Looks like a Levermatic to me.

Yep it's a model 57.
Western Auto 115-2277 = Marlin 57

I' ve got on just like it. Very accurate and slick action. Somebody tell Papa John.

Wish I new somone near there :'(

+1 Too far for me, but someone from this forum should have it.

It's an hour's drive from me in Vandalia Illinois. I'd rather save up my shekels for a Model 39.

I sent a email this morning but have not heard back from them. I live a little over eight hours from their, but it's only one hour from the motherinlaw's house in Shelbyville IL.

For $70, you might wanna rethink it...

the Marlin Levermatics cycle faster than 39's...that short-throw lever is something else

I've got a Sears 46C (Marlin 56), and it's made me a believer!!
Wish Marlin would come back out with these...

Besides, it helps you explain to young folks the Evolution of Lever-action rifles

Still no reply to my email, and I even offered them a $100 for it if they would hold it for a little while. I figured I could get my brotherinlaw could pick it up next weekend.
