I just acquired a Marlin 1894 carbine in .357 magnum.
This is my first Marlin lever gun. I am sure I can write Marlin for a user manual?
It has micro-groove rifling, and no crossbolt safety. I looks brand new minus some hand wear on the fore stock. No checkering on the stocks and it has a straight grip.
Man, I really like how it handles....fast and light. I am a DA revolver person with my strong preference for the .357 magnum round. This carbine should fit right in.
Is there anything else you can tell me about this gun?
Serial number is 201193XX.
The previous owner added a thumb cocking extension and it has a gold bead front sight.
The barrel has an oval with the initials "JM" inside to oval. this is on the barrel near the receiver. Are these initials common for Marlins?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
