Randy Saint Eagle, SASS # 64903 Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 Campo, decide to give up Marlin's? Hope you are doing well, have a Merry Christmas. Hope you and Padre can come shoot Tennessee State with us next year. Randy
Campo Kid Posted December 2, 2010 Author Posted December 2, 2010 Campo, decide to give up Marlin's? Hope you are doing well, have a Merry Christmas. Hope you and Padre can come shoot Tennessee State with us next year. Randy The Marlin is a very good rifle and I like it, but it's time I buy a 73. Besides my dad needs a rifle, so he can have the Marlin. Kid
Deuce Stevens SASS#55996 Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 The Marlin is a very good rifle and I like it, but it's time I buy a 73. Besides my dad needs a rifle, so he can have the Marlin. Kid besides, everyone knows how slow those Marlins are.
Bitter Creek Jack Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 besides, everyone knows how slow those Marlins are. Deuce Doesn't a Marlin hold the current speed record? Campo You may want to check out Pioneer Gun Works. If memory serves me right Poncho has one that Will at Pioneer did for him. Or give Colt a call, and see if he has anything. Oh my 73 done by Colt may be up for sale if I can find a good 18 1/2 inch barrel. If you are going to Knob Creek this weekend you can give it a shot or two if you want to. BCJ
Campo Kid Posted December 3, 2010 Author Posted December 3, 2010 besides, everyone knows how slow those Marlins are. Ha, yeah right! My Marlin is a Widder' Matic, but I gotta buy a new rifle anyway so a 73 is the gun to get. Kid

BCJ Hey Jack, I already talked to Colt and like most other gunsmiths he doesn't have any 73s. If you do decide to sell your 73 I'd like to see it. Kid And yeah a short stroked Marlin does hold the speed rifle record.
Randy Saint Eagle, SASS # 64903 Posted December 4, 2010 Posted December 4, 2010 Campo, I don't know if he has any in stock but I bought a '73 from Cody Conagher that I really like. http://www.codyscowboyshop.com/ If you don't find anything ready to go let me know . I have a buddy with a gun shop that has a new one in stock. Good Luck. Randy
Campo Kid Posted December 4, 2010 Author Posted December 4, 2010 O.k. thanks Randy I'll let you know.

BrimstoneJerome Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 Pistol grip a preferance or does it offer an advantage?

Campo Kid Posted December 16, 2010 Author Posted December 16, 2010 Pistol grip a preferance or does it offer an advantage? Basically it's personal preference but the pistol grip does come with checkered fore-end and rear stocks, and that does help enhance grip. Kid
No Horse Hair, SASS #77464 Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 btt Campo kid, I saw Persimmon Dan at gun show today. He is selling a 73 w/Conagher action work. But I don't think it was pistol grip, however he has had the forend checkered. It is smooth. No Horse Hair

Kid Curry, SASS# 2924 Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 I have a Cimarron Deluxe border rifle 20". "full race gun" by Cowboy gunworks. Has not been fired. I will pm you with the details. KC
Persimmon Dan, SASS #42428 Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Call Jimmy Spurs at Cowboy Gunworks or Colt McAllister and see what they can do for you!! If you want the best....call 'em!! email Colt..... gsward@charter.net or Jimmy Spurs..... cowboygunworks@aol.com Go for it!!
Campo Kid Posted December 23, 2010 Author Posted December 23, 2010 Call Jimmy Spurs at Cowboy Gunworks or Colt McAllister and see what they can do for you!! If you want the best....call 'em!!email Colt..... gsward@charter.net or Jimmy Spurs..... cowboygunworks@aol.com Go for it!! Dan, I've already talked to both of them. Colt has a long waiting list simply because Cimarron and Taylor haven't gotten any 73's in his hands. Jimmy built some Rugers for me and I really like them, he does awesome work. But Jimmy's custom short stroke 73's is not something that I really want, the same with any other custom link short stroke. For example if something bends, breaks or a pin shears off etc..., the 73 has to be sent back to them so they can fix it according to the 73's problem specifically. In other words, with the custom short stroke parts availability goes down. And the custom short stroke is longer, very smooth, but with a longer lever throw. I'd rather have a 73 with a short stroke kit like Poineer Gunworks Super Short, or C&I 5th Gen. But thanks for the recommendation, Kid
Goody, SASS #26190 Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 http://sassnet.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=161293 This is a good one. He has been tuning these from the beginning, and knows what it takes. I guess the only drawback is that it is not a pistol grip like you wanted. If I didn't already have a 73 and a 66 tuned by Cody I'd be looking strong at this one.
