ANTIQUE MARLIN MODEL 1895 OCTAGON RIFLE IN .38-56 CALIBER, #170XXX, MADE 1898

Description:
ANTIQUE MARLIN MODEL 1895 OCTAGON RIFLE IN .38-56 CALIBER, #170XXX, MADE 1898. All of these 1895s seem to have just about disappeared from the market place and I rarely see them now. This is a good, solid example in a caliber that is often misunderstood and under-rated. The .38-56 is a big cartridge that is simply the .45-70 case necked down to .38 caliber. It was made to hold a full 56 grains of black powder UNLIKE the .38-55 which is basically a "straight," un-necked .30 WCF (.30-30) case of .38 caliber that only holds about 42-45 grains of black powder. The .38-56 is considerably more potent than the much smaller .38-55, even though they share similar names. This example with standard 26" octagon barrel shows fine lightly aged blue on the barrel with good blue on the top most portion of the mag tube with the balance naturally ageing to gray/brown. The receiver is mostly a mottled gray with some traces of case color in the most protected areas. The loading gate shows good blue and the action is tight with strong springs and a strong safety notch on the hammer half-cock. Probably had a tang sight on at one time as the factory drilled and tapped tang sight holes lack filler screws. Generally fine stock and forearm show normal hunting use, but no abuse and still has good wood to metal fit. The bore is a little dark with strong rifling all the way through and would benefit from a good brushing and cleaning- any roughness should be scattered and fairly minor. Fitted with the original buckhorn rear sight and small blade/bead front sight.
