** PHOTOS ADDED A FEW POSTS DOWN **
Hi-
The following is available in my area and I was wondering what a fair price would be assuming good condition:
Marlin 1893chambered in .30-30 with a 26" octagon barrel, cresent steel buttplate and full length magazine, made in 1898. It has a period correct Lyman tang sightthat has been tapped to accept apertures for modern Lyman and Marbles tang sights 3 of which are included. The front and rear sightsare also modern replacements.
(I know its hard without photos - working on that - but hoping for ballparks so I know how interested to be...or not be)
And is it possible to shoot modern 30-30 ammo in it? Or would softer loaded reloads be necessary?
Anything in particular to look for when evaluating quality, safety, uniqueness and value?
Thanks in advance!
