Made in 1979, so pre-safety, and pre- "Remlin", as they seem to be called over on the Marlin forums. My last Marlin was an 1895 in .38-55 made in the early 1900's, but that was almost 30 years ago. Haven't even had time to clean it yet, but already looking for a receiver sight.

I would have preferred a 16" gun, but this should do nicely.
You scored a nice one there. The pre-safety 1894c rifles aren't easy to find and tend to be pricey.
