Send it back. My Jan 2016 1895SBL is a gem in quality.
I worked the lever over 500 times while watching tv and it's like butter.

Hello Wanstalls!..
Would you folks be able to get in this Marlin Rifle?
Marlin 1894SBL Stainless/Black Laminate in 44 Magnum, looks like this internet photo.
Marlin 1894 SBL, 44 Mag, Ghost RIng Sights, 16"
MANUFACTURER NO: 70432
I would take one in 44 Magnum and one in 357 Magnum. The 357 magnum is Model 1894CSBL.
I contacted Marlin/Remington in the United States and the 44 Magnum is and has, already been built, the 357 Models are scheduled to be built this year!...
Thanks!
John

I was in there a couple weeks ago really wanting a lever action rifle. I didn't quite scratch the itch. This one might just do it! Do want! I must go in and touch it. 8-)
My son bought a Marlin 1895 GBL from Wanstalls and it is awesome.
I made it at work at lunch, one of the perks of being a machinist, although they are available stateside from Beartooth Mercantile

Hey Dogzilla,
The 1894SBL is already being manufactured in 44 magnum, they started building them (2015) last spring. They are available in the USA as we speak, the 357 model is not slated for build until this summer.
I did not ask about 45 LC, but a quick call to the factory will answer all your questions. I received all my information by talking to them directly.
Tyson from Wanstalls is looking into the availability of the Stainless 1894SBL in 44 magnum early next week. Hopefully we can get them soon in all the great 44, 357, and 45 LC calibers.
Again, very professional job on the stainless saddle ring!....

I'd love one in .357 for sure.
Well. That was easy. Fit and finish is nice. The action is smooth too. Now she's mine.
