    I have a good Marlin 1893 which was made in 1902 but still in "great condition" - wood & steel are all good and the gun cycles fine with no hiccups. It's chambered for 30-30 caliber and has a 20" octagonal barrel. I looked up the Marlin Day of Manufacture site and it was archived as a "custom...

    I tried this before last winter, but didn't get too far. Everybody wanted pics and we were rained out of the Piutes where my shop and the rifle are. So here we go again. I bought an early '93, SN 117598 a few years back in pretty rough shape. It had a bad headspace issue plus the stock had...

    Hello to all--I am new to the site looking for a little guidance I have a few rifles that I bought before I retired when I had money, now I have time to work on them. One is '93 with an engraved receiver (no case color left), full octagon barrel, and much better wood than the general issue...

    Hi from Ontario, Canada I have been on the site before, doing my own bit of research on an 1893 that I purchased, but this will be my first post. The original stock was not present, and the one that was made for it was done VERY poorly. Now I am looking for an original straight stock(not...

    Thanks for adding me to group. My sweet shooting 39A led me to get another Marlin. This one caught my eye so I won it off a auction this one was done less than one month before John Marlin died in 1901, it's all blued the action feels brand new. The guys at the local gun shop said if it has...

    I bought this beautiful Marlin 93 a few weeks ago, and I'd like to restore it with an original buttplate. Any advice on what would be the proper buttplate for this rifle? It's a 30-30, and the serial number is below 300. The rifle had an ugly aftermarket rubber recoil pad when I bought it. I...

    I'm hoping that someone will be able to help with some questions I have. I was given a model 1893 in 38-55 and am trying to determine its age. The serial number starts with an A followed by four digits and i can't seem to find any records of serial #s starting with an A. The barrel is marked...

    I just bought an 1893 marlin chambered for 32 special. It has a round 20 inch barrel and may not have an original buttstock since it has the "Marlin bullseye" inset in the heel. The buttstock also has a black plastic butt plate rather than a curved metal one. I picked it up after the gunshop...

    I have an early Marlin Model 1893 Lever Action Rifle – .25-36 caliber – 25 1/2" Octagon Barrel - SN 131232 manufactured in 1898. Great bore and action. Metal is very good overall with sharp lettering and markings - barrel retains most blue - magazine tube has most blue with slight thinning...
  12. 32-40 38-55/375 & Other Non Standard Caliber
    I have two guns that belonged to the widow of a late friend, both look to be 1893 style rifles. Both have octagonal barrels around 26-inches in length. Both have all the marks of older barrels, according to what I've read in LCol. Brophy's book Marlin Firearms: A History of the Guns and the...

    Hello Gents, Thanks to all who assisted in my first Marlin purchase! Picked up my 1893 on Monday, tested it at range and everything is excellent. Now I am wondering about disassembly, cleaning the wood and re-blueing, etc. Basically, should I try to fix something that isn't broken? Should I...

    Hello All; I am looking at a Model 1893, .38-55 to purchase. The serial number is 437,534. The rifle shoots straight and appears in good working order. Can anyone offer any thoughts on production date and more importantly, a reasonable valuation? Many many thanks, Michael

    I'm looking for a recommended gunsmith to service my 1970 model 39 and to look at my old model 1893/1892 rifles. Somewhere between Orange County, San Bernardino, and Pasadena would be easiest for me to get to.

    Just a friendly shout out. Started deer hunting 38 years ago and my first deer rifle was a 336. Went through all bigger, better, fancier stage and finally came back to a Marlin. Picked up a refinished 1893 30-30 (1906) a few weeks ago and took a nice doe with it yesterday. Nothing like doing...
