I just got this a couple months ago and have to let it go. Too many irons in the fire and decided to go a different route. Nice shape. There are a couple marks in the finish that look like water marks. Nothing into the wood. One small rust spot on the inside of the lever. Otherwise very clean. I have lots of pictures. $900.00 shipped to lower 47. [img:left] [/img] [img:left] [/img] [img:left] [/img] Lots of brass and bullets also available. Thanks

Has to be. The .356 has not been in production for many years, and they are a rare bird. If you're even thinking about one, grab this one fast. It's liable to be a long time before you see another at all, much less near this price.

Always remember that you are unique, just like everyone else.

Yes. Pretty sure they only made about 2000 of these in the early '80's. Well built little thumper.

I remember the old Marlin catalogs of the early 80s . Thought at time as a youngster this would be the ultimate deer gun in a lever.

I'm sure this rifle is on a lot of bucket lists for those that enjoy shooting a variety of Marlin lever action rifles. It took me a while to find the one I've got, and if memory serves me right, I bought it from a member here on the fire!
Teeder - If the buyer doesn't want the brass and ammo or doesn't want it all, shoot me a PM after the sale as I would be interested in the brass and ammo.

There were less than 2500 of these made. Great woods gun. I have one and would not sell mine for this price.

A couple people have asked about mft date. 1985 I was under the impression that these were made from 1980-1983. I did see one on here not long ago that seller said was an 1984 make with a serial number that began with 16. Your serial number begins with a 15?
