Marlin Model 1892 in .32 Colt. Rimfire. Mfg ca 1914. Very good condition
Description: Model 1892 Marlin Lever Action Sporting Rifle Mfg ca 1914. Rimfire. Standard 24" round barrel, full magazine, and crescent buttplate. The Model 1892 was designed by Lewis Hepburn with some improvements over his Model 1891. The action is simple and can be field-stripped in seconds. Righ reciever cover simply removed with one screw. Standard sights include the Marlin rear sight with correct Marlin elevator and Marlin Rocky Mountain front sight w/ German silver blade. The Model 1892 came in .22 and .32 calibers. This one is in .32 caliber which can accept firing pins in both .32 rf and cf calibers allowing the Model 1892 to chamber at least FIVE different cartridges. This included the .32 rf short, .32 rf long, .32 Colt Short, .32 Colt Long, and the .32 Long Rifle. The firing pins can be changed in just seconds without the aid of tools. Most 1892's we find today have rimfire firing pins. Upper tang is marked MODEL 1892. Barrel has Marlin Firearms Co. New Haven address with 1878, 1889, 1890, and 1892 patent dates. The 1892 in .32 caliber was essentially a repeater chambered for a small pistol caliber. This left the 1892 in a unique market as the only lever action that filled the gap between the Winchester .22 caliber pump and lever action rifles and larger framed rifles like the Winchester 1873 and 1892 in caliber .32-20. It provided more punch than the .22 but less than the much larger 32-20 and was good up to around 100 yards for squirrels and small game. Overall Condition grades to Very Good Condition with 85% original blue on the barrel and magazine tube. Frame shows 75% bright original blue remaining. Bolt shows 95% bright original blues.
