Home Forums Lever Action Central Marlin Talk What New Rifle Would You Like Marlin To Make?

If you could persuade Marlin to introduce a new rifle, what would it be? There are two I wish for: A .444 in the "SBL" configuration with laminated wood, short barrel, full length mag, big lever. I'd take blue or stainless but don't want the picatinny rail. Also want a 1894 CL in .38/40 Win. I can see the .444 being done but am not holding my breath on either...

A 336 cowboy with 22 inch octagon barrel in 32/40.

Doc

Bring back the ORIGINAL '95 length action so you can load .45-70 with heavy bullets without sacrificing powder capacity.
Stainless or blue, straight grip, octagonal 22" bbl, aperture sights.

Ed

Slightly lengthened 39, for 22LR, 22 Magnum and 17 HMR, and stainless.

Good call. A Model 39 for .22 mag and .17 HMR would rule. I'd get one in .17 HM2 too if they'd make one.

A 9mm Camp Carbine that uses Glock 26 ten round magazines and a 24" stainless 336 in 219 Zipper.

327 magnum in the 1894, and find a way 4 their 336 to lose a pound of weight in stainless.

A with the standard Model 1895 Cowboy in Marlin 450.

Oh wait... they are not going to produce the 450M any more....

Well anyway, that is what I want.

How about a .25-35 lightweight 336 of sorts?? Or, maybe a .256 Mag. in the 94. Just sound like fun guns.

I wish companies would start making some real youth models. This is what they need to make. We need a bolt or single shot in several short actions, a lop 12", and a light 18" barrel. It should weigh 6 pounds or less. I see everyone making "youth guns" that are exactly the same except the lop is 1" less. This makes a poor choice for young kids. The few kids getting into hunting are very young. In Wisconsin you can now start at age 10. Some states have no minimum. My son has a H&R in .243 superlight and is a very nice rifle but not accurate enough past 50 yds.

New model?!
Heck, I'd just like to see Marlin turn back the clock and undo the hideous changes they inflicted upon one of the greatest American rifles of all time, the Marlin 39A.
They should get rid of the crossbolt safety and rebounding hammer. They once had perfection, and then gave it up for some obscure reason. There have been so many reports of FTF's, FTE's, feeding failures, and all kinds of other quality-control issues that it's a disgrace!
The only new change I'd like to see on the 39A would be a more secure scope base system on top of the receiver.
Other than that, they should go back to the 39A that worked just fine for decades.

stainless, laminated guidegun in 35 rem. 18" non-ported barrel with xs ghost ring sites.

+1

How bought a Mountie!!

I'd love to see Marlin make a lever gun in 5mm Remington Rimfire Magnum!!

I'll go with a +1 on the SS in 22 magnum or either the mach2 or HMR. I would love to see the .256 WM as well just because I've never seen a levermatic in 256 come up that was even remotely close to what I could afford at the time. Last would be along the lightweight line, not just short. I would take the recoil for that takedown 45 colt that weighed 5 1/2 to 6 pounds. But, thats really dreaming.

Remington Marlin should bring back the 1894 Cowboy 24" 357.Now thats a sweet rifle.

+2 OR the 1894M ... I ain't picky

Ditto. Plug up those two holes on the left side of the receiver and throw out the safety. Put a nice brass magazine follower back in instead of an orange plastic traffic cone. Offer a Mountie version so I can pay high new retail prices instead of ridiculous used rifle prices.

Offer the 336 Sporting Carbine version again. Or not, I already have one so that's moot, but I figured some of the unwashed, ignorant masses who have so far failed to acquire one might enjoy it.

Bring back the 1894M, but do it in stainless (and watch the weight).
