I found a pre safety Marlin 1895 in 444 Marlin with the original Marlin waffle recoil pad. Its in very good shape with some honest handling marks on the wood stock. I am told this rifle was made in the 1970's. The rifle and muzzle has no bluing loss and there is no rust anywhere that I can see.

They have told me they would take $900 cash.

What do you guys think?

If it's a 444 it shouldn't be marked as a 1895, I don't believe.

I could be wrong, never had a 444 but friends have had a few over the years.
Being a pre safety I doubt you could lose money tho.

There are 4 generations of 444's none are marked 1895 and none are on 1895 frames they are on 336 frames. And if you don't know the difference, turn in your card and get off this board.

And the 1895 action is just a hollowed out 336 action

A 70's .444 Marlin @ $900 shipped in what sounds to be VG+ condition is a good deal IMO...

Well, no, but what's your point? Just wanted to display your ignorance? Mission accomplished.

Turn in your card as you leave.

Is 1895 the strongest Marlin action?
The 1895 is a more heavily modified 336 action, but not in any way that increases strength. In fact, the 1895 is the weakest 336 action made, because a significant amount of material has to be removed to accommodate the .45-70 cartridge

Gold star for you. You shot down your own arguement! What a maroon. That is why the 444 is built on 336 action and not 1895

Nice bait and switch. You told me I was wrong about the 1895 being a hollowed out 336 action. I wasn't wrong. And since you can't handle that I've showed everybody where you were wrong you're now trying to change the original argument. You're a petulant child.

And the 444, and 1895, are both 336 actions. Read the article and learn something. You're always trying to talk leverguns but you don't understand them well enough to be in these discussions. Sit down, [bleep] up, and take notes. Come back when you know what you're talking about

More lies from mooseturd.


I didn't bait and switch anything. Your the one whose trying to change history. The threads are here. People can read for themselves.

I NEVER said the 1895 was a "hollowed out:" 336. You did. And you can't be more wrong. But you try.

1895's and 336's start from COMPLETELY. DIFFERENT FORGINGS from the start. The 336 is much stronger, and that is why it was used for the 444
