c1894 mfr. Antique MARLIN M1893 Lever Action Rifle .32-40 COWBOY WILD WEST

OCTAGONAL BARREL, CRESCENT BUTT PLATE

Here we present an antique J.M. Marlin Model 1893 Rifle in .32-40, made circa 1894 in New Haven, Connecticut. Marlin Firearms was founded in the 1870s by John Marlin and was one of Winchester’s biggest competitors for the lever action market in the late-19^th Century and into the 20^th Century. The Model 1893 represents Marlin’s first smokeless powder lever action rifle. It features a solid top frame with side ejection and a smooth action.

In 1905, the Model 1893 nomenclature changed to “Model 93”. Saddle rings were optional, and barrels were stamped “Special Smokeless Steel.” Some shooters still preferred black powder loads, though, and that same year Marlin came out with a limited run of Model 93s chambered for .32-40 and .38-55. In time, the Model 93 became the Model 36, and then the 336, which remains in the line today.

The overall condition is very good. Original finish and patina. The action is excellent. The bore is reflective with strong rifling. The stock shows some use but remains solid and smooth overall. A very nice Marlin 1893 in the classic octagonal barrel, crescent buttplate configuration!
