Marlin 1894 trigger flop

[bdykd0]

anyone have any experience with trigger flop on their marlin?

just bought an 1894 .44 mag cowboy and it has a dangling trigger ....

thought at first something was unhooked or broken,'

but have since researched it and it's common on the newer models ....

something to do with the trigger being made in 2 pieces now

that will only allow the gun to fire with the loop completely shut ....

have 3 other marlin lever actions and none of them flop

.45 LC cowboy, a 39A, and a 30-30

read about an aftermarket trigger that is one piece

that cures the flop,

but runs arounds $90 ...

also read where someone had pinned and jb weld the original 2 piece trigger into a one piece part and it solved the dangling condition ....

I've shot 200 or so rounds thru it,

the rifle shoots fine;

just errey the way the trigger dangles

should I be concerned

or if it's not broke - don't worry about it ....

My 1894c .357 "flops" until hammer is cocked.

Normal.

Check out Wildwest triggers. Midway puts them on sale every few months for $80 something. Also check out Marlinowners.com for lots of good tips.

The Wild West is a good trigger. I have one on my 1895. I haven't put one on my 1894. Just did a trigger job on it shoots just fine.
