DO IT!, you're not getting any younger and the experience of making "IT" yours is (ugh) priceless.How blasphemous would it be if I buy a Ruglin 1894 44mag to get the faster twist, then tear the barrel off of one of my old slow twist JM 1894’s so I can convert it to 357/44 B&D?
I’ve been planning to buy a new 1894SS when it comes out and convert that, but for the faster twist, I might prefer keeping a Ruglin intact and modifying my old JM - she’s out of warranty support anyway.
Looks great. The video on that web page says the .357/.38 is coming soon.
The video on that page also shows an AR height scope mount on that 1894 .44 lever gun. You'd think Marlin/Ruger could have put forth a little effort to present that gun in the video with a proper scope mount.

Me, holding out for maybe a Ruger 1894 in 45 Colt. who knows if it will happen.

Nuthin like putting a huge scope .. setting high .. on a compact 44mag carbine
Unfortunately Numrich does not have any .357 barrels on hand that you could rechamber. Looks like a turn-from-a-blank project.

I agree!If I have said it once I have said it a thousand times, it should be a crime against humanity to put a scope on a lever rifle. Perhaps a hate crime.
