While I am quite pleased with the accuracy of my Marlin 1894cl in .32-20, and the wood is very nice by any standards, I called customer service today about the double feeding. After having been a small arms repairman and working on God only knows how many 9mm, M-16's, M-249's, M-240's, etc, etc I have decided to let Marin fix this one as it is a brand new rifle.

I will miss her while she's gone, and as I have loaded quite a selection of test ammo for her to work on, I need her to hold and shoot more than 2 cartridges at a time.

Well here we go....

i bought a new 32-20 years ago when marlin introduced it to thier line.
i hated it.
the gun would not shoot onto the same target,let alone group.
i tried different bullets,boolits,loads etc.....
i had to let it go,i am delighted you are pleased however!
i bought the 357 in same marlin and never looked back,its great.

Well ya see that's just it, if the wood looked like a mud fence post and it sprayed the landscape with lead, then I would gladly bid it a fond adue. However, the apprearence is pleasing and she shoots three holes touching at 50 yards with two different powders and three different boolits...I just can't turn thumbs down.

Besides the score against the varmit crowd is 2 possums to nothing my lead.:Fire:
