1. Is this rifle worth the price?
2. Is the .45LC readily available?
3. Would I be wiser to wait for a good deal on .44 magnum or .357?
Thanks for you input.

Yep, and make sure to check it for feeding issues. Cycle it fast and cycle slowly and make sure the ammo feeds without issues.rangerider7 wrote:Good price but make sure the magazine tube is tight. Cimarron has had problems with the quality of their 92s. Make sure you check it out fully.
+1 on all three of those...Nate C. wrote:1. Buy it!
2. More or less!
3. Might as well buy it now. Odds are you will end up with one of each if you hang around here very long.

The Mare's Leg "extender" hasn't happened yet & won't.DPris wrote:If you should chance to be seen in the US by the wrong people with a stock extender in place to render it a shoulder-fired weapon, you may face severe penalties of the incarceration & financial variety.
Besides the which, if ATF starts to see enough of this, they'll kill off the whole non-Class III mare's leg "pistol" concept for the rest of us.

Glad you got yourself a good .22 rifle.
A little FYI:
The 9422's were NEVER modified for a cross bolt safety, or any safety of any kind. They retained the original half cock safety action from introduction till they were discontinued in 2005. Where this CB safety misinformation came from I have no idea.
Just my erroneous assumption. Thanks for the clarification!
The checkering is a love it or not thing, it didn't affect the quality of the rifle. But I don't like it either.
The Win 9422 can develop ejection problems if the bolt gets dirty and crudded up around the ejector and extractors. The extractors hold the case till the ejector boots it out. If they get dirty enough they can't grip the rim, you'll have a bit of trouble. I disassemble mine every time I'm finished shooting it. I make sure the bolt and the inside of the action is clean.
Again, thanks. I will pay attention to this in future.
Marlin 39s were modified for the CB safety, but NOT the Win 9422.
As for getting your Marlin 357 smoothed up to match the 9422, forget it. You're comparing apples to bananas. The Marlin will smooth itself out in due time. Taking it apart and cleaning and removing any burrs you find is really all it needs.
Appreciate the input!

Good to know!Nath wrote:9422, excellent choice sir. The bullet lube gets everywhere and fouls the extractor. Also lube and powder residue can make the chamber sticky.
The bolt assembly comes put easy and a good wash with WD40 on a clean rag does wonders.
