Description:
MARLIN 1893 .38-55 26" OCTAGON RIFLE, #187XXX, MADE 1899. This one shows fine deep barrel blue with the mag tube ageing brown with no evidence of cleaning. The barrel markings are sharp as is the tang marking and has the desirable "SPECIAL SMOKELESS STEEL" barrel stamping. The receiver is also an uncleaned mottled gray with traces of case color in the most protected areas and good blue on the loading gate. Screws are excellent, fitted with original buckhorn rear sight with elevator bar and Rocky Mountain blade front sight. Fine butt stock and forearm with the butt stock having a neatly done copper rivet through the wrist for reinforcement. I can only find one tiny hairline crack coming back from the lower tang for about an inch that is hard to see- I guess this was enough for a past owner to reinforce. Bore is a little dark only, but shows fine rifling throughout. An attractive early 1893 with some frontier character!
