I bought an old Marlin lever-action in 30-30 a few years ago and it doesn't seem to match that table. Jfwlb wrote:I have a question regarding this table. You see completed rounds for the 32 Long Colt or 32 Short Colt look just like 22 rimfire ammo but of course a tad larger meaning the bullet sits in the case the same way. That thing was a hoot to shoot once I finally coralled dies, 32 Long Colt brass and a Lyman 90 grain heel mold to cast bullets for the thing. The little Model 92 32 cal Marlin I had was THE FIRST pre 1920 Marlin I ever owned. They also made the 32 cal in the Model 1891 which obviousely came out before the model 1892, however they did seem to make them in several overlapping years. I had a pair of 32's in a Model 1892 and a later Model 92 with firing pins for both rim and centerfire. It's how you take the sideplate off to change the firing pin to go from rimfire to centerfire or vice versa. The one thats a Model 1892 in 32 cal with the "take down knob" as you call it isn't a take down knob. Both have the take-down knob on the right side of the receiver which I associate with the Mdl 39, but I believe that they are chambered in. One is a Marlin 1892, and the other does not have any model designation. Jfwlb wrote:I also have a couple of older Marlins that I need to get working again. I really like the "vintage" way it looks, but would like it much better if I could get it to make some noise.Īnd yes, I know that pictures are pretty much required:(even if they are lousy and too dark)
It has a 20" round barrel and a half-magazine.
I believe that the firing pin is broken because it has no problems feeding and ejecting, just no "Boom" when I pull the trigger, and no marks on the primer.
Any idea which date is correct?Īnd for those interested, it appears to be in pretty good condition, although it will not fire. According to the table, that makes it manufactured in 1945. Under the lever is stamped the serial number, which is four digits and the letter"C". According to the table above, the model 93 stopped production in 1934. The barrel, along with the address line, has "Special Smokeless Steel" on it. It is labeled "Marlin Safety" on the top of the receiver, and "Model 93" on the upper tang.
