I've had 2 Marlin lever actions, both in .30-30 though. One I got at a ranch auction, the other at a pawn shop. The pawn shop one is beat up, but is a first model year 336-RC, so win on that!  ;D

They are cool rifles, and I would imagine that a lever in pistol calibers would be good too, good teaching guns I would guess.

No 357s. They are REALLY rare.

I know, that's what I was running into a few years back.  You can always go with a Henry.

great guns for HD as well, 10+ rounds of 38/357 in a short compact rifle that has very little kick and lot less flash/noise of a hand gun.   Great choice for say your wife.  the 44spl/mag or 45 colt is also a option.

Its too bad to hear QC isues with Marlin. Its a great old brand. But for pistol carbines I have never heard a bad word about Rossi and they are cheaper.

The problem is that no one can find any.

Posted on the SASS Wire today...

"There are a lot of rumors floating around on the internet today about the Marlin 1894 production being terminated, including a thread on the SASS Wire Saloon. I just talked to Marlin customer service and they claim this is absolutely false. They claim production on the 1894 will be restarted in first quarter 2012. Let's all hope they are correct! "

I'm holding on to my camp carbine in .45.  And I agree every American should own a lever action.
