Found this old Marlin Model 1893 in 30-30 Cal. 26 in. octagon barrel with original Rocky Mountain front blade sight..all matching numbers on wood,tang,and receiver.
It was born with case colored receiver but that's long worn away.
The barrel still has nice strong rifling.
Action is smooth as butter.
No rust or pits anywhere on the gun but the bluing is worn shinny in a few spots.
Actually the wood has some nice grain to it but I don't think I'll fool with this old timer much,I kinda like it the way it is.
It's just an old honest gun,
Took it to the range today and man it's still a shooter.
9 shots at 50 yards...I think I can do better it was 15 degrees out was kinda in a hurry

The old ones are a joy to have and shoot. Only way it could be better is if they could wisper the stories those sigh6ts have looked upon.

He wouldn't let me take any pictures and made me swear I wouldn't tell anyone where he lives,I don't blame him for that. But I could get you in..
