rarms Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 Good example of a Marlin 1893 lever action rifle in .32-40. Metal work has aged evenly to a nice patina, great for a gun over 100 years old. All stampings and engravings are crisp and clear as can be seen in the photos. It is a later model as it is stamped with 'Special Smokeless Steel' confirming back in the day that it could be used with smokeless ammunition, and not solely black powder as the earlier production guns were. The bore looks good for a 100 year old rifle, a bit of frosting, but the rifling looks visibly throughout. Cycles inert rounds fine, and I have no doubt if it were added to an FAC it could be shot. It is being sold as an Antique under Sec. 58. Looking for £1500 Collection from Chichester in West Sussex, or can perhaps meet within 50 miles or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P08 Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 I have one, what a rifle, can shoot the eye out of a needle, no 32.40 brass available, however 30.30 brass is, and functions lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
