MARLIN CAN BE SO NICE WITH SOME LOVE

[hatt]

That's nice! I'd love to give my .357 that treatment. But don't want to put all that money into the old girl.

Wow...that is fantastic.

I have a 20" Marlin 1894 in 44 mag that I re-stocked with fancy walnut and put a Lyman tang peep sight on. Not nearly as handy as your shorty rifle, though.

Is that a 44 mag?

Also, how short is that barrel? Is that still the "legal" length?

That would make a really nice ATV/wild pig gun....for sure!

Thanks
The barrel is 16.5 and the LOP is 12 it is one small rifle.

I actually have 2 Marlin 94s...an 18" in 357 and the 20" 44 mag.

For some reason...the 44 mag is TONS more accurate than the 357 with every round I have tried.

With factory 240gr soft points at 50yds (using the stock sights) I could get a 5 shot group that was one ragged hole, the size of a half dollar. Yeah...shocked me, too. With other loads, the 44 mag Marlin is also a very tight grouping rifle for a "cowboy" lever gun. Never seen a 94 Winny shoot like that! LOL

Have you used it for hunting, because I have found the 44 mag Marlin to be VERY effective on wild pigs. With 44Spl cowboy loads, my 13 year old daughter finds it a hoot for plinking and getting raccoons that get in garbage cans. It is a very versatile rifle...no doubt.

I built it for a customer but I have done lots of them over the years thy are great pig guns.

If you would like your gun to shoot better I can help you with that as well.

When will it be in the shop?
I would love to work with you.

[Find ManBearPig!]

Please stop trying to make me purchase a lever gun, posting all these pictures just isn't fair to my wallet.

[brickboy240]

Careful...

Buying a lever-gun will be much like buying a 1911 or Mauser. Before you know it....you have a safe full of these things! LOL

Seriously, my collection started with inheriting Dad's 1957 made Model 94, then came the Marlin 44 mag, then it's 357 brother, then a Model 39 for my daughter and a pawn shop rescue Savage 99 in 243.

For some odd reason...I also want a Henry Golden Boy.

Its a sickness...I tell you! LOL
