SPECIAL ORDER J.M. MARLIN Model 1894 Lever Action TAKEDOWN RIFLE .25-20 C&R
Fine Condition with Part-Octagonal, Part-Round Barrel!
Here we present a J.M. Marlin Model 1894 Rifle in .25-20, made circa the 1940s in New Haven, Connecticut. Marlin was one of Winchester’s biggest competitors for the lever action market in the late-19th and into the 20th Century. Originally patented on August 1, 1893 by L.L. Hepburn, the 1894 featured a new locking bolt and two-piece firing pin, alongside an improved one-piece trigger and a short receiver that allowed cartridge compatibility with the 1888 and 1889 models. It features a solid top frame with side ejection and a smooth action.
The Model 1894 and its successors found particular favor in Canada, Alaska, and the Pacific Northwest, where precipitation combined with cold temperatures sometimes caused top-eject designs to freeze solid. During the Klondike Gold Rush, the solid-top Marlin design was preferred by many prospectors facing subzero temperatures and dangerous animals, since the solid top frame was better at keeping freezing rain, snow and dirt out of the operating parts of the action.
This one features a takedown ability and a special order part-octagon, part-round barrel as well as a tang-mounted peep sight. This is one of the liveliest lever action guns you will ever hold! The lever has a great throw and wants to get back into battery quickly. A great rifle for small game or steel!
The overall condition is fine. Great blue and case colors. The action is strong and crisp. The bore is bright with sharp rifling. A fantastic rifle!
