Marlin 1894 Guide Gun: A Modern Classic

The Marlin Model 1894 Guide Gun represents the pinnacle of lever-action rifle design, combining time-tested mechanics with contemporary refinements. This .44 Rem Mag rifle is purpose-built for hunters and shooters who demand reliability, accuracy, and durability in the field.

Barrel and Action

The heart of this rifle is its cold hammer-forged alloy steel barrel, which produces ultra-precise rifling for exceptional accuracy and longevity. The receiver and lever are CNC machined from alloy steel forgings, ensuring consistent performance and durability. The 20.25-inch barrel strikes an ideal balance between velocity and maneuverability in brush country.

Capacity and Feeding

The tubular magazine holds 10 rounds of .44 Rem Mag ammunition, with a convenient loading gate located on the receiver. The rifle also reliably feeds .44 Special, .357 Magnum, and .38 Special ammunition, making it versatile for various hunting and sport shooting applications.

Sights and Controls

• Front Sight: Brass bead with protective hood for quick target acquisition
• Rear Sight: Adjustable semi-buckhorn design for precise aiming
• Safety: Positive push-button cross-bolt manual safety with traditional half-cock hammer
• Offset Hammer Spur: Allows for easy cocking without interfering with scope mounting

Stock and Ergonomics

The black laminate buttstock and forend are finished with sharp checkering that provides excellent grip in wet or cold conditions. The laminate construction remains dimensionally stable in varying weather, ensuring consistent handling year-round. A soft rubber buttpad effectively absorbs recoil, making extended shooting sessions more comfortable. Sling swivel studs are included for easy attachment of a carrying sling.
