You are one of those Marlin guysThis might sound silly, but I would trade a very decent Marlin regular carbine for the complete refurbishment of a Marlin sporting carbine of roughly the same age.
I currently own both rifles , both in 30-30 , both from the late 40s or early 50s.
The SC is in pretty sad shape and I'd be happy with a complete overhaul even if the parts ( including stock) were not original or even period correct. The RC is actually a very nice wavy top that hasn't been messed with in any way I can see. It's worth more than the beater , but has zero sentimental value. The old SC is a family gun .
Trade one vintage rifle for parts and SKILLED labor on the other.
That's a confusing human trait sentiment. I know what you mean. I could go on.You are one of those Marlin guys
Man, an old Fox .20 gauge would be neat-o, especially is it was one of the Prefix A.H. Fox, as it would match my .12 gauge A.H. Fox nicely!Shotguns are extremely personal in regards to fit and "shootability".
26" is a great barrel length for grouse and the like.
As far as my wish list Wingmaster goes...
I'd love one with a 26 inch barrel and Improved Cylinder for grouse...and a extra 20 inch barrel for those things that go bump in the night....
I'll get one , someday...
In meantime...Like I said...I have a Savage / Fox for trade.....

An old Fox would be neat....However mine is a Savage / Fox from 1971...so it ain't even old...Man, an old Fox .20 gauge would be neat-o, especially is it was one of the Prefix A.H. Fox, as it would match my .12 gauge A.H. Fox nicely!
Is this one an A.H. or more Savage?
