I'd love to find a 1894 in .41 magnum of any production model. All the ones I see would need a mortgage to buy them.

I recently made a list of all my lever actions for insurance coverage. Attached is my list and some of them would be hard to part with but if someone was looking for a special one for certain reasons I would be open to trades or maybe selling. All of them are 95+% and most 99% condition. Take a look and if any are the ones you're looking for give me a PM. Would enjoy seeing everyone else's list too.

I don't have enough Marlins to start pursuing specific years...not a bad idea. I suppose if you are going to buy on the internet, you may as well make it a challenge.
I enjoy looking for them in the wild. I buy what I find.

Gentlemen
In reading the above I think I should let you know that I am listing some nice Marlins on GB.
These rifles are from LGS owners personal stash that he has accumulated over the years.
Among the rifles are 219 zipper, 25-20, 30-30,357,410, 22mag, 32-20,44.
Just a heads up.

I had a 219 Zipper for a while and should have kept it.

Been looking for what I call my "creek gun" over the past few years, wasn't sure what I was looking for. A favorite pastime of mine is wandering the creek that borders my property and I usually carry an old h and r single shot in 22 hornet. I like looking for old marlin levers and was poking around the local pawn shop when I found a marlin 25 MB in 22 magnum. It cleaned up pretty good, stock is kinda rough but can be fixed. Put a 4x scope on it today and was able to consistently hit golf balls at 50 yards, plenty good for me. Think I found me a new creek gun.

Levermatic, model 62, .30 carbine. I need it for the trifecta - already have an M1 carbine, and a Ruger Blackhawk in .30 carbine.

Wouldn't mind adding a JM SBL to the collection.
Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.

Can't remember if I was looking for it when I found it. I had previously had a couple of nice old 336 models. A '76 RC model and a really nice '67 Texan. And had been looking at the 336Y as a more compact version. But my little 30TK is "the one". It's pretty plain jane other than it's perfect configuration. And it's diminutive size and weight, achieved with Texan stock, 3/4 magazine, and 18.5" barrel, serves double duty by curing my itch for both a compact 30-30 and 1894c 357.
Had been wanting a 22 Mag for years when I picked up a nice 783. It's also "the one"...until I might find a smaller, lighter 22 mag for my "creek gun". And my near lifelong companion 39M is also "the one".
If I ran across a deal on an original configuration 22" 1895, or the Cowboy model with 24" octagon barrel, I wouldn't mind having a 45-70. Or the 410. But they'd never be "the one" like the other three are.

I've been looking recently for a 444, built in 1968 to add to my collection. I let one get away from me on GB recently and I'm beginning to think it will be a long time before I see another. It got me thinking about how long others might have been looking for that "one" rifle they searching for. There is one for sale on Texas Gun Trader right now, but the guy is asking $1,500.
