Description:
Marlin, "Safety" .38-W or .38-40WFC manufactured in 1893. It is in amazing condition for its age! One of the more desirable and difficult of the early Marlin rifles to locate. Marlin didn’t want to mention the Winchester name on it’s products!), correct "MARLIN SAFETY" marking on the receiver top. Gun appears to have been unmolested. One box of new .38-40 ammunition included with rifle.
Dubbed as the New Safety Repeating Rifle, the 1889 Marlin was a mid-sized, redesigned 1888 model. The most noticeable difference was the solid top with its side-ejection system. Internal upgrades included a locking lug and firing pin system that prevented discharge until the bolt was locked in place. The new model also utilized a cartridge carrier that raised automatically, closing the end of the magazine after the head of the cartridge had passed into the carrier, thus preventing the next cartridge from entering the carrier and jamming the action?an important feature, since the rifle was produced in the .32-20, .38-40 and .44-40 chamberings.
