Marlin Model 94 (Discount Musket)
Description: When Marlin entered bankruptcy in the early 1920’s they discovered that there were some leftover parts--including some 1894 Musket receivers. They ordered to have the sling swivel boss ground off and to chamber them in the musket calibers (38-40 or 44-40) and to be sold at a discount. These were also given a unique 3 or 4 digit serial number that was stamped on the receiver, under the forend (as opposed to under the bottom tang)--they also put the matching serial number on the left-hand side of the upper tang, and also on the underside of the butt plate (see pictures). There is very little information about these guns out there and have only been able to get it via people in the Marlin Firearm Collectors Association, which I’ve had a couple different guys give me the same story on them when I showed them the rifle. \n \nThe same people pointed out that had only seen these examples sent out with 20� carbine barrels as opposed to the full 24� rifle barrel--however I was also told that it doesn’t mean it wasn’t done at the factory as these were, after all, “parts guns�\nThere were only 152 muskets built--of which 80 went to Bureau County in Illinois. It is hard to say how many of these guns were built, but its believed to possibly be less than the actual Musket count.\n SOLD Curio/Relic: Yes Manufacturer: Marlin Model: Model 94 (Discount Musket) Serial Number: 565 Caliber Info: 38-40 Barrels: 24 inches Action: RL LOP: 13 inches Weight: 6 lbs. 15 oz. |
