Marlin 1894 10mm Auto — New for 2025

Marlin brings 10mm Auto to the 1894 Trapper—compact stainless lever gun, threaded muzzle, aperture sights. Ideal for woods hunters, ranch duty, and anyone who wants their carbine to pair with a 10mm sidearm.

November 3, 2025 — The new Marlin 1894 10mm adds rifle-length punch to a proven platform. Think fast-handling Trapper configuration, stainless/laminate durability, a 5/8×24 threaded muzzle for suppressors or comps, and a receiver-mounted peep sight. Compared to pistol-only setups, a 10mm lever carbine offers more velocity, better control, and lever-gun charm without going full-size rifle.

What Stands Out

  • First 10mm 1894: Expands beyond .357 and .44 with real-world energy gains over handgun-length barrels.
  • Trapper configuration: Short 16.1″ barrel keeps it maneuverable in trucks, blinds, and brush.
  • Threaded muzzle (5/8×24): Plug-and-play for cans or brakes.
  • Weather-ready build: Stainless steel and black-laminate furniture for hard use.
  • Aperture rear sight: Faster target acquisition and a clean sight picture.

Use Cases

Woods hunting (hogs, whitetails), trail carry, truck/ranch duty, and range days where you want a controllable PCC-style experience—just with lever-action style. With appropriate loads, the Marlin 1894 10mm balances authority and shootability. Add a suppressor and subsonic ammo for especially polite plinking. (Polite… but still spicy.)

Setup Ideas

  • Optics: A lightweight red dot on a receiver or scout rail complements fast handling.
  • Muzzle devices: Suppressor for sound/flash reduction; compact brake for follow-up control.
  • Ammunition: Hard-cast or bonded loads for game; FMJ or JHP for training and zeroing. Always confirm function and zero with your chosen load.

Alternatives to Consider

  • Lever-action rifles — Browse comparable pistol-caliber options to compare ergonomics, sights, and furniture.
  • Marlin brand hub — Check other 1894 Trapper variants in .357 Mag or .44 Mag if you prefer classic revolver calibers with broad ammo availability.
