Because of the rebates, I bought two new rifles. One was a 1895G 45/70 and the other is a 1894 Limited Edition in 45 Colt -1500 made. I have seen it mentioned here to operate the levers while up side down and both mine work smoothly. Paid $345.00 for the1895G on Gun Broker and $899.00 for the 1894 at Turners. So after the rebates, I feel I got a couple of good deals. Marlin is doing another rebate for 336 models.
Once they bring back the 444 I'll buy another new one.
