Three Foot Johnson Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 (edited) NOT A DUPLICATE POST, I HAVE TWO OF THESE FOR SALE. 24*** serial number, so 1976 manufacture date. JM, pre-safety, one piece firing pin, blue trigger, 20" barrel, leather wrap. Tough to come up with a price on these, because there aren't any coming up for sale. I've seen ONE 1894s .44-40 sell on Gunbroker in the last three months, also used, and it sold for $1699, shipped, one month ago. I'll start at $1200 $1150 for this one, plus $50 shipping/insurance.

Buckeye Pete, SASS # 29941 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Hard to believe that these "two" Marlin 1894's have not been snatched up! Great guns and caliber from a pard that is great to deal with. Pete 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye Pete, SASS # 29941 Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Three Foot Johnson, I read bout the one piece firing pin, has any other work been done to this one? How smooth is it? Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Foot Johnson Posted September 11 Author Share Posted September 11 Both are quite smooth, but I don't know of that's the result of an "action job" or if they were just built with a little more care fifty years ago than they are today. The only thing really noticeable when levering is the "Marlin bump" when closing from the bump on the bottom of the bolt. It's light and smooth enough to easily lever the empty action with one finger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
