Short Barreled .35 Remington
« on: March 11, 2007, 01:24:25 AM »
I saw an older one at the the gun show yesterday.  The bluing and wood were very nice.  The sling swivels needed to be replaced with the correct ones, the buttplate was missing a piece, and the little bullseye in the buttstock was gone.  The price was $335.00 which seems high.  What do you think?

  If it's worth it to you...  I'm at the pint where I see prices as a base.  If a particual item is worth "by the book" $100 and it's priced at $110 but I really want it, I'll but it.  The gun is only worth as much as you're willing to pay for it - or how bad you want it.   
  Ok that being said, if it's to be a working gun why worry about the bullseye? The game animals won't care nor will having the correct swivels matter to them.  Buttplate... easily replaced for $20 or less. For an investment piece, it's proberly not such a deal since after the money is spent bringing it back to original specs, the additional funds won't likely be recovered from selling it.

if its one of the original marlin marauders with the short (i believe 16 inch) barrel its well worth that.

Sounds a little bit banged up.  I bought one in 35 Rem a while back, used, bbut appeared to have never been fired and I paid about that same price...
