So I just got myself a new suppressor and want to grab another lever action in 357 because my Henry isn’t threaded.

I really want a Marlin 1894 Dark but just don’t know if I want to wait forever or if I should just go with a Henry for now?

Any thoughts about when we will see the supply loosen up for this model?

If you don’t have 100% confidence in Henry X model, maybe look into the S&W 1854.

Not impressed with my Henry X model 44 m
Marlin 1894. 44 m  Good to go.

I don’t hate my Henry All Weather, the best way I can describe it is that it was the best option at the time given that Marlin wasn’t really a thing at the time of purchase. It shoots nicely with the two boxes of rounds I put down the pipe but getting the barrel threaded isn’t an option and the aftermarket support for the model just isnt there.
I had a Marlin Trapper in hand when I picked up the can the other day and it just felt better than my Henry. I may pick it up for an interim solution and offload the Henry

If I had the X in 357 or the Henry Hush seriesI probably wouldn’t be looking until the Darks were easy to find. I will take a look at the S&W mentioned above as well.

I have a Henry X in 357 and a Marlin 1894SBL in 44 mag.
Both are great guns but the Marlin just seems built better. It’s smoother and has a nicer fit and finish.

I stopped into the LGS and they had an 1854 Stealth Hunter in 357 that felt pretty good in my hands. I’m doing some more research but I may snag it in the next week or so because I’m liking what I read so far. I’m trying not to be too impulsive because of how bad I want to shoot suppressed 38s!!

Yeah, the 1854 is really tempting as I’ve been waiting on .a 357,1894 Dark to come in stock somewhere. I’m going try to hold out for the Marlin.  I wish someone could tell me when they will become available.  Marlin won’t say…

I like the way the Smiths feel, but what’s the barrel thread pitch?  I’ve got a Henry X in 357 and it’s 5/8-24 so I could just throw a Griffin three lug on it.

The reason I didnt buy a Henry is the 5/8 threading on .357. I wanted 1/2x28 which most 9mm cans will fit and the 3 lug isnt as long.

Well, ended up with the Smith 1854 Stealth Hunter and am super happy, especially shooting 38s through the Omega 36M. Only have a box down the pipe but this is going to be a fun gun!

Bought a Henry X 44mag and was a major disappointment. Accuracy was horrible. Tried numerous factory loads and reloads. Including a known super accurate load I have been using for decades. Which works great in pistols and rifles.

4-6 moa at best. On sand bags on a solid shooting bench. Rifle went to the local gun show and got dumped like all other inaccurate rifles.

There is that, you can buy a clone from the builder but they’re not cheap. I’m going to do a SBL in 44, than have it cerakoted. I’d prefer stainless for a horse gun.
