lever action guys, come on in.

Not sure “why” there is a resurgence or if the perceived interest in them has ever dropped. But they are kind of cool. Like a single action revolver that makes one grin when that hammer is thumbed back, the lever gun is much the same type of grin when that lever is worked.

When my fractured left arm heals, I need to get to the range with my lever guns … a Winchester 94 Trapper in 44 magnum (with a Williams peep sight) and my Marlin GSBL (which has since been outfitted with a Skinner rear sight and Wild West Trigger). They do make me smile.

Nice rifles and I LOVE the chair.

I just wanted to see if that would post.
When Remington bought marlin the serial number deal changed so sometime after 2007 is when that rifle was made so the serial number 100-(minus) first 2 digits does not work for your rifle which is how you usually date many Marlin made rifles.

Remington made marlin dating is here if you are lucky and find the barrel stamp marks.

Thanks. My wife is a designer and she will take chairs with “good bones” and deconstruct them. This was a wingback that she rebuilt.
