His location is - CANADA. Different set of rules up there. ..... .
I have a Marlin 1894C (18-1/2" barrel) bought new in 1981 and a Winchester/Miroku 1873 (20" barrel) bought new a couple years ago. Both are chambered in 357 Magnum and are great rifles to shoot.
The Marlin has a micro-groove barrel and cast bullets are difficult to get to shoot well. So I usually only load jacketed for it.
Some oddballs.

Thanks, looking forward to trying it out! Think itll make dad happy to see the ol girl getting some use aswell.That's a very good sighting combination MidRoad...I have the same set up on another Marlin here on the farm. Rod
I wonder what’s the percentage of actual 44 magnums that get shot out of revolvers. 44 rounds of magnum out of a three inch 629 had me pining for something special or even Russian. I saved the last six rounds just to have them and went short brass from there on out.
44 Mag is ridiculous
Heres my JM stamped marlin 1894c. Bartered with my father for it lol. He bought it used back in the late 80's with the Williams peep already on it. I pulled it apart and cleaned it thoroughly (dont think its ever beend cleaned!).
Crappy pics, but took them to send to my dad and brother to show the new mount setup. I bought a cheap aluminum mount off amazon and cut it down to mount a red dot. The mount has a nice low valley so you can still utilize the peep with no loss of sight picture. Have a quick release mount on the way so i can use both irons and the red dot.
Plan on deer hunting with it this year. Great little carbine for the thick upstate NY woods. Have 4 .357 revolvers so this rifle will go excellent with them. Looking forward to getting in the woods this year.

That’s one of the baddest rigs I’ve ever seen! NiceMy guess is there are some people who love that kick, but that the number isn't real high. Were I walking around in bear country, yeah a big honking .44 mag in a chest rig would be nice to have, but for me personally, it's just a bit much to shoot for fun. I absolutely love to shoot my .44 mag lever gun though. You get more FPS with a 16" barrel, and the added weight plus being able to shoulder it makes for a much more pleasant shooting experience. More accurate too, and with the red dot, and light, a lot faster on target, and capability in hrs of darkness or low light areas. A .357 mag could be set up the same way. Had I known I was going to pick up a .357 pistol in the future, I'd have gone with a .357 carbine...

Yea seems not to mess your hand position up when carrying bybthe receiver. My QD mount came today, heres what that looks like. Its a tad taller than the other mount, so i could sneak the red dot back a slot aince the flip cover now clears the peep.Mid road- That’s the same idea I had with a small red dot.
with mount… can you still hold rifle with hand on action comfortably?
That Mare's Leg is a SBR ... a "Short Barrel Rifle" .... somewhat frowned upon without a NFA tax stamp. I'd put the original grip back on and send that photo into the twilight zone.
I have a 16” Rossi M-92 in .357/.38, and a M-92 .45 Colt and a Win 1894 Trapper in .44 Mag.
Of the three, I must admit that the .45 Colt is my favorite rifle. Loading those fat cartridges through the gate and thwacking my steel plates is loads of fun.

The .357 is another fun plinker that I’ll occasionally pair with a K-frame .357 for SxS adventures in the back country.

Stay safe.
He's in Canada. The NFA doesn't apply.
Surprised it didn’t bounce off a bumblebee- as most forums state the 357 is a barely capable cartridge
Just put this one together. Henry all weather 357
Excited to go break it in!
