Author Topic: Can you still get the Marlin 44 mags with short barrels? (Read 885 times)

Missed a used one yesterday with a short barrel and ported with scope for $375.

Dealer told me you can not get them anymore.......true?

blued ported ones are long gone. Good news is they just came out with a limited run of short stainless ones.

:cb2: If not, there is always the, ah, . . . Winchester Trapper. (OK, I'm ducking for cover now.)

griz theres no need to duck for cover. Ive had a couple trappers and actually like them more then a 94 marlin. I guess its cause they just look like a lever is suppose to look. the ones i had were shooters too!

Guys, it's not that hard to cut one down. I did it with a W 94 several years ago. I used a pipe cutter to score the barrel and the mag tube to use as a reference mark to keep everything square. when I was done I refinished mine with Birchwood Casey's Plum Brown to give it an old look.

I just picked up a 1894P for My dad and I for Christmas.. It was Brand New In the box ... A local dealer made me a deal on it .. Until I got on here and started checking. I didn't know, they were no longer in production ... I love the way it handles ..

The one thing I noticed about it after about 8 rounds the collar with the sling swivel stud in it , where it attachs to the forend. The screws won't stay tight. and the one seems to be stripped.. Is there a fix for this??
