Been looking for a older Marlin in 357...watched so many on GB start at 600.00 and climb to 900-1100 range. Stopped at my LGS on the way to get groceries today and after browsing through the same ol' same ol'...my eyes spied this....
1894 C model...SN puts it about 1984...this thing looks like it's been sitting in a gun sock since it was bought. There are ZERO signs of wear...anywhere. I honestly don't think it's ever been shot. And now the kicker....I walked out the door with it for 550.00

Very nice
I picked up a 1955 30-30 a few years ago.
I always wanted a 357 so I could shoot 38's out of it but they are hard to find.

In a related note, my brother just found a NIB, JM stamped, Stainless Steel 44 mag for sale at a farm & feed store. $675.00 out the door. I hope he remembers me in his will..

Thats a steal, nice find and i'm sure you will enjoy it. I have a .44 mag and it's one of my favorite rifles to shoot.
