The Model 1894’s 20 inch round barrel and full-length tubular magazine deliver a 10-round capacity in .44 Remington Magnum, with compatibility for .44 Special. The ramped front blade and adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sights provide a classic sight picture well-suited to this carbine format.
Its blued carbon-steel receiver is solid-top and side-eject, and comes factory drilled and tapped with four filler screws. A cross-bolt safety with a red indicator and an external hammer provide familiar handling; an off-set hammer spur is included but not installed.
The straight-grip walnut stock is checkered and fitted with a black line spacer, sling swivel studs, and a polymer buttplate bearing the Marlin horse-and-rider logo. The carbine-style forend uses a barrel/magazine band, and the length of pull measures 13.75 inches.
This example represents Remington-era Ilion production in 2012, noted by the MR-prefix serial range. It retains the traditional Marlin layout and materials, with a blued finish over carbon steel and a side-eject action that’s characteristic of the solid-top Marlin design.
