My new lever arrived in 2 pieces

[Killer Kanuck]

Although it did make it a little cheaper to ship.

Marlin 1893 takedown in 30-30, made in 1901. Some time in the past someone cut the barrel down to 20" (a while back, but they did a good job - see the last pic) but the bore is good so she should make a decent shooter. Locks up good and tight too - bolt and takedown mechanism. Just something about a rifle that will fit completely into a box 22" in length

Well.......since its broke in half.....I'll take it off your hands for $100.00...





Nice gun.

Are you sure the barrel was cut? They had a whack of variations on those old rifles...dunno if they did a takedown Short rifle, but why not?
Beautiful rifle, BTW.

I had the serial # checked against the Marlin records - it left with a 26" tube. Plus the dovetails, although in the right spot, are just a little "off" Marlin's usual dovetails.

Even so, she's a sweet chunk o' iron!

 

[BigUglyMan]

Well that's it, it's bubba'd. Best be rid of it ASAP. I'll PM my address!

[bogie]

Okay, Ill give ya $150 but not a penny more! So, Im jealous. Love those old Marlins. Never been a big Winnie fan and owned one for a while but I have a soft spot for the Marlins. Nice catch.

 

[Matt74]

The seller's name was Dave, if that's what you mean.

I like the custom Marlin Electric Rifle, sorta of their take on the old Colt Ligtning!
