Get the Marlin, money well spent.

 

I have a older JM Marlin in .44 Magnum. It has the 20 inch octagon barrel. I do not use it for CAS, it is a woods gun carried in a scabbard under my right knee when on my horse. It is tuned and shoots any flavor of .44 mag. They exist just have to look around for one.....

Listen to Ramos... but buy a JM stamped pre Remlin model. PM me if interested.

I have bought and sold maney Marlins .

Personally I never liked them .

 

I have three slick 92s in 44 mag that I love.

Everyone says the 92 is slow .

Not true .

 

The 92 can be run faster then most shooters can shoot.

Look up Deuce Stevens Rossi 92 on YouTube.

 

I did buy a 73 in 44 special that Im running BP loads threw.

Alot easier to clean BP out of a 73 then the 92.

 

But IMHO you should look at a 92 in 44 mag .

The 1873 Winchester action isn't strong enough for .44 Magnum.

Uberti makes the 73 in 44 mag .

So it must pass standered presher specs.

 

I would not run a stady load of hot 44 mags threw one .

But I would imagine a diet of cowboy loads of 44 mag

it should run for a very long time .

 

But they have them listed on thier website .

Call Cimarron Firearms - (877)749-4861

Cimarron...we have some left I think. Give em a call

The 73 is much stronger than modern folks think. Look up the old torture tests from the 19th century, truly amazing

I got a 73 & a 66 in 44 special Tom, nicer cartridge than mag I think.

Me too

I have a 66 and a 73 in 44 special.

Love them both

I have three 92s in 44 mag .

If I was to choise any rifle in 44 mag ,

It would be the 92 .

Run them down to light 44 specials,

Or Hot 44 mag .

The 92 will do it all.

 

I look at the 66 and 73 as sexy 44 special rifles .

[Cholla Hill Tirador]

Dang right they're out there....

 

 

 

...not even close to for sale, though.

 

Regarding the strength of the 1873 action, I've not seen a single documented case of an action destroyed, but over on the CAS forum there are a couple of pics of toggle link actions that were over loaded. In each case, the action survived intact, the barrel, not so much.

Great deal on ableammo.com for the carbine.
