has anyone seen the new 410 L.C. Smith by Marlin
I wonder is it based on a 20ga frame or is it a true 410 small frame

Dale, still looking? Over on the Marlin web page the 410 weighs 6.5 lbs. and the 12 ga weighs 6.25 lbs. So I don't think it is on a smaller frame. Thing I hate it has a recoil pad on it. Best thing to do is call them up.

Buy the real one, you will find a decent one for under $4G

The Marlin SxS was a big disapointment for me. I'd buy a CZ over it any day.

I shot a CZ nice gun with a small frame killed a double on quail.
I really want a LC maybe i should try to find a real one

AA: This could be a find BUT the seller is refusing a 3 day inspection/return

Und some say a picture is worth a 1000 words, :/...or not, as is perfectly exemplified here!

The current Marlin Elsie is made by Fausti Stefano. It's essentially the same gun as the Weatherby Athena d'Italia, but with different cosmetics. I've only looked at a couple Marlin Elsies, not shot them. I didn't think they were bad guns for the money, at least not just from looking them over. But I agree that if you want a 410 or 28 for weight reduction, you're better off looking at the CZ's than a 6.5# Marlin Elsie. In 20ga, however, I think the new Elsies and the CZ's are probably pretty close in weight.
