Jeff called me and asked to make a post for him, he will be home later this weekend but wanted to get this posted. Jeff came in from hunting this evening put his gun on the bed so he could take his hunting clothes off, laid the clothes on the bed on top of the gun. He sat on the bed to take off your boots and forgetting it was there sat on the gun, braking the stock on his 35 Remington Marlin lever action rifle. He is looking for leads on where to buy a stock.
Jeff said no fat jokes :D ... it snapped like a twig.

i am going to do my best to not make any jokes, but DanG it, that is just to much 8)

I will get a web site tomorrow for a place in Kentucky that sells replacement stocks, fairly cheap.

Tammy,

You need to rename this thread "Brave or Stupid"...

Coz I feel we're gonna see examples of both. :-\

I see Burl's made a good start.

asy :D :D :D :D :D

AWWWW MANNNN! He get's nothing but sympathy from me. That's some heavy duty misfortune! :'(

Good thing it did not discharge. Or is that as Paul Harvey would say " Now you have heard the REST of the story" :D :D :D :D

That is really sad about the gun stock. :( Make sure he checks to see if he bent the barrel. ;) ;D I suppose a bent barrel would not make any difference since he doesn't see any bear .

Ron Scott · October 20, 2006, 11:30:12 PM

Not a good way to end the hunt , especially if the bear shows up. :'(

I 'spect da baar has a major tummy ache about now, and hasn't been movin about much lately.

Now he won't have that baar rug to snuggle up to this cold winter.............

Texas Ranger · October 21, 2006, 01:34:13 PM

hoosiergunworks@aol.com, email them and see what they say about a stock, friend of mine found a butt stock from them for an old stevens shotgun for about $50.

Texas Ranger · October 21, 2006, 01:38:09 PM

tummy ache from laughing? ya think some of jeffs problem was he was sharing that strawberry stuff and chocklate cookies with the bear?

Jeff · October 21, 2006, 05:39:50 PM

I'll have to post a photo of that stock. It snapped like a graham cracker. It worrys me now that it might have been defective and could have broken while shooting. When I sat down it sounded like a paper bag crumpling. Its a real soft bed and there is really now reason for it to have broke as easy as it did.

Kevin · October 21, 2006, 06:14:42 PM

Well, there is one reason. ;D

chet · October 21, 2006, 06:22:24 PM

Der ain't no way I would have owned up ta sittin' on my gun ta this bunch. :

Ya shoulda said ya had a Boone and Crocket baaaar come in ta da bait da last day and da DanG gun wouldn't fire. :'( And in frustration ya tried ta wack da baaaar over da head, only ta have da stock brake. :(

Burlkraft · October 21, 2006, 06:40:09 PM

Yup...Ya shudda done what Chet said.... :D :D :D

Welcome Back... ;D ;D ;D

SwampDonkey · October 21, 2006, 06:42:23 PM

Chet, I was surprised ya didn't get called for the use of the pickup and them chains that Jeff always gets stranded on bad back roads with. I was think'n maybe that gun was sit'n more like on the bed of the truck and he slipped in the snow and landed on that gun when jump'n up and down for traction. It might be a nice soft bed of snow, but not quite deep enough to cushion the fall on the gun.

;D

Kevin · October 21, 2006, 06:50:33 PM

It must get pretty lonely at the old cabin , eh? :D

Jeff · October 21, 2006, 06:53:17 PM

I knew I would get teased but ya should have been there. It was a freak accident not a fat accident. ;)

Kevin, yes it did. I kept waiting for the call. >:( ;)

Dangerous_Dan · October 21, 2006, 08:21:01 PM

Try The Gun Parts Corp. Used to be called something else like Numrich Arms I think. Located in NY state.
They have a catalog the size of a phone book. I have edition 21.
I don't see a model 35 but they have alot of stocks for Remington and some don't have a model #.
If you have the exact model # and maybe a pic I'll check and see if anything matches up for ya. ;)

jtmccallum · October 21, 2006, 11:32:34 PM

Might give Dick Williams gun shop in Saginaw a call. They carry lot's of used parts.

Corley5 · October 22, 2006, 11:50:58 AM

Burlkraft · October 22, 2006, 12:40:15 PM

Tom · October 22, 2006, 12:53:23 PM
