CUSTOMIZED MARLIN M-62 .256 WIN. MAG. “LEVERMATIC” RIFLE, #10XXX, MADE 1963-1965

Description:
CUSTOMIZED MARLIN M-62 .256 WIN. MAG. “LEVERMATIC” RIFLE, #10XXX, MADE 1963-1965. These short-throw lever rifles were introduced for the .256 Win. Mag. Cartridge in 1963 and discontinued in 1965. In 1966 the .30 Carbine round was added until the model was discontinued in 1969. This info comes from Brophy’s Marlin book. He also states that a total of only 5,960 were made in .256 Win. Interestingly, this example was customized in the Weather-style of the 1960s. It is nicely and fairly profusely (but tastefully) checkered at the forend and pistol grip. The forend has the signature Weatherby slanted white line spacer and rosewood tip added. The bottom of the pistol grip has a matching Weatherby-inspired spacer and rosewood grip cap. Overall, excellent condition with about all the blue remaining, hooded front sight with hood intact, barely any handling marks in the wood with original Marlin marked butt plate. Tight action and perfect bore. A most attractive rifle from the iconic 1960s!
