Won an online auction for a 1894 marlin CowBoy 357

[RogueRiver]

SO I won an online auction for a JM- 1894 marlin CB 357 with 24" barrel. So I already reload 38 specials with 158/160 grn swc plain base that I cast, and I have 3k wadcutters I was given for free. They both shoot great in my S&W heavy duty 38/44. Anyone one out there have info on 1894 marlin cowboy 357's made in 1999, I would love to hear about it. I'm still waiting for gun to be shipped. I hope I attached the pic right.

That should prove to be a very nice little rifle!

I have very little hands-on experience with them, but have shot a few, and they were all great!

BTW, you might find a lot of info over at the Marlin Owners Forum.

That rifle looks downright graceful.

It's still waiting to be shipped to me. Can't wait to get it. My winning bid was 450.00. And think I did good for what JM Marlins are going for, let alone the cowboy models.

 

[Guy Miner]

You did great!

It is a shooter, I put a skinner screw-in peep sight on it and with 38's it is like a big 22. holds 14 38's and 12 357's.

Nice looking rifle, always wanted to try 38 specials on raccoons. When I hunted raccoons with hounds always seemed that all a .22LR did was knock them out of the tree and the dog would finish them off.
Enjoy your new rifle. Do you plan on hunting with it ?
