What is the low down on these?
I saw one today, about 60% wood 80 % steel condition.
What are they worth? When were they made?
Thanks in advance
1937-1958. Value depends on gage, caliber, configuration
They are pretty solid little shotguns. I really liked my 16ga 26".
Where can I find published info on these shotguns?
Is Brophys book on Marlin all there is?
Thanks.
Many were sold by Sears & Roebuck as "Ranger" shotguns. Marlin marked them "Model 90".
What gauge?
The Model 90 410 brings a good price!
So do the Model 90 410/22 and the other combinations.
20, 16, and 12 gauge are a little more affordable than the 410s.
They're neat guns, I like the 410s and combination guns!
I see people asking $900.00 for more common ones that should cost $600-$700 IMO.
They're not bad guns and handle well. I never owned one, but I had custody of a friends while he was over seas, shooting gooks. It was a DT 20ga. I tried to buy it from him, but it was no-go. I couldn't blame him for keeping it.
I have Marlin medium grade pump 12 Ga shotgun made for them by Manufrance Company in France. I shot it a lot on dove and clays until I bought my first Parker Repro double. It is now a loaner if needed.
