I made a trade at a local gun show this weekend and brought home this Marlin 56 and Marlin 25M. The seller was asking $395 for the LeverMatic and $295 for the 22mag, both in very good condition.
I wasn't able to spend that much, so I asked if he would consider a trade. To my surprise, he needed some inexpensive guns that he could turn over quickly.
I wound up trading a couple of Glenfield model 60s (that I had $190 in) and 2 Sears .22lr rifles ($160) for the model 56 and a 9mm Stoeger Cougar ($220) for the model 25M.
