SPECIAL ORDER MARLIN M-94 .32-20, PISTOL GRIP, 26" OCT TAKEDOWN THREADED FOR SILENCER!

Description:
UNUSUAL SPECIAL ORDER MARLIN M-94, .32-20, PISTOL GRIP, LONG 26" OCT., 1/2 MAG, TAKEDOWN AND THREADED FOR MAXIM SILENCER! #419XXX, MADE APPROX. 1910. This is a really interesting Marlin. It was special ordered with a blued receiver- most were standard with case colored receivers. Further, it has a plain pistol grip stock, takedown, half magazine and full 26" octagon barrel that is two inches longer than standard. The muzzle is threaded and capped for a silencer. The Maxim Silencer Co. began in 1908. A number of Winchester and Marlin rifles were sent directly to them for barrel threading and fitting. This one also has a correct sling swivel in the forend cap and a filled hole in the butt stock for the corresponding swivel that probably pulled free and had the hole filled. The "S" type butt plate has a matching serial number  to the receiver stamped inside. The receiver still retains good blue that is thinning and lightly mixing gray/brown with fine blue on the loading gate. Some very light case colors remain on the upper portion of the lever. The barrel and mag tube show good lightly aged blue with some thinning ahead of the receiver from handling. Stock and forend show normal handling with tight wood to metal fit. Tight action with strong safety half-cock. Buckhorn rear sight with later '27 patent date and very interesting front sight that consists of a blade/bead with a front folding up aperture that  encircles the bead to make it larger! Tight takedown and bright excellent bore! This is possibly a one-of-a-kind 110+ year old Marlin '94.
