My new Marlin/Ruger Classic .44 Mag

[moparclan]

I did the same on mine that had the cross bolt safeties but went with the saddle ring type. Turnbull makes one that is still a safety but looks like a screw. Needs a screwdriver to operate though.

As far as I know, the ones I am using were made by a retired machinist in Wisconsin. They were blued and came with an Allen wrench to fir a screw in the Marlin cross bolt safety system. He only charged $10 and when he went out of business, I bought all he had at that the time (about 10). I only have about 3 or 4 left. Got to stop giving them away when I sell these Marlins.

Just got back from my first trip to the range. Shot .44 Special and 44 Mag at 45 feet. Was shooting a little low but the sights were easy to adjust. Action is pretty stiff but it will loosen up. All in all, it is a keeper.

I saw at a local store today a new 45-70 Trapper priced at $1300

Dear Ruger please chamber the gun in 454 Casull/45 Colt

 

[hittman]

41 Mag for me please ….. yeah ….. that'll NEVER happen, I know.

I hope they make a couple million of them in many pistol calibers.

I like the way you think. .22 mag, .357 mag would be great.

I know its a pipe dream, but if they made one in .45acp? It would be epic. 9mm would be nice too.

Yes I realize the problems using a rimless cartridge, but if they could pull it off………

I can't even express how happy I am that Marlin rifles are still being made in America.

I'd like to see a .327 Magnum like the 1894 CL with the half magazine. Had one in .25-20, what a sweet rifle.

Another vote for remake of the Marlin 1894 in 22 magnum. I remember them and wish I would have jumped back then. Solid guns.

My dealer got the first one in from his distributor. He showed it to me yesterday and I foolishly walked out without it. Quoted me a price of only $1,000 which I thought was great.

Did not sleep last night especially after seeing the crooks on GunBroker and other sites for prices from $1,250 to $1,500.

What really kept me awake was the vision of this unbelievable beautiful stock. I did not see even one photo on line featuring a stock this nice. Ruger probably did not dare put a photo of this stock on their ad page for fear that everybody would want one.

Just tried some A-Zoom snap caps which loaded and fed like silk. Was thinking of maybe not shooting this but I am sure that feeling will go away.








Let me know what you think.

Oh be still my heart, beautiful rifle. Great buy.

 

[Mauser9]

Beautiful wood and bluing! Figured Ruger would do a great job on a classic. Nice to see guns made with beautiful walnut again. An heirloom that will be a prize to pass down someday.

That's right purty
