Roy, Paint it !!!! grin all kidding aside the barrel and magazine tube look to have been shortened,non factory front sight, its one of the early 1893,1894 year rifles without the extra screw to keep the trigger plate from flexing. Marlin started to put the extra screw in around s/n 170,000. Its not really a collectable just a shooter. Don
