[CanadianBaconPancakes]

whats the price range of the older ones? I belive a 1893 1894. Kinda looks like the Win 1894. No idea what it is going to go check it out from the seller today, looking for a project and wanted a leaver acition for a long time.

Looks like a 36, like a 1893 but with a pistol grip.

So do you guys think its worth paying 300$ for?

I would as long as it cycles and the barrel looks decent inside

Closed bolt Marlin for $300?
Check the bore with a bore light.
Gotta ACT and PROVE it first..........right?

You won't find these on the EE very often for three brown ones.

Bore light and eyeball down the barrel....

Maybe check that it's unloaded first...

A proper bore light is best as already mentioned but a good bright flashlight works well. Just bounce the light using a white cleaning patch or even a white slip of paper placed in the open action while looking down the muzzle end.

Thats ill spend some time checking it out. Whats the value on this rifle?

 

[kamlooky]

You said he wanted $300, offer up mawr if'n ya gartzs the heart.

Play around in the EE for a bit.
Go back a bunch of pages and you should get a worth value that way.

i ended up checking it out, from the light i used it looked like the barrel was pretty pitted, looked like a decent amount of rust. And all that said i only have surplus so i seen allot of rough guns. i ended up passing maybe it was just the light i was using but the first thing i could see was pitting scared me off pretty quick.

Maybe it was lead deposits.... hard to tell if the barrel is dirty that's for sure. Good low ball opportunity I guess and see if it can be cleaned up or shoots well regardless.

True, I didn't really want to chance it tho. Not when i could spend about 200 more to get a newer model marlin 336. Not sure but the stock felt abit more cramped then a 336 to me too. Abit uncomfetable. Was there a kids version?

Marlin's made youth models but if it felt short it may have been cut down?
I'd prefer the round style bolt over the square for a user gun..... the square bolt seems more like something a collector would be interested in.
