FS Marlin 1894 .44 magnum. Barrel is 16.25" Manufactured 1979. I believe this rifle started life as a 20" barreled gun and someone had the barrel shortened to "trapper" length. It looks like it is factory made, but I can't find where marlin made any non ported, trapper length 1894s in 1979. Anyway, it's a great trapper length .44 mag without the annoying ports. It has the micro grove barrel and the bore is bright and shiny and the crown and chamber are excellent. I haven't shot this gun ,but I have run some factory ammo through the action and it feeds and ejects smoothly. The metal is a solid 95+ with just a few light marks. The stock has a few handling marks, but no cracks or deep gouges. (see pics) This will make someone a great truck gun. I consider this a shooter grade gun, not a collector since I believe it has been altered from the factory configuration. If in fact it is a factory gun then I'm way under-priced, but I don't think that's the case. Price is $675 + a flat $35 shipped to your FFL in the lower 48. Alaska and Hawaii pay actual shipping. Please make sure your FFL will accept a shipment from an individual. If the gun has to ship from an FFL, add $35 to the total. Offers are always welcome, but the first I'll take it, gets it.

Nice. If it was threaded, it'd be all mine!

I paid a hell of a lot more for my Marlin trapper length 44 Mag. This is a good deal.

Is it the original stock? It doesn't have a bullseye.

Seems like someone put swivel through it. Same thing happened to my cowboy limited ![[Linked Image]](http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll25/daud81us/IMG_4246_zpsejfsie57.jpg)

Cool gun..... I'm really surprised somebody hasn't snatched it up.
Btw... you can get a brand new bullseye from Midway for $2.99!
For some reason there are a number of home-style gunsmiths that thought the bullseye was where you were supposed to drill the hole to put the rifle stud!
