Marlin 1894CST w/ Threaded Barrel (Confirm thread pitch)

[papadop88]

Hey guys,

I've looked on Marlin's site but can't seem to find it, but I believe the pitch is 1/2x28 on the threaded barrel. Can anyone confirm that?

Also, anyone know of any muzzle brakes made for the Marlins?

(Yes I know I don't need a brake on a 357, so why would I? Because we can...)

Thanks!

1/2x36? Common for 9mm, could be the same for 38/357. That's what I had my csbl threaded.

I will always welcome another into the Lever-Lovin' fold, but, for Pete's sake! why use a blast enhancer on a small-bore? To annoy your friends and rangemates?




I can see desiring a brake on a .500 from Big Horn Armory (a carbine for those who don't have enough recoil in their lives) but certainly not on a .357. And then there'd be the hideous appearance of a brake on a lever carbine...

A .357 lever-action carbine is about as much fun to shoot as any firearm can be. That alone speaks volumes about the standard (16 - 18" barrel) configuration.

I don't have to tell you that just because we *can* do something doesn't always mean we *should*.

The barrel is threaded 1/2 x 28 according to couple sources on internet.

Hey Spyder, so if the pitch is 1/2x28, does that mean I can use any 9mm brake?

[shafferds]

Have to match the correct pitch. Some 9mm brakes are 1/2x36.

I would install linear comp to redirect sound, muzzle break won't do much on .357 Mag lever action, except create more noise for the shooter.

I am using KVP XL Slim comp on my Ruger PPC and have no complaints about it.

How Much Quieter Is A Linear Compensator?

Papadopoulos, NO!!

Almost all .223 brakes are 1/2x28, and you don't want to put one of those on, but I don't think that's what you meant?

Anything that is for 9mm with the same threads will work though.

Yes, what I meant was any 9mm 1/2x28 brake with comp/jacket will work...Sorry should have been more clear. Answers my question. Thanks all!

Thanks for all your help, guys!

Nice! I like it.

What red dot, and how do you like it? How is cheek weld and dot height? I want to figure out a permanent one for my csbl, it's got a trs25 cheapie on it right now.

Thanks! It's the Nikon Spur that came out about a year ago. I chose this over the Vortex Venom for two reasons...slightly cheaper (picked it up for $200 shipped) and it's TRUcolor lens which removes the blueish/greenish tint known on reflex sights. Looking through the lens, I'm impressed. Tint is virtually none existent compared to my Aimpoints and Trijicons. Warranty is not as good as Vortex, but it's Nikon and I have never had issues with their camera products.

Cheek weld is spot on. I can actually co-witness the iron sights perfectly. The spur comes ready to mount with a higher base than the Vortex so that was a plus.
