1897 Lever

Post by palabra »

I am looking for a lever for a 1897 Marlin rifle. Can anyone tell me if all 1897 levers are the same? Any changes through the manufacturing time that would make the lever be different. Also, is the 1891 or 1892 lever identical to the 1897? The pics look close but I can't find a reference that says they are the same. Thanks, palabra

The 1891-92 levers are different, but they can be made to work. I have a used lever for a straight grip 1897 if you want to contact me off site.-Vall
