My Marlin 444 is finally finished!

[JeffR]

Got this off a fellow CGN’er a while back and finally got everything I wanted done to it.

• XS ghost ring sights
• XS scout scope mount
• Leupold 2.5 x 28 IER scout scope
• Leupold QRW rings
• Limbsaver pad
• Wild West bear proof ejector
• Numrich Large loop lever
• Simply Rugged cartridge cuff

I think that should just about do it for this one. Now off to the range this weekend

Well I guess that would be a tacticalized lever gun.

How does that scope mount attach?

 

[JeffR]

Using the factory holes for scope mounts in the back, and the dovetail slot for the factory sights in the front.

Tactical?? No flashlights or red dots on this. Just a scope.

How much did that large loop lever set you back if you do not mind me asking????

 

[JeffR]

I haven't seen the visa bill yet, so I don't know what the shipping and exchange price is, but the lever was listed for $81 and I paid $15 today for tax and duty.

 

[heavyBullet]

Thats cheaper than the hundred and something I been seeing them for.

 

[JeffR]

Ya, I was looking at the Wild west ones for a while, but the $100 US export rules made getting it shipped from the states a pain in the ass, and anyone who stocked it here charged an arm and a leg. This one does require some fitting though, it took me a while with the dremel to get to fit smoothly, and you have to remove the spring catch from the old lever and install it on the new one, but other than that it seems good.

I bet the Rifleman wished he had a .444...............
