Up for auction this week is a Ruger-made Marlin SBL Series Model 1894™ lever-action rifle. Ruger's records reflect this rifle was roll marked on January 27, 2024. It was a Sales & Marketing photography sample, was never sold, and has not been fired beyond normal factory test firing. This Model 1894 lever-action rifle was launched in March 2024. Chambered in .44 Rem Mag, the rifle features a 16.1" cold hammer-forged stainless barrel with a 1:20 twist. The threaded barrel (5/8"- 24), comes with a factory-installed, match-polished thread protector and will accommodate a muzzle brake or other barrel accessories. This SBL Series Model 1894 sports a handsome gray laminate stock with crisp checkering to help maintain a good grip in virtually all-weather conditions. The rifle also utilizes a fiber optic front sight with a tritium ring and an adjustable ghost ring rear sight. The steel receiver, big loop lever, and trigger guard plate feature a polished stainless finish. The Picatinny rail provides a stable mounting surface for scope rings and a variety of modern optics, and the tubular magazine holds 8 rounds of 44 Rem Mag or 9 rounds of 44 Special ammunition. The rifle will ship in its original rifle box along with an instruction manual, hammer spur, and locking device.
