My brother stole a Marlin 39A Golden Mountie Rifle from me and traded it for a bag of weed. My grandfather left it to me.

I doubt I’ll ever forgive him for it.

I still have mine. Got it when I was 14. Sweet lever-action.
Accurate as hell.

Wow, that was cruel. People will do awful things to kin for dope. I hope he got his act together.

My father gave me a 1950(?) Marlin 336rc that my grandfather gave to him.

Hadn’t been fired more than 40 times and it was perfect.

Burglars took it, I feel your pain.

And you let him live? Some things are thicker than water, but stealing a lever action from family ain’t one of them.

The selling of any “JM” marked Marlin would be a death penalty offense in my family.

In Texas, firearm theft is a felony, no matter the value of the gun. Your brother not only betrayed a trust, he delivered a gun to a criminal.
