Hello all,

First post on Marlin Forum - thought I would come talk to the experts. I was in my LGS and saw a 989 M2 for sale. It is in 95% shape finish wise with a clean bore. Rear sight is attached (I gather in my research they are hard to find). They are asking $399. From everything I can find (not much) that is $200 too high. What say ye? ???

Sounds about 2x the prices I have seen . See If they will take $5.00 for the rear site , I sure need one. ;D
I have seen plenty of the M1's and M2's for about a hundred without rear site and about $200.00 with the rear site . Been that way for several years where I do my looking. I would have to pass on that one for sure.

I was at the Waukesha gun show in Wisconsin and found a 989M2 for $145.00 in very good shape
Still had the factory test sticker on the fore arm.
I would have to say that is a little over priced.

That's kinda high, sounds to me. That kinda price, it would have to be museum quality. How bad do you want it?

$200 max.

$200 max.

Yep, and that should include original sights and logo leather sling that was standard on M1 & M2.

I just paid $120 for a 99M1 with the sling and a cheap Bushnell scope but missing the rear sight.

Nice find looks to be in decent shape i think you did well. need a range report when you get the chance. ;D

If the tornadoes would move away from my house for a little while I could step out and shoot. I keep getting hit with my neighbors barn.

That's a nice rifle Psycho.Is that sling stamped with Marlin logo and horse & rider? It's made a little different than the factory sling that came with my 989M2.I'm thinking maybe there were two versions.

 

[The Psychologist]

I've looked at the sling and cannot find any markings on it.Where would the logo be? I'm thinking it is an aftermarket sling.

Looks like this...

Leather from different parts of cow has different tones...so no two (even purchased at the same time) look entirely alike.

Buy 'em for $15 from Marlin

Look Darn Good on a 989-M2, also!!

Big Shrek, I must be a big dummy, I looked all over the Marlin site, where exactly are the slings listed? At $15.00 bux I want one too!
