merry christmas, i want a marlin pistol caliber carbine rifle to add to my collection and wanted to get some thoughts from those of you who know more than me about what is desireable. it seems most people look to the 44/40. i want the rifle for fun and collecting as i have 30/30 for hunting. should i go with a 38/40 or 44/40? i do not have a colt saa as of yet and will buy oe based on which rifle caliber i decide on. thanks for your help bill

Tough decision! If you are going to shoot b.p., I would suggest the .44-40.
Also, there are more bullet types available for the .44-40.
I have two .44-40 rifles and would not part with either one
The .38-40 is a neat looking cartridge though, having a more pronounced bottle neck.
Good luck,
