1894 Cowboy carrier assembly comes apart - update
The carrier assembly on this rifle - 2006 1894 CB came apart. My wife found the little pin and the retaining washer that goes on it on the floor where it apparently fell out. Is there a spring in there with it also. Has anyone else had this happen? The little pin is on the bottom left of the black bull in the target below. It is a different arrangement than the 1894C made in 1980.

O.S.,
I should have done this before, but I didn't think about till just now.
I pulled the lever out of my 1894 and then could see the carrier from the bottom.
The little piece your wife found is the rocker plunger as I thought. The long end fits into the left (inboard) side of the carrier, a spring fits in there too and then on the right (outboard) side of the carrier the end of the plunger is flared over a larger retaining disk. When the lever cams over the plunger it it pushed to the right against spring pressure, then pops back out.
The retaining disk has come off the end of the plunger and so the entire part has come out.
Chuck 100 yd, is correct. Marlin owes you a carrier.

Some time back someone posted about his 1894 hanging up. He took it apart and found the little rocker plunger sticking out farther than it should and wobbling around. The retaining disk was loose or the the flare on the end wasn't sufficient. At any rate he pushed it back in the hole and tightened up the flare over the disk. That fixed his problem. I just can't remember who posted that.Old Savage wrote:I'll be calling those boys tomorrow or Tues. This never worked quite as smooth as my other Marlins, wonder if it was done wrong from the beginning.
I'll bet yours wasn't properly made from the start.

O.S., when you get the new one compare it to the defective one. Then take some pics for all of us.Old Savage wrote:Update - 3 min call to Marlin customer service and the very pleasant lady says the carrier is on the way.
