Home Forums Lever Action Central Lever Actions - General Marlin 1984S 41 mag should I buy?

He is a gentleman in his late 80's and nearing the end of his FFL days. He told me he was gonna renew next year one more time but he's trying to get rid of a lot of his stuff. Some of the stuff I thought was overpriced also though. I was really surprised at this one. Thats why I asked first, I thought maybe they were lemons or something.

It's a beauty, you stole it, congratulations

You did well!
Are you accepting trade offers?

That's a handsome rifle. Glad you picked it up.

As for reloading dies, I used RCBS with the RCBS Carbide Sizing Die. Never any problems. My press was the Dillion 450, or if I just wanted to load a few "experimental" rounds, I'd use my RCBS Rockchucker.

Good luck and good shooting.

Sweet ! Now you need a nice pistol to go with it, Ruger or a S&W.

I think I am going to sell my ruger 45LC/45acp Redhawk since its now the only 45 LC I own and never shoot it, and buy either a ruger in 41 mag or a S&W. I like the 6 inch barrel, so it will most likely be a S&W.

This may very well be THE BUY OF THE YEAR. If you do play the lottery or scratch off then I recommend picking up one or both as this might be your lucky week.

Hotter than a $2 pistol, maybe? 🤔 Perhaps it was already “a steal”…. Pawn shop after all.

Not a pawn shop, legit private FFL. if you read the above post about him being late 80's and selling off his inventory.

I read it. Just pokin’ fun. You got a good deal. I’d have jumped on it at twice that price. Enjoy.

Yep, gotta have a .41 Mag. combo. I had a S&W 57, 6" bbl., nickel. That and the rifle were mighty comforting to have around up in the mountains of Idaho and Wyoming. Both were great shooters.

Have fun.

I think you ought to check out your friend’s inventory for a .41 mag pistol maybe he has one for a couple hundred $$😁?!

The .41 mag and 32 H&R mag are a my two favorite “pistol” cartridges - especially in the 1894s. Like I said before I think you’ll like your new acquisition!

I'd be looking for a Bisley Blackhawk to go with it.

You bought a unicorn for a pony price.

You are going to love it… I bought one for less than $300 many years ago back when they first came out. Nobody wanted a 41 Mag at that time. I’ve always been a 41 addict!
