Rimfire and lever-actions fans shed a tear when, in 2007, Marlin ceased production of what arguably is among the greatest .22 rifles ever produced. (Technically the company does still make the 39A, however, it’s a custom order.) Billed as the oldest continuously manufactured rifle in the world, more than one shooter cut their teeth on the trusty, q...
Arguably, the Levermatics are a bit obscure at this point. But as those who’ve been behind the trigger of one can attest, they’re something special. Maybe one of the most underrated brush guns to come down the pike. What makes the family (56, 57, 57M and 62) so dandy—aside from a removable box magazine—is a frighteningly short lever throw. The leve...
A deer slayer through and through, this Marlin lever-action has a veritable mountain of venison to its name. Though, its time as a hunting season favorite came somewhat further down the line than some other lever guns. While the Winchester 94 could make this claim well before the Marlin 336 (and its predecessor the 36), it did falter somewhat as th...

Without the pair’s pioneering work developing a hot-rodded .38 Special cartridge—now known as the .357 Magnum—the famous Marlin lever-action rifle might have been a footnote in history.

Undisputed muscle in the field, when most shooters think big-bore lever-guns they think the monstrous 1895. It’s been that way for more than 100 years, though the behemoth has had a tough slog generating true interest until recent times. When it first hit the scene, bolt-actions and high-velocity cartridges were all the rage; then, when it reappear...
Sure enough, this Marlin lever-action rifle is tougher to find than the rest. And it might not be the first thing you’d strip off the rack come hunting season. But if you enjoy historic firearms, then the 1889 is worth the hunt. A watershed rifle, the gun pretty much set the tone for the Marlin rifle as we know it today. The company’s first solid-t...
First off, the Model 1893 will run you a pretty penny, unless you find an absolute rag of a specimen. However, if truly iconic rifles are your thing, this Marlin lever-action is a must-have. It was the belle of the company's catalog from the turn of the century until the advent of the 336 action. Initially, the 1893 was a black powder rifle, but ea...
Over the next few decades, many black-powder factory rounds were converted to smokeless, including the .32-40. Apparently, Winchester produced the first smokeless ammunition, after chambering its popular Model 1894 in .32-40, with a 165-grain jacketed softnose at a listed 1,752 fps, increasing bullet energy and flattening trajectory considerably.

Sep 23, 2010 · While centerfire rifles were certainly the staples of the company's business, John Marlin also recognized the need for rimfire repeaters. Anticipating the famed Model 39, which would appear few decades later, the firm came out with a .22 and .30 Model 1891 lever gun, which the firm manufactured for six years, turning out almost 19,000 of the rifles in several variations.
