WTB 357 or 44 lever for cowboy
Looking to buy a 357 or 44 mag for Cowboy Silhouette. Prefer a 24" octagon bbl. 357 Marlin 1894 but others will definitely be considered. I'd just buy new but everybody is flat sold out! Bonus here is if anybody is willing to part with one it may already have a Williams rear and a Lyman front. Let me know what you got kicking around collecting dust.

If you're only interested in it for PCCLA, Rossi sells a 24" 357 that works well with 125-158gr low velocity loads (1 in 30 twist, IIRC). Those regularly sell used for $500 to $600.
If you wish to also use it for CLA (full sized long range targets), you'll need to keep an eye out for the Marlin 1894 with the 24" barrel (1 in 16 twist) as it handles the heavier/higher velocity loads better. Good luck on finding one of those. I've been offered $1200 for mine and wouldn't dare sell it.
