Coacheys are indeed a nice paddock/bunny gun. Great fun. Dont actually know length, Ill have to measure & let you know, my guess is 18/20" roughly.
I shgould point out (for the text yesty...D'OH! Pics are indictive for reference, Both Marlins are Pre Rem era, 30-30 does have a scope, Pump model; is wrong, I think its actually a 1906. Or as the Americqans call it a "Gallery Gun" (although not exactly true to type that its chambered to fire 22 short, 22 & long rifle. Whereas a gallery gun was chambered in short only. (Well, thats what my research tells me.)
Looking forward to hitting the "range" (Back bush paddock/bl;ock at a mates place.) and having some fun! The pump needs a re-blue and stock/fore grip refinish. It'll come up a treat, lovely firm yet smooth actions on all.
22 WMR was a butchers gun, mag tube will need a re-blue from where its sat in the scabbard, lucky to have had a brick of shells through it.
Both Marlins wouldve had about 3 boxes of shells each through them, stocks not marked or anything, all in all, was very lucky there.
Coach gun is a little kncoked around, blueing is okay, stock/fore grip could have a refurb.
SKB is in great nick.
Bring on the fuuuuuun!
Oh and P.S., Looking to also add a circuit judge & possibly a Winchester Model 94 (30-30 of course)
Winchester Model 06 .22 Pump
Winchester Model 9422 .22WMR Lever, with scope
Marlin Model 1895 45-70 Government, Lever
3 shotguns, all 12 Ga, U/O, SKB, FEG (coach) and Fausti
maybe a Boito coach gun, just because I should have a SXS in the safe.
