Its been hunted with, but still in a very good condition. 28" ventilated rib barrel with two brass bead sights. Modified barrel. 2 3/4" and 3". This is what they called a deluxe version of the standard model. Inspection before purchase is welcome. $450 includes shipping to your FFL in the lower 48 in states where it is legal. P.S....Fender is not included ! The data and opinions contained in these posts are the results of experiences with my equipment.

I got one 1971, smooth bore slug barrel and a 30 inch vent full choke barrel. Still have it , nice gun. I had a choice between this one and a cut checking trap model.

Reminds me of the Model 12 Winchester. It's a good-looking shotgun, all steel, and walnut, solid design, I'm surprised it hasn't sold yet. Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

I used to have the same exact configuration (28" fixed modifed, vent rib). It was my first gun purchase (1984) . Pointed great and patterned spot on for me. Wish I held on to it, but it was part of a swap for a Mauser 98 in 257 Roberts. The surprise side benefit of my Marlin 120 was how well it shot low-cost Winchester 1 oz foster slugs. Baseball-sized (or smaller) 5-shot groups at 50+ yards were the norm. The vent rib has twin beads ( front and middle) that made for easy and accurate aiming with slugs. Your Marlin 120 has a very nice stock. Good luck with your sale. Great shotgun here for sale, that brings back many good memories. "Behavior accepted is behavior repeated."
