:) They were only $99 bucks 40 years ago and there still worth |
|
around $99 if you still have the clip. I do. This monster has a |
|
36" barrel and a tremendous full choke and only weighs about 5.5 |
|
pounds. It was made to shoot geese WAY OUT, but came out just as |
|
the switch to steel shot. The extra length does no good for |
|
steel and the light weight made it kick like a mule. I've put it |
|
in the safe for years but before that I used it as my only |
|
shotgun. It actually makes for a GREAT slug gun and will swat a |
|
turkey at 80 yards with the right load. It has sights on it so |
|
you can AIM it. I'm thinking about having a rifled barrel made |
|
for it and using it again for deer. |
|
Any one have a Marlin rifled barrel on hand? |

I remember these old bad boys! You are right...they will sling |
|
a load down range. Great guns...then and now. |

The Good Old Marlin Goose Gun!! I never owned one, but always |
|
wanted one as a kid. They did sky bust geese with those long |
|
barrelled bolt guns. Very cool to hear they are still out there. |
