Re: help on an 1893
A takedown means you can separate the barrel & mag tube from the
receiver & buttstock for ease of cleaning & transport( more compact
package). Among collectors this is considered a desireable feature
& will bring a premium. There is a ring that goes around the barrel.
If you pull out the end of the mag tube & open the action slightly &
tap on the end of the ring you can unscrew the barrel from the
receiver.
Most Marlin receivers came from the factory case hardened. This
was done for strength. Blued receivers were usually of less strength
& came in the grade "B" rifles & were stamped on the barrel "Black
Powder Only". They were of lesser quality & priced accordingly.
The case hardened recievers command more of a premium today in
the collectors market. The more brilliant & vivid the case colors
the more money they will bring.
