Interesting find. You thinking about putting it back together?

 

Yes that's my intention. With eBay and numrich I should be able to get close, once I Kno what it is.

 

Bump.....maybe I need to post in another section, shotgun seems sparsely populated

 

Bump. Got a ton of model 19 parts. Might be trying to part with this as it's beyond my gunsmithing knowledge to cobble together

 

I don’t know how deep you are in it but if you are wanting to put something together to shoot I would get back on a 1897 Winchester.

I am not an expert or claim to know much of anything about the early Marlin shotguns. I cannot say for sure what you have there. Serial number information is not readily available. The Marlin serial number information from 1907 to 1940 was lost. These early shotguns were made during this period so serial numbers will not help. I believe that any ID would have to made by sight alone.

The info that I find indicates that they are not something that you would want to put together for a shooter. Parts are rare and are made of unobtanium. Even if you do get all of the parts, you may not have a gun that is safe to shoot.

 

N/S - Nickel Steel? A later in production, stronger receiver?

I am a cnc machinist so duplicating parts out of modern, trustworthy material is a definite possibility if needs be. I also just scored an antique 1898 Marlin and will be taking caliper micrometer etc to it soon, should reveal if I have an 1898, 17, 19, etc. Serial # is 34XXX. I think it's a very early model 1898. That being said will a model 19 barrel fit? I just so happened to find one. Updates soon (including measurements of the threads/Chambers/ etc? P.s. Black powder shells are easy to reload and fun to shoot, with fewer pressure/chamber/forcing cone issues

 

If anyone has any parts for Marlin 1898, 17, 19, 24 pump shotguns pls let me kno
