Marlin Ported Barrels
 

Greetings:

I haven't been in the market for a brush gun in quite some time, but have recently found some hunting grounds where one will certainly be helpful. My question is, does Marlin port all their 45-70 guns? I'm not recoil sensitiveand value my hearing enough to avoid such guns. Their catalog doesn't mention them having them (although many reviews I read seem to say they do), and the pictures seem to back this, but I'd like to hear from someone who knows for sure. Thank You.

They were making them with ported barrels though the new ones have a standard non-ported barrel.
