Marlin 92 joins the collection - Rbertalotto - 05-31-2016

Bad idea.....Wife is shopping at TJ Max and the Cabelas is right next door. I'll just go take a look in the gun library. A few weeks ago was at the same Cabelas and they had a refinished Marlin 92 in 32 Colt for $999. The refinish was extremely well done, but at $1K, just a bit much at this time. Although I did come home and research the whole thing and found that folks are successfully rechambering to 32 S&W Long with great results. Brass is just about impossible to find for the 32 COLT, but is readily available for the 32 S&W.

These rifles came with both a RF and CF firing pin. This one only has the RF.

Memorial Day Sale price....$650!!!... SOLD!

Dies, Brass, Mold and reamer are ordered.......Centerfire firing pin from Wiseners...Ordered. Should make a great Cowboy Action Shooting rifle...

I have seen one of them once. I was at the Ridgway range on day and a couple of Sr shooters had one they wre playing with. Judging from the casing it has also been re chambered for the S&W long. They were pinging a 200 yd chicken with it. Yours is a very fine looking rifle.
