MARLIN DELUXE Model 1893 Lever Action .32-40 WCF TAKEDOWN Rifle Hunting C&R
Marlin’s First Smokeless Powder Rifle!
Here we present a J.M. Marlin Model 1893 Rifle in .32-40 WCF, made circa 1904 in New Haven, Connecticut. Marlin Firearms was founded in the 1870s by John Marlin and was one of Winchester’s biggest competitors for the lever action market in the late-19th and into the 20th Century. Marlin produced a large assortment of firearms such as lever-action rifles, pump-action shotguns and single shot rifles. The Model 1893 represents Marlin’s first smokeless powder lever action rifle. It features a solid top frame with side ejection and a smooth action. The barrel is a medium weight part octagon of 26 inches. This rifle was one of the most popular Marlin lever-action models ever made with over one million model 1893s manufactured. This one is in great shape and remains a classic!
In 1905, the Model 1893 nomenclature changed to “Model 93”. Saddle rings were optional, and barrels were stamped “Special Smokeless Steel.” Some shooters still preferred black powder loads, though, and that same year Marlin came out with a limited run of Model 93s chambered for .32-40 and .38-55 and stamped “For Black Powder Only.” In time, the Model 93 became the Model 36, and then the 336, which remains in the line today, although, due to recent ownership changes, the lever-actions are made now in Ilion, N.Y., not Connecticut.
As with many early Marlins, serial number records for the Model 1893 are incomplete. The inletted “Bull’s Eye” in the stock began in 1921. The barrels of the pre-1924 Model 93s is stamped “Marlin Firearms Company.” Post-1924 barrels were stamped “Marlin Firearms Corporation.”
The overall condition is near fine. Original finish/patina. The action is excellent and the bore is bright with sharp rifling. The walnut stock has some well-used checkering. Smooth and solid stock. The leather sling has separated near the butt stock. The front sling swivel was brazed on at some point and cants to the side where the sling attached at the rear. This is a really nice customized Marlin takedown rifle!
