?? Historical Overview:
The Marlin Model 55 series was introduced in the 1950s and remained in production until the late 1990s, with several variants offered over the years, including the \"Goose Gun\" (long-barreled 12-gauge version), as well as 20 gauge, 16 gauge, and .410 models.

What made the Model 55 unique was its bolt-action operation, which was uncommon in shotguns, and its exceptional long-range accuracy due to the fixed full choke and extended barrel length. The Goose Gun variant, with its 36-inch barrel, was specifically designed for long-range waterfowl hunting in open areas, like marshes and coastal flats.

Marlin’s reputation for producing solid, reliable, and affordable firearms made the Model 55 a favorite among sportsmen in North America. Today, these shotguns are becoming harder to find in good condition, and they’re sought after by both hunters and collectors who appreciate its classic build and unique action.

Whether you’re looking for a vintage goose gun to take afield or a classic American bolt-action for your collection, the Marlin Model 55 is a standout piece with proven performance.
