Re: 1895 Marlin 444 question.

I have a bunch (11) of different calibers in Marlin centerfires and my 444's are the most accurate.

Re: Happy Birthday Dan 444.

Thanks, 1894. The foot of snow that was on the ground is gone now (rain & warmer weather). I'm set-up with a ground blind this year. Have only seen does (some biguns') & a couple of spike bucks so far. I don't shoot the does, because they keep the bucks around :D :D . I'm out there daily.......

Re: Cabelas Gun Library find Marlin 32 Special

With the 24" barrel, I think that is a 336A model. I have a 1952 336A that is very accurate with Speer & Hornady 170g, as BTB .323"-170g cast.

Good find!
