Not a lover of 94s, but that one would be easily restored to a "better" condition if everything functions well.


Get it!

What does “JM” mean in Marlin history? Must be good, because they carry more value.

Not a bad looking rifle.

My funnest rifle to shoot is a 1894. Highly recommended.

I have one also and they are just handy and quick, shoot good too.

The JM is a stamp indicating that it was made/proofed by the original Marlin factory before Remington bought Marlin. It indicates a level of quality generally but the Remington built guns eventually were very good quality reportedly.

JM= John Marlin = real Marlin
