AD serial prefix makes it a 1968 if my research is correct

AD puts it early 1968
I think the pad hurts it a bit but otherwise very nice!

The 444's in that era came with a pad & the pad in the photo appears to be original. Nice looking rifle!

Assuming a tight but smooth action, good bore and proper function, anything under $750 is a good deal! It should have a 24 inch barrel. I am glad I have been away from my computer for a few days! I already own eight 444s! I sure as heck don't need another. But this one is tempting.
To whomever bought it - Great Grab!!!!!!! Congrats!!

$550 to $650 in this area, depending on condition. Buddy sold one at a gun show here earlier this year for $600

CHL, just curious, was your buddy's rifle a pre-1971 with a 24 inch barrel?

Was at the NRA Show in Indianapolis 2 weeks ago and they had the 444 Marlin on display at the Marlin/ Remington booth. I asked the Rep when they would be available and he said now. He said several distributors already had them. I haven’t heard of anyone seeing them in the gun racks anywhere yet.
