Description:
UNUSUAL, SPECIAL ORDERMARLIN MODEL 1893 .30-30 SHORT RIFLE. One of the more interesting and strange 1893s I've had in a while. It is a late Model 1893 (Marked 1893 on the upper tang and NOT '93) that has the letter prefix serial number (C9XXX). Normally, this era rifle would have the carbine shaped steel "S" butt plate, but this one has the earlier style crescent rifle butt plate that is numbered on the inside and matches the receiver. So, this was special ordered. It also has a 24" round barrel with half magazine. Again, special ordered as standard length was 26" with a full magazine, and the muzzle has the correct factory crown. It is also fitted with a Lyman 21 long receiver sight and blade/bead front sight. There is a blank filler in the rear sight dovetail. Wood is generally excellent showing only light handling. The barrel retains most of the original blue and shows excellent markings. Good blue on the mag. tube with some thinning on the bottom portion. The receiver shows vivid case color around and under the Lyman receiver sight on the left side with the balance on that side still good with light fading only. Fine case color on the MARLIN SAFETY marked receiver top. The right side shows good fading/cloudy colors. Fine blue on the loading gate. Tight action, strong safety half-cock and exc. bore. An unusual 1893 probably made around 1910 or before, in particularly fine conditiion.
