Old Marlin

I hope that no one minds a Marlin ....... This ol Marlin was handed down to my dad from his, then to me, it is an 1893, 30-30 with a 26" barrel serial number dates it to 1901, it has been well used and still shoot great, I will never get rid of it.

There great guns.
I have two of them and shoot both of them.
One is a take down made in 1897. The other in 1924.
My brother used the one made in 1924 to kill an elk with this past year.

The old Marlins are fantastic guns. I have a 1889 24" 32-W we shoot on a regular basis.

I too love the old Marlins I have quite a few.... Latest I picked up in fairly nice condition was a 1893 in 38-55, bore was excellent! Been looking a long time for one in good shape.
Marlins in my opinion were /are a working mans gun like Rugers & they were used well. IMHO!

I have a Killer 1892 that was made in 1895, with a letter that states with special order 28in barrel....in cal 44-40.....

Barrel and gun in great shape...I have always loved that gun...and still do......Scott

Well I have an old Marlin lever that is RIM FIRE and not a 22...I think maybe a 32....

Got it from my Grand Fathers estate many years ago...it has no finish just an old gun....

I need to dig it out and see what you guys think it is....RR

I have a couple of Marlins. This is my favorite. I use it for my days in the cedar swamp. A 336 Marauder in 35 Rem.

Well lets see some more pic's of these Marlins remember the older the better. That 336 Marauder sure looks nice.

SINGLE ACTION PISTOLS AND LEVER GUNS ARE LIKE BACON AND EGGS! IMHO. BOB

That is a fact. One of the guns I have always wanted is a Marlin model 39 .22 magnum to go with my convertible single six and .22lr model 39. The perfect trifecta, .
