Item Description: Manufacture in 1974. Re-blued and stock refinished by Randy Henson of Acworth in 2016. An error was made when replacing the Marlin bullseye but it has been fixed. There is a gouge in the top of the receiver that could not be repaired prior to re-bluing, it and the couple of character marks in the forearm tell this gun’s history. All these are seen in the pictures. The action and trigger are uncharacteristically crisp and smooth.

I would be interested in trading this rifle towards the following plus cash to equal $600 (or close to it):
Ruger LCRX .38 3” barrel,
S&W 360 or 360 PD, or
Ruger American .22 lr with threaded barrel.

OR straight trade for one of the following:
JM stamped Marlin 1894 .44 mag,
Howa 1500 .308 with 20” threaded barrel,
Remington 700 .308 Magpul with threaded 5-R barrel, or
Remington 700 5-R Gen-2 threaded


I'm willing to meet within a reasonable distance. Feel free to ask any questions you may have about this functioning piece of Marlin history.

Very nice looking rifle. It's 44 years old, so it should have some character. In a great caliber.

Thank you. If only it could talk to tell it’s past. I really like the thinner forend of the older Marlins. I’ve got a couple other, younger Marlin big bores that have the now common forend wood and while still nice they just aren’t the same.
