[QUOTE="Gwine, post: 1413961, member: 65644"] It would be my first rifle. My dad was badly injured when I was 5 and could no longer hunt. When I was 10 he sold his Winchester 94 and used some of the money to buy a beat up old Marlin model 80. There was no magazine and no rear sight. I saved up to get a rear sight installed, but never got a magazine for it. At one point the firing pin broke. Knowing we couldn't afford to get it fixed, I figured out that if I turned down a nail using a drill and file it would work in place of the pin. Who knows how many thousands of rounds I single fed thru that rifle. When I was 17 I traded it towards a Hi Standard .22 target pistol (wish I still had that too) I would trade almost anything in my safe to have that old rifle back, or dad's 94. [/QUOTE]
