GOT to stop this!
Back in '88(?) I had a Marlin Model 9, camp carbine, in 9mm. Sweet little booger! Quite accurate too. Federal Hydra Shocks gave 2 inch 100 yard groups.
Went back to Cabelas, and I see a camp carbine in the gun room. Probably a 9mm thinks I. But the magazine was skinny and silver, stamped " Marlin Cal. 45 Auto"
DIVINE POOP! A Model 45?! ALWAYS wanted a .45 ACP carbine. Don't exactly know why...
The asking was $899.99. True Gun Values has these selling,, not asking, from $800, in 80% condition. To $1500 for n.i.b.
This one's n.i.b... Not a trace of fouling ANYWHERE and the bluing on wear surfaces is 100%. Not a mark, ding, or defect anywhere. And, the checkered stock is the " DELUXE" model.
I ordered a 21lb recoil spring and new recoil buffers. The original buffer is pristine, but not to be trusted. When they fail, VERY bad things happen...
As the 10/22 is the Ruger .44's little brother, the Model 9/45 is the Model 60's big brother.
DANG did I swan dive into this time?!
BUT! Best to not tempt fate too much...
