    Marlin was sold to Remington at some point, Remington made them go down in Quality, Remington went under taking Marlin with them. They are no longer made, therefore more in demand. 

    Some were also limited production calibers or other features such as octagon barrels, special finishes and such.

    I think Ruger bought Marlin in the Remington bankruptcy. It remains to be seen if they bring back the Marlin lever actions.

    As others have said, the Senate will shit can any gun control coming out of the house. Expect Biden/Harris to go the executive order route. These will hopefully be squashed in the federal courts. I do also recall Biden saying he will appoint Beto O'Rourke as his gun violence czar. If you dont remember, Beto is on video stating "Hell Yes, we are going to TAKE your AR-15". The dems are a dangerous anti constitutional party!

    I was at Heritage Guild in Easton PA today.  They had a couple of Ruger PC Carbines in stock (model 19100 - threaded barrel, 17 round mag)

    I asked about buying one and having them keep or discard the magazine and they said they couldn't do it.  Even so, they said the threaded barrel made it illegal in NJ.  I countered that it was only one "evil" feature and much like the pistol grip on ARs, one feature was allowed in NJ.  In any case I couldn't buy it there so I asked about having it shipped to my NJ FFL and they could pin the mag and deal with the barrel "if needed" and Heritage Guild said mag pinning was also illegal in NJ after Dec 18, 2019.

    Also, I tried buying an AR15 stripped lower and they said that too couldn't be sold to me in PA but I could buy it in their NJ branch.

    I am really confused at this point. Anyone really clear on the issues above? ( I think they were wrong about the threaded barrel.  I am not sure about the other points brought up by them.)

    They are right about the receivers, receivers and handguns can only be picked up at an FFL in the state you reside. 

    I think they are wrong about the threaded barrel on the PC and pinning of magazines.

    Stupid Question: If I manage to find one of these online and get it shipped to an FFL here, do I have to contact the FFL to have them weld the brake to make it legal? Or will they do something like that automatically because they have to?

    I usually buy my guns at NJ vendors where this kind of stuff is already done. But with this gun it seems like I may have more luck online.

    I've never used an FFL before so sorry for the noob question. Really hoping to grab one of these the next time they pop up!

    I would reach out to the FFL and let them know what you are ordering, and Make sure that they are willing, as well as are capable of making that particular gun NJ compliant.

    I only use steel in my Pap, SKS and Makarov pistols. Since they are all Russian based, they seem built for it and have no issues.

    I have heard it does cause more wear to chambers, extractors, ejectors. How much? And when it will cause problems? I dont know.

    I would never use steel case in an AR, I have seen two different times at the range where people shooting steel case out of an AR got spent cases jammed in their chamber that the range officers had to bang out with a cleaning rod! It wasnt a pleasant sight!

    22.lr isn't legal to hunt squirrel, rabbit in NJ. Only for fox.

    Groundhog is only for farmer.

    If I interpreted the digest correctly.

    This is correct! No .22 LR for small game, but you can use a .177, .20, or .22 air rifles. Some air rifles are really powerful, almost as much as a real gun!

    You got some good advice from some of the above posters! 

    I have been hunting with an 870 Express 12ga. since the early 90's. Under some wet conditions the finish will get surface rust that easily wipes off with a rag and some gun oil! The metal surfaces still look great and the gun has never failed me!I have a rifled slug barrel, as well as a 28" vent rib barrel. With those, you can do any Jersey hunting.

    Regardless of whether you get an 870 or Mossberg 500, get a 26" or 28" vent rib barrel, the 26" barrel would swing a little faster and be easier handling in the woods, but if you decide to hunt ducks/goose, the 28" may be an overall better choice.  You would want a rifled slug barrel for bear/deer. I would recommend a cantilever scope mount over iron sights. With the cantilever scope mount, your scope is on the barrel and the barrel can be switched out and back with little to no change in zero. I didnt recommend iron sights because hunting hours in NJ for deer are 30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sundown. You will see most deer during this time period at the beginning/end of legal hunting hours. A scope is easier to use during this lower light period! Also, if you do go the scope route, dont buy a cheap scope, a good $150-200 scope will hold up better, have better light gathering than a $40 scope will.

    Good luck, welcome to hunting!

    Pharma lobbyists own his ass.  That's my guess.  I don't know how, but I've always been a pretty good judge of people based on body language.  That dude is a weasel, a very short weasel.

    "Hey, Tony, hold off on that inexpensive effective HCQ treatment for a while, so we can do some trials on more profitable patented shit.  The check is in the mail"

    Or, better yet instead of an effective treatment, a vaccine, that since the Corona Virus is so dangerous, has to be mandatory, and maybe yearly like the flu shot that many get!

    I have been told that Chloroquine works, is generic, and cheap. Dr. Fauci has recently appeared to be pushing Remdesavir, which is expensive, and is also a big proponent of creating a vaccine. I think there is going to be lots of money made out of this pandemic, and it won't be made from treating with Chloroquin!

    Some people vote based on more than one issue.

    That is the problem! 

    1. This legislation is blatantly unconstitutional!

    2. A politicians first responsibility is to the constitution. 

    3. The way a politician treats the constitution and specifically the 2nd Amendment should tell you all you need to know to not vote for that person. 

    4. Every politician supporting gun control will not stop, they want to completely strip your right to own a gun. Take NJ  or example with magazine capacity, there once wasnt a magazine capacity limit, then it went to 15, then to 10, there has even been a 5 round magazine limit bill proposed that went nowhere. You can bet it will be back and passed if the current lawsuit against the 10 round limit is not successful. Do you see where this goes?  

    5. See number 4 above. Everywhere in history and throughout the world where governments turned on their people, it was preceded or in conjunction with civilian disarmament!

    6. The above is all you need to know, vote accordingly!

    Mixed feelings! On one hand it is great that new people are buying guns, and yes, we all should  be encouraging to help and support them.

    On the other hand, it may lead to more gun owners that "Support the Second Amendment" but don't believe you should be able to own AR15's, Plastic guns, Semi Automatics, High Capacity Magazines, Sniper Rifles, or whatever the latest anti gunner buzzword for what they want to ban is.....

    I believe the Taylor's and Cimarron guns are all made by Uberti. I have a Cimarron Single Action Army copy and it is really finely finished! I would expect the lever actions to be of the same quality. That's about all I can tell you.

    Side loading .44 Mag lever action? Another option for you may be a Marlin 1894.

    What’s a good price range for a k98? Not looking for anything fancy, I’d prefer one that needs some refurb.

    Russian Captures imported, probably $400-600 depending on manufacturer and overall condition. Mismatched veteran bring backs $500-1000 depending upon manufacturer and condition. All matching, non import marked, mostly $1000-2000 depending on condition and manufacturer, some rarer codes and markings or sniper rifles, much higher.
