Default RE: marlin 1894cb

I like the .32 H&R, and was looking forward to the rifle's production. However, the magazine will load thru the front of the tube, like most tube magazine .22s, and NOT thru a loading gate on the receiver, like the rest of the 1894s. I don't know if this was decided by the engineering department or the marketing department, but I'm not wild about the arangment.

That is one thing wrong with cowboy shoots. IMO they make you be so "period" in many ways but then let you shoot calibers that did not exist.
Biggest problem I have with cowboy slaction are the whimp loads allowed. If you are going to shoot a frontier caliber, you should be required to stick to the original full power ballistics. No .45 Colts at 600 fps, thank you!
