And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
The diameter and length of the cartridge in the butt cuff suggests .357 Mag. from an owner who has both Marlins.... but not with that gosh awful forend... WTF?
Looks like the S&W Model 1854 tactical lever action to me. I have the stainless steel Marlin in 45/70 and like it a lot. Did have to weaken the spring on the loading gate because it was shaving lead off the bullets when loading. Once that was fixed it is a pretty darn accurate rifle. EdC
You nailed it, Al. Wikipedia has a great page on Marlin 1894s. I'm hoping Ruger eventually makes some in the more uncommon calibers like Malin used to. .41 Magnum and .44-40 come to mind.
JLM- I have both of those JM roll marked Marlins. I was lucky enough to stumble into them when they were still reasonably affordable (+/- $800). The .44-40 is the rarer of the two calibers, as there were only 325 of them made for Davidsons. I'm hoping Ruger starts making them both as I'm sure they'd sell, and it would give guys that have always wanted one a chance to get one without having to get lucky like I did.
I have a standard Marlin in .357mag does fine with .357 loads but jams on .38 special. Have a guide gun Marlin in .444marlin. Does a great job on moose
The guy that owns the rifle on the right probably has 24" wheels and the rubber band tires on his brand new F350 4x4 that's spotless, never been off-road, and has those stupid ground effect lighting kits on the underbody. He probably mixes his expensive single cask whiskey with pepsi. He BBQ's his brisket in the oven with bottled smoke flavoring. He has gucci camo.
But yeah, we're in a renaissance period for lever actions. I got 4 or 5 myself, two of which are VERY old but still shootable. And I'm still dying to buy one of the new Ruger-Marlins.
The one on the right would now be banned in Massachusetts under the new gun control law that seems to have banned almost everything. That shroud makes it an assault rifle (don't laugh it's not funny) and illegal, as is the 9mm carbine in my safe.
An abomination.
ReplyDeleteI second that thought!
DeleteI have the SBL the one on the left with the same front handguard as the one on the right. I love my abomination.
DeleteStraight wall case...possibly 44 Mag?
ReplyDeleteor 357 mag. I have a Rossi lever action 357 with a 16.5" barrel. I have a 140gr load that runs 1460 fps in my S&W 65 and 1990 fps in the rifle.

DeleteIt is a trans-AR. Really a lever rifle but identifies as an assault weapon.
ReplyDeleteMore tacticool nonsense…
DeleteIf you need a light for low light situations, THAT is the way. The muzzle brake will likely keep yer target on the reticle.
DeleteNot sure what it is but if you forward it to me for testing I am sure that in one or two years I could come up with an answer.

ReplyDelete357 mag.
ReplyDeletea set-up for "no semi autos"
ReplyDeleteMarlin on the left and most likely on the right as well.
ReplyDeleteEric.
Marlin 1895 on the left, Marlin 1894C on the right, the bolt that's flush with the receiver side is distinctive.

Oh man! Yes!-Both of those would be wonderful! I do have a Winchester 94 in .44-40, but one/a Marlin in .41 Mag would be great!

Elmo. Henry makes two .41s, one's a shorter carbine, the second a regular; shoots well enough, too.
DeleteDavid
Elmo: Sweet! And I believe you are correct-I'm sure they would both sell quite well. I would certainly (want to) get a .41!

I have a Winchester 1894 Half Octagon rifle in 30 wcf that is ready to go hunting right now. By the serial number it was made in 1912.
DeleteRifle on the right is missing the chain saw attachment, shame that.

ReplyDeleteAs is the Cooey single shot in mine.

I’m going to guess that that’s a good old-fashioned American shoulder bruiser, lol
ReplyDeletelooks like the rifles Alaskan bush pilots use just in case.
