Hi Y'all;
I'm pretty much a newbie here. I do own a Ruger Vaquero, .357 and man is it fun to shoot. Been looking for quite a while for an 1894C; but you can't find one anywhere. Well; last week I decided to go to the local Cabela's and check out their used rifles. The only cowboy rifle was a Puma in .45. I really want a .357; same as the 6-gun. Well. I meandered around to the new gun side and headed for the lever-guns. What to my surprise is sitting right out in front; but a Marlin 1894C in .357. I took a number and when they called it I got a-hold of my first 1894C. "SOLD", I said. What a nice piece. Can't wait to shoot it. Going to take it to the range tuesday. I do have a question though. What is "safe" style ammo for these rifles,, as far as the "chain reaction" firing in the magazine is concerned. Can I use any flat-point ammo? I have WInchester JSP that I am going to try. Any suggestions?
Thanks for the respone.
Happy Trails
