I am considering the purchase of a Marlin 1894 in 44-40 cartridge. I do not have any experience with the 44-40. I am looking for any comments about the rifle and cartridge. I have an 1894 in 44 magnum. I am looking for an upgraded lever action, and I found a beautiful 1894. I am just not sure about the cartridge. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Tom.

Its a gun with collector value as very few 1894's were madein this chambering. About the same performance as your 44 mag.

As I said on the other forum it is desirable.

They are sought after enough that in the "cowboy" section of marlinowners.com there is an "alert" posted everytime
an 1894 in 44-40 is listed on gun broker.

The 44-40 could be a good buy. I've never seen one.
