I own a real Marlin 1894 P.
It's a lot of fun.

Beautiful.
Great price on most any near-pristine JM 1894. Is it 357 caliber?
Oh, and the .357 has the same advantage of a revolver in that you can shoot any variety of .38. If it is anything like mine, I predict that you will be impressed with how accurate and precise it is out to 150 or so feet with those iron sights, and how soft shooting it is in .357. You got a real keeper at a bargain price![]()
Well, I didn't have to sell the Ruger Vaquero. I finally found a deal I couldn't refuse on a Marlin 1894, actually a Remlin, in 45 Colt. Got it for $499.95 shipped with a discount coupon. When I picked it up at the LGS, he said "I saw what you payed on the paperwork I got". Then he pulled up one of his distributor's web site that had the lowest price. The same rifle was $566 plus shipping his price. He said I got it cheaper than he could even get one in the shop.I would love to pick up a Marlin 1894 in 45 Long Colt. But if I ran across one in 44 mag i might have to buy it, sell my Ruger Vaquero in 45 LC and buy a 44 mag pistol of some kind. Pudge
