New Marlins from Ruger

[Tripplet918]

I'll be taking a hard look at the '94 in .357 when they come out.

I'm excited to get one!

And the 39A?? Pray tell.

They would be smart to down-scale the 336 action to 39A proportions and formally discontinue the 39A as they did the Model 36 (square bolt 30-30).

They could call it the Model 339.

I've got a Remlin 94 (2018) that is as nice as any 94 that I've seen (nicer because of the wood) Its one of 3 lever guns that I wouldn't sell. I'll hold out for the cowboy model, but first I NEED a 336

Now a new Marlin lever action rimfire would be nice too...

Thanks for the OP, Randy

I’m not gonna deny that I look forward to seeing the 1894 in almost any caliber, because I’m going to end up with all of them

I bet I could be talked into a .327 even?

I've got Marlins in 44 mag, 44-40 and 45-70. The 44 mag has some beautiful wood on it while the others are much plainer. But they're very good guns. I'm happy to see a few of the improvements, the radius on the snail cam on the lever, chamfered chamber, the faster barrel twist rate should great and the overall quality of the machining. Any word on the type of metal used for the lifter?

I just managed to trade some handguns for nice 94c in 357 today at LGS.
I'm looking forward to range day after I get the 94c cleaned and oiled.

Are they going to bring anything out chambered in 357? Their website doesn't say anything

Second this sentiment. Seems like everyone abandoned 357magnum production in favor of what seems like less popular options.

A .357 lever action is going in my safe within the year. I’ve been thinking Henry, but a Ruger/Marlin might be a better option, if they’re available.

Ruger spent $28.3 million for Marlin and it's assets.
They know the demand is there for the pistol caliber lever actions.
I would bet they want to make sure that they have perfected the design and tooling, before they announce anything.
What they don't want to do is announce things prematurely.
They want to get it right the first time.
It will be worth the wait.

Who is everyone?
Winchester, Henry and Rossi all have .357 rifles on their website.

[Cowboy T]

Indeed, just this weekend, we sold our Rossi 92 in .357M that we had in the store. Shortly before that, we sold the .357M Henry Big Boy. They're still making 'em, believe me.

Ruger firearms are well known for running like Timex watches. Take a lickin', keep on tickin'. I don't blame Ruger for doing the engineering and getting it right the first time.

The Model 94 is mentioned on the Marlin website as forecast for Spring 2023:

Dan, can't thank you enough for bringing this to our attention! in such a timely manner.




While I look forward to checking out, firsthand, the new 1894s it is the 336! in 35 Remington I've my eye on.




Oh, and there's a new photo up in the Mojave Lever Crew - Roll Call! thread of SplitHoof's new Ruger/Marlin "RuLin" (sorry) "RuMar" 1895 Trapper (stainless, 16.5" .45-70) wearing it's new XS Sights Systems pic rail and a forward-mounted telescope...

[golfish]

I have a 336 on order..... OP, perhaps you can let me know when these are going to be distributed? I don't have a 30-30 but I have dies, brass, projectiles and everything else need.

The one shown in the videos is just beautiful
