Marlin 57M 1963

[Salps]

I picked this up this weekend. Born in 1963. 24 inch barrel, bluing very nice, great looking wood and well made. Gun is heavier than what you would expect. 15 round capacity and lever only has to move about 2 inches to feed round. Very very accurate and feeds like butter.

No luck, I am doing something wrong I am sure.
Thats too bad, I have always liked that model.

Try it now and if someone can tell me if it works.
Thanks Scott

A few months back one of the senior shooters in Master Class at Hat Creek Rifle & Pistol Club in Burney, California used a Marlin 57M equipped with a receiver sight to shoot a perfect 60/60 score in a Cowboy Lever Action Pistol Cartridge match. Last month he shot a 57/60, missing only three turkeys.

I'd say they shoot pretty good!

I have the 22LR version with a peep sight and it shoots goods , but they are heavy.

i recently got one from a member here, and it is absolutely fabulous. amazingly slick, fast, smooth, and like he told me......shoots like a laser!
beautiful fit and finish too.
one of my happiest recent acquisitions!

You have a very nice 3rd variation 57M. Notice how the forearm tip is slant cut and not rounded. This was not seen until 1966. You may want to check the serial number "letters". This version was only seen from 1966 until the end of production in 1969.....nice buy.

Yea, I was told by original owner it was born in "63" but I didn't know for a fact it was. Thanks for the info...
