And just think Dan, how much of that tax money will help abort 8 month olds. Perhaps it will go towards the $27 million your [bleep] state has put towards helping illegals with college education, but blocking the money to help the children of deceased veterans.

He has a SxS of mine to case color and fit a Silvers style recoil pad on. He has had it for months and advised they will contact me when they start and for half of required funds.

Does anyone know where I can find a real carbon steel piccatiny rail for a Marlin 444?
The one I have is aluminum and we cant't seem to find a true carbon steel rail,I want it CCH to match the rings and receiver...

Nope! It's a Marlin that is scary accurate I'm leaving the scope I've already discussed this with the guys at Turnbull and they agree with my choice. The 1892 Turnbull custom will wear a tang sight so that will be the classic look you want

3 shoots at 100 yds with the scope .444

Dan,

I think these would look a lot nicer, function as well and can be CC.

I have a complete 1892 receiver manufactured in 1893 originally chambered in 44-40. I have the orginial mag tube and spring but I think the wood was replaced and it needs a barrel. I’d like to get the wharehouse and Winchester letter to choose between having it put back to factory configuration but I maybe would like it to be done in a trapper style....I’m just not sure. I’ll need wood (most likely) and a barrel. The action is tight and complete.

What would a bigger rebuild cost from Turnbull (ballpark nothing fancy or checkering but maybe CCH) or are there any other recommendations for smiths that could do it right? I really should get the original specs first but I’m a cart before the horse kind of guy 😁

Thanks guys and beautiful rifles all!

PS.....if I don’t go completely original is .44mag too much for the action? Is there a lot of work to make a 44-40 into a 44mag? What would you guys do with an old 1892 made in 1893?

I have a model 53 in 32-20 made in 1925 that I’ll leave worn and honest.

Not sure on cost contact Turnbull and they will guide you and give you a quote
Also contact Frank http://sycamorehilldesigns.com/index.php they do excellent work and will likely be less expensive

I was given a price of $750.00 as the cost of a full CCH job on my 444 Marlin.
I didn’t get a price on a piece of regular wood.

Thanks Dan. I’ll get moving on this project soon I hope, once life settles down a little. Appreciate the advice. 👍
