"The New Marlin Repeater 1894" offered a variety of types such as the half-magazine Baby Carbine, the regular carbine, and the musket, as well as the usual standard rifle, upgraded with a short magazine.
The early issue of this popular rifle produced a total of 10,738 carbines and 35,948 rifles between 1894-1906, offered in .25, .32, .38, or .44 caliber. Marlin reintroduced the late-model Marlin 1894 in 1969 in .44 magnum. This newer rifle has a heavier stock with either pistol grip or straight grip, shotgun-style buttstocks and a chunky forearm.
