  1. 1894
    I have a Cowboy 1894 Ltd. in 45 LC with a 20" barrel. Store-bought ammo ( Federal American Eagle JSP 225 gr. only go about 828 fps at 50 yards. I like to sight the rifle for 100 yards distance. What kind of groupings should I expect for this rifle? I am using a Williams rear peep sight. Thanks...

    These are both 22 LR Marlin rifles and they are almost identical. Except one is a Cowboy & the other a Texan. Any differences? Both similar value? Shenkoh
  3. Cowboy Rifles
    It has a 20" Octagon barrel and in 45 LC caliber. I think the gun was manufactured in early 2000, maybe 2005 (JM). I would like to load it to over 1300 fps. Shooting up to 150 yards. Is Titigroup a good powder to use? Has anyone done that before for this 45 Colt caliber? Thanks!;) Shenkoh
  4. Marlin Collectors
    Hi guys, I'm a big fan of octagonal barrels but not so much crossbolt safeties. I've heard that there are 1895CB out there made just before '83 but i've never seen one for sale lol, it's making me really question if they even exist. Another couple guns i've got my eye on are the 336CB in 38-55...
  5. Cowboy Rifles
    Check this out … went to switch bullets in my leather holster & I find that the ammo has a green, waxy feeling substance on the brass. How does one go about cleaning it up / prevent it?
  6. Cowboy Rifles
    I am new to cowboy gun but recently became owner of this Marlin limited 1894 cb in 45 colt. The gun seems to be in great condition. From the SN I could figure out the year of production being 2008 so not too old. It also has a 20" octagon barrel which is very attractive ti me and usually has a...
  7. 32-40 38-55/375 & Other Non Standard Caliber
    38 55, love this caliber. I bought a Marlin Cowboy last Halloween and absolutely love the rifle as noted in an earlier post. Once my shooting partner and I worked up an accuracy load we get 1.5 inch 5 shot groups at 100 yards all day long. Then I went in search for a 40 65 high wall, but...

    Marlin 1895 CB JM stamped (2006) Condition is Good has one small rub mark from factory on side of receiver, planned on using it so wasn't hung up on finish. Price: $950 Shipping adds $50 shipped from dealer. The first to post "I'll take it" wins the sale.
  9. 32-40 38-55/375 & Other Non Standard Caliber
    As mentioned in my second post we finally got two accuracy loads, one with 4227 and one with blue dot. All our experimentation was done with a Vortex 3X9 power scope. Real men shoot with iron sights so the scope came off and a Williams receiver sight went on the rifle. I'm an old geezer and shot...
  10. 32-40 38-55/375 & Other Non Standard Caliber
    Bought my first Marlin in 1962, yes I am an old geezer, a model 39. Last Halloween I purchased a Marlin 336 cowboy in 38 55 off of Gunbroker. Best purchase in decades. Love this rifle. The challenge has been finding the most accurate load. Have experimented with three different powders, 3...

  12. 1894
    Been looking for a .41 mag Marlin to go with my Blackhawk for close to 20 years. As they say good things come to those who wait. As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I found this in a LGS for well below what they are going for on the auction sites. I had always been looking for an 1894S but I think...
  13. Cowboy Rifles
    Hey all just a quick question. When did the 1895 cb rifles cease to have the "Warning read owners manual" stamp on barrel? Or did Remmington just forget to stamp it. I personally like it not being there.
  14. 1894
    Hello there, I'm new to posting on this forum but not new at all to reading it. I know, this topic has come up many times, but I'm finally fed up, and have to reach out for some advice on the leading I've been getting in my 44 mag with Plain Based wheel weight bullets. I'm not new to...
  15. The 45/70 Govt.
    My "new" Marlin 45-70 Cowboy was just crying out for a leather butt cover, so I made one last night and stained it today. My goals: 1. Raise the comb a little, to allow scope use but without compromising irons 2. Increase length of pull (the gun is a little short for me- see the slo-mo vid in...
  16. The 45/70 Govt.
    Drove from West Wales to Yorkshire (not far by USA standards!) to pick this up today: (JM) Marlin 1895 Cowboy with dodgy Malcolm repro scope: Here in the UK, these things don't grow on trees and tracking down a "JM" hasn't been easy (had one false start with what turned out to be a "REP"...
