WTB pre-safety Marlin 1894C (.357 mag)

[bigboy67]

Stumbled on this site during a search, looks like there may be a few 1894C's for sale. I already have an 1894, the 44 mag, and now she needs a companion. I am new here, but I use the same username on all sites, and you can look me up on northwestfirearms.com (the site i regularly use) and see that I have multiple trade/buy/sell ratings, and they are all good.

I am looking for a pre-safety Marlin 1894C. Doesn't necessarily need to be a show piece, I am going to shoot the hell out of it after all, but I also don't want something you found buried in a yard.

I've done my research and know what they are actually worth, let's see what you have and make a deal!

Preference of course goes to Oregon sellers so we can meet face-to-face, but I have no problem doing FFL from established members.

you aint kidding rich, these suckers have gotten tough to find, but you can still find a good deal on occasion. I dont want a safe queen or minty in box 1979 or anything, just a decent pre-safety that I can take shooting until the day I die (which hopefully will be about 40 years or so, haha)

There are over a dozen of them listed on Gun Broker. Well maybe not pre safety model :wink:

most times I find that those guys on GB WAYYYYYYY over price their stuff. i know there are still reasonable people with reasonable thoughts, and one of them hopefully is selling a pre-safety 1894C sometime soon, haha
