buddy, you just asked my question for me. A friend of mine who I hunt/shoot with knows of my Marlin sickness and called me the other night and said "A boy I know is out here with a Marlin single shot break action for $100" me"I had no idea such existed but I got cash in my wallet send him my way" Needless to say I procured said shotgun for $100. I thought it was just an H&R when he got it out of his car. But sure enough it says Marlin model 200. Mine's a 12 gauge with mod. choke. The reciever has some surface rust and a couple nicks in the forearm but otherwise is in very very nice tight shape. Has a real nice walnut stock on it as well.

 

The Marlin 200 was made by H&R.

They were, I believe, a special run for K-Mart. I had a Marlin 200 in .410 and sold it when the new 1894 .410 game back into exsistence.

 

Marlin's accuisition of H&R 1871 led to the limited edition of the 200 (H&R Topper). Nothing fancy but a good solid shooter like most H&R's were. Nice to know it still has lots of parts running around but yet it's somewhat different.

 

they were a run for Kmart ck the ser # it starts with a K i'll bet . my 410 does--Chaser11
