Home Forums Lever Action Central Lever Actions - General Anybody here got an 1894cl in 32/20?

I've been kicking around the idea of buying one of these. Anyone got one? What do you think of them?

I have one. It is about the slickest little lever you can have. Easy and cheap to load for, accurate and is fast handling. Just don't try to make it a magnum and you'll be very pleased with one.

Do you shoot lead or jackets? .312?

I have a pair of marlin 1894CL's in 32-20 . One is of the present manufacture and the other was made in the late 80's .

Also have a marlin 1894CCL in 32-20 and an original 1894 in 32-20 that was made in 1906 .

I've shot cast in all of them except the 80's CL with good results .

The 80's CL is still NIB , but that should change in a couple days .

Most of what I've shot have been Hornady 90 grain cast and home cast WW bullets from a Lyman 90 grain GC mould .

Also have a Saeco 113 grain PB and a Lyman 115 grain GC moulds.
