Mike D, thanks for using the proper terminology... and you're right, they don't make any noise unless you shake the gun like a baby rattle

Years ago, before all the fancy stuff came out, lanolin was the cat's meow for case lube. Wonder if you can still get it in the drug store? (Come to think of it, ARE there any drug stores nowadays?)

It may be a 6.5mm X .257 Roberts conversion. This was the most popular "fix" back then. (I had one rechambered back in the mid-50's. Quick and easy - and effective.) Or 6.5-06 like the one I tried to haggle on recently. Get a chamber cast done to be absolutely sure of the chambering. Cham...

thanks to all. you guys know the details quite well. these originals were made by marlin for savage. and he did still have hopes of selling to the military hence the later 1899 muskets. at the same time that winchester's 1895 came out and was also sold in musket form marlin factory must have been a...

Peter, Thank you for all the information about these rifles. I have a question. (I've only seen one - nearly fifty years ago - in the collection of an old fellow in Waterbury, Connecticut, and I didn't get a chance to handle it.) Does the bolt cock the hammer, or is there a link to the lever? Looki...

airedaleman

Great find, and a fine example of an 1895. I've never seen one in sixty years of messing with guns. Understand that they were made for Arthur Savage by Marlin. Does 5,000 guns ring a bell?

I liked the ending too - strongly reminiscent of the ending of Alan Ladd's "Shane". (Brandon DeWilde crying: "Shane ! Shane ! Come back !" ) Clint DOES has a sense of what's "just right". . The entire film is a very poor "Shane" knock-off. Saw it once on cabl...

A police response to a 911 call "unwanted attention?" In my department, ALL 911 calls were responded to - genuine emergencies, hang-ups, misdials - mattered not. We responded and interacted with the caller. Findings noted in station log, with arrest or incident reports as required. Just an...

Looks like the forearm came from a Model 93 Marlin stock purchase premium .410; as Griff noted, a reproduction Winchester 94 or 64 forearm should be able to be fitted to your rifle. Is the forearm cap original?

Good luck with your find.

A pistol grip trigger plate can be altered to a straight grip as long as it doesn't carry the serial number.

The 1895 and 336 stocks share the same inletting.

Wonderful wood! Anxious to see it on the rifle. I had one in .35 Remington with a Weaver K4 on it, and it was remarkably accurate. One-inch three-shot groups with factory ammunition were not uncommon. Interesting rifle based on the .410 version of the Model 77 shotgun. Have read at the Savage Collec...

Great little rifle. Enjoy! Does it have a true over the heel carbine buttplate, or is it the so-called "S" type? Some Marlin people are trying to build a data base on Model 94's. Any further info you can add regarding barrel markings, tang markings (including the star - or lack thereof), s...

Thanks airedaleman !!! Always learning here !! The ser # indicates it was only half way thru the first 1k made with the 1936 designation and it was basicly a model 1893 or a 93 with a new fancy modern name .

I have a model 1936 in 30-30. I was just wondering what the stamp on the barrel of your rifle says, Mine says model 36 rc. A pic would be nice if possible.

Have owned a number of Ithacas, all earlier guns with 2-3/4" chambers. Have a chance to buy a 3" chambered gun at a really good price. Questions is: Will the 3" gun cycle 2-3/4" shells?

Thanks for your assistance!
