As previously stated, Remington ceased production of Marlin 1894's and 1895's effective August 12 and won't make any more at least for the duration of 2011. They will continue to make M39 .22's and the model 336. Find an older "pre-Remington", Marlin made 1894 or a Rossi 1892. Marlins are easy to take apart & clean, but don't attempt it with an 1892 without a video or detailed instructions & pictures. For CAS use, Winchester 1873 clones and Marlin 1894's are the norm, with 1866's running a close second along with the Marlins, then probably 1892's after that. My 17 yo daughter shoots an older "pre-safety" Rossi 1892 .357 SRC with .38's and has won her category at the state match two years running. She won her category and beat me by one place overall at this weekend's two day Territorial match with it too - I was running a Marlin .38 spl CBC.
