Marlin Model 1893

Description

NOTE: this is an example of a previous customer restoration, and therefore the firearm is not for sale.

Featured in our restoration gallery today is a Marlin Model 1893 lever action repeater, originally shipped in 1894. Marlin’s 1893 was the precursor to their Model 36 and 336, and is identifiable by its square flush bolt. Based on the patents of L.L. Hepburn, the ’93 also incorporated a two-piece firing pin. The ‘93 differed from its Winchester contemporaries in that the Marlin was side-ejecting, which provided better protection from weather and debris than the competing top-ejecting Winchester.
