    The 'original' Guide gun levers were no screaming hell either.... Way too small. Glad to hear Remington sharpened up their act....
    The 2nd thing to be up graded on mine was the lever. Right after the sh!tty sights. It's funny how "New in the Box" is becoming curse words with some manufacturers..................................... .......

    They did bring back the 336Y the 16" .30-30 youth model. I am a big guy and had no problems with the LOP. But I like a short LOP on some guns.

    Me too, but mine goes way back. My cousin was thinning out his collection a little and when he asked if there was anything I was interested in, the '94 in 44-40 was my choice. Sentimental reasons.

    You're right about the levers on the older guide guns being way too small. No sharp edges to speak of but with the 'warmer' loads using some of the heavier bullets, because of size and shape, it can be a little rough on the fingers.



    For the bigger heavier calibers, I much prefer the size and configuration of what's on my 444S.

    Marlin was not bought by Remington but by Freedom Group the same group of businessmen that bought Remington and Montana, and in their efforts to streamline these companies have lost all concept of quality control.

    In fact, these companies did not even have separate booths at SHOT. They were all under the Freedom Group banner.
    Very sad.
