1894 - 44Mag
1895 - 45-70

I just wish they would come out with the 44-40, for old time sake. :)

My latest addition is the 1980 .35 Rem ... the bottom rifle. I took it to the range last Friday and found it to be a "shooter."

Here is my 444ss less than one year old, but good for three nice whitetails so far.  This hunting season, its gonna get an elk.  Hornady LE ammo gives me 1 to 1 1/4 inch groups at 100 yards with those factory sights.

 :DYou folks have some very nice and unusual Marlins. :-*I only have 4 at present. Sold my new model .25-20 to a pal, and now he won't even consider a return >:(I have  2  model  39's. A rifle and carbine. The carbine is nearly perfect. A 39a was my first good .22 bought right out of high school. I must have had it for 30 years, then in a weak moment sold it. But found a replacement of the same vintage. My other Marlins are the 336 model with the 24 inch barrel and half magazine. One is in a .30-30. Used it to take some antelope, a whitetail, and couple mt. lions. the last one is a .25-35 Win. I had it rebarreled by a local 'smith . He did a fine job. It has accounted for rockchucks, prairie dogs, coyotes, a mulie, and several antelope. It is one of my favorite rifles. ;)

  Ok, here is my take on Marlin's. Back in 81' I had an 1894 carbine in .44 that was a jammomatic. Now I have a 917V that mis-fires constantly. A relative had the same rifle with same problem and he just recently dumped it. I forgot about the 39 that my roommate had years ago that couldn't shoot twice in a row without jamming. And speaking of my .17 917V, I have called Marlin about 100 times and all I get is a busy signal. You can have your Marlin's;I'm done.   Kix

Wow!!!!!! Sounds like you have had your problems with Marlin. I guess there must be a gazillion people who have never had a problem with accuracy or operation.

Looks like maybe the factory makes sure all the problem guns go to one guy.

Just signed on today.  My Marlin is a 336 CB w.tang sight and glove loop in 38-55.  Have a Win.94 in .45LC and a Win. 94 Legendary Frontersman in 38-55 but they are Winchesters so they don't count here.  I like the Marlin better anyway.

My only Marlin at the moment.  Wish I could have more, but being a college student makes money tight.

Love her though, great gun!

I have Marlins as follows: Model 1936 30-30, Early 1894C .44mag., 1894C 357 mag. and a 39A 22rf from 1955.  Had a older 45-70 that went to a Grandson, I have four 45-70s anyway.  I like Marlin lever actions, good hunting rifles and just plain fun to shoot.
