Anyone seen one of these? I'd like to install one on my 1894C.

Are you looking for places to buy them or how to install them? Not sure what you're looking for, but Midway offers a couple of styles. The descriptions says gunsmith installation required. I don't now anything more about them. Maybe someone else can help with that. Here are the Midway links:

Wild West Guns in AK makes them for 1895, 444 and 336's. It doesn't mention them for the 1894. I don't know if anyone else makes them.

Gunsmith installation my butt! If the model you mentioned is anything like the 30AS, all you have to do is remove the screw the lever pivots on and wiggle the lever around a little and it'll pull right out. It's pretty simple, if I could do it to my hunting rifle since I was 11, I think you should be able to handle it.

R&R is easy enough, but occasionally the snail cam needs to be fitted for the new lever to function correctly.

I don't know If they need to be fitted by a smith or not. Nor do I care. I don't own a Marlin, so I can't put a big loop on one. That was the description Midway gave.
My Midway links were a poor choice anyway. I should have titled it " This is what they don't have for your 1894".
There is a write up on DRC 1894 take down in Rifle Magazine #237 May - June 2008. The rifle has DRC's loop on it.
No phone number is listed in the article, but address and website information are.

DRC ( Dave Clay Custom Guns)
4201 East Renfro Sreet
Alvarado TX 76009
www.drcguns.com (I don't think it is up)

You could try Wild West Guns, maybe they would make one.

Wild West will make a lever for the 1894cs, $175 and your old lever. Well, that took longer then then it should have, sorry for the goose chase.

Gun Parts Corp sells them - www.gunpartscorp.com

FWIW, I had a Rossi .357 Magnum carbine with a factory large loop lever, and I thought it looked great, but it was a PITA to shoot rapidly.
It was a thing made for movies and TV, that has no real purpose if you are actually shooting the rifle and are not John Wayne.
