Marlin 1894 Classic .357 Mag

Product detailed description

A legendary symbol of the American Wild West.

The Marlin brand is synonymous with this type of rifle. Marlin® lever-action rifles, manufactured by Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc., are made in the USA with great pride and crafted with attention to detail. You can expect the same tried-and-tested features of a traditional Marlin rifle, backed by Ruger’s high standards of manufacturing quality. Refined manufacturing processes, minimal manufacturing tolerances, multiple quality controls, and daily checks on accuracy and the manufacturing process – all of this results in a high-quality product. Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc. is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of durable and reliable firearms for the commercial sporting market. Ruger offers users nearly 800 variants across more than 40 product ranges under both the Ruger and Marlin brands.

The superbly crafted stock and fore-end, made from American black walnut with a distinctive checkering on the grip sections, enhances the practical value of these meticulously crafted rifles. It provides an excellent and secure grip in all weather conditions and is also very aesthetically pleasing. There are slingshot loops on the lower part of the stock and on the fore-end. The lower part of the stock features a red and white Bullseye symbol.
The stock is fitted with a low, soft rubber buttplate which effectively absorbs recoil.

The bolt housing and charging handle are CNC-machined from alloy steel forgings. The bolt has a satin-finish black coating. The original model from 1894 was the first rifle to use a flat bolt with a side ejection port, and this feature has naturally been retained in this ‘reborn’ original. The upper part of the bolt is threaded to allow for the fitting of an optical sight if required.

The 18.63" long barrel with a 16" twist is made from cold-forged alloy steel; its precision-cut six grooves ensure exceptional accuracy and a long service life.
The tubular magazine under the barrel is loaded via the loading port on the right-hand side of the breech.
The magazine holds 9 rounds of .357 Magnum and 10 rounds of .38 Special.

Adjustable semi-buckhorn sights are ideal for quickly aiming at a target. The front sight is fitted with a protective cap.

The rifle is fitted with a manual push-button safety catch and a safety notch on the hammer, which allows the weapon to be loaded whilst remaining safe.

The Marlin 1894 Classic performs reliably with a wide range of factory-made cartridges and rounds in .357 Magnum and .38 Special calibres.
