1976 Marlin 444S
Minty condition with fantastic wood
Excellent blueing
Excellent bore
I traded for this rifle just a year ago, because after buying a 336 in 35Rem in Dec of 2021, I thought I just had to have a pre lock Marlin in 444S. I realize now, that at my age I will probably never hunt...
Just thought I would post up on a source for Kimber rifle thread protectors. Matches the color of the Kimber barrels pretty darn close. They have all the different thread sizes. Mine is 7/16x28 for a 7mm-08 mountain ascent.
$12.95 + $3.65 shipping. It’s from Hughes Precision company in...
For those that have the 84m MA, which one piece Tally mounts are you using, low or Med?
I will be mounting a Vx-3HD 1.5-5x20, and would like to go with low, but want to make sure the bolt will clear with low mounts. Thanks in advance.
By the way, the stain on the butt stock is not nearly as bad...
Well, cutting them down is more common than I expected. I think I’ll start at 20” and see how it handles and shoots. I can alway go another inch or two later. Thanks for all the input.

I have a used MA in 7mm-08 coming from a Montana store, thanks to a fellow Rokslide member. I’m curious to find out if anyone has cut their barrel down to say 20”, and if so, did it affect accuracy, or make the rifle unbalanced? I really like the Adirondack with the 18” barrel, but very seldom...
I just picked up a used Mountain Ascent in 7mm-08 that has the brake, but is missing the thread protector. I know there was a member here that was machining these, and they were much better looking than the factory one. Does anyone know the members name, or if he is still even making these?
If...
I would like to give a special Thank you to mt100gr, for supplying me with the name and tel# of the dealer who had the MA in 7mm-08. After inquiring about the rifle, they sent me numerous pictures including any flaws on the rifle. The worst flaw was a couple of stains on the bottom side of the...
Not mine, but there is a Mathew’s switchback for sale on 24hourcampfire all set up with sight, quiver, stabilizer etc for $350. Maybe the best bow Mathew’s ever made.
