This is an original Marlin lever action rifle with a 26 inch barrel in 30-30 Winchester. The rifle is in super condition especially for a gun over 100 years old. Very uncommon to find are the original front and rear sights. The Marlin Model 1893 rifle was produced from 1893 to 1936. Based on the patents of L.L. Hepburn, the Model 1893 incorporated a new locking bolt system and a two-piece firing pin. The Marlin with side ejection was considered "Safer" than the top ejecting Winchesters.
