Well, I for one applaud the effort.
There will always be naysayers proclaiming that a gun isn't this or that. But at least the company is trying to satisfy the (heavy) demand for a given item. This is 1000x better than just hearing crickets IMO. Remember, other versions may be in the works so if there are aspects about the gun you don't like as currently presented maybe a little patience is in order. Just sayin'. |

Marlin is planning a handful of .357 versions.

COSteve post #47 was excellent. I really like the one Marlin 357 I have and am the market for another to go with it. I am not particular either. A Rossi, Marlin or Henry would be just fine. If I had the scratch I would own one of each. The 357 rifle is just so much fun to shoot with everything from pop gun to full power loads. And the powder efficiency is one of the best you can get. Even full power loads only use about the same amount of powder as a 20ga shotshell.

I will have to say, I agree with Model12 100% that 1894 CST made me wanna vomit. A threaded barrel, plastic stocked lever gun?? L......O.....L reminded of that Tacticool Mossberg thing they made SMH. But it does look like things are coming. So I'll be patient and wait! And thanks to COSTEVE for the WONDERFUL post and pics. Very nice looking Rossi!! I'm a simple guy a basic 1894, Rossi 92, or a Henry with a Gate and I'll be happy. HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all!!

Let me know when they actually ship...
'Marlin' has had a habit of cataloging things, and then not delivering... Still waiting for the 1894CSBL to ship... It's only been 6 years since it was cataloged... Any day now... |

I didn't like the lack of a side loading port on the Henry but after owning one for a while, for my uses it is great! No pinched fingers like with my Marlin 1895 GS.
I figure if I can't get what needs doing with 6 rounds of .357 magnum, I am probably in way over my head..........

I’m wondering if and when the 1894 CST would be available.

I just began looking for my second Rossi R92. Looking for a 44 Mag 24" octagon. Just found out Rossi discontinued all 24" octagon barrel models in 2017. Guess what, now the $500 rifle is selling for $900 - if you can find one.
Chiappa has some really nice '92's that are the same $900 but better fit & finish.
