Home Forums Lever Action Central Marlin Talk What New Rifle Would You Like Marlin To Make?

.357 MAX and a .405 Win

buddy:

"I would like to see them build enough 1894 C's that you could go into a shop and actually buy one."

Amen to that, although I have to wonder if the problem is with Marlin not making enough, or whether it's a matter of wholesalers and retailers not wanting to stock them. For whatever reason 1894's are alway priced higher than 336's and maybe retailers think 1894's won't move out as fast.

Camp 357 that could be setup to shoot 38sp +p's as well. Would be the cats behind for home defense in non-free states, not that I need that here, but I do travel.

XL7C in 257 AI with a heavier 26" bbl. with a steel trigger guard and a stiffer stock.
Yes XL not XS.

I've been asking and hoping for a mini "X" gun sized to the .223remington. CZ makes a mini mauser action for it's .223 sized cartridges and if Marlin would do the same, they would sell them so fast they's need a bigger plant.

Imagine a 22Hornet, .222, .223, 17 Rem, 17 fireball, 6.5grendal, 6.8SPC, 30AR, 7.62x39, 450 bushmaster, etc., chambered in a bolt action weighing less than 6 pounds and costing under $400 out the door. Any AR-15 chambering could be chambered in that mini "X" gun and give MOA or less accuracy for vry little money.

I would like to see them bring out a tuned 1894 in blue with upgraded walnut in some Classic cartridges like the 32-20, and 218 Bee and such. Make a high grade rifle that people would like to own. No more stainlesss and laminated stuff, REAL RIFLES. Tom.

I'd like a 336 Spikehorn in 35 Rem.

Maybe with a straight grip stock and narrow forearm.

Blue/Walnut.

M-1894 Carbine, 327 Federal Mag ???

Anything old-timey that casts a heavy bullet, or lighter that is just 'cute'. 25-20, 25-35, 32-40, 38-40, 44-40,45-60, (got the 45-70:), 45-90. Also like to see more octagon barrels, or half rounds. And ANYTHING at all in a takedown would be sweet.

don't know if this has been said... might already exist...

.44 magnum, 16" barrel... all stainless with PG grey stock with checkering

I'd also like to see an integrated reciever rail that runs long enough to mount a scout scope OR regular scope

If I could only pick one, I guess I'd want them to bring back the 336 Cowboy.

Next wish: an 1894 in .32 H&R mag with a slim round barrel about 20" long to keep the weight manageable. I had a .32 mag Cowboy and it was at least 3 pounds too heavy to be useful.

I'd like to see the .25-20 back in the lineup, .218 bee as well.

After Remington bought marlin maybe they will build a well made rifle again

338 in 219 Zipper

Same in 218 Bee

I'd just like them to get rid of that fat forearm on the 94's and make it look & feel like a 94.
The 94's were designed to be flat sided to fit in a scabbard under stirrup fenders with minimum bulk.After the first time I carried mine,I came home and made a new set of stocks for it.

A full length octagon barrel in 44-40 and 38-40, Model 94, would be great too.

Saddlesore I hear you loud and clear! I too would like to see a couple of models with the full octagon barrels. I would also like to see a 45/90 in a factory lever gun with that barrel too! I suppose it is just wishfull thinking hey....LoL

I want to turn back the clock and see the marlins made w/ pride like they did in the early 1900's / late 1890's. Hear is my wish:

--Model 94 w/ 24" full octagon bbl
--Color case hardened receiver, lever,
--Perfectly fitted, smooth, hand rubbed, oiled walnut stocks. (no fat forearm)
--Custom tuned trigger & action direct from factory
--drilled and tapped for receiver or tang sights.
--You pick the caliber, 38-40,44-40,45,44mag,327,32 H&R,357

A pistol grip Guide Gun in walnut.

A .40 based on the 450 for the Guide Gun.

Longer, stronger receiver at least 1.25" wide, larger OD barrel at least 1.25" OD, feed 3.5" belted mag and large rimmed brass up to 50 cal cartridge, octagon barrels and a custom shop to build "semi-custom" rifles to order.

Excuse me...I have to go take a cold shower now...

I would buy one of those.

First, I hope they continue to make the 336Y 30-30 Win. they just reintroduced so my wife and I will be able to buy my son one for Christmas. Also, I wish they made a 336SS in 35 Rem. just like the 30-30 model they make now, nice wood, 20" barrel, full length magazine. Or even a 336BL in 35 Rem.

NYH1!
