and he assured me that he has now stocked the pond at my lakefront camping spot. If you anything about that location I don't know if I would want to keep any "fish" that come from the lake. Kajun

The 2024 EOT Overall results are posted on their website here https://endoftrail.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/2024-Match-Final-Total-Time-Main-Match.pdf Kajun

Buzzards huh.....now it all makes sense. I see a bunch of fowl circling TW everyplace he goes....and few winged critters too. Kajun

Yet another piece of fine furniture masquerading as a gun cart.....well done Yul. Kajun

Is he taking reservations yet? Kajun

TKD, you know what a Glock fanboy ole @LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L is. I'm sure he'd be interesting in those Glock purdies. Kajun

....and tell them the old man will be providing his secret lube for their competition 97s too...what a guy! Kajun

We are at 74 shooters registered and are getting registrations fairly regularly. Our camping spaces are going pretty fast so if you plan on shooting our match and camp you really should get your applications in pretty soon so you can reserved a camp site. You can find all of the information on our state match. at https://www.srscowboy.com/events.html. Kajun

Dang....now the price for @Scarlett autograph just went up! Kajun

Lemon Oreo cookies to be exact...boy were they good. And we appreciate Brisket making them available.......she's a keeper Bob. Kajun

....and if you are really nice and Mr. Ray likes you he might just give you a lakefront camping spot like he did for me one year. Kajun

Looks just like Brisket with new kitchen appliances and refinished cabinets. Kajun

I dunno....I thinking with TW's vast collection of chicken feet I can't help but suspect he found some donor tendon from some of them 3 legged chickens some where. I'm thinking tendon transplants are "afoot." Kajun

ClayDot would also work for the calibers you mentioned. I use Clays for that range but Clays is really hard to find. ClayDot is essentially the same powder and is available. Kajun

Yeah but we all know zombies are afraid of chicken feet so it might not be only the green bullets! Kajun

I sent you a PM with his phone number. Kajun

@Widder, SASS #59054 did you take Aisha and the other twin with ya on that mission trip to Zimbabwe? Kajun

Palewolf Widder has spoken.....Consummatum est Kajun

As of today's Pony Express delivery we are up to 57 shooters and still 3 months out. If you are gonna be shooting our match this year it would be advantageous for you to get your application in pretty soon. You can find all of the match information and application at https://www.srscowboy.com/events.html. Kajun

Well chickens like shiny things so ole TW might just come upon a new approach. Kajun
