Re: OT: Do you carry a knife or two?
I always carry a knife, have for the past 40+ years. Also carry a Leatherman of one size or another. Current daily carry is a Charlie May fixed blade of 3 inches, at work it is in my bag, Knives of Alaska folder in my pocket. I refuse to fly anywhere now so being without a knife is a non-issue.

Re: Marlin is going back to the factory....again
I have had problems with my 1894 44 mag bought NIB in Jan 08. I have yet to fire 30 round through it. After a couple of trips to the Canadian warranty shop we have finally concluded that the problem is a "soft" lever which bends out of alignment just by working the action. I am awaiting a ...

Thanks all for your input ref Lee dippers. I have an RCBS 10-10 Scale that was given to me so weighing charges isn't a problem. It looks like a good piece of equipment.

There's a small screw on the contact face of the barrel set...........is it protruding and preventing it from closing on the receiver face? There is also an adjustment lock on the same pice that allows the barrel to be snugged up......maybe the previous owner snugged it up too tight? I second that ...

Thanks for all the nice words! I appreciate that from fine levergun gurus! The glass bedding of the stocks weather proofs them. It also tightens the wood to metal fit.

One lever?
I'm torn between the Win 94 in 44 mag I have and the Marlin in 444 I want. Of course, my son who shoots would have the Win 94 30/30 and would let me borrow it now and again.
Likely the 44 mag would win out as it is arguably more versatile than the 444 for my use.
