Marlin 45/70

[Craig0ry]

A friend of mine has a marlin 45/70 from mid to late 70's I believe, Its JM stamped and seen less than 5 rounds. I was wondering if anyone could give me some info on it and approximate value? Thanks guys!

Any idea on what it's worth?

All the ones I’ve see for sale were upwards of 2k plus
really not sure if they are worth that though

Keep an eye on Swtizers auction for a value. They have an auction going on now

A buddy of mine sold a similar rifle last year. It was not nearly as nice as yours and he got $1700.

The value of marlins has skyrocketed over the past few years. From what ive seen on the EE and LGS they are selling at around 2k maybe a bit more. I personally wouldnt sell that gun, but if i did id start at 2500.

If you can afford it make him a offer. Took me 40 years to afford one.
