- Lot Description
Exceedingly rare Antique Large Frame Marlin Model 1895 20” short rifle in scarce .40-82 caliber. The Marlin 1895 was made in very limited numbers and was manufactured just about the time when large bore black powder cartridge rifles were being replaced with “small bore” smokeless powder cartridge rifles chambered in calibers like .30-30 Winchester,.25-35 Winchester or .303 Savage etc. As a result of this transition, very few Model 1895 Marlins were produced. This example was made for the largest .40 caliber cartridge available for a lever action rifle. The .40-82 was simply the big .45-90 2.4” case necked down to accept a .40 caliber bullet. It had a relatively flat trajectory and offered power enough for any big game especially west of the Mississippi River. Standard barrel length for this rifle was 26,” but Marlin would provide any barrel length on a custom basis. The 20” barrel made a fine saddle rifle and since very few 1895s were produced as carbines, this was a viable option for horse saddle scabbard use. This rifle with serial number 185369 qualifies as an antique and can be shipped without requiring an FFL or C&R license. It retains excellent blue on the barrel. The case colored receiver has naturally aged to an attractive and uncleaned mottled gray/brown. There is fine blue on the loading gate and some small amount of case colors on the upper portion of the lever as well as on the hammer. The stock and forearm are fine and show good wood to metal fit. All markings are sharp and clear including thre desirable “SPECIAL SMOKELESS STEEL” barrel stamping indicating that this rifle’s barrel was specially made of high grade steel for smokeless powder loaded ammunition featuring jacketed bullets. Further, this rare Marlin retains its original buckhorn rear sight with elevator bar intact as well as the correct and original Rocky Mountain blade front sight. All the screw heads are excellent and the action is tight with strong springs and solid safety half-cock on the hammer. The bore shows strong rifling all the way through indicating that this was a rifle that was well cared for. Due to its limited production, and one of the most difficult Marlin rifles to obtain, the Model 1895 is often the centerpiece of any Marlin or Old West collection. Serial Number: 185369. This firearm qualifies as an Antique, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
