Went to my local pawn shop today looked at a marlin 44 mag. 1978 it's in about 80% stock looks good bore looks real good screws looks like they used a butter knife on blueing pretty good. There asking 379.00 offered 275.00 they came back with 325.00, its in pretty fare shape it will be a project gun, I think it just may have to come home with me and the best part is the wife says go for it [early birthday present] what do yall think of the price?
