The top of the barrel is fitted with a Marbles bead front sight, and a Marbles adjustable rear sight. It has the straight grip walnut stock and forend.
Condition: Good as period modified with 20% of a thinning blue finish on the shortened barrel and magazine tube with the receiver and loading lever having only traces of case colors in the very protected areas. The stock and forend are both in very good condition showing more scratches and handling marks on the forend with a slight crack starting at the front end with some sanding towards the rear in front of the receiver. The butt stock is a later Marlin replacement that doesn't fit the metal very well around the rear of the tang/receiver and it has a home made tang screw. Mechanically fine.
