I don't think the gun was ever used,still had the "Walnut" sticker on the forearm the bluing is barely rubbed off the top of the hammer,none of the screws look like they were ever fooled with, they are perfect,still has it's organelle round sight hood & sights and the "JM" hammer spur that Marlin use to ship with there guns.
Wood not drilled out for sling swivels.
Bore is perfect......basically the gun looks like it just came from the factory in 1968.
When I picked up the gun to look at it and turned the tag over to see the price I got a little dizzy....$295!
Couldn't resist....took it home with me.
