Rural Politics And Guns
"oy-vey"... my HTML skills are terrible today. Anyway, please forgive me if things don't look just right. I'll tweak them shortly. And as usual, Internet Explorer displays stuff the way I want and Netscape can't even show my links as "orange." *Sigh.*

So in case you've spent the last three months wondering... Both guns are from Marlin. On top is the N25, a simple bolt-action .22 long caliber (no, I won't use the French spelling) fed by 10 round clips. And yes, sue me if you must but I call them clips, not magazines. Just deal with it. When I was a kid at camp, we used Remington .22s (single-shot) and they were wonderful and this rifle makes me feel 12 years old again.
The second rifle is the Marlin 9mm carbine Camp Gun. One of the most wonderful long guns I've ever acquired. It was designed to be a simple, easy to handle rifle you could tote with you when you --oddly enough-- went camping. Use it for small game, for protection, for plinking (God knows there's nothing cheaper then 9mm ammo -- except maybe .22 long) and it didn't take up a lot of space.
I bought it used but unfired several years ago and if a bunch of mad Arabs were to storm my house, this is the first gun I would grab. The original clip is for 12 rounds but it accepts S&W magazines and I have four 30-rounders that work just fine.
From what I can glean from the internet, Marlin only made 3000 of these -- half in 9mm and half in .45 automatic. I found this one at my favorite gun store in Vermont, Rick's in East Burke. It just feels right and has the correct heft and feel for a small guy like me.
Depending on my precarious finances, I have bought and sold a lot of guns in my life. These two are keepers and have never been considered for "the block."
And yes, I'll bet you long time regulars are shocked, shocked I tell you, that I finally updated this page... And I've made it a "pop-up window" so you can just close this window and be back in Alphecca.
I'm finally going to get this page going shortly. Now in the mean time, here are a pair of my favorite plinkers. Nothing serious, just long-guns that continue to give me pleasure when I'm target shooting or jumping a tin-can up the hill. Can you identify them? Or at least the maker? Both of them are made by the same company. Here's a hint: One of them is banned in California and in other leftist states. The photo below shows clips that all fit the banned gun. The bullets in two of the clips -- actually all of the variety of clips (that fit the same gun) should help you identify the caliber of the awfull, dangerous, banned firearm. I don't want to make this too campy. (And yes, that was another lame clue...)
And here is some of what I bought on National Ammo Day.Got Ammo?
Friends know that I favor long guns but I was in a handgunner mood.
So anyway, I expect this page will be up and running around mid-sometime...
