Home Forums Lever Action Central Big Bore Levers Did the marlin 1894 in 44 mag ever come with an 18" barrel?

Found one locally and trying to find out if its original or modified. Is $450 a good price?

Rusty,
As no-one has chimed in, I'll try to help. As far as I know the standard barrel length on the 1894 carbines is 18 1/2". The cowboys were 20 or 24" as far as I recall. $450 is probably about the going price for a nice one.
Good Luck,
Rick

The standard on 44 mag is 20" the 357's were 18.5". There are a couple of 44/1894 variations that were shorter. 16.5" I think, like the marauders.

I ran across this info, this may help:


1894S Limited: 1996 (1500 (2600?))
44 Magnum 45 Colt
16.25" barrel roll stamped Marlin Limited, uncataloged,
. 44 microgroove, 45 ballard rifled.

1894(SC)TALO: 1996 (1550)
44 Magnum
16.25"bl, *Not cataloged*, Special Run for Davidsons,

1894P: 2000-2002

If you found a 1894p for $450 i hope you jumped on that!!
