Announced RETURN of the Marlin .357

I went to one of my favorite LGS this week and asked The owner to call around and let me know when he can get me the 1894CST.

He called back to let me know they aren’t shipping yet, but he’s on the call list with his distributors to let him know when they do.
 
I would not buy a new Marlin unless I could put my hands on it and give it a very close look. Remington is still shipping some out with canted sights. Stock fit is another potential issue.
I've got a 1952 Waffle-top 336RC that has canted sights. Marlin has never been perfect.
Not that it matters, it actually is positioned so it gives you a better cheek weld.
My grandfather took more deer & hog with it than I could shake a stick at...
I'll be trying to catch up with him for the rest of my life ;)

Oh, this is what Waffle-top means...it looked like the old waffle iron pattern...
fairly rare to find an Unmolested one these days, lotta folks D/T'd 'em for scopes.

Anyway, specifically to the .357 Model 1894, SASS types are gonna buy em like Hotcakes :)
Hard to beat a Marlin 1894 for slickness after you get 'em worked in good!
I used a .44 chambered 1894 back when my old 4-digit SASS number was in effect,
went well with a pair of .44 Uberti 1873 Cattlemen ;)
