Where are all the lever guns??

Not to Hijack the thread, but what is the best pistol caliber Marlin in your opinion? Non cowboy gun, something really handy?

Cant wait to find a Marlin in 35 Remington.......

I'm pretty sure I saw one at one of the Gun Broker, Tigard I think. Not positive but pretty sure it was Marlin. The Clackamas location always has a decent selection of older lever guns in various calibers beyond .30-.30

Waiting for a call from Sportsman's for my Henry .44 to arrive...

I think I saw the same one when I was there last week. A Marlin 336 in 35 Rem. I think it was a 70s or 80s serial number on it. Price was fair, around $400.

2Wheels4Ever,

Good luck on your search for the Marlin 1894 SS in .357mag. They are VERY difficult to find.

Just finding that rifle in blue is difficult. I thought that I could find them easily because Big 5 use to have them cheap. But, the cowboy shooters (SASS) love them. So, they have climbed in price. Then not to mention, the old genuine Marlin's (not the new Remington-Marlin) are sought after by collectors.

Aloha, Mark

PS.... just to give you an idea on prices, this week, I picked up a used Marlin 1894CS in .38S/.357mag for $550.

Ive got a few levers and I love 357 in a lever also. Anybody have a 32-40? I have a marlin manufactured in 1906. Even though I am more of a winchester guy it is my prized lever. Its kinda cool because 32-40 along with 30-30 and a few other calibers transitioned from blackpowder to smokeless powder cartridges. During the introduction of smokeless powder early in the century, steelmaking processes improved quite a bit. On the 26in octagon barrel of my marlin it is stamped "special smokeless steel," to signify the new high quality steel for smokeless powder cartidges. And my grandpa gave it to me which makes it more special.

One just posted on Armslist yesterday for $400. Out of Eugene I think.

I have a Marlin in .30-30 and love it.

Tuttle's gun shop in Enumclaw, WA (East of Tacoma) had a HUGE collection of level guns (it's been over a year since I was in there). I suppose you could always call or email and ask if he was willing to part with something you are seeking.
