My New Toy

I was out shopping a couple of weeks ago looking for a new toy but couldn't find anything interesting. I was in one shop and the guy said let me go look in the back. He came back with this thing. I couldn't get it until today. They have to hold them for a certain number of days before they can sell them. I would have prefered one older than this but you can't be to picky. Anyway it's a Marlin 1894 made in 1981. The bluing is about 99% and there are only a couple of small dents in the wood. Plan to shoot it this weekend.

And one of the best things about it is the caliber. It's gonna be fun.

Yep .... I am super jealous...

Ok once you shoot it, let me when your ready to sell.


CONGRATZ!

Yeap.... that is a winner. I have one is 44 Mag.

.

nice...

I'd love to have a .357 lever. Out of curiosity why do you want one that's older?

That a nice looking rifle .22. You find an older one and I'll take that off your hands. I have a 38/357 Mare's leg and a Marlin 30/30 (first gun I bought off the forum). I have a .22 in every action but lever. If you don't want to sell that one, you see a Marlin or Browning like that, let me know, I'll make it worth your while. Thought I wanted a Henry until you told me they were only plated brass recievers.

Make sure you oil it up good before Joe sees it, the drool might make it rust. I too would have had a hard time not buying that gun.

I just like the older ones. Usually the actions are smoother and the quality of the wood is better. I prefer pre-WWII and pre-1900 is even better. Some of them are a challenge to get going (oddball calibers) which makes them even more fun.

I had one in .44 years ago and sold it (stupid me) because I thought I needed another AR. I wish I had it back.
