Marlin 1894P - The Firearms Forum

45Smashemflat · 01-12-2007, 04:22 PM

Guys,

Found a Marlin 1894P - the little short bugger with the ported BBL - in .44Mag. NIB Stickered at $469.

Been looking for one to "match" the Redhawk I have.

Also found a used Winchester short BBL .44Mag (Trapper?) in decent shape stickered at $350.

What does the crowd think?

I would go with the Marlin.

My Winchester 94 (30-30) once jammed up on me and I had to take it to a gunsmith to get it functional again - that's never happened with my Marlin 1894 (44 mag).

All other things being equal I'd go with the Marlin but $119 isn't exactly chump change. On my budget, I'd have to give the Winchester a chance, but that's just me.

Of the two, I'd take the Marlin.
