It's a Trap! 004: Marlin Hand Traps

Looking good Mae! Whatever diet you've suffered, it's assuredly working for you!

Ok, so I'm gonna shoot some clays, which means I'm packin at *least* one shotgun, a few boxes of shells, ditto for clays, and yet I feel the need for a take-down trap???

I wonder if you could be trying to use those things upside down. I suspect the original instructions would have said that the rubber coated side of the jaws should be rearward to impart more spin on the clay birds. The "muzzle loader" hand trap seems clearly to be symmetrical. The "breach loader" thing might just have been for left-handed throwers. Just curious.

actually. those traps could be fun.

Poor Kevin. I share his type of humor and I almost choked on my coffee. Thanks for the laughs. And good job on the history as usual 👍

I love this relaxed vibe

You have to remember that when these were made a dollar a day for the average worker was good money my dad worked for as little as 35 cents a day during that time and was glad to get it.

These silly bits are not just entertaining, but informative.

Absolutely loving this silliness

Thank you for having Mae say 'money shot' while Kevin squeezes her shoes. After my bad day, it was appreciated very much.

Collectors can be strange. After 38 years, I parted out the BMX bike from my childhood. Five of the parts sold on eBay for over $2000 total.

Really enjoying this welcome distraction -keep it up!

So enjoying this.

$1800? Woof! Someone REAALLY wanted that one!
