(older) Marlin Bolt actions

I've bored you-guys with the "Santa Carry" thread...
as I was visiting the After-Christmas-Santa-Shops looking for a 1911,
I was finding "deals" on some descent Marlin Bolt rimfires...
I've got to find a cure for my advanced case of "Rugertoid Marlinitis"...
The Model-10 is a '69 model and has a home-made stock,
modeled after the traditional squirrel-embossed stock and nicely done.
The Model-81 is early '60s (I think, as it is sans S/N back then).
The Model-881 is '95 and Gently-Owned... except that it musta been
a diesel-mechanic that owned it... the lifter-mechanism was packed
with Brown-Thick-Axle-Grease !!! the trigger, too...
I guess he pawned it because it wouldn't cycle/fire in cold weather!
The Walnut-Targetted(tm) stock is really nice.
I should have taken a before/after photo of the grease-cleaning,
it was a real-hoot! ... but the budget for "firearms and cameras"
got used up before I got to the camera-store... and my older camera
needs daylight to take an acceptable image...
There were cheap-slings on the 81&881 and basic-RimFire scopes.
I'll re-install them later...
after some cleaning and oiling they all "feel fine"...
I need to go aim them at some paper and see what happens...
