Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Marlin Model 1894S Carbine Limited in .44 Magnum/.44 Special is a highly sought-after lever-action rifle that represents a rare and collectible offering from Marlin Firearms. Produced in a limited run of approximately 1,500 units in 1996 only, this model stands out with its compact 16 1/4-inch barrel and distinctive roll mark reading “The Marlin Limited” on the barrel. This unique configuration combines the power and versatility of the .44 Mag./.44 Spl. chambering with a shorter carbine profile, making it ideal for brush hunting, ranch carry, or as a handy truck gun. The shorter barrel allows for faster handling in tight spaces, while still delivering the potent stopping power of a big-bore revolver cartridge, giving it an excellent balance of maneuverability and firepower.

Built on the classic solid-top Marlin 1894 action, this carbine features a side-ejecting design that makes it scope-friendly—unlike many traditional top-eject lever guns—and includes a robust side-loading gate for quick and efficient reloading. The rifle’s walnut stock and forend provide a traditional, handsome aesthetic, and the straight-grip design offers excellent control for rapid follow-up shots. The adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight and hooded front sight are practical for field use, and the rifle’s overall lightweight and slim profile enhance its appeal to hunters and collectors alike. Given its one-year-only production and low numbers, the Model 1894S Carbine Limited holds special value not just for its performance but for its rarity—making it a prized piece in any Marlin or lever-action rifle collection.
