Make an 1894C in .44 magnum. I love the short barrelled .44's for deer hunting, but Winchester is the only company that makes them (or at least until March). I love the 16" Winchester Trapper in .44 magnum it carries, points, and shoots well.
But I would really like to have a similar Marlin produced rifle. For a while I believe they made a 16" gun with ports, but I do not really want ports on a short barrelled .44, muzzleblast is not something I want to deal with on that rascal. They currently have have a stainless laminated version in .44, but I do not want to drop 5 or 6 bills for a lever gun. The 1894C has an 18" barrel which would work but to my knowledge it is only available in .357 magnum.
If someone knows about what I am looking for existing, let me know. If not, you folks at Marlin, I will buy a rifle from the first production run you make of .44 Magnum short barrelled, 1894's that use wood and blued steel. Also, please make it not cost so much that I have to mortgage my children to buy it.
