.41 Magnum

[dromia]

Any one know if there is a production lever action rifle chambered for the .41 Magnum cartridge.

I'm looking for a pistol calibre lever action, preferably top eject I'm corrie fisted.

The .41 magnum was great round that I used to shoot a lot when I had pistols and thought it would be good in a rifle too for gallery shooting.

Marlin lists a .41 Magnum lever action

If you look down the list to 1894FG - you can read all about it.

Marlin 1894 FG. I do not know if they are still making them, but you should be able to pick a used one fairly easy. Marlin also made a straight wristed model some years back. Could do a search and find some threads on this sight as well as others.

Hey - looks like I beat you by...a few seconds

Wish I was that lucky on some of the for sale ads on here

[Hackleback]

I always seem to be a second late and a dollar short as well on the sale adds!

Marlin will refit a .41 Mag barrel to a .44 Mag rifle (along with the other modifications)if you have the desire.

I paid $140 for a well used blood stained straight grip 44 some years back and had Marlin redo it in 41 for around $250

Thanks gentlemen, now I know they are out there I can start looking seriously.

Dromia, I believe Marlin is still producing 1894FG's. I bought one a couple of years ago and am getting ready to shoot cast bullets in it. I'll tell you now that they have micro-groove rifling, if that bothers you, or not.
They are a beautiful rifle. I'd also suggest the Wild West Marlin trigger. It puts the trigger pull down to 3 lbs or so. Much more managable.
