I also have an 1889 Marlin in 38-40. Great rifle and I load black powder with Big Lube bullets.  I have a companion Colt SAA, made in 1886, in 38-40 also.  It’s been years but I think I paid around $800 - 900 for the Marlin.

I have owned 3 marlins all with different bore diameters, all shot fine just had to  load three  different bullets.  Presently have a Navy arms [Rossi} that shoots great.  called company and told they did not ever sell this gun in this calibre.  So probably a rebarreled 44-40.
