Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

Isn't Remington making the M4s for the military now?

They need to close down there N.Y. plant and move to gun friendly state.

Marlin 39A's are selling like gold at gun shows.  Most of them are 8 and 900 dollars.  Sure is a shame.

And here I was thinking they sure took a long time locking the doors.

Side note: UPcrawfish, you may have just thrown FarmerRick back to drinking (more) ;)  You cannot understand the amount of Group Therapy (and beer) it took to get him to the Happy Place he now resides.  I know it wasn't intentional, you may not have known of his incurable Marlinitus.

NE Bull,
I guess then I shouldn't talk about a Marlin 336A in 30-30, NIB - never fired, just handled lovingly....   8)

No your shouldn't, because, unfortunately Marlinitus is a transferable disease, and I have had too much exposure to both Rick and my younger brother.

So... A 336A you say?????

Their parking lot is just north of Baily Road, next to I-91, and it sure looks empty to me!
Google maps "91 Bailey Rd, North Haven, New Haven, Connecticut 06473" and see for yourself!  :D
