I took this out to do some plinking yesterday; I had forgotten just how sweet the little girl really is. 1982 Marlin Model 1894C. Barrel shortened to 16 1/4"; magazine shortened to hold 5 rounds of 357. Taller front sight installed, barrel band moved back and sling swivel mounted to magazine tube. I traded into this little gem in the late 80's or early 90's with a very unloved, despicably performing Ruger P-90; I definitely got the best of that deal. She handles Lyman 358156 sized .358 and checked beautifully over a heavy charge of any slow burner. Got her cleaned up and ready to do it again.
