    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    Like cars and bikes, every gun has a story. That's a good one. My Dad bought a new Marlin model 39A, ser. # D23764, on Valentine's Day 1948. It was an excellent rifle and highly accurate. I wanted that gun ever since I was a little kid. In February 1998 when he was getting old he finally...
