A GREAT RIFLE !!! I worked acrossed the street from where these were made. Handled dozens of 'em and ALL were without equal in single shot rifles. Shot the BBL out of a 220SWIFT M. 10 in one day of prairie rat shooting with two famous gun'riders, both of whom were my personal invitees to the...

And so it goes...
Had one, worked fine.
EVERYthing you asked and mentioned is the BEST information available for buying a MARLIN 1894 44MAG carbine that gobbles up everything in fine style, shoots like a million bux, and drops ALL your precious brass right by your side.
