With my new found love of my Winchester 9422M 22 mag, I decided it might be fun to have a center fire lever action to add to the collection.
I know Henry makes good stuff, but I just like collecting guns that are either no longer made or where made by the "original" Winchester, Marlin, etc......
So I found a JM Marlin 1894CBC which is a cowboy competition 38 special only with a 20" octagon barrel and case hardened receiver. Is in excellent condition and claims to have never been fired. So.... I bought it. Will be here Friday.
These cowboy competitions are supposedly slicked up from the factory. That is the main reason it is 38 Spl only, but I'm good with that. I don't plan on hunting with it. just plinking and 38 Spl ammo is cheaper than 357 Mag.
Should be at my FFL tomorrow. I'm excited to pick it up. These lever Guns are addicting.
