Great deal on JM Marlin .357 in Washington state!
It's got a crossbolt but still an excellent deal at $599.00!

Yeah, that's just to GOOD to pass on.

Yea someone is going to get a very good deal.
It would no doubt be much more if it were pre - crossbolt but it is a JM.

Don't you need to make an RV service call or parts pickup or something RV related up there in WA?

I've had several crossbolt JMs and they were every bit as good as any of the pre-crossbolt JMs I've had. In fact, had a 1997 357 with ballad rifling that outshot any 357 rifle I've ever owned. Period. Don't pass up a good deal on a JM 357 because of the cross bolt. I actually liked the cross bolt when it came time to unload ammo from the mag tube. If you don't like the cross bolt in the field, just disable it with a small O ring on the left side to leave the gun in firing mode. Simple, easy fix, no need to take the gun apart and buy anything else.

I'm not - it's the distance factor.
The crossbolt is not an issue but even if I were closer and did buy it would come apart for my 'obligatory' cleaning and inspection as I do with any gun I buy - especially used. And while apart I would turn, fit and color a crossbolt replacement 'plug' while I was at it.
