 FINE CONDITION MARLINMODEL 27S PUMP ACTION OCTAGON RIFLE IN DESIRABLE .32-20 CALIBER

Description:
 FINE CONDITION MODEL 27S PUMP ACTION OCTAGON RIFLE IN DESIRABLE .32-20 CALIBER. This model was introduced in 1909 and after being discontinued during World War I were reintroduced and manufactured until about 1932 when it fell victim to the Great Depression. This is one of the last made as it has the later MARLIN FIREARMS CORP. marking on the  barrel and actually has a serial number #5XX (most of this model were made without serial numbers). This example also has the later stock with the Marlin "Bullseye" inlay in the bottom. The receiver retains most of the original blue with just light age and some wear on the bottom  of the trigger guard and forward. The barrel shows good blue with light age and edge wear only with the mag tube retaining fine deep blue overall. The stock is fine and only shows modest handling and has a barely visiible repair to the top where there is an almost invisible age crack coming forward from the top butt plate screw- you have to look closely to notice it. Fine wood to metal fit. The forend also has a small age crack coming forward on the right side and goes nowhere- again minor. The barrel is fitted with a Marble buckhorn rear sight with elevator bar intact and a small blade bead front sight. Tight takedown, strong safety half-cock on the hammer, bore slightly dark but fine+ with strong rifling throughout. Most of these seem to be in .25-20 caliber. Unusuaol late variation with an attractive appearance.
