Thanks in Advance.

Regnier can tell you for sure, but should be around 1901.
Marlin lever actions 1870's-WWI, Ballards, and single shot rifles!

Your Marlin Model 1894 was shipped from the factory in New Haven, Ct. in mid-1901 with a 24 inch octagon barrel in .32-20 caliber.

Due to the increasing cost of ammunition, there will be no warning shot!

Gunrunner,
Very interesting that it was sent from the factory as a 32-20. It is now a 24” octagon 25-20 with no visible signs that it had ever been re-barreled. If only it could tell it’s own story! It shoots very well and is a hoot to shoot! I’ve killed several tin cans and even a bowling pin or two with it. Thanks for your input and speedy reply.

Sorry about that! I apparently looked at the wrong line in the records when looking at the caliber. Your gun was indeed a .25-20 caliber gun with a 24 inch octagon barre. It did ship in mid-1901.

Re: Model 1894 vintage
Can you tell me about the barrel that was originally on my Model '94 314XXX? 1905? It now wears a Winchester half octagon barrel.Regnier (gunrunner) wrote: ↑Fri Apr 21, 2023 12:45 pm Kansasplowboy;
