If the money is right, snap it up! You just don't see these offered for sale. It would be good trading stock if nothing else. My 1894CP is so cool, I will buy the 44 version when I see one. SW

Hell of a rifle. Wish I hadn't traded mine away.

what's up 'hogger, can you tell me what the CP stands for?[what makes it a CP?]I asked on one of my posts in M.O. if you'll excuse my curiosity, what is a hogger?Seems like I heard the term somewhere, maybe in Oklahoma where I learned my horse-shoeing?I know it had nothing to do with horseshoes though.thanks,Shootrj2003<p>

being of a mind that an armed populace is a free populace...I'm armed

just a guess---cp=c-carbine--p-ported

RJ,

Lubbock Dave wins the cigar for CP. Hogger is one a them-there railroad expressions. - Means engineer. Yep, I'm a lowly railroad, red neck, gun nut, small town hick. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> By the Grace of God, I'll stay that way! I went to Chicago for my 'engineering' degree, and we had passes to take the Metra downtown on the weekends. It was depressing - ya had to look UP to see sky!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> Heck, there was more people worked in one building than live in the western part of Nebr!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> I been trying to participate here a little more since things are kind of up-in-the-air at MO. It looks like the owner has a belly full of all the squabbling on the lounge forum. I believe 90% of it would go away if 2 certain people were given the boot, but it's his site. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Don't be too surprised if it ain't there someday soon. SW

heh! i had one of the "older" 44mags...no stupid lawyer crossbolt! i shot it with all types of bullets...but it would cloverleaf em at 25yds, 1" at 50rds, and 4" at 100yds! and that is scoped!....bob wanted it REAL bad, and he had another swed m96~ in a year i didn't have...sssooooo~ <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> we are both happy now!
nice brush gun tho, short leaver throw, 10shots, and heck of a punch! just a brush buster, not a sniper gun! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I guess I should of heard of it before as I'm sort of a railroad buff and might have been an engineer if trucks didn't come along', but that's what I do,.I'm a red neck,truckdrivin',gun nut from a small village in the mountains.Did you ever hear of the Ontario & Western RR?Shootrj2003

RJ,

No - I don't get out much. I see Evil Empire (UP) and BN coal trains and that's about it. When I lived in Tenn, I remember the Corinth & Counce RR because I did biz at the paper mills they serviced.

Oops! I got a little off topic!

Well, I sure like my Marlin 1894CP and hope to find a 1894P in 44 mag someone thinks kicks too much so I can get it cheep! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> SW
