One word--Ugly. Plastic stock on a lever gun, a Marlin even. Bad enough ruining a lever gun with plastic stock, but then hang a ugly suppressor on it. Marlin should concentrate on improving the quality of their current and old offerings rather than market a piece of crap like this. Fits right in with Mossberg's ugly looking AR style collapsible stock lever action rifles. Suppressors---everyone getting to lazy to use earplugs or muffs. On another gun forum, someone brought this Marlin nightmare up. One poster said it would be like John Wayne wearing Spandex yoga pants. Thumbs down on this one.

Yeah I don't care for the ugly plastic abomination but if you scroll further down the proper 1894's  now include the option for 38/357 caliber to go,with  the 44 mag and 45LC.   Maybe at SHOT Show this year.

I'd really like to have a Stainless 38/357 but I think it might be a mite rough on the timer with the suppressor.  Constant reloads to get ten would also get kinda annoying.  Nah.  I'll pass.
