- My "new" Marlin lever action .357 shoots great but there is one thing about it that really irritates the heck out of me. How could it leave the factory like this?

I'm glad to see you're back and that you're doing well!
You all probably dont care at all but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb lost my account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me
@Derek William instablaster ;)
@Titan Barrett thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and Im trying it out now.
I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Titan Barrett it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much you really help me out :D
@Derek William happy to help :D

My day is complete.
Gotta see what WHO TEE WHO is up to!
Ordered a 1894 .44 mag. Showed up at the gun shop but the action locked up first time. It was cycled. Sent it back to Marlin, they repaired andd sent the gun back. This 1894 is reliable and one of my favorite shooters.
Love the Marlins, and I would probably have bought this one like you did. I own a Marlin 444 Outfitter, and love it. These are bad days for gun channels that don't have an ammo sponsor, so I really appreciate the video. Good to see you out shooting again.
Always a pleasure watching one of your videos. Ty sir.
Now Marlin is owned by Ruger...
Let's see how it will goes.
Oh shit! Really?
I wanted to buy a marlin to match a ruger revolver when I got the money together.
@@SaraphDarklaw yes miss Sara, Remington group bankrupted and Ruger bought the Merlin brand. Which model of Ruger revolvers do you think to buy? They are my favourite!
Marger
Rulin
Remlin

I had one of these Remlin rifles. Right out of the box the action was frozen shut. We literally had to have someone hold the gun down while we pulled up the lever with both hands. We then had to work the lever over 100 times to get it to stop sticking. Also the stock was cracked at the receiver. It looked like some installed it with a sledgehammer. The forend had a different sheen than the Butt stock. QC was non existent! Accuracy wise it was excellent and there were no malfunction issues after working the action to smooth it out.
There is no excuse for a firearm to leave the factory in that condition. Thanks for the feedback James.
mixup98 No worries, I am glad to add the input!
Welcome back. Like the style and honesty of your videos.
Thanks TJ...I value your opinion and I really appreciate your compliment.
Mine came with a threaded barrel....but the shoulder of the barrel was not cut square with barrel.....making it useless for mounting a suppressor. A trip to Lohman’s Gunsmithing in Houston TX.....who has a Marlin Lever action rifle expert there.... They squared the shoulder and fixed several Marlin Factory errors. Now My 1894 357mag is a lifetime keeper. Thanks Lehman. Love that rifle.
I too live in Nevada (I’m in Las Vegas).
Glad to have you back posting videos. I can confirm that it’s been quite hot lately. Hopefully, cooler weather is coming!
and here today, oct 25 had had to put on long pants and a shirt. Pool is already cold lol
I’m OCD about things like the handguard, but that wouldn’t have stopped me. I bought a 16” Rossi 92 .357 magnum a few years ago, and the top of the buttstock was flat, the overall finish was DULL, and the stocks were wider than the receiver. I planed the top of the buttstock, fit the stocks to the receiver, and gave it about 8 coats of TruOil. Thanks for Sharing! 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I think you did well in buying that rifle! I certainly wouldn't complain about the checkering thing. That rifle is made to slip into a truck mounted rifle holder or a scabbard on a horse you're riding and used for all kinds of plinking, like coyote control, feral pig control, deer hunting, extra. A little big caliber for rabbits, but if you have crows migrate through your property, and dont have a shotgun handy, you can sure have some fun with that one for them too!
The ease of which you handle your weapons is quite remarkable,
Thank you Robert.
In a previous video someone called him a "shootist" . That's how I think of him now. "That shootist guy on TH-cam"
Man I like this guy and I miss shooting out in the desert like when I worked in Vegas for two years go a few miles out of town shoot almost anywhere, not so much in Georgia.
I like you too :>) And yes, it is nice to be able to go out in the desert and shoot. I just wish people would pick up their trash when they are done.
I hope Ruger can bring Marlin Back to life now that they just bought it🤠
Another great video, thanks for sweating and taking the time to make it out there. 357 Lever, I don't care how she looks, if she shoots/cycles good, you've gotta keeper! Very flexible round.
Love lever guns.I purchased a Henry big boy 357 case hardened in February and actually taking it out for some fun second time tomorrow since purchased.
I absolutely love my Henry Silver Big Boy in 357 magnum !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Henry Lever-action Rifles for Life !!!!!!!!!!!!
I've had an 1894 since around 2012. Can drive nails. Never have had a miss feed. Absolutely love this rifle. Took a few rounds to loosen up the lever action, other than that runs like a gem.
I’ve still got one I got in 1978. Great rifle and and a blast to shoot. Pre-Remington Marlins are just awesome.
Well Ruger just bought Marlin, so I'm excited to see what the future of Marlin is (couple that with Henry's move to side loading gates and I think we're about to enter a new golden age of leverguns).
I agree and hope we do enter a new golden age of lever guns. What I would truly love to see is Winchester start producing an affordable lever rifle here in the USA again.
@@mixup98 I can't see Winchester ever making lever guns in the US again ... especially at an affordable price. That said, their Japanese lever guns are quite nice (better than the Italian clones).
You make a very good case for it, even despite the cosmetic annoying parts from the poor qc. It does not seem too slick, but still looks very reliable, rugged and functionable, which is the top priority for me. All I can say now, is, man, now you got me thinking. Thanks again for the great video, and stay safe and healthy!
I enjoy shooting the rifle and I'm really glad I bought it. If you decide to get one just be advised that they might be hard to find right now. Good luck and thanks for watching my video.
08:21 - 08:26 awesome shot! i.e., camera shot.
Versatile camera angles provide a more entertaining viewing experience. mixup98 is all over the place, for our benefit.
The southern Nevada location is ideal. Good that there's no wind, as sometimes happens to the extreme and disrupts the video AND near-ruins the audio.
For my money the look and overall appearance of vintage Marlin 1894 .357 Magnums (you know, with the white spacing between the butt plate and stock; a gold trigger; and pre-safety) with their infinitely better appearing wood are worth the patience and investment in time it takes in looking for a used one. This one's wood is too dark, like dark chocolate and overall looks kinda "blah." The earlier ones' wood looked more butterscotch brown; one could admire the grain and texture of the wood.
Our host does a commendable job of informing us, enlightening us on the particular firearm; and when shooting assures us a good time with his variety of targets and distances.
But, boy, oh boy, he's gotta get that stock's checkering fixed 'cause he's about ready to set himself up for an ulcer worrying about it like he does here.
If the extra line on the checkering is the worst thing wrong with the gun, you have a great gun!
Reminds me of one my biological father's girlfriend bought him in the late 1980's. It was a nice gun. He fired a Remington .357 lead SWC in it and the extractor tore the case head off, leaving the cylindrical hollow portion of the case in the chamber. He sent it back to Marlin and after a while, for whatever reason, they determined the gun to be FUBAR and sent him a new one. When he died, she offered to let me have it which I thought was generous at the time. I told her since she got it for him it was rightfully hers and for her to keep it. Wish I had known how badly she was going to rip me off on my "half" of the estate as she was named executor. I would have taken it.
I’ve had several1894 marlins over the years in both 44 and 357. Great little rifles. I have one Remlin 1895 Cowboy in 45-70. No complaints with that rifle. Shoots very well. Can’t wait to see what Ruger does with the Marlin line.
As always, swell video sir. I only have two Marlin guns, a Papoose (wood stocked) purchased in 1991 and a model 20 bolt gun. Both have the micro-groove barrel and shoot good. The Glendale model 20 rifle cost me $60 in 2010 and for a thirty+ year old gun is in excellent condition. Topped with a BSA S4X32WR optic costing under $25 it makes for an accurate combo. Best ammo in my Marlin is Armscor Precision .22 solids. Really neat watching you put the 1894CS through it's paces, thanks.
Hello Marty....I remember when the take-down Papoose came out and I really wanted one but just never got around to buying one. I have owned several Marlin (Glenfield) rifles over the years and they were always extremely accurate and fun to shoot. They just don't make firearms like they used too. Thanks for the great comment and I really appreciate you watching my videos.
You've become my favorite firearms channel. No politics or other drama, just a man who enjoys his fire arms. I especially appreciate the safe manner with which you handle your guns.. Oh, and I dig the Star Trek thing too. Nice job, keep up the great work!
Good morning Chris. Yes indeed, I surely enjoy my firearms and I love making these videos for my viewers. Your compliments just made my day and I thank you for that. Stay safe and greetings from southern Nevada.
I bought one of these brand new back in January. Did a lot of homework on it and decided that the "Remlin" days were in the past. Picked it up and the fit, finish, checkering, action were absolutely fantastic. Then after about an hour of looking at it I found about a 3/8 inch crack in the stock at the tang. I gotta admit, I was a little hot when I called Remington but kept it professional. They could not have been nicer, they answered quickly, requested a couple pics and had a new stock out to me that day and allowed me to keep the cracked one. I put a dot of super glue in the crack and allowed it to seep. I am certain it will be good to go as a back up.
I love my 1894, I handload as well and 6.0 grains of Unique with a 125grn Plated bullet is like a .22 and is still going right at 1200fps. It is so much fun to plink with. It is actually quite accurate with iron sites. Then you get into stout charges of Winchester 296 a 125 JHP will do 2100fps out of it and 158's will do 1,750. These little carbines really change the game for .357 magnum. We love to pop steel and water jugs. Glad you got one of these rifles, enjoy!
Good to hear that Remington did the right thing. Thanks for the feedback and for watching my video.
Always a good day when I catch a new Mixup vid.
Nice 👍 I bought my Marlin .357 over 35 years ago and it’s still my favorite. Even though it has that dam safety at least the stock is smooth and I doesn’t have a front hood. These micro groves barrels are super accurate. Marlin said back in the day it was the second most accurate rifle after the .9 mm carbine they also made. But I believe this is the most shootable and accurate gun ever made. I have shot over 10,000 rounds from mine and it’s still like new. What I would do to my shooting friends I’d put in first a reload .38 then a factory load then a reloaded .38 and the a reloaded .357 for the finale a factory .357, boom 💥! This was a great way to show off the versatility of this fine weapon. Get one BUT ONLY IF IT WILL BE THE ONLY RIFLE YOU WILL OWN !
You sir, have a great taste in firearms! I found a great deal on a 336 in 30-30 from my local Walmart ($267) in 2019. I have put about 200 rounds through it with zero issues. The tube mag was off center, but just had to loosen the barrel band and re-center and tighten it back up. Also, sight was a bit off center to the right, but it shot a bit to the right, so once I centered that it was shooting dead on. Thanks for another great video!
Heck yeah, that is a great deal and I'm happy for you. Apparently you also have great taste in firearms, Stan.
Glad to see you back! Thx for sharing!
Nice to see you back. Looks like you bought a keeper. Very nice.
Feels good to be back, Michael, and yes, it is definitely a keeper and hopefully I can do another video on it in the near future.
Cool stuff. I have the Rossi lever action chambered in .357/38 and love it. These are a really good multipurpose rifle/round imo.
I have owned several Rossi lever actions over the years and I loved them both. Here is my review I did on one several years ago: th-cam.com/video/00Gz6FcY5Vg/w-d-xo.html
Great video as always!
Thanks for all your hard work.
Good to see you back.
Thank you Billy and I'm glad to be back. The weather is starting to cool down and I'm hoping to get out and start making some fun videos.
Not gonna lie- When I got mine new earlier this year, just as CV began becoming big news, I knew what I got was a project, not a gun. On top of having access to custom parts, in Houston we have a great little family company that makes aftermarket parts for leverguns, including this one.
Skinner sights
Custom extractor
Custom lever
Custom ejector spring. Had to work in the action, and soften the mag spring with snap caps. Luckily no furniture damage that i could see.
In the end, i probably spent almost enough with the gun+aftermarket parts to be able to buy a Henry with a loading gate. But i wanted a common pistol-magnum-chambered carbine. I'm happy with this. And now it cycles flawlessly, feels good, shoots straight, and feels like my very own. So... There's the story of my remlin 1894c.
That "stunt double" hat sure earned its money that day!
Another fantastic video Sir. Your insights into these firearms is invaluable to all of us. And the excellent photography and editing. Thanks for the hours of free entertainment over the years.
You are certainly welcome Mr. Rosco and thank you for taking the time to watch and comment on my videos. I also thank you for being a four year subscriber.
I love the recache sounds where you shoot. Excellent work as usual. Thank you for your work.
You are very welcome BOBCAT and I thank you for the great comment.
Ha me to,I have a older one made in 1981 with now a nikon prostaff 4/12/40 bdc scope on it in the 357/38 special.and a new one like your but in 44 magnum set up the same way with a Nikon prostaff scope on it and I do deer hunt with both guns and dearly love them both now!!!!!
I had the same trepidation you did about Marlin. On the basis of assurances that their problems had been largely resolved, in 2016 I ordered the Model 1894 in .44 Magnum. I replaced the semi-buckhorn sight with a dovetail blank, installed a rear aperture sight and replaced the front sight, all Skinner products, and removed the front sight hood. I couldn't be happier. The fit and finish are very good, and with my modifications it makes a tack-driving low-to-moderate range deer rifle. It's a keeper.
I would agree that most, if not all, of the problems were resolved a number of years ago. It sounds like you have a very nice set-up and I thank you for the great comment.
Nice welcome back thank you for sharing.👍👍👍
You're welcome Lou and thanks for watching my videos.
Would like to pick up a 38/357 lever action but prices on guns and ammo have gone up like every other election year. Was thinking of a Henry but I'll give this one a look too once demand falls again. Good to see your still a crack shot 👍
My old eyeballs are still hanging in there :)
Found a used JM made 1894 SS in .357 and I love it. It has some factory stock imperfections but they were factory mass produced. It functions perfectly. I paid a premium because it's both a JM Marlin and the SS version. It makes the perfect patrol rifle for use on my northern MN property. Thx for the video.
Yaa glad to see you back Yaa
Always scary buying a Remlin. You did well. Would rather have a shooter with cosmetic flaws than the other way round.
I certainly agree!!
I agree... last year I bought a 45-70 and had to send it back in after the first trip to the range because the front sight was slightly canted (no big deal since I knew I was going to a Skinner peep sight) and the action was reeeaaalllyyy notchy. Would not even chamber a round without double/triple clutching. I have to say that when I got it back it was as slick as snake oil. Sight was replaced and the rifle shot like new money. Still had the hassle of having to send in a brand new rifle for "repair" tho. 🤷🏻♂️
Love the sound of that action. Can’t beat a lever gun. I wouldn’t bother touching up the forearm. Hardly notice unless it’s pointed out.
Agreed
That would make an excellent home defense carbine, and hunting tool in tight woods
And it "eats" what my S&W Model 13 "eats" - A win-win!
@@jamesslick4790 +2
My EDC is a 357/38 and my significant other's EDC is a 357/38.
@@joejoelesh1197 Versatility! .357/.38Spl - from "mouse fart" plinking loads to "big boy boom", It's the way to go. A revolver and a lever action that shares this "diet" is a great combo for the (literally) the entire family. Low "floor" and a high "ceiling" - Ya can't go wrong. 😊
Thanks for the videos! I have a 2012 336 that is butter smooth and shoots well. Was very hesitant to buy at first, but am glad I did.
Love this video, man.
Beautiful review, I've been following you for years now and it's always a pleasure that is renewed every time.
Thank you my friend.
Great video! Hope things get better out there for you and everyone.
This was my 1st deer rifle as a kid a very long time ago only I had one chambered in 44 mag. Took my 1st buck with it & a few more after that before upgrading to a bolt action. Wished I’d kept it!
I have one of these, and I immediately took it to Bass Pro Shop and had them mount a nice Scope on it. I haven’t shot it yet but am lookin forward to it. It really feels great in my hands.
Up front I'll say my only stake in this is that I own a Dremlin 336C in 30-30. (That's a Remlin that's been debugged over a few years.) The checkering on it was awful and it sometimes jammed, but with a bit of work it has become a favourite gun and now sits in a Champion synthetic camoflage stock which fits really well and is noticeably lighter. (After three attempts I gave up trying to get a good walnut stock for it). I recall reading a article which gave 'the other side of the story' and just re-found it at "Marlins back..." by Robert Forago in The Truth About Guns, dated Jun 07, 2014. I've paraphrased a few bits of it below, as I think it's worth a read.
The equipment was old, sometimes over 60 years old. We realised moving it to Remington's factory at Ilion where there was some spare space would not be easy, but we had the area available and could keep it separate from our other production. It meant we had to move the equipment, train people and establish the new location. Old equipment doesn't travel well. To make it worse, we discovered dimensioned drawings of the iconic rifles didn't exist. The 'plans' had been passed down through the generations and, as many old hands didn't make the move, we lost that expertise. We had a good workforce, but they had never made lever actions, so there was a learning curve.
While I don't agree with releasing poor product, I can sympathise with having to set up a new production facility with machinery that is not only old but knocked about during a move, with little good information enabling effective quality control of parts. For the sake of what was once a great brand (and we can now say the same of Remington itself) I hope Marlins gets perpetuated in a form people can love once more.
I bought a ("remlin") Marlin XT-22. Right out of the box it had a BENT BARREL. Returned it to local gunshop (they've sat on it (warranty) for nearly a year), doesn't look like it's going to be fixed. Now that Remington have gone bankrupt, I think the best solution is an angle grinder. As an Aussie, it's probably put me off 'made in USA' for life.
Long time ago Made in USA meant quality!
Shoot fire , I cant even find a Marlin 357 anywhere since march , I given up entirely , even pondered buying a Rossi , Im so desperate , but not that bad to buy a Henry , glad to see some one can find them under to 2 bar's of gold , Ill have to check when I go to Vegas next trip. Glad to see you back in shooting form again
timbo1955....I have owned several Rossi carbines over the years and they were great rifles. I won a lot of cowboy action shooting competitions using my old Rossi 92 and .38 Special reloads.
I have to add my very large ape like hands
@Tom Sherwood Cannot find any lever action in 357 or 38 with in a 300 mile radius , tried the brokers , priced way to high , supply and demand I guess , so with my very large hands , meaning I run my others with 2 fingers and they fit find in the lever , I should probaly skip the whole thing and move on , the large hoop are quite painful to my hand any more , so........
Always look forward to your videos!
I appreciate that Robert!!
I bought an 1894C on 357 last year during the Spring. Fit and finish are great. Very accurate. The action is super smooth. Far smoother than the previous 1894CS that I purchased used in the mid 90's, but sadly had to be sold in 2007.
My new one is a way better gun than my old one.
From what I have been told, Marlin changed the design of the lifter, making 38's load more reliably
You bushwhacked that claim jumper. And you are right about that ammo shortage. We may be down to black powder cap n' ball before long. Put us up some more videos up next cool spell you get.
I'm hoping to have a new video posted in the very near future....stay tuned my friend.
I bought one about a year ago. Added XS ghost ring sight, Ranger Point loading gate , large loop lever, and trigger. Take it out and shoot silhouettes at the Boulder City Rifle and Pistol Club. Pretty good up to 400 yards. Hated this rifle at first. Now with the upgrades it’s one of my favorites.
Sounds like you have a great rifle after adding your upgrades. I may have to look into some of these parts and do a video on them. Thanks for the comment.
I love the sound out there the echoes sounds awesome
Good to see you again. I have the Henry 357. Love it.
Thanks Mr. Wilcox...I'm glad to be back.
I own four Remlins, two in 44 Mag one in 357 Mag and one in 45 Colt. They have all been no problem. I can not wait till Ruger starts putting them out. I am wanting another 1894CB in 357. Loved the video.
Hello Jeff. Yeah, I also can't wait for Ruger to start selling lever action rifles and carbines. I just hope they are affordable and not overpriced and I will review one as soon as I can get my hands on one.
I wouldn't mind that checkering. That kinda gun makes a good truck gun. It will get nicks and scratches in it anyway. Nice rifle.
You're absolutely right, it is a great truck gun. I think it's almost time to make another video with my Mini 14....stay tuned.
Good to see you back!
So glad to see your video in my notification. I have this exact rifle made in December 2019. It's very accurate and wood to metal is excellent.
enjoy all your videos, Had one of the original Marlin 357 mag rifles in superb condition good gun but exchanged it for a Ruger M77 stainless in 222 rem but still miss the marlin
I have made a few gun trades that I wish I could take back. Thank you Robin for watching my videos and I also thank you for being a two year subscriber.
Sweet Marlin. Compared to some of the less fortunate early Remlin's yours is a keeper. I'd rather tweak the foregrip and know the rest of the rifle is sound.
Thank you for working through the heat to bring us great content. It’s also hot in Southern California, but we do not enjoy your 2A freedoms. Perry P.
I would have picked that rifle up too. Worth taking the chance in my opinion. Nice review as always.
Mixup, your one if not the best shot on the tube!!!
Thank you Denise and Mark! I've been shooting since I was a young teenager way back in the early '70s and I'll keep shooting as long as my ammo and eyeballs allow me to. Thank you again and I want to wish both of you a Happy Thanksgiving.
I have an older marlin 94 in 44 magnum. The early JM marked can't be beat.
I have the old gold trigger 1894 in .357,had it for 35 years now. Good deer rifle and it's a keeper
Good one man. Real nice shots of the bullets and sonic wave! Hey, all!! I could see it!
Mine is pre Rem. Great shooter. Nice woodgrain. 25- 30 years later, it's still one of my favorites.
I also have an 1894 .44 magnum pre-Rem and it is also one of my favorite rifles.
@@mixup98 I just wiped some drool from my chin.
@@jnywd8450 Trust me, I do the same thing when it comes to old, classic firearms.
I’ve commented this before, I’ll comment this again: that fade-in is amazing!!! Nice to know you’re in Southern NV. I’m in Henderson. Going to Sloan in an hour to go shoot!
Hello G M....Be safe and have fun at Sloan.
Good seeing you at it again. Heat, fires, CV19...everyone needs to get out shooting an hv some fun. Love the way them rifles look. Good review again, glad you appear well and keep up the fine and informative reviews!
I love the Marlin lever action rifles also. Thanks for the great video. Have fun with it and take care.

Love the star treck intro! 👽
Thanks Michael :>)
Was literally just reading about the 1894 Dark in G&A - thank you for this review!!
Thanks for the video. The Marlin 1894s in 357 and 44 are among my favorite rifles--"modern" rancher/cowboy caliber. Good to hear new Marlin quality is greatly improved--but still need to work out a few issues. Keep up the good work. By the way my 1991 manuf Marlin 1894 CS had it's own problems. I bought it in 2015--my first gun. Suffered the infamous Marlin Jam. Installed a Marlin updated the cartridge lifter and fixed the issue. Always enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.
Fortunately I've never experienced the Marlin Jam but it seems like an easy fix. Thank you James for the great comment and I also thank you for being a five year subscriber to my channel.
For a rifle that shoots that good who cares about the checkering overrun! Thanks for the video!
You're welcome K and thanks for being a one year subscriber.
I'd be OK with it as a used rifle, But it would bug THE HELL OUTTA ME if I took delivery of it NEW like that (and make no mistake, that is NOT wear, It was MADE that way!) It shows a certain "who cares" attitude that would make me question the REST of the gun.
10:08 just from the recoil and sound it was easy to tell 38 from the 357
I have a Marlin that was manufactured in the 1970sor before. Great gun. Good luck with the new rifle.
Great video I'll be keeping it in mind when I start looking for a lever action in the future
Great show Buddy
😎👍🤝
Thanks 👍
I bought a Marlin 1895 in 45-70 and it would fail to cycle at times. I stripped it down and found milling shavings in the action. I cleaned it up and now it is fine. But that should have been caught at the factory. I have 4 Marlins and they all shoot fine, but my JM 336 30-30 shoots like magic... go figure, it shoots very good off hand and close to my bench rifle on the bench. I do not know anything anymore about rifles, I have no idea why cheap 30-30 amo shoots so close to the premium stuff I buy for my bench rifle. I bought that JM dirt cheap and I will never part with it. Well I would give it to my son if he likes it. That's what good dads do.
My 45-70 remlin shoots super low with sights adjusted as high as I can get
Thank you for another great video! Sorry about your heat. We had frost warnings last night up where I live. lol
.38 and .357 are such great well powered all around cartridge. I love this.
Hey, for a fun gun, no one notices the checkering flaw.
The more I shoot my Marlin the less I notice the flaws. Love the rifle.
You should try a 1928 Thompson sub machine with the vertical grip and 50 round drum magazine
I almost bought one many years ago but the space between the pistol grip and buttstock wasn't large enough for my big hands and I passed on it .......please kick me.
I have an older pre safety 1894 .44Sp/Mag and absolutely love it. Couple years ago I was gonna pick up the 1894 CS .357 but first one I looked at had a cracked forward stock and second one had a super rough action. I ended up getting the Uberti 1873 .357 sitting beside the two Marlins. Never regretted that buy.
Good to see you back
I have one ( Remlin). Mine has a 3-9x40 Leupold scope . Beautiful finish,a joy to shoot but I will say it has a 55 pound trigger but apart from that it’s great. I’ve heard you can purchase a lucky trigger ,perhaps that would be a good move .Trev 👍🇦🇺Have a great day
There is no reason why a new rifle should ever have a hard, crappy trigger pull. Hopefully this won't happen under the new Ruger management. Have a great weekend Trev.
357 is so efficient and powerful,rifle length barrel ups the ante big time.
Good to see you back and I have a Remlin 1895GBL 45-70 with a laminated stock I picked up a few years ago that is really beautiful and functions smooth. I think they’ve definitely improved.
I'm glad to be back. I've never shot a .45-70 firearm but it sure is on my bucket list. Who knows, maybe someday.
@@mixup98 Its like rolling thunder in your hands! I've fired the same lever action version used in "Jurassic World," stainless with a laminate stock. A Marlin 1895SBL. As soon as I saw my friend take it out of his safe, I yelled, "its the dinosaur gun!"
Hey my brother this is Ruben glad to see you're a back hope you and your family are doing well good video I have one of those but my the older Marlin still good rifle God bless take care
Hello Ruben. Good to hear from you. My family and I are doing good and I hope you are yours are also doing good. Stay safe out there my friend.
A 38/357 levergun might be the perfect home defense gun.
Heck yeah 👍😎
I also live in the Desert and the first thing I noticed was the Cholla Cactus--Damn I hate that cactus-I've been trying to decide Marlin or Henry--I think I'll go with the Marlin, thanks for the video!
Yeah, I also hate those damn cholla cactus. I had to dig a few cholla stickers out of my butt last weekend when I went quail hunting.
@@mixup98 they'll jump out and get you that's for sure & they sting- I really feel for dogs who get them.
Picked up a Henry golden boy in 327 federal, my friend bought but didn't tell his wife. I bought it with the deal he gets to shoot it , been looking for a revolver in the same caliber. Either a ruger single seven or a sp 101. Just picked up a smith and wesson model 28 no dash with 6 inch barrel, she is a sweet shooter . Have a good day and thank you for the video
That stock checkering is beautiful!-John in Texas
