Featured in our restoration gallery today is a Marlin Model 1893 lever action repeater, originally shipped in 1906. Marlin’s 1893 was the precursor to their Model 36 and 336, and is identifiable by its square flush bolt. Based on the patents of L.L. Hepburn, the ’93 also incorporated a two-piece firing pin. The ‘93 differed from its Winchester contemporaries in that the Marlin was side-ejecting, which provided better protection from weather and debris than the competing top-ejecting Winchester.

randy bloomer –
I have been fortunate enough to be the proud owner of a few Turnbull guns. The work is remarkable and the attention to detail reflects the craftsmanship. Well done.
