Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
As the sport of Cowboy Action shooting has increased in popularity, so has the cottage industry of “tuning” guns for cowboy competition. But as the number of specialized gunsmiths has grown, mass-producers of cowboy-style guns have responded with factory tuned guns, ready for top level competition right out of the box. The most recent addition to the factory-tuned gun list is Marlin’s Model 1894 CBC Cowboy Competition Carbine lever-action that, while completely modern in its materials and method of manufacture, harks back to the nostalgia of the late 1800s in terms of styling and finish. From all outward appearances, the 1894 CBC follows established Model 1894 lines. The very first Model 1894 rifles had case-hardened receivers, which were abandoned in 1969 in favor of a blued finish. Realizing that one of the biggest parts of Cowboy Action shooting is looking the part, Marlin wisely chose to give a color case hardened finish to the receiver, square bolt, trigger guard plate, and square finger lever of the new model.

The 20", blued octagonal barrel is another nice 19th-century touch, and its six-groove 1:16" Ballard-type rifling should work much better with the cast bullets used in Cowboy competition than Micro Groove-type rifling. In keeping with the 19th-century look, the Model 1894 CBC has Marlin’s tough Mar-Shield finish that looks like an oil finish on the American black walnut stock. It is notably tougher than oil and more resistant to damage. A blued steel fore-end cap and hard rubber butt pad complete either end of the CBC. The final period touch is the adjustable Marble’s semi-buckhorn rear sight and Marble’s Carbine front sight. The only feature that betrays the otherwise nostalgic appearance of the Model 1894 CBC is the unobtrusive hammer.
