    Marlin contact today

    Have been looking for a Lever Gun in 357 since I sold mine a few yrs ago. Marlin 1894c have been unavailable for some time now so I have looked at the R92.
    I called Marlin this morning and asked about the availability of the 1894c and was told it's no longer in their product catalog. I asked the guy if they were ever going to be made again and I was told that there "may" be a "special" run of them in the future... but that nothing has been decided on the issue as of yet. One can hope.

    If you're open to other brands, I highly recommend a Henry Big Boy Steel in 357.

    The H12 Classic Rifle & Carbine carries forward the timeless appeal of a steel lever-action finished for real-world use. Built around a solid steel receiver and finished in a subdued matte blue, the H12 delivers a traditional look with a non-reflective, low-glare finish well suited to the woods, the range, and everyday outdoor work. Offered in five proven pistol calibers and two barrel lengths, the H12 platform gives shooters a wide range of practical options in a rifle built to be used, not babied. The matte blued steel finish provides a classic, understated appearance while reducing glare in bright conditions and standing up well to regular handling. Paired with genuine American walnut furniture, the H12 looks right at home in the field – honest, familiar, and purpose-built. The smooth Henry lever action cycles reliably and naturally, offering fast follow-up shots and the kind of balance that makes a rifle easy to carry all day. The H12 Classic is available in…

        Get a Uberti or a Winchester, you'll be glad you did.

          "Special run" means really really expensive.

            +1 for Henries.

            I don't know why Marlin is so stubborn about the .357 1894. A lot of people (myself included) prefer .357 over .44 Mag because of cost to shoot, cost to reload, lighter recoil, etc. As other posters have stated, the .357 Marlins still on the market have become valuable collector's items.

            Vote with your wallet and tell Marlin you'll be buying a Henry, Uberti, Rossi, etc.

              Actually, in the last six months prices came down considerably.You can buy run of the mill Marlin 1894 .357 Mag 20" with barrel band under $800 relatively easy now. Special models go for more money, but not as bad as before.
