Walmart sells 1895!

1894 .44 Mag seen in the La Plata store

Now if only I looked into that ammo cabinet and saw Hornady LeveRevolution .35 Remington, and 45/70 sitting on the shelf. I got surprised seeing .300 Blackout so you never know....

I recently got stocked on Fiocchi 300 BLK for my bolt as PSA was selling it at $0.40/round. The stuff is dicey in AR platforms as some lots blow primer caps, but testing known bad lots in my bolt went without issue. That said, it's good to see (or hear of) the increasing presence of 300 BLK at big box retailers.

Did you happen to see what the asking price of the 1894 was in the Laplata store? I fear my poor kids may not get Christmas presents this year

Aberdeen has had an 1895 Marlin in 45-70 for a couple of weeks. I don't recall the finish, since I haven't been in the market for one.

Not off the top, but I will look next time in

Even a Remington $600 is fair in SS. I paid that much for a used one off a member here a couple years back. Now its a JM but.............that was also a couple years back.

The JM stamped guns can be worth 2 to 3 times depending on caliber and model then what the new 1s from Remington make now. The 3 JM lever guns I have are smooth as glass !

So has does the fit and finish look on these Remarlins 95s? Better then their first lot of guns?

Remlins come with free Band-Aids just in case you cut yourself on the sharp edges.

Jeweler's files and fine emory cloth can fix that though.

The fit and finish on mine are excellent, no sharp edges to speak of and the wood to metal matchups are spot on also.

I've heard the newest Marlin's are pretty good. They have replaced and or recalibrated the machines since the move.

As of 2 hours ago, there is a Marlin 1895 in .45-70 Gov't. at the Wally World, in La Plata.
The price was $589.99.

I had it in my hands. REM proofmark.
Walnut stocks. Not the prettiest stocks I've ever seen, but, nice.
Pistol gripped stock, not the straight stock.
22 inch barrel.
Blued.

The action was locked up with a chastity belt. No way to open the action to get a look inside.

No 1894 Marlin in .44 magnum.

I feared that a 1894 Marlin .44Mag would not be sitting in that Laplata Walmart gun cabinet. Thank you for saving me a long drive. Never have seen a 1894 or 95 for that matter at Walmart, hopefully a 94 shows up at the local store.

 

[Boss94]

They need to make the model 1894 in .357 magnum again !

Hey Cap'n!!!!!!!!!!

I'm at work, now, but, I'm willing to go down to "the plate" and ask Jason to show me the 1894, this evening, IF you want.

Lemme know. La Plata isn't "that far" from Waldawf!

(They had a cute little Henry lever action .22lr in the case that was less than $300.00, too!)

 

[Capt Skup]

Thanks for the offer, I will be down in laplata tomorrow, so I will stop by.

Let us know how it looks........ and shoots!

I MUST resist! Christmas is like 40 days away, how can I let the children down. A pack of underwear and couple pair of socks just don't cut it anymore, especially if the kiddies catch Dad fondling his new Marlin in the basement. Even worse laying beside his three other Marlins. I MUST resist. If it is a .357 gun I will be okay, just back slowly away from the gun counter but..... if it is stamped .44MAGNUM......oh, those poor children.

The $$$ isn't the issue, for me. The issue is - "Where in the H E double hockey sticks am I gonna put it???? The safe is FULL!"
