MARLIN 1894 DARK .357 MAGNUM

The Marlin Dark Series Model 1894 is a modern lever-action rifle built for shooters who demand rugged reliability, suppressor compatibility, and premium performance. Chambered in .357 Magnum while also accepting .38 Special ammunition, this compact rifle combines Marlin's legendary lever-action heritage with modern tactical features designed for hunting, home defense, and range use.

Built with a CNC-machined alloy steel receiver, lever, and trigger guard plate, the Dark Series delivers exceptional strength and durability. The cold hammer-forged 16.17-inch barrel provides outstanding accuracy and long service life, while the factory-installed radial muzzle brake and 1/2"-28 threaded muzzle make it suppressor and muzzle device ready right out of the box.

Finished in durable Graphite Black Cerakote®, the major components are protected against corrosion and harsh field conditions, while the nitrided bolt and lever provide enhanced wear resistance for years of dependable operation.

The nylon-reinforced polymer stock offers modern ergonomics with integrated M-LOK® attachment slots, QD sling swivel sockets, a comfortable recoil pad, and an included adjustable cheek riser for improved optic alignment. An anodized aluminum M-LOK® handguard and factory-installed Picatinny rail provide ample space for optics, lights, slings, and other accessories.

The Dark Series Model 1894 features an adjustable ghost ring rear sight paired with a fiber optic front sight incorporating a tritium ring for excellent visibility in both daylight and low-light environments. With an 8-round capacity in .357 Magnum or 9-round capacity in .38 Special, this rifle delivers fast follow-up shots while maintaining the smooth cycling Marlin lever guns are known for.

Whether paired with a suppressor, red dot, LPVO, or traditional optic, the Marlin Dark Series Model 1894 is engineered to meet the demands of today's shooters without sacrificing classic lever-action performance.
