Home Forums Lever Action Central Marlin Talk Recent acquisition - M1893 special order carbine

Here's one I picked up a couple months back. It has special order shotgun butt, half magazine, swivel eyes and the very rare Hepburn receiver sight. It's a .32 special and a sweet gun to handle.

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. I'm not much for the carbines, but that's a fine looking piece of history. What's the date of manufacture?

You sure that's not a special order short rifle?
That's what it looks like to me.
If it was a Carbine the rear sight would be closer to the receiver.
