why were people still buying 1894 marlins and 1892 winchesters after 1895 and the .30-30 came out? were the rifles and ammo that much cheaper? I know the 1894 marlin and 1892 winchester, especially trappers, were popular ranch rifles for killing varmints and predators, but Teddy Roosevelt used silenced .30-30 for woodchucks. Also it couldn't have been that popular because winchester stopped making 1892s in 1945 and marlin didn't produce 1894s between 1917 and 1969
