$700 give or take. It will be walnut. The cross bolt safety is a deduct

Not really rare. You see them now and again. I've seen them priced anywhere from $700 to a grand. I would rather have the 336 because my 1894 had feeding problems as the case with most of them in the .44 mag.

That's a near perfect 445 Supermag rechamber platform!
I would say closer to 1K if the condition really is 95%+.
Thanks, Dinny

It’s the 336-44’s that had jamming issues IIRC My 1894 had problems. 2 guys that I bear hunt with have the 336 in .44 mag and they have both never had a problem. Just what I've seen. Maybe most of the 1894's don't have a problem. Maybe they are all wanderful, don't know. More than likely with the luck I have, I had a lemon. Just my opinion and not going to start a debate. I've got to get stuff ready to run bears in the morning. Take care.

Make sure that saddle ring is original and not a replacement for the push button safety. If it's a true JM saddle ring carbine and in 95% I'd say $700 is a starting point around here. If it's a Remlin with aftermarket parts it's worth a whole lot less IMO.
They say everything happens for a reason. For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

WELL I went and bought it. I was disappointed in that it was not a saddlering. but iis in very good condition wood is not beat up at all. and bluing is probably 90% or more and I just love the way it handles.. it has a sling, but the sling is attached to the magazine tube. and stock. no blems in the wood and bluing.. the serial # begins with a Z I believe Z=1964 date of manufacturing. also has a JM stamp on the R side of the barrel.. it says 44 mag, so I am assuming a 44 special ammo can also be used in it.. all screw heads are perfect nothing buggered. my camera battery is dead, so as soon as I can I will try to add a few pictures.. barrel is 20 inches. I will shoot as soon as possible I am happy with it so far.

While 44 Special ammo can be shot, it may not feed well. Make it a 445 SM!
Thanks, Dinny
