Description:
ANTIQUE MARLIN 1893 FULL DELUXE TAKEDOWN RIFLE IN .30-30, #173XXX, MADE 1898. Well, that's the interesting part, but the rest isn't so great. This one has had a hard life The checkered fancy pistol grip walnut stock has been broken at the wrist and "frontier repaired" with some dowels and pins. Pistol grip checkering is heavily worn and the shotgun butt plate is a very worn hard rubber replacement. There is a sling swivel hole in the bottom of the stock. The forearm is solid with worn checkering and the forend cap has a sling swivel hole in the bottom. The walnut is an uncleaned very fancy burl that has never been cleaned. The barrel is 1/2 octagon with half magazine with the barrel cut to 21 inches. It is fitted with a buckhorn rear sight and blade front sight. I called this one in to the Cody Museum and the call-in sheet simply states: "Rifle, Caliber .30, 1/2 octagon, barrel length 26", pistol grip stock, takedown, shipped Oct. 19, 1898." The magazine does not appear cut. There are a couple of holes in the left side of the receiver from where there must have been a receiver sight or sidemount of some kind along with a wide notch cut in the rear of the receiver top that must have gone along with whatever sight was mounted at one time. Overall metal is an uncleaned gray/brown with some aged blue. Action works fine and the safety half-cock holds solidly. The bore is a bit dark, but quite decent! The ultimate "project gun" or just cool as it is! This one came out of here in Montana. I'm sure there are a load of adventures associated with this one!
