Thanks! It seems to be, I shot it a few years back and and had a ejecting issue cost me 7 bucks to fix it from the gunsmith. I took it to H&H and was talking to Thomas about it a few years ago as well and he was more impressed with the condition of the sling, cause its in such good shape for sitting around for 25+ years.
Nice rifle!!! I like the older Marlin autos much better than the new ones. They all shoot good but I like the craftsmanship better on the vintage ones.
Yours is in great condition! I inherited a Stevens 87A .22 that had been sitting in my grandmas basement for AT LEAST 20 years barrel was covered in surface rust. Got it cleaned up and it makes for a nice plinker! May eventually have the barrel redone to touch it up some more but might just leave it.
That's a great gun! That model was the 2nd gun I ever shot when I was a kid. My uncle still has it too. I have a Model 60 that was my 1st gun. Marlins are great!
Yep, brings back alot of memories! Nice gun. Mine looked just like it the last time I saw it. A canoeing accident put her in the White river over thirty years ago. Along with a Stevens bolt action 20 ga. shotty. I knew I should have tied them in.
