A Timeless Lever Reborn: Marlin's 1894 Classic

- If the third time’s the charm, then Marlin’s freshly introduced 1894 Classic in .44 Magnum will be a real gem.
The youngster has tall boots to fill, and not just because of high expectations based on previous 1894s. The latest 1894 Classic finds itself the third model reintroduction under Ruger’s tutelage, close on the heels of the 1895 in .45-70 Government and the 336 in .30-30 Winchester.
Those rifles are already proving that the “new” Marlin is all business. We were lucky to get our paws on one of the first 1894s to roll off the lines in North Carolina. - บันเทิง
Bought one a few weeks ago. It is a great rifle,well made and shoots great.
I have a 1980's model and shoots on a dime!! Love it!! Open sights!
Good to see Ruger keeping Marlin alive. I keep waiting for the 357mag. I had to buy Henry’s side they have them in my preferred caliber. Shoot straight and safe.
It's just a matter of a wait, they'll make them. I'm waiting as well in fact! I personally don't like most Henrys....I just never cared for a firearm to have so much mim'd metalwork or die cast alloy receivers (certain models).........Henry does do a few things surprisingly well, such as inletting stock tangs and blue.
The 357 is now available. Got mine a month ago. 18 1/2" barrel. Put Skinner sights on itand simply rugged sling and cartridge cuff.
Love my Marlin 1894c in 357/38. Got it in 2007 with the JM barrel. I've got the Skinner sights on it. With the Wild West big loop. Hands down, my favorite rifle.
I bought one of these Marlin 1894 44mag rifles years ago just before Rem took over. This became one of my favorite rifles for deer and hogs here in Florida. I use mine with the iron sights. So far my favorite ammo is win white box, 240 gr. JRNSP ammo. My Marlin loves it.
I've owned one of these for many years and it is one of my favorites. I am shooting Winchester white box ammo 240 grain JSP. It is a fun rifle to shoot and is handy for deer and hogs.
Love your reviews.Keep ‘em coming.Happy to be an American.
I'm actually heading out in a minute to shoot mine. Just bought the same rifle, put the Skinner Express on it already and today is my first chance to try it out. I do like the group you got with the factory sights. Very encouraging!
Excellent shooting as usuall. Got this gun on my list now
I have a nice collection of Marlin lever guns. Last summer, we had to evacuate from the Northwest Territories due to wildfires. We left Yellowknife and drove to Haines Junction, Yukon for three weeks. I could only take one gun. It was my Marlin 1894 in .44 Remington Magnum. Great for camp and hiking defense from bears. Always great for small game. Fun to shoot. Wasn't sure my other rifles would still be there for awhile, but if it all burned down, I'd still have my .44 Magnum. Shoots like a dream, carries well, points great, reliable, good capacity, looks unassuming. What's not to love?
Very nice rifle! You are too humble, you shoot very well!!
Hello Kristin good to see you. Glad to see Marlin is still alive. Great video and take care
Just brought one these home today and itching to get it out along with my 2019 Remington Marlin, which Believe it or not is a pretty good quality rifle done by Remington. I didn’t get one of those Remlin QC nightmares I’ve heard so much of.
Remington actually did the 94 in 45 colt fair justice…at least on the one I bought.
While I love sinking my teeth into an original vintage Winchester, circa 1873-1930 or so, for the collector side, for many years my shooting pleasure has been the many JM marlin levers that were on the market. I am so very proud that ruger stepped in to save this classic brand that meets and exceeds our expectations. I actually found this platform in 357 magnum the other day as well. Fit and finish absolutely superb. Big hand to the crafts people in North Carolina putting their hands on pride into their labor in each and every part of these great pieces of art! And thank you mam for an excellent review as usual. Keep up the great work! Btw, great shooting for someone who says she can’t really see the target…
When I bought my Henry in 357, Marlin wasn't owned by Ruger. Ruger has done a very good job with bringing Marlin back. My dad told me that good whiskey costs money, the same is true for firearms
Picked up a Henry in 22mag as a birthday present for my dad a couple years ago. He loves that thing. But pretty big difference between 22 and 357 😂
i would like it even more in stainless !
Gran calibre y Gran Marca.pero (ojo es un gusto personal)yo soy un fanático del 45 70. Para mi no existe otro.❤❤❤
Attention Ruger we love the fact you're bringing back to Marlins please expand your line to include octagon barrels in 24 inch also in stainless in the calibers you now offer
It'll be my first lever gun... Can't wait to own one of that beautifully made rifle
She is the best. Great video, again.
Love those Marlins, got 2.
Great show 👍👍👍👍👍
OK You twisted my arm, I ordered one!
Great video
Thank you
I'm sure that Ruger does a good job on these iconic rifles, but I'm really happy that I managed to purchase a NOS Marlin 1894 in 45 Colt a couple of years ago!! It's the best for CAS! Thanks for the video!
Great job on this review! Thank you! Subscribed!
Thanks ❤
I DO expect excellent accuracy out of a quality lever action, because I get it out of my Henrys- glad this new Marlin delivers on that. Good review.
I'll buy the .357, especially in stainless, when it arrives. So pleased with Ruger for saving Marlin.
I would love to see Ruger/Marlin start manufacturing the 1881 Marlin in 45/70.
a fine rifle
I've wanted a level action in 44mag for years. I Love my Ruger Redhawk and just think it would be cool to have an interchangeable lever gun to go with it. Especially since my arthritis is getting worse and the 44mag definitely makes me feel it after a good range day, so been switching to shooting special, figure I keep special on the Redhawk and mag in the Marlin if I ever get one.
I own two Lever Rifles. Marlin 336W in .30 WCF and Henry's Big Boy in .44mag. I like the Marlin and use it for hunting purposes. But I must say, it's not a Henry's Rifle. It's a beautiful Rifle and a tack driver too.
It's going to take another year for me before I can get anymore guns but I'm holding out for the 357 magnum. But a 44 magnum might have to do.
I want a 1894 sbl in .44 mag with the laminated pistol grip stock.
Hello great video ,I here in Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 have a JM ss 44 mag , how would you compare these to the steel one,
Oh yeah 👌 😍 💯
What a beautiful camp 🏕️ out go to general purpose firearm.
I'm Still Waiting For The 336 Ruger/Marlin To Show Up In The Shop Over A Year NOW !!! However A Wait Longer If It Would Really Like The .38-55 WCF Caliber If They Could !!!
Sold!
Are they chambered for 45 colt?
Any word on the Marlin 39a 22 rifle?
This gal can shoot.
LOVE the straight grip !!! Will have to get one !!
I am fortunate to have grabbed all 3 JM Stainless, straight grip laminate stocked, 16" barrel 1894s, 357, 44 and 45LC...
Hope Ruger brings these back but with Threaded barrels and pic scout rails... Not traditional but SO useful/practical, with a touch of Steampunkishness !! LOL !!
If it were only a hexagonal barrel 🤌
That would really be unique because they never made anything with a hexagon barrel.
I have a Henry with the octagon barrel , it's very pretty to look at, but it's heavy and doesn't balance as well as my 1894 Marlin
I am sure a cowboy model with 24" octagon barrel is in the future- they made them in the past and was a favorite.
Is that normal for the trigger to flop around @3:03?
Yep. Going all the way back to the beginning. It isn't a defect.
I Hope Ruger will fix the specs on this version or if more pop can adjustments will be needed. The earlier Marlin version had a low carrier that allowed a nasty let in 2 jam.
I discovered this error when mine happened to let in 2 as a 500lb black bear was walking toward me inside of 40yrds in a small open field on my way to the back field range**. Luckily black bears are pretty docile when they're not protecting little ones and I was able to turn it around by raising my arms(with now harmless club) and barking "no! Go HOME!" like I would to a dog.
It's not the first or last bear encounter I've had(county brings them here from towns), but my favorite lever letting me down really sucked. I had to remove the side cover to clear it, and later shimmed the carrier to prevent it. 1894c/.357mag
**(all I wanted was to chamber a round JIC)
I was fortunate to get one last month and I love it. I have one issue and that is the front sight on mine walks. I need to contact them and see if they will correct it. I only wish it was a 16" and threaded. Love the review.
Mine does the same thing. the only thing holding it on there is the hood. How the factory could miss this I have no idea but the gun is great otherwise. Hopefully marlin will send me a new front sight assembly
Love it. Wish it was still priced like in the "old" JM days, but nothing is anymore...
well yeah that's a fact......It's a little higher. 144 in 1980 would be about 550 today. That's about $400 less than I paid for my new 1894 yesterday retail.
16 inch carbine please……AKA 1894P!
Are they re-introducing Microgroove Rifling?
Nope. Hammer forged, 6 groove and shoots great. Also increased twist from 1/38 to 1/20.
It'd be nice if you could get one
Dear Lord, let ruger/marlin make the 336 texan in 30-30 please please pretty please!!!!
Need a 357 16" tapper with saddle ring.
I have 357 and a 44ma the old marlin 150.00 each
It’s a rifle and where did you get .44 mag ammo?!!
Have you tried a gun store? .44 magnum isn't very hard to find.
No recoil? Mine kicks harder than my 300win.
Do you guys actually have a customer service department or just an answering service that never picks up for hours until the customer hangs up???? Never again
This place will rip you off so bad don't do business with this company
Pistol caliber carbine. 😊
Lever loop is to small
Good luck finding a large l ever, everyone is out of them.
Cross Bolt Safety 🤮
I've had 3 Marlin 44 1894's: WHAT A WASTE!! NONE ever worked; one out of 50 rounds would load!! SHOW us the action; the 1873 would lift, align then feed rounds straight in...these 1894's angle-up push rounds relying on luck and a prayer they'll chamber!!! DID RUGER FIX THIS CREATING A NEEDED WORKING ACTION??? LIKELY NOT as they implied in that disclaimer!!!
What year were yours manufactured? Was it during the Remington years?
I was just at a gun shop to look at a new Marlin, 30/30 and the action was so stuck we couldn’t even open it, I though it was me, nope. Disappointing and will NOT be purchasing a Marlin.
Most girls like play pretties but you like guns don't you?
