I might be having real memory problems, but maybe ya'll can correct me if I'm out of it.
Did Mossberg back when , offer a lever gun that looked a whole lot like a Marlin?

That came to me again when with the Mossberg made known of the of their new 464 lever .30.30 .....

Thanks ya'll ................................Mutt

Yes, they did.

It looked like a Marlin as far as the appearance of the lever mechanism, but when the lever was cycled down, the trigger assembly came down with it.

Mutt,

The olders Mosberg leverguns were usually called a "472", I believe. I believe they were all carbines, with round, 20" barrels, and, often, pistol-grip stocks. "473" is a variation on the 472, and there was one that had a "6" in the mix of model numbers. Mossberg sold a "Roy Rogers" edition, complete with Roy's & Trigger's signatures!

Now, they also sold a .22LR levergun, the "Palomino". It was NOT the same as the 472-series.

Hi, Mutt! Nice to see you're still hangin' around.

Hang onto yore hat, Mutt - next year, Mossberg's gonna do it in a .22 levergun again, too.

And - you get one guess what that new model number's gonna be.
(Hint: It's also gonna be "464")

I've got an OLD Mossberg 472 30/30 I picked up from a pawn shop for $125.00 in decent shape. As mention it has a lever/trigger like a BLR, and a bolt like a 336, and the butt stock is attached with a single long bolt like a shotgun butt so no upper/lower tangs. It also has a hammer block safety lever on left side of receiver. It's a tad funky but so is the rest of the rifle design so kind of cool in it's own way. It's the only levergun I own that's scoped but that's because the scope mount hole plugs were missing, and I had an extra 336 scope base and ols 4x scope handy to plug up the holes.

Yes , I have one also, mine has a crescent butt.
I can work the lever from my shoulder better than any other centerfire I have ever shot. I have never figured out why.

Very well thought out modern design...No wonder it didn't sell..

Mossberg had an old levergun in a display case at their booth at the NRA show and meetings in Louisville this weekend. Model 7 IIRC. Cool looking little levergun!

In fact, there were a lot of leverguns at the show!!!
