The Sharps is a beautiful rifle. Love my Pedersoli carbine

Simple elegance, man. And undisputed performance.

My goal is to hop into competition in the future. Eventually move to black powder 100% of the time. Can’t beat the traditional loads in this rifle. It’s literally what it was designed for and made its legacy off of.

Non traditional but interesting. Real question is how does it shoot?

Well, you work the lever to chamber a round, then you pull the trigger.

So here's a thought pinging around inside my pea brain today.

When it comes to lever guns, I've always been a traditionalist - walnut, blued steel, and color case hardening are what I like to see on lever guns, and to see a rail, black polymer and stainless is seems incongruous.

However, I used to think the same thing about pistols, particularly 1911s. My tastes on that have changed over the years though, and I think it just took time to grow on me.

Functionally, that rifle is right where it needs to be - we know that the 45-70 is an old, tried-and-true round, we know that the Marlin 1895 platform is rock solid, so adding a composite stock and rail fore end makes a lot of sense for a gun that's designed to be used in heavy brush.

Im somewhat of the same mind and the all weather configurations have grown on me. I would pick up a Taylor's takedown if they were not so expensive. Probably the most "modern" I have is a Marlin in grey/green laminate, looks and handles sweet. Guy I bought it off had a whole bunch of JM Marlins for sale. I only bought two I should have bought them all!

I remember, like almost 20 years ago a poster on the old SH was from Scandinavia. He had a suppressed 45-70, and it was the first time I'd seen one. I was in love with the idea of that since I saw it

Brentona, exactly what model is that? It looks gorgeous. I see its a Shiloh from the prior pics. Is it one of their 1874 or 1877 models?

Hey brother! How have you been??

That’s a good old Montana Roughrider! Pretty much what would have left the factory in 1874. 30” heavy octagon, double sets, standard wood and metal options.

I am a little perplexed by this one, I know JM Marlin's are hot but............$5500 for a 336 and increasing?

Dude I have been watching that. What the hell is going on. I saw a lot of “new” first time bidders in the ranks. Could be some sort of…fishy business

Wow!! May be time for me dig out a few of my Marlins and get some good pictures.

Congrats. I’ve been looking at different levers lately, I haven’t seen Henry in person yet I have heard some people complain that they’re heavy and they have to load them in a tubular fashion like a 22. I’m not sure why loading that way is a negative. Does the Weight and operation seem good?

Nice bunch of Marlins you have there.

I'm a bit perplexed by that one too. Does being "JM" proofed mean something from a collector's perspective?

I could see that for a pre-99 Winchester, but not a run-of-the-mill Marlin 336.

I have a JM marked one from 1986...I'll sell it for a third of what that one went for!

EDIT: found this on "JM"

https://www.tngunowners.com/forums/...in made,on a specific gun on the Marlin Forum.

trickg · Mar 7, 2022

That's interesting, and I guess I can understand the significance of it being a true Marlin, but I still don't understand a $10K price tag on a 1970s production Marlin lever gun, "JM" proofed or not.

Bisleyfan44 · Mar 7, 2022

There is no rationale for that 336 to be worth $10k. None. If I were the seller, I wouldn't be holding my breath for payment.

Trepang · Mar 7, 2022

I bought these two JM marked 1895s in .45-70 two years ago off Gun Broker.
The blued one was lightly used, The stainless one came from Alaska and it had never been fired. It came in the Marlin box with all the tags and stickers still attached.

Marlin Marlins - Not Remlins.

I paid way less than 1/5th what this 30-30 went for.

I don't get it......No way that gun is worth 1/5th that price (except to the guy who bought it)
