Iconic Lever Action “DEER HUNTING” Repeating Rifle

Here Ancestry Guns presents a C&R J.M. Marlin Model 94 Rifle in .38-40 Winchester Center Fire, made circa 1906 based on estimates according to serial numbers, in New Haven, Connecticut. Serial number information to determine year of manufacture on Marlin rifles are difficult between the years of 1906 until after World War II. Marlin was one of Winchester’s biggest competitors for the lever action market in the late-19th and into the 20th Century. Somewhere around 1906, the Model 1894 nomenclature changed to “Model 94”. As with many early Marlins, serial number records for the Model 1894 are incomplete. The inletted “Bull’s Eye” in the stock began in 1921. The barrels of the pre-1924 Model 94s is stamped “Marlin Firearms Company.” Post-1924 barrels were stamped “Marlin Firearms Corporation.”

The Model 1894 and its successors found particular favor in Canada, Alaska, and the Pacific Northwest, where precipitation combined with cold temperatures sometimes caused top-eject designs to freeze solid. During the Klondike Gold Rush, the solid-top Marlin design was preferred by many prospectors facing subzero temperatures and dangerous animals, since the solid top frame was better at keeping freezing rain, snow and dirt out of the operating parts of the action.

The overall condition is very good. Some original finish and case colors remain sharing space with a mixed gray and brow patina. Excellent, crisp action. The bore is mostly bright with a bit of a frosted appearance and serviceable rifling. Fine buttstock and forend. Markings are legible.
