Marlin Model 1898 Pump Shotgun 12-gauge 30” Full Choke
Description:
The Marlin Model 1898 was one of the earliest pump-action shotguns, being developed in the late 19th Century, much like the more famous Winchester Model of 1897. It was produced from 1898 to 1905, when it was discontinued in favor of the Model 19. The 19 was produced between 1906 and 1907 before being overtaken by the Model 21 (a straight gripped 19) and its successor, the Model 24. Like the Winchester ’97, the Model 1898 used an exposed hammer. However, whereas the bolt of the Winchester ‘97 sat inside the receiver, the Marlin’s bolt was mounted mostly on the right side of the receiver. Other than this, the Model 1898 operated much like any other early late 19th/early 20th Century pump shotgun. In 1998, one hundred years after their first pump shotgun, Marlin sent out a bulletin recommending that exposed-hammer shotguns like the Model 1898 and others should not be fired due to their age as system failures could possibly occur. Today, the Model 1898 is something of a collector’s piece. While not as famous as the ’97 or its successor the Model 1912, the Marlin line of shotguns were popular enough to be produced until 1935. One part of the 1898 that bears explanation is the small little push button below and to the right of the bolt. This part is generally referred to as a bolt release which is not quite true. The push button is actually an inertial lock for the breech bolt locking bar. Paper shotgun shells were not as reliable at the turn of the 20th century, and there was justifiable concern with the potentiality of hang-fires, wherein a shell could be struck without going off after which the user would eject the shell only for it to detonate after being ejected. As a result, many manufacturers implemented recoil locks which prevent the action from being manually cycled unless the gun has fired. The push button release on the side of the receiver is one of these mechanisms. There are 4 checks to go over a Model 1898 to determine if it is mechanically functional. The procedures are too long to list here but they can be found on the marlinowners forums. Suffice it to say, all 4 checks have been performed. The only catch is that when using snap caps, the bolt will not unlock after a round has been “fired”. This is mostly likely due to the recoil lock. Since the gun does not recoil when testing with snap caps, the recoil lock is still in play and the action won’t open without pushing the button. Another aspect of the function of the shotgun is that manually cycling the action must be done with proper speed and force. If performed slowly, the lifter will provide resistance to the bolt’s movement. The 1898 appears to have been re-blued at some point during its long life. The refinish was done by a professional as the markings on top of the barrel show hardly any wiping effect. The easy way to tell if a gun from this era has been re-blued is to look at the hue of the bluing. Guns prior to and at the turn of the century were blued via the rust blue process. This left the gun with a bright or glossy blue hue. Most refinishing is done using a hot salt bath blue which visibly is darker and is more blue-black in color. The shotgun has still seen its fair share of use given its age. There is some light pitting or rust in spots on the barrel and receiver. The right-hand side of the frame and bolt bear two thin scratches. The bottom of the receiver exhibits some loss of finish. Understandably, the magazine tube and lower right edge of the barrel have the most finish loss simply due to the operation of the pump. The bottom of the barrel is stamped with a 5-digit serial number followed by the letter “F”. This serial number is different from the serial number on the bottom of the receiver. This is common to Marlin pump shotguns as I have seen this before on another 1898 as well as a Model 19. During production, the barrels and receivers were not necessarily made at the same time, so the numbers will not always match. The “F” stamp most likely indicates the 1898 has a full choke. A crack in the forearm has been repaired. Both the stock and forearm have been refinished. There is a small amount of pitting present in the bore, but not enough to affect the shotgun’s performance. Indeed, the previous owner informed me that they used this shotgun for trap shooting until recently. Otherwise, the shotgun is in decent shape for a firearm that is likely to be over 120 years old! Most guns from this era are either thoroughly pitted and nun-functional, or they are in absolutely pristine shape. This example is in between those two extremes. Unfortunately, it is difficult to date a Model 1898 shotgun as the usual place to check the serial number of a Marlin firearm, oldguns, will usually respond to the given serial number of an 1898 with an incorrect date. Using the serial number on the receiver in the submission box gives the year 1890, which is obviously not the correct year.

If performed slowly, the lifter will provide resistance to the bolt’s movement. The 1898 appears to have been re-blued at some point during its long life. The refinish was done by a professional as the markings on top of the barrel show hardly any wiping effect. The easy way to tell if a gun from this era has been re-blued is to look at the hue of the bluing. Guns prior to and at the turn of the century were blued via the rust blue process. This left the gun with a bright or glossy blue hue. Most refinishing is done using a hot salt bath blue which visibly is darker and is more blue-black in color. The shotgun has still seen its fair share of use given its age. There is some light pitting or rust in spots on the barrel and receiver. The right-hand side of the frame and bolt bear two thin scratches. The bottom of the receiver exhibits some loss of finish. Understandably, the magazine tube and lower right edge of the barrel have the most finish loss simply due to the operation of the pump. The bottom of the barrel is stamped with a 5-digit serial number followed by the letter “F”. This serial number is different from the serial number on the bottom of the receiver. This is common to Marlin pump shotguns as I have seen this before on another 1898 as well as a Model 19. During production, the barrels and receivers were not necessarily made at the same time, so the numbers will not always match. The “F” stamp most likely indicates the 1898 has a full choke. A crack in the forearm has been repaired. Both the stock and forearm have been refinished. There is a small amount of pitting present in the bore, but not enough to affect the shotgun’s performance. Indeed, the previous owner informed me that they used this shotgun for trap shooting until recently. Otherwise, the shotgun is in decent shape for a firearm that is likely to be over 120 years old! Most guns from this era are either thoroughly pitted and nun-functional, or they are in absolutely pristine shape. This example is in between those two extremes. Unfortunately, it is difficult to date a Model 1898 shotgun as the usual place to check the serial number of a Marlin firearm, oldguns, will usually respond to the given serial number of an 1898 with an incorrect date. Using the serial number on the receiver in the submission box gives the year 1890, which is obviously not the correct year.

Marlin Model 1898 Pump Shotgun 12-gauge 30” Full Choke
Description:
The Marlin Model 1898 was one of the earliest pump-action shotguns, being developed in the late 19th Century, much like the more famous Winchester Model of 1897. It was produced from 1898 to 1905, when it was discontinued in favor of the Model 19. The 19 was produced between 1906 and 1907 before being overtaken by the Model 21 (a straight gripped 19) and its successor, the Model 24. Like the Winchester ’97, the Model 1898 used an exposed hammer. However, whereas the bolt of the Winchester ‘97 sat inside the receiver, the Marlin’s bolt was mounted mostly on the right side of the receiver. Other than this, the Model 1898 operated much like any other early late 19th/early 20th Century pump shotgun. In 1998, one hundred years after their first pump shotgun, Marlin sent out a bulletin recommending that exposed-hammer shotguns like the Model 1898 and others should not be fired due to their age as system failures could possibly occur. Today, the Model 1898 is something of a collector’s piece. While not as famous as the ’97 or its successor the Model 1912, the Marlin line of shotguns were popular enough to be produced until 1935. One part of the 1898 that bears explanation is the small little push button below and to the right of the bolt. This part is generally referred to as a bolt release which is not quite true. The push button is actually an inertial lock for the breech bolt locking bar. Paper shotgun shells were not as reliable at the turn of the 20th century, and there was justifiable concern with the potentiality of hang-fires, wherein a shell could be struck without going off after which the user would eject the shell only for it to detonate after being ejected. As a result, many manufacturers implemented recoil locks which prevent the action from being manually cycled unless the gun has fired. The push button release on the side of the receiver is one of these mechanisms. There are 4 checks to go over a Model 1898 to determine if it is mechanically functional. The procedures are too long to list here but they can be found on the marlinowners forums. Suffice it to say, all 4 checks have been performed. The only catch is that when using snap caps, the bolt will not unlock after a round has been “fired”. This is mostly likely due to the recoil lock. Since the gun does not recoil when testing with snap caps, the recoil lock is still in play and the action won’t open without pushing the button.
