Marlin made one in early- mid 90's (?). I have one and I see them on gun broker every now and then. Mine is great. But with .17, hard to go back to .22 mag.
We pulled one deep into the Cat Island swamp years ago, no easy task. In December 1973 it flooded and was under 18 feet of water. When the water went down there was 1/2 inch of mud coating everything inside. But we cleaned it out and used it a few more years. Pulled a "Swat" truck along side...
So every one has a bayonet lug, huh? Did any come without and you added?
Very nice collection, thanks for the picture.
I have two SP's.
Have father's SN from WWII and it was SP- Pacific theatre, from two pictures can't tell if it has bayonet lug but some didn't, I think.
Thanks
Hebert's has always been nice to me and good pricing too. I just bought a Kahr CW40 for a gift for a friend from them, noone else in town had one. Nice to deal with, for years, not just the other day either.
I bought one because there was always plenty ammo. Took it to South Dakota in June for prairie dogs, I liked it. Killed maybe 6 pigs so far w/it in LA. Some say 2000 rounds then a new barrel ($300 reportedly). I try and shoot under 4000 fps ammo. Nice light handy little rifle.
