[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Marlin 1894p

Posted: 1/23/2015 3:16:31 PM EDT

I've got a Marlin 1894p from 2001 in great condition. About 200 rounds through it, and just one small mark from the bolt on my safe on the forearm. Still have the box and everything that came with it. Great little gun, but I never shoot it, and don't really have a need for it.

I see them going for $900+ on Gunbroker. What would you do with it? Do you think it will go up in value significantly as the years go on, or has it generally topped out in value?

Are they actually selling for that much or are they just getting listed and then the auction expires?

I bought mine used in like new condition less than ten years ago for $350. It's a hell of a fun gun. I shoot the shit out of it every chance I get. It's honestly one of my favorites. Probably one of the last guns I'd ever get rid of.

Most of the marlins that are getting the higher prices are the SS (stainless steel) in some calibers. 44mag SS marlins are selling for over $1,000, and good luck with a .357mag. The older real marlins will hold their value because of their quality.

check out Marlin Owners forum to get an idea what it's worth. You could list it on the classified section also, but you need 25 posts to use the feature.

ETA. there is a guy on Marlin Owners that is looking for a 1894p.

Thanks for the replies guys.

gunner - You would think I'd be smart enough to look for a Marlin forum, guess not.

Found some good threads, looks like most agree that $900 is a buy price for sure. Reading all the comments kind of makes me want to hang onto it though.

If you don't need the money I'd probably hang on to it since they aren't making them anymore(at least the "real" Marlins). I had 7 JM Marlins last year and ended up selling 5 of them to fund other gun purchases. I figured since I can't hunt with them in my home state and the prices were where I could make a little money on them why not get rid of a few. Now I regret getting rid of a couple of them.

Marlin 1894P and 1894M would be keepers in my book...

Keep that gun!

Wow a 1894p, I don't get over here much, mostly on Marlin Owners, that is very hard to come by rifle sir. Absolutly worth $900+, they ain't making them anymore and will likely never again make them. I would hang on to it as the price will only go up now. If you really want to sell it Gunbroker would be the best place to get top dollar for it. Good luck with that fine rifle!
