https://www.armslist.com/posts/11002049 ... ifle----jm Here it is Randy. If you are interested let me know I know a guy who works there and I could put eyes on it for you if you wish.
Definitely not a bad price, good lookin rifle, made in '71.
Al my next rifle will be a 38-55 of some sort.
I have a friend in Texas that has a Marlin Cowboy with a 26" octagon that may come to Tenn. this year.
I think I can get it at a reasonable price, I just need to save a little more. ;)
Then again maybe Henry will build a case hardened version. :o

No Problem Randy. I have one of those Marlins in 38-55. I like it a lot. At one time thought about getting another but don't know why I need two of them so just held off. Besides that the price of them now is double what I paid for mine.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

I loaded some 45's earlier some 190 gr SWC's and some 200 gr RFN, both with 7.4 grs. of Red dot.
I did make up a couple of the SWC's first just to make sure they were gonna cycle through the Cowboy.
Maybe get to try 'em out tomorrow, coming a flood at the moment.

Guess I'll get back over there and load up some 44's for the BBB.

Hey Tom, I've never used 2400 in the 45 colt, but my 45 colt (one book) shows 15.4 grs. with a 250 gr.
