The WINCHESTER 94 action was designed for rifle length cartridges, the 92
was designed for pistol. This bears no relation to the Marlin 94 action
which was designed for short rifle & pistol cartridges. The Marlin 336 is their
rifle action, aslo their 1895 action. The marlin 1894 is slick and smooth
in pistol calibers.
