Lever Guns

Dunno what RR uses, but searching for author 'Mic McPherson' on bookfinder.com finds copies of 'McPherson On Leverguns: ...'.

Sorry if this has been discussed in the 86 previous pages, but what is the scoop on new production Marlin 1894s in 38/357 magnum? Is there a serial number range to look for on recent production ones? Not interested in trying to source/pay for a vintage Marlin.

I've been looking hard for a manually operated rifle. Even though it's a just-for-fun gun, I don't want to deal with the nightmarish quality/reliability issues I've read about in the past.

shootist26,we've seen a few,very few small issues,stock and forend stain not matching and a stiff action on one 1894C,all of which Marlin fixed quickly.I'd buy a new Marlin without hesitation.I especially like the 1894CST and the 1894C.

This. I'm 500 rounds into an 1894c. I can find cosmetic niggles, which frankly is true of every era of Marlin production. It runs great.

I recently picked up this Winchester 1894 AE in .44 Magnum. I love it. It’s very light and handy. I need to find some aperture sights for it, probably the WWG type.

Curious what you'd think of this combination. If the dovetails are "standard," it should all work. The Williams web site is hard to use, but you should be able to confirm applicability there.

Might need a different height, but this is what matched my Marlin .357:

Put the ghost ring from this set on the blade above:

The parts are aluminum, so may not take being dropped on the sights as well as steel, but they seem to work for my weird eyes.

I was just fooling with a friends muzzleloader which had a mid-barrel aperture sight. I found that combination to be neither quick nor precise.

Curious why a set of sights from either XS or Skinner aren't on your list?

I have guns with XS sights, and they’re just ok. The shotgun GR set I have ran out of adjustment. I like Skinner, I would just prefer something that is shielded/has wings.
