Ok guys I want a 444 bad. Is really love to find a 1970 to go along with my other 2,70 models. But I'm not the biggest fan of the short mag tube. Is there anyway I could change it to a full tube? And any help on a 70 model would be sweet

not sure on the Marlin but had friend change his 444 AE tube to a long 44 mag tube, had to have barrel taped or dovetailed farther up to attach,can;t remember which.

sure you can make a full length mag tube--here's one way (might have to decide on a different mag tube, but the process would be the same)

There are some very specific recoil wear issues with full length magazines and barrel bands.
