Description:
MODEL 93 CS "SPORTING CARBINE" IN .30-30 CALIBER WITH STANDARD 20" BARREL, 2/3 MAGAZINE, SHOTGUN BUTT WITH RARE MARLIN FIREARMS CORPORATION BARREL STAMPING. The sporting carbine was introduced in 1923 with the above features. in .30-30 and .32 Special chamberings only. From 1922-1924 the Marlins were stamped "MARLIN FIREARMS CORPORATION." From 1926-1935 barrels were stamped "Marlin Firearms Company." The 1923 catalog described the new carbines this way: "Model No 93CS "Sporting" Carbine, .30-30 or .32 Special caliber, center fire, solid frame, 20-inch round Special Smokeless Steel barrel, two-thirds magazine, 5 shots, weight about 6 1/2 pounds." The catalog description goes on to call it "A special light weight, accurate, quick handling, finely made gun, handling cartridges sufficiently powerful to bring down all North American big game." (etc. etc.) These handy Marlins are quite scarce and don't show up very often. This is one of the better ones I've seen. It shows good lightly faded case colors on the right side of the receiver with stronger color on the bolt and front/rear portions of the panel, the receiver top and left side show more vivid colors. There is also some good case color remaining on the lever sides and upper tang. The upper tang is also marked with a "star" stamping which according to literature published 1936-1927 states that when a Marlin leaves the factory bearing the Marlin star stamped into the metal, it is "as near perfection as the finest materials, equipment, and skill can make it." This example with #9XXX shows excellent deep blue on the barrel and magazine, is equipped with a carbine ladder sight and a blade/bead front sight. The wood is excellent with tight wood to metal fit and has the correct Marlin embossed hard rubber butt plate. the screw heads are excellent and retain fine blue as does the loading gate. Tight action and perfect bore. One of the better ones I've seen.
