The last time i had a 38-40, it was a Colt SAA and when I sold it I gave away my 1/2 box of 38-40 ammo. Bought a 1894 marlin today in 38-40 and there is no ammo to be found. If one of you kind souls can spare a handful or two of empty cases and bullets, I'll take this one hunting this fall. I am at your mercy.
