MARLIN M93 Lever Action .30-30 WIN Repeating Carbine Early-20th Century C&R
Marlin’s First Smokeless Powder Rifle!
Here we present a C&R J.M. Marlin Model 93 Lever Action Carbine in .30-30 WIN, made sometime between 1905 and 1920 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-19th and into the 20th Century. Marlin produced a large assortment of firearms such as lever-action rifles, pump-action shotguns and single shot rifles. 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 and stamped “For Black Powder Only.” In time, the Model 93 became the Model 36, and then the 336, which remains in the line today, although, due to recent ownership changes, the lever-actions are made now in Ilion, N.Y., not New Haven, Connecticut.
The overall condition is good. Original finish and patina. The barrel band screw has been replaced. The action is strong. The bore is in good condition with strong rifling. The walnut stock shows use and has been modestly refinished. There is a short, stable split on the right side of the forearm ahead of the barrel band.
