It came today! I won't be able to get pictures up till either later tonight or tomorrow, but it's here!
Marlin 1894 .357 lever action, no cross-safety, SN begins with "22" meaning THEORETICALLY made in 1978. It looks nearly flawless, a couple of discolored spots on the stock and what looks like a plugged hole for a swivel. The action is very stiff, but the gun has almost no signs of wear. I plan on giving it a VERY thorough cleaning and re-oiling tomorrow to get the action silky smooth, if I can. Then, maybe take it to the range on Sunday!
(Also messin' with my new Surface Go, about the size of the old iPad II, but much, much lighter. And it's a full-blown Win 10 PC, not a tablet)
