Marlin 1894P .44 Magnum

[Laurie]

Amongst Marlin collectors they are very desirable. The last two that SYSS sold did do for a grand a piece. Apart from mine, ive actually shot another two. All of them have been outstanding shooters. [Sim G]

Damn! You really have ruined my day. (only joking - you win some, you lose some.) I can't remember what I sold mine for, but it certainly wouldn't have been more than I paid for it, more likely less on a trade-in against something else. I'd never have expected it to become collectible though

Now that you mention it, I remember Dave Shaw saying he got it from Roger at SYSS. The last two digits on my example's s/n were ...98.

Anyway, since this is a 'for sale' thread, it'll still make a great buy for somebody.

Is that your collection Sim?! Holy hell. My jealousy is sky high. Lovely collection.

In essence, yes, but a couple of the modern guns have been moved on with pre 1900 specimens taking their place.

It's the first two digits that make up the date code, Laurie.


Likewise, this is a sales thread and it will make a great buy. Hopefully the "discussion" will be regarded as a "review" to promote the rarity/desirability and overall attraction of this particular rifle.

Just to add to the chorus of worship.
I bought my 1894P brand new in May 2000 and it is still a fantastic shooter.

Thanks for all the positive "reviews" I know Barry appreciates it.
