Just spoke with Jeff from Ellwood Epps in Ontario, the Marlin 1894 CSBL 357 Magnums are in stock, Manufacture # 70433. The price is $1220.03, best price I have seen or been quoted by anyone.

They have eight in stock, won't last long.

Enjoy!....:)
 
Ordered!
Thunderhog you the man!

What’s so special about these versions?
Click to expand...

Everyone who loves their Marlin 1895 SBL 45-70 will love these models. They are almost identical in design other than they are smaller overall and obviously different calibers.

What makes them special is they are virtually Trapper models in design. Handy, easy to maneuver and the stainless/laminate looks great. We all know how desirable the Trapper lever action models are, in addition they seem to bring premium prices everywhere.

Of course, this is just my opinion, others may disagree. That's ok too.......:)
 
Spoke to a rep at Marlin today, I asked if they thought about bringing back the Marlin 1894 FG in 41 magnum. Well go figure, they are talking about the possibility. It may or may not happen, if it does I will buy one. I love the 41 magnum cartridge!......:)

Got mine thursday spent a good 4 hours that evening breaking the sharp edges with a jewelers file and stone and installing a one piece stainless firing pin and wolff spring kit,it cycles buttery smooth now. I got out shooting with it yesterday and was grouping 1.5-2" at 50 yards with the same 125gr cowboy loads that my JM stamped 1894C likes.

I will try to do a full report with pics but my first impressions are metalwork and trigger are great but the wood to metal fitment is still not great and definitely not up to JM standard. Nothing catastrophic as I will work on the buttstock over the holidays and have it fitting just right, but for someone who isn't handy or doesn't wish to tinker it could very well be a deal breaker.
Thanks again to thunderhog for the intel that put this rifle in my eager hands right before Christmas and I will also say that Ellwood Epps did a fine job on their end...no complaints here.

This rifle doesn't sound very impressive for an item pushing $1300.00.

Wow! Beautiful rifles Sun_Steel_, I wish mine wasn't stuck in Canada Post World. Glad to hear the accuracy is good. They all look amazing together. We look forward to a full report, thanks for sharing M....:)
