The bolt assembly comes put easy and a good wash with WD40 on a clean rag does wonders.

Good to know!

bapak2ja, Glad you got yourself a good .22 rifle. A little FYI: The 9422's were NEVER modified for a cross bolt safety, or any safety of any kind. They retained the original half cock safety action from introduction till they were discontinued in 2005. Where this CB safety misinformation came from ...

I got distracted and neglected this forum far two long. I did not get the Cimarron. As indicated in an earlier post, I experienced the "snooze and lose" syndrome. I purchased an 1894C Marlin in .357mag. I have not had a chance to take out for deer but I have had a good time learning to sho...

I took the Marlin 1894C in .357 to North Carolina with me. I really enjoyed shooting it, but it took me a while to get used to it. Here are the best results I achieved at 25yds. I rested my elbow on the table for all the shots. Targets are posted in the order in which they were shot. I put 3-4 round...

Once again, if you're having an issue with a Marlin 1894, I suggest you look over the hints, fixes and work arounds offered over on Marauder's Rifle & Pistol Hints page down in the Marlin section. If Adirondak Jack recommends it... it's gotta be good. (And as I recommend the section on Rossi's ...

Minor deteil/correction - "Marlin 1894C in .44 magnum" - I don't think the "1894C" is ever a .44 Magnum in Marlin nomenclature (I may be wrong on that). You'll love that gun. After recently disassembling my Rossi .357 it reminds me how much nicer the Marlins are to fiddle with. ...

I have one of those and it has a 4x Leupold compact. I think the best group I got with it was about 1 1/2" at 100 yds. PMC 158 I believe and mine snags a bit too when you work the lever. http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e295/Calfred/P2291232.jpg Great photo! That is the puppy! I am still deba...

They had a Marlin 1894C in .44 magnum. Brand new. Beautiful. Good price. They also had a Marlin 1894 Cowboy with a 16" barrel in .357, used, at a very good price. Seems Tomlinson's has an excellent repeat customer who often buys a new piece, shoots it a bit then trades it back for something el...

Are you in Busco? I stop in Tomlinsons every few months just to look around. I'm in Fort Wayne, just off Carroll Road. I drive up there occasionally, but I went there this time to check out the inventory—hence, the new addition to my arsenal. I plan to visit Busco more often now that I have found o...

I have been looking for a good buy on a lever action that I can use for deer in Indiana, home defense if bad times, and general plinking. After serious research I decided I wanted this one: Marlin Model 1894 Cowboy 20" Octagon 357 Magnum, octagon barrel with Ballard type cut rifling, 10 shot ma...

Bummer. It sold before I could get back to the owner.

Thanks for all the advice!

First post on the forum. :D I have a chance to buy a safe queen Cimarron 1892 in .45 LC for $550. It is four years old with less than 200 rounds through it. Three questions: 1. Is this rifle worth the price? 2. Is the .45LC readily available? 3. Would I be wiser to wait for a good deal on .44 magnum...
