Marlin 1894 Club

[Waldo Pepper]

I guess I should join this bunch as I have the 1894C and 1894M and a Rossi 92 44 mag.

I just bought this Marlin 1894 .357 magnum rifle off Gunbroker. Price was $450 plus shipping. It is the pre-safety model. Now I can be John Wayne and shoot it out the the injuns...........

I'm sorry,
Yes, the new stainless model is a .357. I just bought a blued one that I wanted for years and nearly puked when I saw the news on the Marlin Owners forum the next day. Mama said maybe we will need two then

Yes I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of the 1894CSS too. want one bad.

New club member - it's the new 1894CSS, too!

Will post about how it shoots at the first opportunity. Seems to cycle .38s fine.


I'm a happy camper today!

[EDIT: See post #41. It's been a long time comin'. Glad to be official!]

Bought an 1894 Cowboy in .44 Mag and love it. Also bought an 1895 Cowboyin 45-70. Both great guns and fun as hell to reload and shoot. However, I found that every one 1894/95 I looked at in the gun shop (except the ones I bought) had a screwed up rear sight. Looks like the manufacturer was really sloppy. Also, althought my 1895 sight looked fine, I had to move the rear dovetail 1/4" right and the front dovetail 1/16 or so left just to get it centered at 50 yds. .44 mag shot fine.

Thanks Levercaster! I've been wanting one of these for about 10 or 12 years, so it means a lot to me.

Won't get to shoot until Thanksgiving weekend. Can't wait!

Expecting to take possession of one soon. Any critical mods or things to be aware of?

Guess I should join, too. Got an 1894C .357 back in the '80s. Very nice little carbine. Liked it so much that I picked up an 1894S .44 Mag. a few years later at K-Mart. The 94S had a terribly heavy trigger that was just recently replaced by a Wild West trigger...thanks to instructions posted on this site.

Both have Williams aperture sights and fiber-optic front sights. Great little guns. Unfortunately, neither has been shot a lot as I got into muzzleloaders shortly thereafter.
