I know someone will be able to find this very quickly but I have searched many manufacturers websites with no luck. I am looking for a lever action rifle in 357 that has a 16 in barrel. I would also like it to be stainless steel with a laminate or synthetic stock. Finally although not a deal breaker I would like the magazine tube to go all the way to the end of the barrel.

My 1894C has a 16" barrel, but it was done as part of a customizing job nearly 20 years ago in order to make it lighter, handier and easier to use horseback, ATV or enclosed vehicle. It surprised me at the time, but after I thought it through I realized why the chrono'd muzzle velocity actually gained a small percentage in speed after the barrel was shortened with my chosen hand load. I had figured that I would loose a little, not so. I installed a receiver sight to gain a longer sight radius and found that the little rifle is a really fine performer within the limits of the 357 Magnum cartridge. 158/160 grain bullets over A#9/296/H110 are what work best in it.
 
not on the website but printed in their catalog: Marlin 1894 CSBL:
stainless, 16 1/4 barrel, big loop and ghost sites, scout type rifle.

if it wheren't for the laminated wood stock, I would order one miself,
 
I personally would look at the 1894CSS. It has an 18" barrel, not a 16" but has a full length mag tube like you request. The rifles are actually very short and compact and kind of have the "cute" factor. I would give them a look, although with the problems going on at Remington, I would definitely give the rifle a good look before purchasing.
