Marlin 1893 .32-40 – CODY LETTER 32” OCTAGON FACTORY 99.5%

There are some nice Marlin Model 1893 rifles for sale on the internet, and then there is this one. When it comes to value, desirability, and collectability, several characteristics set one M1893 apart from all the rest. First is condition…there are a lot of antique Marlin M1893 rifles for sale, most are showing their age and some nicer than others. YOU WILL LIKELY NEVER ENCOUNTER A HIGHER CONDITION, FACTORY ORIGINAL M1893 THAN THE ONE WE SHOW HERE, SN103313 BUILT IN 1894, THAT RETAINS VIRTUALLY 99% OF THE VIVID CASE COLOR, BLUE, AND WOOD FINISH, SUPERB BORE THAT RATES 9.5 ON A SCALE OF 10, PERFECT SCREWS, NO CRACKS IN THE WOOD…JUST ABOUT “AS NEW” WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A FEW DINGS IN THE WOOD. In all the world there cannot be more than a handful that can match the untouched factory condition of this rifle. Next, special-order features and desirable characteristics play a strong role in establishing desirability and value. This rifle shipped from the factory with a 32” full octagon barrel, chambered in the supremely accurate .32-40 WCF cartridge, and full-length magazine tube (the longest one Marlin supplied was for a rifle with a 30” barrel and is what is shown on this rifle).
