Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and didn't notice a picture thread in the Marlin area. I thought maybe we could start one if you guys have any pics.
nice
very old 81 dl with a peep site.
old marlin 75c, cut , chopped, painted black.
a very special marlin mod 60, with a nice piece of birchwood, and a fully
adjustable rear site. Regrettably, I am selling it.
Ive actually got some others, in 17hmr, and mach2, but don't really have good pics of those.
one of them is on Gun Broker to fund smallbore stuffSlingshot455,
2 Model 47's!!:bthumb: You win bragging rights!
If you will allow me to give some history, to those that may not know how rare those are............
Marlin had a stock offering in 1931. Buy 4 shares for $100 and you could choose a free firearm, as a bonus, from a group of 4 that included the 47. The Model 47 was never a cataloged rifle. It was made special for this stock offering. The "tiger stripe" case coloring was not the traditional Marlin method, but was dipped up and down into liquid cyanide. This was also the only pump that Marlin made that had a checkered stock and forearm.
I bid on a 98% specimen several months ago, but dropped out when it went past $750.
