So what do you guys think? Seller says he shot it and it shoots fine.

 

[Gallo Pazzesco]

Yes

Ok, I am going to assume that rifle is at home and in your rack. Please don't make us ask why, you buy it because it is a Marlin and will shoot just fine. :biggrin:

 

[FrankenMauser]

What's the backstory?


If it's fire-damaged, I wouldn't pay more than $75 - maybe $100 - unless the stocks looked original (indicating that the fire didn't get hot enough, for long enough, to damage the receiver). In that case, it'd be well worth $150.

However, that receiver really looks like it was blood-damaged, to me. If so, there could also be some serious pitting and corrosion inside the action. So, it could turn into a parts rifle, if the internals are eaten up.

The seller is in the business of reclaiming old barn wood,says he found it in a barn.He cleaned it up and in doing so all the finish was removed,but says he shot the gun multiple times with no problem.

 

[XMAN]

Heck ya! Looks like a great project gun

 

[Cajun]

[1LoneWolf75]

NO! PM me his phone number so I can call and give him a piece of my mind. :flute:

 

[Dakota6]

Buy it, fix it and shoot it.

 

[F1tzhugh]

YES... Buy it...

 

[mattusmc]

Definitely worth $150 if it is a shooter and no known mechanical issues

 

[dcsprings]

Yes.

 

[rooterpig]

How does the bore look?

 

[Condition 1]

Well on the bright side you don't have to worry about scratches. :flute:

 

[jackdaniels]

Examine the bore and inside the action thoroughly and if it looks good then take a chance and buy it.After all what is $150 these days?

 

[zuikowarrior]

Body grinder cleanup?

 

[Leverforever]

I would examine the bolt real closely (remove it). When I expand the pic (three clicks), I see what looks like a jagged crack in the bolt, but it may be crud or something. I would surely tear it down and look at everything before I fired it.
