Marlin Model 1888

Post by shrapnel »

I just got a Model 1888 that I had seen in Dallas at a collectors show back in February. I finally got the guy convinced to ship it to me and I got it yesterday.

It is a nice gun with a decent bore and a 28 inch barrel. I shot it and it hits perfectly as the sights are set....

Yes very nice and rare gun to find. With the 28inch barrel is even rarer. Congratulations. Caliber looks like .38W.
