Antique MARLIN Model 1892 LEVER ACTION .22 Caliber Rimfire REPEATING Rifle
Wonderful Marlin Lever Action Made in 1895
Here we present an antique J.M. Marlin Model 1892 Rifle chambered in .22 Caliber Rimfire, made in 1895 in New Haven, Connecticut. John Marlin produced his first lever action repeating rifle in 1881. Ten years later, Marlin introduced his first rimfire lever action rifle, the Model 1891, based on a design patented by John Marlin’s collaborator and employee, Lewis Hepburn. It had a solid top receiver and loaded through a gate on the right side, similar to the Marlin Model 1889. The Model 1891 was the gun that Annie Oakley used in her early shooting matches that made her so famous. Her Model 1891 was chambered for .22 rimfire, just like this one.
The second generation of the Model 1891 was this rifle, the Model 1892. It was produced until 1915, while in 1905 they changed the name of it to the “Model 92”. Basically, this rifle was just an improved version on the Model 1891.
The Model 92 could also be personalized in several ways. You could get it with factory engraving, nickel, silver, or gold plating, front and rear or tang mounted sights, or a receiver that was case-colored instead of blued. Barrel lengths available during this time period were 24″, 26″ and 28″, and could be round, octagon, or half octagon. The 28″ octagon barrel cost $3 more than the 24″ octagon barrel and $4 more than a 24″ round barrel, for a total retail price of a whopping $17.75! Now, 130 years later, this 1892 Marlin is an extremely collectible firearm.
The overall condition is good. Strong action. The bore is in good shape for its age. There is a slight wiggle in the buttstock where it meets the frame. Average dents and dings on the stock/forend. Legible markings.
