Wow...those Marble's Game Getter guns are a real piece of history. Hang on to that. Not only is it valuable, but, of course, it's a pain to transfer NFA arms legally (but lucky you, you inherited it!)
Yeah...I'll bet there's a little of it in the Callahan FBAL :)

I love the placement of arms in Firefly. Lassiter s and all.

Question for FANGUN:

I recently inherited (from my late father) a very peculiar hand gun, with a folding shoulder stock. It's engraved, "MARBLE'S GAME GETTER GUN, MARBLE ARMS & MFG. CO.,GLADSTONE, MICH., U.S.A."

It's got two stacked barrels, 13" long. The other side is engraved, "UPPER BARREL .22S.L.L.R.& N.R.A.

LOWER BARREL .44 G (something I can't make out)& 410 2""

The hammer hits a device that appears to drive the firing pins in both chambers.

It looks like it's at least 100 years old.

Do you suppose it's the distant ancestor of the Callahan Full-Bore Auto-Lock?

Sadly, I never saw it while dad was alive, so I couldn't ask about it.

The guns of Firefly have been well discussed over there for a variety of reasons... but you know even as an enthusiast... we tend to 'overlook' some of the obvious ??? about the technology (or lack thereof) in the show.

Fair warning:

I reccommend you stay away from that place... that is, unless you're the right color, belief, and politics...
They gotta way of makin folks feel realllllly unwelcome, unless those folk are the same ones with a hankerin for Klan membership, that is.
The concept of the place is cool, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired, sadly.
A couple folk i know personally got run out of there on a rail for not fitting the desired mold, so be careful if ya visit.

The information is there is A+ in quality, but the atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired.

That's kind of ironic since our 'boss' is a Russian Jew... I'm not here to recruit for and or promote our site... I'm just a fan like anyone else.

You'll find a lot of Browncoats in a lot of suprising places.

It's gobbledygook, written by someone with zero knowledge of the subject.

Sorry that you and your friends had a bad time at The High Road, but I've been a member there for a few years without any problems.

I'm a moderate Democrat with Atheistic tendencies...

And I most definitely would not be welcome in the Klan, as their wardrobe wouldn't match my skin color.

And as DrRob pointed out, the site is run by a Russian Jew. So I think the veiled racist accusation is unfounded.

There are quite a few Firefly fans over there, just goes to show how universally appealling it is.

Apparently you did not read (nor did you quote) the entire post.

Let me correct that for ya.

As in knew them, as in watched them get run off, one in particular for daring to say that maybe folks there shouldn't be so eager to kill every single living being professing a certain belief or ethnicity.

It was made abundantly clear to them by the management, that while hate speech directed at certain groups is acceptable, calling people on it was not.

I would not call that an unfounded accusation, as he showed me the message itself.

The useful information part of the site, again, is of undeniable quality, but the society, not so much.

I usually don't quote entire posts because it seems to take up so much room.

Actually, can you use the email function here to send me some details about your friends experiance at The High Road? I am very interested in looking into this, as it is very different from what I've experianced there. And actually seeing it there might change my mind about it.
