Can anyone help me find a gun

Has anyone seen a used Marlin 1895 with a 22 inch barrel in 45-70 or in .444 Marlin at any shops lately?

I think you mean 1895. Looks like Turners only has the 18.5".

Why not use Gunbroker?

Why not use Gunbroker?

Was hoping to not have to pay an arm and a leg to the local FFL to receive it.

On a 45-70 your not really gaining much from a longer barrel as far as velocity or accuracy. Also most of the 22 inch 1895's I've seen in 45-70 come with micro groove rifling and are not as desirable as the Ballard rifling especially if shooting cast bullets. I prefer a 16-18 barrel especially since it's a pretty short range rifle, I'd say 200yds max after that the projectile drops rather quickly. I don't own a .444 but I do have 7 45-70's and a .450 marlin among other leverguns. I think that .444 will shoot flatter but not by much

I saw a 45-70 Marlin at City Arms East a few weeks back, not sure of the model or bbl length.

If your local I'd be willing to meet up at a range and let you shoot a few, I have from 16 to 26 inch barreled 45-70's. I'm in Los Angeles

Thank you for the offer! Sadly I'm stuck in Concord.

I saw a used JM Marlin 1895 in 45-70 today at Barnwood Arms in Ripon, I think it was marked $699.

Javinthewrench: I don't usually like .45-70's but that one looks cool!

If you need a reasonable FFL for a transfer check out Brooks Arms and Ammunition in Manteca. He just does transfers but I have used him several times with zero issues. Great guy to deal with. B.
