Chris, not to derail you on your search for a single shot, but you've mentioned 93 marlins a couple of times. We had a friend on here pass away a few months ago. In the last two years of his life, I purchased a few of his incomplete projects, when he needed some help on doctor bills. In that bunch there are 3 93 marlins, of which I know very little. Two are takedowns, and one is a fixed barrel. The fixed barrel has a NEW old stock .38-55 barrel in it, I think one of the takedowns is in .38-55 and the other in .30-30. The one with the new barrel is the metal only, does not include stocks. The stocks are available semi-inletted for the $100 cost range. I've been contemplating selling them, and know they would be a LOT less than the $1000 cost you threw out there. I think I'm into them a lot closer to $500 apiece, and would sell them for what I have in them. They're not pristine collectors, one is metal only, one needs buttstock, one is complete but really needs the stocks replaced. Let me know if you're interested, I have been trying to get the time to take them apart and ebay the pieces, but have too many other things going on. I've spent the past several months decluttering my shop and safe and selling stuff off, it's been slow and I'm doing bigger items first, these don't take up much room and they have a lot of pieces to sell when I do get to them. Seen a couple references to your website? What kind of work do you do, and do you have a link to the site? dave
