straightshooter47 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I have an 1894C that was purchased right after they first came out...18" barrel, blue, the only thing done to it was the installation of a Wild West trigger, other pretty much like new. And if you are still located in houston, you are welcome to test shoot it if you'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick McClade Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Also check with Scarlett Darling , she has a Widdermatic carbine that will be coming up for sell . Not sure of cost but it would definitely be a excellent rifle to have . Slick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIDGE WALKER Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Don't rule out the Winchester 94AE in the "Trapper" model which is also 16" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Meadows,SASS#28485L Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Be careful of a 16" Marlin holding 10 rounds. The 16" 73's will but not sure of the Marlins. Johnny Meadows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOLFY Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I had to trim the spring on my Marlin 94 CS… holds and feeds 10 OK Dee- are you certain that you all need a 16” there are many more 18.5” Marlin 94 in circulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Stevens SASS#55996 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 A 16” Marlin will NOT hold 10 .38 Specisls. You’d have to run .38 Long Colt (maybe) or .38 Short Colt and you’re gonna have a tough time getting any of those to feed period let alone at speed.

Pb Mark Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I am new to cas, but not the shooting sports. Lucky to have had a 1894c 38/357 with ballard rifling sitting in the safe when I started the cas games. This is fact. It got a spring cut and a pioneer steel follower. It holds 10 38's and 9 357's. Truth: I accidently loaded 11 ea 38's in it at a match. Was using up a box of 125 grain lead rnfp bullets set to the crimp groove. Did not have a loading strip yet. Was one bullet short at the loading table when filling my revolvers... Bottom line: A Marlin 1894c 38/357 will hold ten normal length bullet 38's no problem. I paid $400 for my Marlin NIB when guns were inexpensive. My new model vaqueros were $375 each NIB when they first came out and have the narrow front sight groove and barrels screwed on perfectly... I put the Marlin up soon after purchase because it was not a tack driver. I did not try recrown, etc. but mine is a 4" rifle at 50 yards, no better. The heavier the bullet, the better for accuracy. Now for my comment and why I chirped in... Can anyone tell me where to get new carriers for a Marlin?? It seems not wise to do the Widdermatic modifications without an easy source for carriers. Personally, I'll be buying a 1873 one of these days when I can afford it. For myself, parts availability rules my thought process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check your barrel length, I would venture to bet that it's 18" or longer. J.M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pb Mark Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I got it out and checked. Johnny, you are absolutely correct. A Marlin 1984c in 38/357 has an 18" barrel. My loading screwup was with COL 38 special brass loads at 1.3470". The did feed though really a bit too short for my comfort. Was burning up old stuff.

WOLFY Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 The 16” 94 I had in .357 was a Win AE and it barely held 10x .38 spl. I do have a 16” 92 Rossi and it holds 10x .44 spl (which are the same length as my .38 spl cartridges). Both types (including the Marlin 94) hold their first round in the receiver (as opposed to in the tube itself). Is the 94CS the shortest Marlin?
