Beautiful Antique Marlin on GunBroker
There is a very nice custom order Marlin 1881 up for auction on GunBroker. I have nothing to do with this gun, but thought some members might enjoy looking at the ad. Or maybe (?) even placing a bid.

At 50Gs, the wood doesn't do it for me

Looks like an old gun to me.
Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.
History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

It would make a good truck gun if you shortened the barrel.

Lovely rifle, that one, although I'd like it better without engraving.

Re: Beautiful Antique Marlin on GunBroker
I agree with a couple of you; it's not the type of gun I would likely buy (assuming I had the money); but it's a pretty ol' thing. Course you could tear the lever and some other "side" parts off and use it for a short fence-post !!
But then--would it qualify to be mentioned on the levergun forum?

Personally I'd prefer a non-engraved, non-checkered stock, straight wrist butt though I do appreciated the tang peep sight.
