My first non-restricted firearm. I'm grinning from ear to ear and haven't even shot it yet.
Marlin (JM)
? or Remlin (REP)?If it's a Remlin it actually looks pretty good.
Hear lots of bad opinions about Rossi guns by people who have never even held one in their hands who are for whatever reason just parroting negativity.
I own 2 older Amadeo Rossi SA M92s (.44 Mag, .45 LC) that don't have the silly safety nuts on the bolts and they are fine, very accurate guns.
The Rossis are a lot closer to the original John Browning model 92 design than the Miroku Japchesters with their cheep looking epoxy finishes, tang safeties and rebounding hammers and cost half the money.

Nice buck!
I see your from Elkford, one of my favorite little towns in BC. When I was a bit younger I used to visit in the winter. Man you guys got lots of snow!

My Fathers Suprise Winchester 1894
Did this as a project to surprise my father for all his support when I was attending school, and for his almost 4 decades of service in the RCMP...
Bare bones stock
To this...
Buttstock inletted for RCMP crest, stock completely redone to a handrubbed dull satin/semi-gloss finish, all accessory pieces Nitre Blued to a golden patina'd finish, his badge number, name and rank engraved in golden inlay on the chamber by David Clevinger of the Firearms Engravers Guild of America, and lighted lockable display case as well... He was more then happy, and I was too!....

Thanks! Yeah Ive always wanted to give Nitre Blueing a try, and I was VERY impressed with the results... if I ever get a setup again in the future, Im gonna do my Ranch Hand the same way too!
I added a few short rifles to my collection. Here are some photos, but first some description, bottom to top:
1. 1894 Deluxe Short Rifle: 30WCF, 24" part octagon barrel, 1/2 mag, TD, 2X checkered PG wood, sling eyes.
2. 1894 Semi Deluxe Short Rifle: 32 SPL, 22" part octagon barrel, 1/2 mag, TD, fluted buttstock with hard rubber SGB.
3. 1894 Short Rifle: 32 SPL, 22" octagon barrel, 2/3 mag, Lyman #4 hunting front sight and Steel SGB. Receiver bluing wore off or cleaned, and a coat of something over the wood. Still scarce gun.
These pics are so poor, you can hardly see the checkering on the guns. It is still very good though, I style. Bluing on the 24" is much better than appears. Which I could get better taking these photos.
