I bought a Marlin that had seen rust and someone had taken steel wool to the barrel and mag tube. The stack at the tang was cracked and the rear sight was bent and tilted. I had seen in the gun shop a few times, but never bought it, until one day it was marked to....$125.00. I bought it. I did the repairs, bluing work, and installed a new rear sight on it. I have other Marlins (all real Marlins), but this one is special.
