Have had two or three .44 Marlins and even the best of them was so-so although one shot the Lyman 215 SWCGC pretty well. The slow twist and Marlin's propensity for barrels with loose dimensions and tight spots never helped. I've always thought a properly twisted, dimensionally uniform .430" barrel from even a semi-decent maker could turn one of those little guns into a real tack driver.


Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
