c1900 mfr. JM MARLIN FIREARMS Model 1893 Lever Action .38-55 WCF Rifle C&R
Marlin’s First Smokeless Powder Rifle
Here we present a C&R J.M. Marlin Model 1893 Rifle in .38-55 WCF, made circa the turn of the century 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.
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. In time, the Model 93 became the Model 36, and then the 336, which remains in the line today.
The overall condition is fair to good. The barrel has been cleaned and caliber remarked. The receiver has a gray patina. The magazine tube has been replaced. The action is strong. The bore is shiny bright with sharp rifling. The butt stock shows significant use and weathering as well as a repair at the wrist. The forearm is a replacement.
