I’ll run it over one of these days. It’s a really cool gun. It was my great grandfather’s.
I love them. Never owned one, but hope to some day.
I like them....
Yeah I bet you do with that one.
Sold a very nice one in 30-30 to a friend years ago for $100 so that he could get into deer hunting, with the understanding that if he EVER SOLD IT I could buy it back for the same $100. We did not talk for the next deer season then we talked after the season closed. He was all excited about the 742 30-06 he had bought in the off season. I said that is GREAT, you are building a nice collection. Now you have a 30-30 and a 30-06. He replied, "oh no, I sold that 30-30 and you will not believe what the guy gave me for it", I stopped him right there. He said, let me tell you the rest of it. I said no thank you. He asked why I was upset. I said if you don't know I can't explain it to you.
I have a JM Marlin in 35 that I bought from a different buddy about 10-12 years ago for $100 with the same understanding. That gun is not for sale and never will be as long as both of us are alive.
Am I an idiot for expecting a man to keep his word when he gives it to me? My dad told me many years ago that a man is only as good as his word. I live by that statement.
If I tell you a chicken can plow, hook her up.

Nope. A man's word is his word. Either one is a man of honor or he is not.
