Check with your local SASS club shooters.
Guns like this JM stamped, Marlin 1894 (this one is pre-Rem.) were sold (on sale) at Big 5.
I can remember new Marlin 1894s (on the racks) were selling for less than $400 up until about 10 or 15 years ago. If you're lucky, you might just come across a used one at a Pawn Shop (about $500+ now a days). Keep looking.
If not.....the Uberti 1866 or 1873 lever actions are higher priced and are lightening fast (with some work).
Aloha, Mark
PS.....Anything that was assembled at Remingtion DID NOT get the JM proof stamp. Only rifles that were assembled and tested in North Haven, CT received the JM proof mark.
