Thank you all for the replies. I was lazily hopeful that someone on CWT had one of these and could tell me all about it without having to do any meaningful research myself! 😂 Coues, It does say black powder. Thank you for the link. Not sure on the barrel length? I will reach out to Marlin and see what they have to say. regards, bill

Hey guys, I am looking for information regarding a Marlin 32-40 black powder that my Father in law was kind enough to leave me. As you can see (hopefully) from the photos, it was made in New Haven, Connecticut. Not sure of the date of manufacture? Octagon barrel that is heavy. What is the going price on a gun like this? Any information or history on these rifles is appreciated. Thank you, bill

Skynyrd stealing the Stones thunder in England with Give me a T for Texas and then walking on the Stones Stage tongue. American Grit! 😀

Not sure yall could open previous link sent. My favorite songs always seem to have real life parallels or speak to things that I’ve witnessed or learned (often the hard way)throughout my life. And Stanley, thank you for the April Wine…..jammed heavily yo them in the early 80’s. This is fun and has me smiling! Keep it going! bill

https://youtu.be/tW8F8JCn6UQ Bigorange, really enjoyed the Ode to bourbon. Apparently “my song” has now been written and sung! 😂 Here’s one that I’ve been playing on repeat. bill

Nice buck and nice shot! CONGRATS! bill

CONGRATS Sneakem! Dandy buck in a tough year indeed!

Well done Amigo! bill

So….how’d you do Steve? Tell that story brother! 😀 bill

Saw a buck with 3 doe while scouting this morning in 35A and another larger buck alone. The cooler “blue sky” morning had them up and active…at least in my neck of the woods. Good luck to all!

Steve, I am local here. 2nd week of this hunt is best as training activities will be low, thus more open areas. Download Fort Huachuca off Avenza maps (isportsman) if you haven’t already. Call or shoot a text tomorrow and we can discuss some of the areas that produce decent deer. 520-two six six-1312. bill

ALYUAZ-Thank you for posting this. In looking at the hatchet, it appears that it will meet my expectations, and it won’t break the bank (especially so close to Christmas) either! 😀. I think that this is the one I’ll go with. Still planning to take Edge’s class in the spring too! bill

Edge, Thank you for the information and link. I have always had an interest in blacksmithing/forging ever since I was a kid. I remember going about my chores and watching as the farmer repaired or fabricated using heat, anvil, and hammer. I knew then that it was both art as well as hard work, but still always wanted to try my hand at it. Then the Army got in the way and I got good at breaking stuff with a hammer…..but not much else. 😂 I’ll take you up on the offer to learn and will contact you via the link. Thank you, bill
