Description:
Only a few light handling marks keep this from being described as 100% cond; the integral scop base (where peep sight had been secured) needs touch up with site black as do the few light marks on the trigger guard.
Includes the clever peep sight shown which utilizes the inegral scope base or may be removed and replaced with a 22 type scope (we have many used Weaver and other 22 scopes available...in quire).
The following description is an approx reprint from the Marlin Collectors Forum:
"Starting in 1964, Marlin produced a modified variant of their popular Model 99 rimfire rifle, stylized to look and feel like the WWII- M1 Carbine. They took the standard 22-inch barrel of the design and cut it down to 18, the same length as the M1. This also produced an overall length of 37-inches, within a bullet's length of the original. Since the Marlin was a .22LR and not a .30 carbine, the action and barrel were lighter, at 4.75-pounds. Forgoing the detachable box magazine of the M1, Marlin kept the under barrel tube mag but shortened it to hold just 10-rounds to keep the profile of the gun similar. A stock redesign and military style ramp sights completed the transformation.
Collectability today
The 99M1 was popular and remained a good seller for the company. It was a regular catalog item until 1978 and new old stocks of the gun were still sold for years afterwards. According to Brophy, some 160,000 were manufactured during this time and retailed for $49-$73. Today the current Modern Gun Values lists them as "$150 in Good condition, $200 in VGood, and $225 in excellent". An informal scope around the internet seems that, when available in shootable condition, these guns tend to go for closer to the $250-$300 mark. "
