Marlin 1894 Carbine .357 Mag Lever Action Rifle – 18" Barrel, JM Stamped (Circa 1980)

This JM-stamped Marlin 1894 Carbine, chambered in .357 Magnum, is a classic American lever-action rifle built during the brand’s golden years. Made circa 1980 and in great overall condition, it shows only minor imperfections on the stock and light freckling on the receiver, consistent with its age. Smooth, compact, and versatile, this carbine delivers trusted performance with old-school Marlin quality.

Built on a solid forged steel receiver and American walnut stock, this 1894 features Marlin’s time-tested side-ejecting action and a compact 18-inch barrel—ideal for brush hunting, ranch use, or pairing with a .357 Magnum revolver. The JM stamp (for John Marlin) confirms pre-Remington production, which is prized among collectors and lever-action purists.

With its light handling, strong .357 Mag/.38 Spl versatility, and classic cowboy aesthetics, the Marlin 1894 Carbine is a reliable companion in the field or at the range. This rifle blends vintage craftsmanship with practical functionality in a platform that’s as shootable as it is collectible.
