I gotta say, I like the old ones, but that is a cool looking trapper TD! How does it shoot? Man, that thing is compact as it is, it must be super compact when taken down. Makes it pretty handy for travel.

Pazzo, that is the sweetest trapper I've ever seen ..... Take down, octagon barrel, crescent butt, pistol grip, checkering ...... nice!

I'm a little embarrassed but I finally got it out to the range today. Due to time constraints we only managed 25 rounds but it functioned flawlessly and the scope is sighted in. Here's the sighting in target (using Winchester Super X 170g at 100 yards or so), the first five shots are on the far left, then I dialed it in towards centre...lots of potential with this rifle.

Looking good Booters!!
 
1892, manufactured in 1894. One of the few guns that I own which is really and trully not for sale. I don't know exactly why, but this old gun really speaks to me whenever I shoulder it.

Here is a scarce little gun. This is an early 1917 (according to the Polishing Room Records at Cody) Winchester Model 1894 Saddle Ring Carbine in 32-40. The 32-40 is the most difficult chambering to find in the 1894. What makes it a bit more scarce is the special order button magazine and sling eyes. Nice little carbine overall.

Nice carbine, Matt. Looks like it has walnut stocks as well. There were a lot of 94 carbines made in those years with gumwood stocks. Have you ever seen gumwood on a carbine with special order features? Most of the gumwood stocked 94 and 92 carbines I have seen were a mass of dents, pretty soft wood.

Yes I have Mike. I had a 90% 32-40 carbine not too long ago that had gum wood stocks. It had a special order 3 leaf express rear sight as well as sling eyes. That gun was in exceptional condition, not a dent or ding. One I wish I still had. But, sold it as I was getting more into rifles. Oh yes, this one here does have walnut stocks.

Well Road King's "Home for Wayward Marlins" has taken in another lost soul.;) This one is a Model 1893 with a DOM 4-11-1906. As you can see if has been well cared for in the last 106 years and reminds us how nice these guns must have been when they left the factory. The barrel on this gun is 24" 1/2 round with 1/2 magazine. It has a few special features being Pistol Grip Stock, Takedown, Flush type take down lever, cresent butt plate (which was standard and I am happy to see as it is my first TD, PG rifle with this feature) The checkering is No. A style. The front sight is the Lyman No 3. Ivory bead. Caliber of this gun is .32 H.P.S.
The rifle has all the orignal wood finish and lots of original case colors on the frame and bluing on the barrel and magazine tube. :D

Wow, that is a fine looking rifle RK! Nice to see what these special order guns must have looked like back in the day. You can sure appreciate the old world craftsmanship when you see examples like this. I'm curious, how many different styles of checkering did Marlin have?

They offered 8 different styles but there are also a some special order checking that is found on only the most decorative Marlins and these styles don't fit any established catalog patterns. A customer could request a special design or a modification of the patterns listed for an additional charge.
Their styles were called No. A, B, C, D, E, F, G & No.10
 
Matt, lovely little unique 32-40....just love it.

RK, as usual nice find. Thank god you're saving these guns, lord knows there aren't many others that would afford those guns a home :p
