Home Forums Lever Action Central Marlin Talk Ok...this is gonna sound like an odd post

But...my cousin is an ROTC teacher in Kingsport Tn. One of his fellow teacher friends passed away within the last month or so and has a bunch of guns that his father-in-law is trying to sell to generate some $ for his family.

Long story made short is that he has a Marlin 444s (that is a 1978 gun by serial #, 2209xxxx) and an 1894 that were in the collection that are pretty nice guns. My cousin took the 39A that he also had.
The 444 is the nicer of the 2. I would say at some point he put a big loop lever on it and there was, what looks to be, the original lever in the gun safe along with it.
I believe that $600 would take the 444 and I started to take the 1894 @ $550 but passed on it. The rifles have no boxes also. The 1894 is a pre-safety model with the gold trigger. Serial # 19164xxx

I told them I would try to help by posting on a couple of hunting websites that I frequent to see if there was any interest there.

If you are interested I can put you in contact with my cousin, who is an ffl holder, if that makes a difference.

Thanks
Chris

$600. is a very fair price on the 444. But I'd rather see you advertise it for $650. which is more of an average sale price for a rifle of this vintage. I'd buy it myself but always perform my hunts with a 30-30 carbine.

For quick sale, I suggest advertise on MarlinOwners.com
