New in box Marlin 1895GBL in .45-70. This is the first time I took it out.
This is the Guide Gun with the Big Loop Lever. Great looking gun, but has a hitch in the Lever mechanism. The Lever would not close the last 1/4″ some times. Sometimes it would, sometimes it would lock up and I’d have to work the lever a bit to get it to go. This problem got worse until it was almost intolerable.
After this video was shot, I did some work on it and smoothed it out with some Slipstream Weapon Lube from Crusader Weaponry… Slick as butter now.
Unfortunately the stock is loose and wont tighten, so before I shoot it anymore, I’m going to send it back to the factory so Marlin can fix it.
I’m happy with the gun, but at the same time, disappointed in Marlin for this stock. It has some good gaps and a lot of play even with the bolt tightened down all the way. That’s not cool. But then again, I purchased this Marlin knowing I’d probably have some sort of issue with it.
The ammo fired was Hornady’s LEVERevolution 325 grain load. Shoots like a pussycat.

I had to. After shooting Evil Jim’s that bloody thing just wouldn’t get out of my head.
I had to join the Guide Gun Club. So I looked at what we had at the gun shop and I picked out this little thumper. It’s nothing fancy at all, just a Marlin 1895GBL in .45-70. It’s going to do just fine for my needs. The Guide Gun has always been a gun I’ve wanted since I’ve had just about all the others. Finally got my own.

I might have to order some Wild West Guns sights for it… but other than that, I’m keeping it nice and simple and stock. No rail, no red dot, no “Tactical”. Just Old School Thumping Power. Gotta love it.
Romney is going to be the Man for the GOP. Like it or not. This isn’t official or anything, of course. But it’s a solid indicator.
The guy might be unlikeable on several levels, but I think he’ll make for a fine President.
A Bowl of Ramen Noodles would do a better job than what we have now.
Oh Crap. Hugo Chavez guessed it. The USA gave him cancer and he found out about it. By carefully dosing his Frosted Crazy Flakes every morning, we were able to give him cancer after this 20 year process. We finally got Kim Jong Il, and now we’re getting him too! (Insert Evil Laughter Here)
Because it couldn’t have been all the cigars and red meat that the fat bastard has been sucking down all his life… it’s America out to get him. My hell, I can’t wait until that twat kicks the bucket. His constantly blaming the USA for everything… Come on. Doesn’t he have any appreciation for the CIA putting all those hundreds of thousands of Agents in his country to haunt his every move? No appreciation at all!
Note to all the Agents down there. Let’s get his Little Dog too…
The next couple posts below this one, are books that you should buy and read. They are written by my friends and brothers.
First one, is by my younger brother, Zack. This one is called Shattered Lands, and it’s a work of Fantasy unlike anything you’ve read before. Zack’s books unexpected and unique. They are great reads. Get them for your Kindle Reader!
Here’s another awesome book… I’m reading through this one again, because it’s too good not too. I got a copy in paperback for Christmas. First time I read it was was on my laptop, rough draft. It was great then. It’s better now, actually holding your friend’s book in your hands.
If you haven’t read it, your wrong.
Too Wylde by my good friend Marcus Wynne. Put it in your Kindle Reader. Along with all the other books Marcus has written. He writes some seriously hard core gritty stuff… I love it. Nasty bad guys, flawed heroes, harsh and drastic violence. Good stuff!
