The same follower is used in Marlin 1894 and 336 rifles, regardless of caliber. The 1895 has a different one, slightly larger in diameter.
I have a hard time figuring out why they've gone to plastic, too. I guess it saves some money, but it can't be a lot.

Rossi M92 follower follow-up
I posted a query a couple of days ago about finding a steel magazine follower for my .45 M92. Today, as I was doing a bit of cleaning around my gun-tinkering corner, I found an item I had forgotten I had -- a follower from a Marlin 336. Curious, I removed the flimsy yellow plastic follower from my M...

Rossi M92 mag follower
The only part of my .45 Colt Rossi M92 that I'm not thrilled with is the plastic mag follower. Who knows, the thing might last 100 years, but while a plastic buttplate might be unsightly if it breaks a plastic mag follower could put you out of business in the field. Does anyone know of a steel repla...

There are two shops within 45 miles of here that are like that. Their baseline price appears to be at least MSRP plus 10% -- and they go up from there.

I have no doubt the action will digest +P loads with aplomb.

I've read recently of someone who had a mag tube come loose after extensive shooting of heavy l...

New Levergun, Rossi .45
I picked up my first new-to-me levergun in a while today at a gunshow, a Rossi/Interarms Trapper in .45 Colt. The little gun is clean as a pin, showing very little evidence of firing. When I got it home, I loaded up 9 of my "standard" .45 Colt loads (255 gr. swc, 8.7 gr. Unique), and stepp...

The .45 AR is a superb, mild, useful bigbore revolver cartridge.

There's no doubt in my estimation that the pre-64 Model 94s are, in general, of higher quality than the later ones. If I had my 'druthers (and the money), I'd pick,say, a 1948 version over a 1978 one. However, being as the older 94s are increasingly scarce and expensive, I'll frankly state that as s...
