Could do without the barrel band carbine type forend. Don’t know why someone needed that change. Maybe “classic” has something to do with it. I guess not a huge deal.
1:20 6 groove rifling though which is something we all wanted.
Other than that I’m excited for the SS version.

"Suggested Retail" --- $1,239.00
Wonder what the street price will be.
Guessing it will be north of $1000
Very attractive rifle

Looks good. Wrong caliber. It will suit a lot of people just fine. Glad it hit the market.

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.

DO IT!, you're not getting any younger and the experience of making "IT" yours is (ugh) priceless.
Me, holding out for maybe a Ruger 1894 in 45 Colt. who knows if it will happen.

needs more ammo
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.

Nuthin like putting a huge scope .. setting high .. on a compact 44mag carbine

Only if they have a decent rifling twist to it... my JM Marlin had that awful 1:38" twist...
I'd love to see one in .41MAG, and particularly a stainless... but I suspect that's a bit far down the trail.

I'll take a blued and a ss one please!
@Varminterror , do the b&d, and then I can copy you! A 357 bain and Davis lever would be amazing.

Yeah, let me know when they make one in .41 Magnum.

Unfortunately Numrich does not have any .357 barrels on hand that you could rechamber. Looks like a turn-from-a-blank project.

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.

I would like a .45 Colt model myself. Blued steel and walnut would be cool, but an “all weather” Stainless Steel one would really be super cool.

I won't be getting one. Already have one in 45 Colt and 357. They are Remlins, both are finished nicely and function without issue. I would think 45 Colt would be popular just behind 357. Who knows.

Since we are all being nitpicky... barrel is too long. Pistol caliber Lever-actions should be 16-inch or less. 
I agree!
I put a red dot on my JM 1894 .357. Functional & looks much better.

I've had multiple JMs in .44 and .357 and parted with them all because I never really took to lever actions. Nevertheless, I still think they look very cool and a new one is somewhat tempting. I'd probably opt for a .44 and load it with .44 specials.
