What to do?

[J Smith]

I have been saveing for Blade,got a late start because I did not think I was going to get to go.Anyway I have a little cash saved and I go to a gun show today,traded into a Marlin SS 45-70 guide gun but back on topic,I ran across a dealer that lives about 20 miles from me that had a Santa Fe Stone Works Dino bone Kiwi with a really nice pattern in the scales and best of all he said he would sell it for 100.00 out the door. :eek:
So do I buy it and start over saveing for Blade?I am thinking I would be nuts to let it slip by at that price.

[WORKER#9]

I Think I Would Buy It!

[J Smith]

I think you are right.The guy didn't know what he had.He had 2 Santa Fe Leeks beside it and was asking 135.00 each for them.He thought they were done by Yellowhorse.

A good find! :D

But i'm sorry, I know this is the :spyder: forum, but how about a little more on the Guide Gun! :cool: I'm going nuts at the moment trying to find an 1894 P (basically a .44 mag Guide Gun!) in the UK. I know there are some around, but man are they elusive!

I shot an unported 45-70 with some stout reloads, belonging to a fella at the range. Certainly made the fillings rattle! :eek:

God bless,

Simon.

Aloha JSmith!

Go 4 it my friend! Them Dino Bone Kiwi's are awesome...specially that price?!

Good score also on that Marlin!

God bless,
:cool:

This one is a 1895 GS non ported.I had been looking for a 45-70 in stainless for a while but there are not many around.I have not fired one of the guide guns yet but the long barrel Marlin 45-70 of my dads has more of a push than a kick.About the same as a 20 ga shotgun.I hope this one is as accurate as the long barrel.

Just got back from picking up the Kiwi and best part is I got it for about the same price as a bone Kiwi (80.00) :D :D :D :D

Nice looking Kiwi. Good finds on the knife and the Guide Gun.

I had a customer who bought an American Derringer 45-70 under a .410. :eek: This guy would tackle anything, but fired the 45-70 once and needless to say, this beast went back in the box. The damn bullet was almost protruding out the muzzle, the bbl was only as long as the cartridge.:D

[J Smith]

I have seen those Derringers.I wouldn't think a 410 wouldn't feel to good either.
I have heard that a .410 can be fired in a 45-70.

Jeff, that's about the prettiest piece of dino bone I've ever seen. Nice looking 45/70 too, great figure in the stock. Haven't shot anything in that caliber in many a moon.

[greencobra]

I just noticed the knife you got laying up on the forend, I'm not up on all these yet, a R maybe?

Time for a precription change.

Nice score, J. Smith, that Kiwi is awesome. The dino bone scales are incredibly striking.

Can you sware that no dinosaur has been slain for the making of this knife??? :rolleyes: :D

very nice! and 80, man it's the deal of the year... :)

[Civilian]

Great scores there the knife was a no brainer vs blade.
I have been trying to convince the wifey to let pick-up a second gun, and when she finaly sucombs it will be the Cowboy version of the Marlin 45-70 (http://www.marlinfirearms.com/firearms/leverActionCB_rifles/1895CB.htm). I like the extra length and the 9 round capacity. That and a BFR in 45-70 (http://www.magnumresearch.com/Expand.asp?ProductCode=BFR45-707) to go in the holster!

If you like the cowboy Marlins try to find one of the LE models they came out with a couple years ago.They had a flip up long range rear sight with the barrel being hex half way and round the other half.
Thanks all,still can't belive I finnally got one of those great deals that you allways hear of others getting.
