Description:
J.M. MARLIN Model 1893 Lever Action .38-55 WCF C&R Rifle Octagonal Barrel
Marlin’s First Smokeless Powder Rifle
Here we present a C&R J.M. Marlin Model 1893 Rifle in .38-55 WCF, made circa 1918 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 and stamped “For Black Powder Only.”
The overall condition is good. This gun shows weathered steel surfaces and has been refinished. It has also been restocked and the walnut is quite solid. The action is excellent. The bore is dim with decent rifling. The last couple of inches at the muzzle have been scoured so that the rifling is thin there. Light pitting evident here.
This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic.
Barrel is 26 inches.
