Looking for Brass
Posted: Sat Nov 18, 2023 4:36 pm
My neighbor contacted me the other day and asked for some help with an old Marlin. So after exchanging some text messages he told me it was a Marlin Model 94 in caliber 32-20. He wanted to know if I could help him out with finding ammo and looking over the condition of the rifle.
So today he dropped it by and I'm blown away. This thing is in really great condition and has a wonderful patina on the metal. The bore looks great with no pitting and certainly could be a shooter, if you can find ammo. Based on the serial number it appears to be manufactured about 1907-1908.
So now I'm on a quest to find some brass to reload and/or loaded ammo. I've checked all the regular sources and 32-20 is impossible to find either loaded or fired brass. Yes there is some on Gunbroker, but $2.00 per round for fired brass is a little too steep. I you can help point me in a direction it would be greatly appreciated.
