New project from the gun show

[Dan]

I was at a gun show this yesterday and picked a Marlin model 1892 .22RF. The serial number dates the gun as manufactured in 1902. The front and rear sites are missing as is the butt plate and I don't think the barrel has been cleaned in 50 years. Other than the missing butt plate, the stocks are in very good condition and I can see the rifling through the grunge in the barrel. It should be a good project and will give me an excuse to go scrounging at me gun shows.

I snapped a couple of quick pics a few minutes ago and will post better pictures later.

you should chrome it, give the barrel a longer stretch, and put a wide butt stock on it

But that would make it an '08 not an '02
