Howdy from North Texas
« on: December 03, 2010, 02:40:15 PM »
First post here. Am 57 yrs old and live in Wichita Falls. Work for PPG Industries in the Glass division.(37yrs) Recently married to a former high school sweetheart and she loves firearms,too. We shoot together at the range,when possible. Was never interested in lever action rifles until recently but now have a serious case of "Marlinitis". Presently,I own an 1895ABL,an 1895CB,a 336BL,and might be acquiring an absolute mint condition 1972 336 Cowboy soon. My favorite is the 1895ABL. Just had the action & trigger slicked up and have new XS sights & rail coming from Brownells. Then,it's going to Defensive Impact in Denton,TX so Adam can apply one of his nice Duracoat finishes in a light gray/silver color. Can't wait to try it out on the wild hog population here in North Texas and Southern Oklahoma.
Glad to be a member of this site.
