Wild Walt. 92206 Posted September 8, 2024 Share Posted September 8, 2024 SPF The Carty and Spur Marlins are the absolute best Marlins for Cowboy Action. I am not shooting a lot of matches lately and have not shot B-Western or this rifle in years, so it is time to send it off to a new home. This rifle has been flawless in its operation, and has been equally reliable with round nose bullets and TC bullets loaded shorter than 1.430. It is in great shape. All of the screws are in great shape and not deformed at all, and I always used a different buttstock, so this buttstock is in very nice shape. All of the bluing is in very nice shape as well. It is obviously a JM Marlin. A FTF deal in NE Indiana would be preferred so that the buyer could personally inspect and/or shoot it. I would gladly provide ammo for a test fire. I would be glad to ship as well as long as your FFL holder will accept shipment from a private individual with a copy of my ID provided. Asking price is $2000 $1800 OBO plus shipping.

KidScott Posted September 10, 2024 Share Posted September 10, 2024 Howdy Wild Walt, which one do the work on this Marlin? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Walt. 92206 Posted September 11, 2024 Author Share Posted September 11, 2024 I am not sure if you are asking who did the work? Cowboy Carty of Western Gunworks did the action job. https://www.facebook.com/people/Western-Gun-Works/100063633086433/ For those that don't know, his conversions are the considered the best of the best for the Marlin short strokes. He completely reworks the action, and that stroke is super short on these. I think that he even reshapes the trigger. The reliability is incredible. The only thing that you is the OAL. This rifle needs to have the 38 specials loaded at 1.450 or shorter. I usually loaded 1.430 to be safe. I have found that it reliably feeds all of the bullet types that I have tried (TC, RN, RNFP). Not only that, you can open the lever with your little finger, so it is super fast. He is also still in business, and if it ever malfunctions, he will be there for a quick repair. The only Marlin job that is close is the Widdermaker jobs, and they retain the normal length of throw for the lever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
