Marlin 1893 Lever Action Rifle 32 HPS (32 WIN SPECIAL)

Beautiful action tight operation in 32 Hi-Power Special... the 32 H.P.S. (32 High
Power Special) was simply the 32 Winchester Special when used by competitors
who didn't want to put the Winchester name on their guns

Gun does appear to have been refinished (wood only)

Barrel is 22" long and 1/2 Octagon / round - Rear sight is missing elevator.

Steel has original finish and is about 40% bluing in place - excellant for its age -
Marlin are hard to pin point the manufacture date ..

During the latter part of the 19th century, Marlin was giving Winchester a run for its
money. Not only was Marlin first with a lever gun that could chamber the popular
.45-70 Govt cartridge (the Model 1881), but the Model 1889 introduced Marlin’s
side-ejecting, solid-topped receiver. The latter was stamped Marlin Safety
implying it was safer than Winchesters open, top-ejecting system.

This is a great collectible gun .. There is a RESERVE of only $1200 on this gun.
