WTS/WTT OR Marlin 1894 38/357 Mag JM Pre Safety

[284guy]

I'll try this again, as the cash buyer backed out. Clean Marlin 357 made in 1979. If you want a 357 lever gun, this is the one. Metal is excellent, wood fits tight, no cracks or chips. $1000. Pretty picky on trades. Looking for a quality Garand, perhaps a Colt 1911 in 38 Super, or Browning 1886. I have a hard time saying no to old Browning's. I'll cover the fees in Albany.

Looks appealing to me... The1894 was a dream gun for me in eighties!

Tempted, very tempted. I know these are getting hard to come by and in this caliber.
Would you be willing to ship?

 

[RVTECH]

Bore & chamber like the rest of the rifle?

 

[284guy]

Yes, it looks like it's been shot very little, and not recently.

 

[Gbirk]

Man, I love this. Google shows about 1:15 to get to Albany from here. Hmmmmm.

And a lifetime of shooting fun.

Short of finding one living new in the box the last 40 years, I think this is as nice as you'll find. Action is still black, little wear, but more glare. Sorry for the bad photos, but I think you still get the idea of the great condition.

I'm tempted to buy this one and sell my 2008 version...

 

[TTSX]

Can you tell us uniformed what JM stamped means?

John Marlin

It means it was built before Freedom Group bought Marlin, and the quality went in the toilet. I believe that was around 2009. Safeties started around 1984-5 I think, so this gun was built before all bad stuff started happening with Marlin.

 

[RVTECH]

Yep - I have a 1983 Golden 39 with no safety - last year without it!
