| I just picked up an 1894. Floppy trigger appears to be no more. There is slight spring tension that keeps my trigger in a rearward position weather cocked or fired. This one is a brand new production SBL in 357. I have another marlin 44 caliber from last year that has the floppy trigger. It never bothered me and was always just part of owning one of these rifles, but if they did in fact do something to change it it’s a nice small improvement. |

I suppose mine has it, an original GG in 45-70. Never even noticed it, and I have shot the snot out of this thing. Looking at my brass jug, must be 500+ rounds. Attached File |

I have recently bought both a SBL in 44 and just last week I got a 1894 Trapper in 357 from Palmetto. I had read about the "floppy trigger" on the Marlins and also that it had apparently been addressed with the new models. I completely forgot about it until I just saw this thread and went and checked..... Both of my new Marlins have floppy triggers. I might buy the RPP trigger, WWG or the Timney which I believe all correct it, but I would be buying for the improved trigger weight and break. Speaking of floppy.....the 357 Trapper that I just picked up last week has a loose fitting stock. I was pretty disappointed because the black laminate wood on this stock is really nice looking. Marlin/Ruger responded the day after I sent the email saying that a replacement stock is on the way to me. |
