RUGER DEBUTS MARLIN 1894 TRAPPER CARBINE IN .44 MAG<\/a><\/p>\n

Ruger\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>this week reintroduced a factory stainless big loop\u00a0Marlin 1894 Trapper<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0model chambered in hard-hitting .44 Magnum\/Special and shipping with a 16.1-inch barrel.<\/p>\n

Originally patented on Aug.\u00a01, 1893, by L.L. Hepburn, the Model 1894 was the first flat-top lever action with\u00a0a side eject receiver. However, across its production run, Marlin typically liked to make the 1894 in longer barrel lengths, only making limited runs of short\u00a0“trapper”\u00a0<\/a>carbines. This abbreviated take on the model, in a stainless-steel (1894SS) format, returned to Marlin for brief runs (e.g. 351 guns made for Davidson’s in 2006) and in a stainless big-loop (SBL) variant that popped up in the catalogs for 2011 and 2018.<\/p>\n

Now, Ruger has brought it back for 2024.<\/p>\n

Using a stainless-steel barrel and receiver mated to black laminate furniture, the carbine is handy, taping out at just 33.25 inches overall while still keeping a 13.38-inch length of pull. Weight is 6.3 pounds. (Photos: Marlin)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Chambered in .44 Magnum, the underbarrel magazine tube accepts 8 rounds, or when using shorter .44 Special cartridges, will hold nine.\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

The 1894 Trapper has an adjustable rear and blade front sight made by Skinner, while the cold hammer-forged 1-in-20-inch twist barrel ends with a threaded muzzle (5\/8×24 TPI pattern) for muzzle devices and suppressors.\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

The ask on the new Ruger Marlin 1894 Trapper in .44 is $1,499, a price generally lower at retail. That price\u00a0matches the current\u00a0Model 1895 Trapper in .45-70<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Model 336 Trapper in .30-30,<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0with each of those carbines having a 5+1 capacity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
