1894 Different Cal.?
« on: February 11, 2010, 06:51:11 AM »
Didn't Marlin make the 1894 in some different cal. (the new ones not the old ones) not just  357, 44mag. & 45LC.  I thought they had a 32 H&R or 32-20  and a 218 bee or 25-20.  Can't remember the cal.  Can you still get them from Marlin?

The new generation Marlin Model 1894's have been made at one time or another in .22 Rim Fire Magnum, .218 Bee, .32-20, .32 H&R, .357 Rem Mag, .41 Rem Mag,  .44 Rem Mag., and .45 Colt.

The Marlin website should have the current chamberings available, the others are available  elsewhere.

The  25-20 was an original M1894 chambering, but AFAIK, hasn't been re-introduced as yet.

Yup - 1988-94, in the CL.  I missed that one, sorry  :-[

And, I also forgot the Cowboy was issued in .38 Special & .44-40.

My bad.   ;D

How did Marlin or Davidson's miss the opportunity to make a newer run in .38-40? ???
