I especially like that one with that M6 tactical light/laser on it. I'd like to have one in .45-70. I wonder if they'd let me carry one when I get my CHL???;) LOL. It'd be one INTIMIDATING defense piece wouldn't it???

Anyone up on the "rules"...know there is a minimal fee licnece for some antiques (Like the "auto and Burgler" SXS 20ga), but what's the paper work for a modern made "sawed off"?

OK...found the answer...class 3 stuff.

I WANT ONE, beautiful pieces.

i know it's the law, but if marlin made them and sold them as pistols, they would be prefectly legal, but as it is it they require class III licenses. (i think). well, you know where i'm goin' with this so i won't rant about silly laws because all of you know just as well as i.

Very nice! Reminds me of Steve McQueen in the TV show Wanted Dead or Alive.

I have a short length of pull anyway. That top one should fit me just fine. reflex264

color ? UOh
Gezz mine have me in nicker's and there black and white .
In my young we went to disney Land the Sub ride
Was still being built and it's a small world ride had just opened that year i was 9 then do the math

I want the one from the #3 pic in a 45-70 for my birthday Monday. Maybe my gf will buy it for me? NOT!!! Oh well, I can dream...And then go get it myself. What's a few more extra shifts?

Dont mean to stray from the positive feedback here, but my question is- why would someone cut down a perfectly good levergun like that?
Maybe im just missing something here but besides being used in a drive by shooting, what would be the purpose of a chopped down Marlin?

Conversation piece, paperweight, wallhanger, wrist wrencher, eardrum remover, flame thrower. Did I miss any?

Just plain cool to have? looks awesome, i personally like the one with the tactical light on it...

Well, I guess they are kinda cool looking, but I dont think I'll be takin a saw to mine anytime soon. Unless $#!t really hits the fan and I have to wear it under a trench coat or something.

A former co-worker of mine used to work outside of Juneau, and he carried something similar to these in a 45-70 because he got out of work late at night, and bears were known to be roaming about at those hours. The cut-down rifle was easy to carry, though shooting took some getting used to. He had a scar on his forehead to attest to that. That's about the only "practical" use I can see for them. It's also mentioned on the Web site. In my case, I just want one...

flame thrower.

I wonder how big a flame that would throw out there while shooting at night??? I'll bet it would be so cool to see.

I think the idea for these types of rifles are for bush pilots. These are probably a lot cheaper than WWG's takedown Marlins, while not exceeding the takedown packing length.

Space is a premium, at times, in the small cubs and other planes that a lot of folks use to access the backcountry.

I'm not sure how much accuracy you could get from such an extreme cut down rifle though. Looks like it would be tough to sight. It's probably to be used for a close range protection rifle?

For me it's becouse of were and what i hunt
in SE Alaska .
The brush ( Blue berrie's ) is so thick that walking
through it make a long barrel usless.
before my GS it was a 10 ga. sawed off..
