I keep getting beat out by Bullseye so thought I would see if anyone is interested. Please "shoot" me a message if you have one available.

right, and it was purchased by Bullseyeman before he could say he'd take it, which is what he was referencing above.

My recommendation for buying Marlins, look for either a "JM" gun (those born before Marlin was purchased by Freedom Arms/Remington around late 2008), or more recently since Ruger purchased what was left after that debacle. To determine year of manufacture subtract the first two digits of the serial number from 100. E.g. my 1895 Guide Gun has a serial beginning with 93, thus it was made in 2007, one of the last of the good ones.

Bumper, Absolutely agree about the JM stamped Marlins. I should've added that to my criteria. Your guide gun is beautiful!

I just picked up a Henry 45-70, my first lever. These levers go fast when they're put up for sale.

Yep, I'm a shooter and not a flipper.

I like to trade some things. I'd been looking for a lever for a year and finally found one. That one is going to be next to my rocking chair. Now I just have to find an 870 and my set is complete

Ruger is manufacturing the Marlin Model 1895. 1894 could come early next year.

Yep, not interested in the 1895's. A Ruger 1894 would be nice.

The prices though... WOW they are expensive.

I have a Marlin 1894c "JM" I used in SASS.
I would really like to put a large loop on it.
At one time I even consider having the barrel bobbed.
