Kentucky Rifle
Member In Memoriam
Guys, I'm still blown away by my wife's offer of a new Marlin lever action rifle as a 25th anniversary gift. (She somehow found out that I wanted a .357 mag, lever action. I guess my gun shop owner told her.) She just called me and she wants to order it THIS WEEKEND! (WOW!!!) However, she also wants to make sure that I'm going to be happy with the rifle. She's heard me talk about the reason I purchased my Bushmaster Shorty with a "plain barrel" because that AK style muzzle brake makes the rifle more noisy. Her thinking is that the 16.5 inch barrel on the "CP" model is ported, and that will equal muzzle blast & noise. However, on the 1894C, whose barrel is only 2.25 inches longer, and has no porting, will equal less blast and noise for me PLUS the shooter beside me. (WHAT a WOMAN!!) Please give me some opinions regarding the blast noise thing. She wants to order this rifle this weekend. I'd be happy with either rifle but had originally picked the shorter "CP" model.
Thanks,
KR
