Home Forums Lever Action Central Lever Actions - General Marlin 1894, 44 mag trapper, 16 inch ported barrel

have one of the 1894P's myself, would have preferred it have no ports, but it is very handy. as i recall, they made a few of the ported .357s too.

mine wore a 2x sightron at first, then swapped that to a 1-4x Leupold, finally switched that a couple years ago to a williams ghost ring rear peep & hi-viz front.

marlin sent out a few of those with some wood that was "tolerable".

mine shoots better with lighter slugs; i kinda seem to recall reading something about the twist in those, but never checked mine to see what it was.
