What’s Included

The JM stamp on the barrel confirms North Haven manufacture, a detail prized by many Marlin enthusiasts for its pre-Remington production quality. This example dates to 2007, placing it firmly in the final years of original Marlin operation.
Its 20-inch stainless barrel uses Marlin’s 12-groove Micro-Groove rifling and a 1:10" right-hand twist, promoting consistent accuracy with .30-30 loads while minimizing fouling buildup. The barrel, receiver, and lever all carry a matching matte stainless finish that shrugs off harsh weather.
The rifle retains traditional iron sights—a hooded brass-bead ramp front and an adjustable semi-buckhorn rear—for quick target acquisition. The side-eject receiver comes factory drilled and tapped, with plug screws installed, allowing straightforward scope mounting without modifying the gun.
A checkered walnut pistol-grip stock with a fluted comb provides solid purchase and classic appearance. Additional touches include sling-swivel studs and a rubber recoil pad that softens felt recoil. A cross-bolt hammer-block safety offers modern peace of mind without compromising the lever-action experience.
