I'm looking to, possibly, pick up a Marlin lever gun. The seller says it's manufacture date is 1898. It's in .38-55 and has double set triggers. I didn't measure but I want to say 20"(?) barrel. It looks to be in pretty good shape as far as bluing and wood. I wasn't able to check the action much, but was able to set the triggers and release it when set, and the regular trigger pull. I couldn't see the barrel because it had been sitting so long there was lint in it. Actually I wasn't even thinking of buying it at the time, it was pretty spendy. But I found a way to, maybe, depending on what I can learn about it, swing something. Can someone give me an idea of what model that early Marlin may have been? In a light search I didn't' find anything obvious. I'm thinking that set triggers was a special order. It's going to be awhile probably before I will be able speak to the seller so I'd like to do some research.
