I have recently become interested in lever guns. The primary uses would be target shooting and clearing hogs from the family land. Marlin debuted several new 357 mags at Shot Show, but they have been delayed several times. I emailed the company, and they now claim that the model I am interested in (1894c) will ship to stores in early May. How confident are the rest of you that the new guns will be quality products, given the recent bankruptcy announcement? Am I better off just spending a little more to get a Henry, or possibly just buying the .44 mag Marlin that is available now? Any input from shooters with recent Marlin experience would be greatly appreciated.
