Marlin Lever Action .410 shotgun
Between 1929 and 1932, Marlin manufactured only 6500 of these fine lever action shotguns. The information I read on them is that the only way a person could get one, was to purchase 4 shares of Marlin stock at $25.00 per share. Well, we’ve got one. This one is in overall good condition and the bore is like a mirror. The action is smooth and I put three rounds through it just to be sure. It does have the plug to limit the tube to 2 + 1. I’m convinced, it’s a sweetie. I saw one in very good condition top $800.00 on a gun auction site. That makes this one a bargain at:
Chigger Ridge Price: $599.00
Ruger Redhawk revolver, .44 Magnum, Stainless
Power. Just raw power in this matte stainless masterpiece from Sturm, Ruger & Co. A 5 1/2 inch barrel with hi viz sights in the front, and windage & elevation adjustments in the rear, Walnut grips and a marvelous balance for hunting or target shooting, or whatever else comes to mind. This one is in excellent condition. New ones like this are over $900.00.
Chigger Ridge Price: $549.00
KelTec P32, semiauto in .32auto
I’ve always been a fan of the .32 auto, and KelTec makes one of the nicest for the money. This one has an OD green frame with a black slide, and a stainless pocket clip. It’s a breeze to conceal in pocket or vest and packs a 7+1 capacity. Don’t underestimate a .32, especially if you’re using frangible ammo. Once again, this one comes with Davidson’s Lifetime Replacement Guarantee.
Chigger Ridge Price: $315.00.
Taurus PT145 Millenium Pro, .45ACP
Highly rated, reliable, and easy to carry concealed, this Taurus Millenium Pro in .45acp packs a punch with 2 @ 10 round magazines. I’ve found these sweet-shooters to be accurate, and they’re not picky about ammo. Whatever I feed it, it eats. Included is Davidson’s Lifetime Replacement Guarantee.
Chigger Ridge Price: $429.00
Taurus PT111 Millenium Pro, 9mm Parabellum
One of our favorites, Taurus’ Compact 9mm comes with two @ 12 round magazines, and Heinie sights. A sweet shooter that won’t break the bank to purchase it. It also comes with Davidson’s Lifetime Replacement guarantee.
Chigger Ridge Price: $399.00
Glock 27, compact .40 S&W Pistol
Lots of power in a compact, reliable, concealable package. New in the box with two magazines, load assist device, hard case, cleaning brush, and more. Great for concealed carry or a backup piece in an ankle holster.
MSRP $599.00
Chigger Ridge Price: On Sale: $$525.00
Marlin 336C, .30-30 Lever Carbine
This one’s been shot a few times, and its 8 years old, but you sure can’t tell it. American black walnut furniture graces this fine carbine. There’s nothin’ wrong with a solid ol’ Marlin .30-30. We’ve just added a 3-9×40 illuminated reticle scope to this package, too.
MSRP $563.00
Chigger Ridge Price: $449.00
IAC Regent 1911A1 .45 ACP
Manufactured in Turkey, these have the nicest fit and finish for an inexpensive “Army” .45. Wonderful accuracy and a great trigger enhance this fine semi-auto pistol. There’s really nothing like a “good ol’” .45.

Revue on CZ82 in 9 x 18 Makarov
CZ82 in 9 x 18 Makarov
While they are still available, y’all might consider takin’ a closer look at the CZ82 semiauto pistol that’s becoming more and more popular. I can’t seem to keep them in stock.
Why? Because it is a great shooting mid size pistol with a nice, easy trigger squeeze in both double and single action, it has a good capacity (12 +1), it’s an all-metal frame and slide, it’s designed so it fits both large and small hands with a web friendly grip high on the backstrap, ammunition is inexpensive and readily available, it’s a good caliber with plenty of stopping power without over-penetration, and personal defense (jhp) bullets are available.
Boy, that was a mouthful, wasn’t it?
The pistol has enough weight to absorb a good portion of the felt recoil and these fine handguns are extremely accurate.
Looking down the bore will be a little concerning, though. The lands and grooves are almost invisible. I’ve had several folks tell me “Boomer, this thing’s all shot out!! I can’t even see the rifling!!”
Well, no, it isn’t. It has what’s called a polygonal bore and the rifling is hard to see unless it gets really dirty. Believe me, it’s there.
Many of these surplus guns will show some honest wear from holster carry, but inside, where it counts, they are in great shape. So don’t be afraid of buying one that’s graded average to good.
Take down for cleaning is real easy, using the trigger guard slide release. So, it’s easy to maintain.
I’m trying to keep several in stock, but it seems like I’m ordering these just about every other week. Who’s buying them, you ask? Everyone from the gals & small frame guys to the big guys who want an inexpensive backup piece. They’re a great CCW handgun.
The 9×18 Makarov round lies just in between the .380 acp (9×17) and the 9mm Luger (9×19), so I’ve found it to be a great fit for high capacity, good power and little risk of over penetration.
Come out to Chigger Ridge and we’ll put a few rounds through one on the range. I’d bet you’ll be surprised.
