Hi I'm New

Hey to you all, I was looking for a new home last night when I found out that the Marlin site was closed down, so there seems to be a silver lining in those dark clouds. I figure I can give a little back round. Hi my name is Bill and I have been addicted to guns for over 25 years I have tried to stop buying them but I just can't seem to kick the habbit. I live at a remote fish hatchery in Alaska and enjoy the shooting and reloading sports and I hope I have found some kinderd sprits here.[^]

    Welcome! My family used to live in Anchorage. Alaska is such a beautiful place. Filled with majestic glory. None of that here. Just a bunch of good old gun totin' boys that tell it straight. Just don't be too sensitive and you'll have a blast.

    You'll find we have several members on here from Alaska...

    Welcome to the mayhem. I posted a few times over on the Marlin forum but as I don't currently own any I didn't frequent it. I wonder why they shut it down.

    I just checked out the Marlin site to see if it said why they closed, here was the info:


    We noted that "Marlin Talk" was cancelled because of "technical and administrative considerations". As you all know, Marlin pays to have our website - including "Marlin Talk" - on the Internet. It is, therefore, a company sponsored feature. This makes Marlin responsible for what appears on the site. As you know, many statements, questions and recommendations appear on the site that may be factually wrong, provide dangerous information, or contradict Marlin safety instructions. Ideally, "Marlin Talk" entries that we disagree with or are just plain incorrect, should be answered by Marlin at the site in a timely manner. This task simply cannot be done because of lack of personnel - thus it is truly an "administrative" problem. To continue with "Marlin Talk", leaving these concerns, questions, and issues unanswered, is a situation that we do not consider acceptable. To allow former "Marlin Talk" members the opportunity to retrieve e-mail addresses or download listed posts we are opening "Marlin Talk", without the ability for users to post, until February 20, 2004. We apologize for any inconvenience that the discontinuance of "Marlin Talk" causes you, but due to a wide variety of issues we have no alternative choice. .

    Thanks for all the replys, like I said I live at a remote hatchery and don't get to discuss guns much except on the net. When I was a kid we used to break into the fish hatchery to fish now I work at one, go figure. Thanks again.

    Welcome aboard.

    Are you at Little Port Walter or Mediveji Hatchery? I just figured with your nickname that you were in SE someplace. I lived in Sitka 12 years prior to moving to where I am at right now. Or are you at some other place I haven't worked at?
