azhuntnut Report post Posted November 16, 2010 I bought 3 lever action rifles a while back in order to get the one I really wanted. I don't think I will be shootin these in the near future. Both rifles have not been shot in over 25 years and stored correctly. The first one is a Marlin 1895 chambered in 45/70 govt. It was built in 1971 and released in 72. It has a first year built B Zero serial number and is only a four digit number. One of the special items about this gun is that it has the "Ballard" rifling and a Douglas barrel. The rifling is much better for guys who like to reload with the cast bullets. They only used these barrels on a limited amount of guns in the first year. I would rate this gun at 98%, and I am not for sure if it has even been shot. $700.00 I don't think there is anything I want to trade for at this time. The next gun is a Marlin 1894 Saddlering chambered in .44 magnum. This saddlering gun was only built between 69-72. The serial number shows it to be built in 1972. Again this rifle has not been fired in over 25 years and stored the same way. The is micro-grooved and has very few rounds down the tube. Very nice gun that is close to 98%. $600.00 David Here is the gun I had to have. I got it for my boys and I think they are going to have a blast with it. The action is the smoothest I have ever felt on a lever action. It is an Ithaca model 72 Saddlegun .22lr with the original box. It has been fired, but very little. These are a little rare and the first I have seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
