Sorting thru some keepers and some that are going to auction and came across this little # Its a magazine fed Marlin Firearms Corp. with the last pat. date 1917. It is stamped 22 long rifle only smokeless and greased. Any comments on this one as far as rarity,worthlessness,keeper?????:confused:

Model number not on it?

Bolt action or pump?

No idea, but it sure sounds like an interesting old rifle.
If it's in good condition and the price is right, I'm sure it would be a good deal.

Old 22's are becoming very collectable due to their lower price.

Lots of people like myself would like to build a collection of old guns but just don't have 3-5K to plunk down on one gun. Most RF's can be had for $500 and under, some are more, but they are still somewhat reasonable even thought 15 years ago, people were almost giving them away. Times have changed.

It is a straight pull with a small round knobbed charging handle.:confused:
That really wasn't much help at all. ALL Marlin's have a Model Number stamped on the barrel. Look there for one.

BOLT ACTION?

Are you saying it's a bolt action with a charging handle that you pull back?

Does it look like this? My Marlin Model 100 single shot.
