About the Marlin Model 1894

The Marlin Model 1894 is a classic lever-action rifle known for its compact size and pistol-caliber chamberings. Originally introduced in the late 19th century, it was reintroduced in modern form and has remained popular for cowboy action shooting, hunting, and home defense.

Chambered in calibers like .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, and .45 Colt, the 1894 provides a smooth cycling action and a rugged design. Modern versions maintain traditional aesthetics with updates in materials and build quality.
