Here are a few photos, courtesy of Chris. Of course I would dirty it up a whole lot running Black Powder ammo through it. I would not be ashamed to show up at a match with this Marlin. Cabelas’ regular catalog price was about $830. As I said, the action was a little bit stiff, but it worked fine and I was able to get a nice group.Ĭhris bought his Marlin at a local Cabelas. I went into ‘cowboy’ mode and fired all five shots pretty quick at a target about 20 feet away. The gun has a nice Marbles semi-buckhorn rear sight, with the white diamond that would have to be blacked over for SASS competition. I said I would only load 5, as I did not want to use up what little ammo he had left. He offered to let me shoot it, so of course I jumped at the chance. It would need to be smoothed out a little bit and lightened for SASS, but out of the box it really was not too bad.Ĭhris only had about 15 rounds of ammo left, I forget which brand off the top of my head. The action was a little bit stiff but not too bad. It looks to me like they have managed to come to grips with the QC problems they were having earlier. This one was made very recently at the Remington factory in Ilion New York. The blue was nice and deep and the wood had a nice matte finish on it. It is a Marlin 1894CB chambered for 45 Colt with a 20” octagon barrel. He brought it to my club and asked if I would like to see it. He just wanted a lever gun to play with at the range. A friend named Chris, who is not a Cowboy Shooter, bought one. Shipping is $60.00and insurance to be responsibility of buyer if desired.Įxtras:sling swivel studs, taped for scopeRecently I had a chance to try out one of the new Marlin 1894 lever guns. Best of luck on this one, it is a winner!!!
