But Ma, it followed me home!

I cannot keep it though. Here is a really fun lever action to shoot. The Marlin 1894C. Chambered for .357/.38Spl. 



















A friend asked me to clean it and give it the once over.

Disassembled it looks like this for cleaning:



















This is a fun rifle to shoot and I guarantee that it shoots Zombie bowling pins dead!

Congratulations to my 17 Basic Pistol and 4 CCH students this weekend! !

    I have an older version of this one, they are fun to shoot. The 357 is deadly out to at least 100 yds.

    I just picked up the stainless steel version in 44. Hadn't had a chance to shoot it yet.

    Nice. I also have one. (pre-safety) Bought it from an old guy at my church who'd had it for years without shooting it. Turned out to be broken, but I couldn't bring myself to demanding my money back from him so I fixed it and it's a champ now!

    Those are GREAT little rifles!
    I have the same one, and can hit things at 100 yds using the iron sights.
    Very little kick, very accurate, easy to clean, easy to handle, and beautifully made.
    I'm *very* happy to have it, and it's the very first brand new rifle I ever bought.

    No puppy - oh well. But at least you can play with the toy for a little while.

    Congrats to students!

    Good looking gun. One day I hope to get a good lever action rifle. Was thinking of a Henry in .357 or .44 magnum. That's on my wishlist after a .45 1911, ar15, and Remington 870 combat shotgun and maybe an M14. Gotta have priorities.
