Announcement....
Believe it or not there are still extremely generous folks in this world. I have had the chance to experience this first hand.
I'm not talking about someone picking up your tab at the bar or doing a bit of side work for nothing.
I had an entire firearm bought for me out of the complete and absolute kindness of this person's heart. Not a POS or even a used gun(although those would have been completely fine with me). I'm talking about a BRAND NEW, IN BOX, firearm. It was done not to show off, or build an ego, but just to share the utter pleasure of helping one out and sharing the experience with another. We were complete strangers and still pretty much are(I still have not met the person face to face). I offered to pay for any and all shipping and transfers throughout the deal, even to drive to their town and buy them lunch and a beer. I was told that I will not spend a dime to aquire this firearm. I was also told that they do not want to be named and labeled to this story. I will tell you that it was a member on here, and it was completely done out of their own goodwill and benignancy. If they wish to name themselves, so be it.
Here's the new aquisition and newest member of the household. Hopefully the harvester of a few deer this fall.
NIB Marlin 1894
I tried to get a few pictures, but the lighting sucks and I don't have time to set up another light. I recieved this about 2 weeks ago and haven't had time until now to post it.
From the bottom of my heart, I must express my unending thanks. You know who you are.
Thank you.

Great to see the generosity sill flows in this world. You are going to love that gun Cubs. I got a 1895 in 45-70 a few months ago and I can't believe I hadn't thought of getting one earlier.

NICE RIFLE TOO...[:p]0 -
Hey Cubs, I called the Fish and Wildlife Division of the Indiana DNR today and they told me the last hearing went well for the new regulations on deer hunting this fall. The final vote is to be held on May 22nd, but the folks at the office said it was virtually guaranteed to pass to let us use pistol cartridge rifles this fall. You should be able to take a crack at one by November.
Good Luck[:)]0 -
