MARLIN Model 93 Lever Action .30-30 C&R HUNTING/SPORTING Repeating Carbine
Marlin’s First Smokeless Powder Rifle!
Description: MARLIN Model 93 Lever Action .30-30 C&R HUNTING/SPORTING Repeating Carbine Marlin’s First Smokeless Powder Rifle! Here we present a C&R J.M. Marlin Model 93 Carbine in .30-30, made sometime between 1905 and 1920 in New Haven, Connecticut. Marlin Firearms was founded in the 1870s by John Marlin and was one of Winchester’s biggest competitors for the lever action market in the late-19th and into the 20th Century. Marlin produced a large assortment of firearms such as lever-action rifles, pump-action shotguns and single shot rifles. The Model 1893 represents Marlin’s first smokeless powder lever action rifle. It features a solid top frame with side ejection and a smooth action. In 1905, the Model 1893 nomenclature changed to “Model 93”. Saddle rings were optional, and barrels were stamped “Special Smokeless Steel.” Some shooters still preferred black powder loads, though, and that same year Marlin came out with a limited run of Model 93s chambered for .32-40 and .38-55 and stamped “For Black Powder Only.” In time, the Model 93 became the Model 36, and then the 336, which remains in the line today, although, due to recent ownership changes, the lever-actions are made now in Ilion, N.Y., not New Haven, Connecticut. As with many early Marlins, serial number records for the Model 1893 are incomplete. The inletted “Bull’s Eye” in the stock began in 1921. This rifle was one of the most popular Marlin lever-action models ever made with over one million model 1893s manufactured. This one is in nice shape and remains a classic! The overall condition is fine. Original blue finish and case colors. The action is excellent. The bore is shiny bright with sharp rifling. A tang mounted peep sight may have been part of this gun in the past but both apertures are now empty. The walnut stock is smooth and solid throughout. Own the original!
