I figure my options are
Marlin 1894c (18 1/2" barrel) I have heard this is picky about case length and it can be tough to single feed. That said they are built well and easy to take down / clean.
Puma 1892 copy (available in 16" stainless steel
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
Henry Big Boy 357 I hear these have reliability issues
Used Winchester 1894 357 (16" Trappers are out there and my old 44 Mag. Trapper fed 44 Specials fine) These are easy to single feed but harder to take down then the Marlin
I'm leaning toward the Puma but the ability to reliably feed both 357 and 38 rounds would push me either way. This would mainly be shot with handloads but it needs to be able to feed factory rounds as well.
Thanks in advance!
