    I have a couple model 80 and 81's. They are nice adult sized rimfires that are accurate and dependable. I think you will more than get your moneys worth out of it.

    Own an 80 and 81 pre micro groove barrels. Excellent shooters and well worth the price. Using cci quiets makes them sound suppressed.

    Went to the place and tried to buy. They said my c&r wasn't valid, and it wasn't on their list. Even though it is pre-68 and has ballard rifling meaning it was made pre 52. They were only looking in the booklet the atf sends you with your license. Ticked me off when I called the atf helpline and they said nope your in good standing. It is a beautiful Marlin 81 and I was planning on giving the OP a 5 dollar finders fee .

    So why didn't you buy it anyways?

    If I was being denied on my ffl03 then theres no point doing a background check as I was assuming they would say no since my ffl was denied. Also it is a C&R so would have to go in my book and I would of needed cabelas ffl and I doubt they would give me it as according to them it wasnt in the book the atf gives you.

    So why didn’t you just purchase it like a regular 4473 sale?
