1894 .32 magnum
« on: June 05, 2007, 06:23:09 PM »
Thinking I might want to get a marlin 1894 in .32 H&R magnum.  I know that Marlin dropped production on this one.  Was wondering who might have one and what you think of it.  How is the accuracy?  Will it suffer from the Marlin jam?  I appreciate your thoughts and comments on this caliber.

I've had one for a couple of years now. Got one of the first to come out after having one on order for close to two years! Anyway, I did have to smooth the extractor side of the chamber due to a sharp edge but other than that it has been delightful! I've not had any failures to feed even using semiwadcutter type bullets. It is really fun to shoot and quite accurate out to 50 yds. (under 1-1/2" five shot groups). I did put a Marbles tang sight on it which I really like. It has digested some really stiff loads which I won't detail and flawless extraction. If you find one and like the 32 H&R then get it.

Several available on GA and GB right now!  Bought one myself a few weeks ago. Runs real nice.
Good Luck!
