I officially have become a first time gun owner! And here she is, my first gun under my name. This is my Marlin Model 1895, which was made in 1990.
I had it fit with a Leopold Scope and a sling since I plan on using it for hunting. It's chambered for .45-70 Government, and has a 22-inch barrel. No muzzle device, however, as it isn't threaded. #weapons source
