this item is not mine nor anyonoe i know. i recieve no endorsment from the seller. the posting of this link/ picture is for information only and not meant in anyway to compete or distracte from the classifieds on this webs site.

I had already seen it and was wondering why they would sell it too. The only negative (TO ME) is the mounted peep sight. That gun should easily command $500+.

well, unless it was 100% NIB it doesnt matter if its factory correct. i dont understand how someone set it up with a peep (SMART) and then i didnt get hunted.

The peep is not necessairly a negative. Marlins were drilled and tapped until recently, so one could remove the sight and put the filler screws in and no one would know it was ever there. I like the peep for rield use myself.

I have a Marlin Trapper, made in 1998. It has the same 16 1/4 inch barrel. It is chambered in 44 mag. It is my truck gun. It has accounted for many coyote in the last 9 years,
