Purchased at Ramsey Outdoors NJ from a very new sales person behind the counter ! When dad came home with rifle 1st thing he said was , told the clerk I wanted that Marlin and the clerk replied I'll get one out of the back and dad said no I want that one . So it came off the wall and it came home with him . I often wonder what became of that clerk when the boss came in? I think I was 9yrs old at that time (73 now) He hunted that gun till I could and he gifted it to me and it has been a freezer filler till I got into BP guns . It still has a pristine bore , wood grain to kill for /factory tapped according to dad ,I purchased scope /base /rings for him and then me . The stock is custom from the factory , don't remember the stock supplier (Bishop ?)(forgot I'm old) $ 1100.00 USPS money order/1st take it /PM shipped UPS /insured to your FFL from a non FFL holder /additional cost for me going to an FFL /Photos upon request (can't up load on this site)just supply your email and will send directly to you / includes dies /brass and what ever cast boolits I have left Thanks Ed Spoken for pending /Thanks Ed
