I found this fine rifle at a local gun show. 1894 25-20 1895 YOM in decent shape. SERIAL #1185XX. Only 4 extra holes and the good news is they are not over the MARLIN SAFETY. 23-1/2" barrel and no half cock, most I have seen list the barrels as 24"? Blueing mostly turned to brown and some surface rust but not too bad. The bore is good with no visible pits just looks to be in need of a good scrubbing. Time to get dies, cases, powder and bullets and have some fun! While I wait I am going to give the barrel and action a good cleaning judging from the condition of the screws she probably was stripped down very few times. I had 1 round from my Dad's 25-20 so I did a quick test after I was done taking pics, I think I am going to like this rifle.
Now for the good stuff :biggrin:
