Let me translate for you.
Yes, you can shoot 38 spl in them. (Marlin 1894 c) I like the 35 rem marlin 336.
I do shoot 158 grain/125 grain pistol bullets in my 35 rem. They are like varmint disintegrators. very explosive when driven fast. Not a good choice for deer. .35 going into a groundhog and about 1.5 inch coming out.
If you got one of the rem/marlin's (Has rep in a circle on the barrel) let me know hows it works out. They new factory has had some issues getting into the lever game. Seems they are better at bolt action guns.
I won't buy a Marlin that was made after the Remington takeover.
If I was in the market for one I'd look for a good used "real Marlin".
I hate to say it but most of the old American standard guns like Browning & Winchester that you can trust to be of respectable quality off the rack are coming from Howa & Miroku of Japan.
One of the old American standards you can still count on not to sell you a piece of junk (most of the time) is Savage Armsfrom Westfield, MA. The old Savage Model 99 lever is a good gun but I don't think Savage makes new ones any more.
The Rossi guns that look like 92s are made in Brazil.
