I have a Marlin 1894 in 32 20. I was using it today and it quit firing. a couple of small pieces came out of the reiciever. One is a thin piece about an inch long and the other is a 1/4 " piece that looks like it may have broken off????

Any thoughts? Are they as easy as a Winchester to work on?

    Hello


    I am looking at an old Marlin 1894 (44-40). It has an "18 barrel. It does not look "cut". Can anyone tell me if it is possible that the gun came originally with an 18" barrel?

    Thanks

    Im wanting to buy a marlin 1894 in 357 cal... I can get a brand new one for about the same price I can get a older one.. So far the only difference I know between the two is the safety.. Is there any other differences between the two I should know before I make a hasty dicision... Which one would you prefer????

    need a little info on a marlin I sold here on gb.

    I was emailed asking about

    extraction of live rounds indicate some scoring on the brass and initial headspace check indicates a potential headspace problem. Wont know for sure until I get it to my gunsmith.

    what could cause scoring on the brass iv seen it on other rifles and that had no problems also if the marlin has a potential headspace problem hows is that fixed adn what would have caused it.

    I will stand behind what iv sold I just want to make sure im not taken.
    also would it be better to take the marlin to a gun smith or send it back to marlin if I need to take it back.
    thanks

    I just bought a marlin 1894 lever action , It was fine for the first 300 rounds then it started to jam open. I found out when it jammed open I had to push the round in the magazine foward to finish the cycle. What would cause this to happen?

    Does anybody know how to dismantle the Marlin 1894 type rifle for cleaning? I have no owners manual and the Marlin website does not offer an online manual. Your help would be greatly appreciated


    Anybody comes through that door, you put two in the chest and one in the head!

    What does the "JM" stamp signify on the 1894 barrels. Seems everybody lists it on the auctions.

    You can check the auction side to see what they've sold for in past auctions. I saw one at a gun show a few weeks ago that was NIB condition and did have the box and papers. Price was $595.
    Saw another one this weekend (but in 32-20) in lightly used condition; no box, no papers. Price was $500.
