New Gun.

[Buffalo Phil]

I use the term 'NEW' extremely loosely. I can safely assume that this gun was Manufactured between 1906 and 1915. It seems that Marlin decided to simply discard their records of firearm manufacture dates of the M1893 after the year of 1906 (when the serial ranged ended at 355XXX, my serial number range is 396XXX). So, I'll just have to assume it was made in the mid nineteen-teens or earlier.

I've only been waiting for this thing to arrive at my door since before I made the trip to California to watch KOH and it finally arrived. It really isn't much to look at unless you are a Marlin fanatic like me, but it is an excellent firearm and it still locks up just like a new Marlin. The sights fucking suck on it. The guy I purchased it from thought it would be cool to put them on while I find his choice in sights poor and distasteful to say the least. I will be changing them to a more classic system, single post front and barrel mounted rear.

I do plan on restoring this completely, I figure, if this Damn thing lasted this long, I can make it last another 100 years.

thats sick phil, nice to see a classic get restored. i bet that gun shot a bandit or 2

[grundlepunch]

what cartridge does it shoot?

[Buffalo Phil]

what cartridge does it shoot?

25-36 Marlin.

It's been obsolete since the 1940s I think.

A box of ammo for this Baby is $60 for 20 rounds.

all i know is that it looks badass.

so +10

[Buffalo Phil]

Dude I know.

I might leave it 25-36 Marlin for lulz, or I can easily just have the barrel rebored to 30-30 and actually shoot it more then twice a year.

sweet gun though man. it looks like it has the same style breach bolt as my 357c

i def. gained respect for my little marlin, i see why you like them so much

Yes, the Bolt is essentially the same as the Design of the Marlin has changed so little over the past 120 years. The Model 1893 spawned the M1894 and the Model 93 (which became the 1936 and 336 with a round bolt) but the M1894 still holds the square bolt tradition that the M1893 had to this day, except in pistol calibers.
