Grrrr and Doh!
The local Cabella's has a rack full of Marlin 1894s in 44 Mag.
I am fightin' me-self hard not to go and make an impulse purchase. Grrr.
On that subject, I bought a new pig-sticker from BudK the other day, an 'M48 Kommando Talon Survival Spear'.
When UPS delivered it, I had it out of the box for less than a minute before I was bleeding.
Doh!

Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.

....I can't unequivocally deny that such a practice, when done properly, wouldn't possibly have the effect of not slowing healing - under the proper conditions, of course...

Nice spear. I'm a fan of the early technology. Awesome permanent wound channel.
What's the twist rate on those barrels?
That would be the deciding factor for me.
44 mag starts to be the real deal after about 355 grains . . .

Couldn't you duct tape that spear to a Marlin carbine, making it Taticool.

Re: Grrrr and Doh!
Hello Marlin just called, your 1894 in .44mag is ready for pick-up... :)

it's a matter of perspective.
to me 45/70 starts to be the real deal at 405gr, so there is an area of overlap that makes the 44/355 carbine so attractive if it has a 1/xx barrel. The marlin 1/33 twist curtails a lot of fine loads. I shoot 405gr in my redhawk 44 and 525gr in my 45/70. 44 mag can't match that end of the envelope.
The 45/70 145gr collar button bullet is an example of going from the sublime to the ridiculous, although that setup has its proponents. I need to try some just so I did. Imagine shooting a bullet that's the same weight as M80 ball?
Lightest I ever loaded in 45/70 is 325gr, the same weight I hunted with in Alaska from a ruger 44. It always struck me as funny, shooting revolver mid-weights in my guide gun.
A 44 mag carbine is a powerhouse, even with 250 gr loads. My comment above just concerns the common slow-twist barrels marlin usually puts on 44s, but the gun is handier than a guide gun.

After reading that G&A article, I would probably run out and buy one of these Marlins - got to find out how the other half lives sometime right?

Re: Grrrr and Doh!
If I could afford one it would be mine. It would share 265 grain Hornady bullets with my 444. That bullet works long and short in my opinion and would shine for the 44 Mag and rifle hunting.
