Product Description

J.M. MARLIN Model 92 LEVER ACTION .22 RF REPEATING Rifle C&R 28 INCH BARREL

CLASSIC Repeater Chambered in .22 Caliber Rimfire

Here we present a C&R J.M. Marlin Model 92 Rifle chambered in .22 Caliber Rimfire, manufactured circa 1906 with a 24 year production run between 1892 and 1916 in New Haven, Connecticut. John Marlin produced his first lever action repeating rifle in 1881. Ten years later, Marlin introduced his first rimfire lever action rifle, the Model 1891, based on a design patented by John Marlin’s collaborator and employee, Lewis Hepburn. It had a solid top receiver and loaded through a gate on the right side, similar to the Marlin Model 1889. The Model 1891 was the gun that Annie Oakley used in her early shooting matches that made her so famous. Her Model 1891 was chambered for .22 rimfire.

The second generation of the Model 1891 was this rifle, the Model 1892. It was produced until 1916, while in 1905 they changed the name of it to the “Model 92”. Basically, this rifle was an improved version on the Model 1891.

The overall condition is good. Mixed original finish and patina. There is a replacement screw visible on the left side in the center of the receiver. The action is excellent. The bore has been sleeved and is in fine condition: shiny bright with sharp rifling. The walnut stock shows use and is solid throughout.  There are two thin, stable splits along the grain on the left side of the wrist that do not move.
