Title: Remember these old 44mag Carbines?
Post by: shovelhead69 on May 17, 2013, 05:12:41 PM

Here is my old 70's Ruger 44mag Carbine. Tube fed and just as smooth as silk!

Nice lookin rifle :).

Marlin's still making 1894 models in 44mag.  Price last I checked was between $400 and $650.

They had a limited run of 41mag 1894's... hard to get for a cheap price :( (my old man wants one heh).

Ruger has one of these on Gun Broker right now http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=340586488 (http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=340586488)

They also made these in a lever action for  a short time also.  They pop up on gun auctions sites now and again.

I have a total of 9 Ruger firearms right now and have about 10 more that are on my bucket list! Some are hard to find and some are just basic items like a Ruger Mark 111 with a bull barrel.

I have had a Glock fail, a Sig fail etc but have yet to have any Ruger fail. I may just be lucky but then again with the others crapping out on me, I dont think so. I own a G26 and a G30S so not brand racist.

While on that topic I have never had a Beretta fail either.

And thanks  abbafandr  as I didnt know that they came in a lever action. Dang, just made my bucket list!

There is a company that makes an AR upper in 10mm.  That is on my short list.

Now that is very intriguing. 1-16 twist as well and they have been getting good reviews. I love matching caliber rifle-pistol combos!
