Ruger-era production from Mayodan, North Carolina, is signaled by the RM-prefix serial, and this example reflects that build with stainless construction throughout the receiver, barrel, and full-length tubular magazine. The action is the classic large-loop lever with a cross-bolt safety, right-side ejection port, and right-side loading gate, feeding a 6+1 capacity.
The 19 in stainless barrel is cold-hammer-forged and cut with a 1:20 twist. Its threaded muzzle uses the 11/16x24 pattern. The bore is mirror-bright with sharp rifling, matching the excellent overall condition.
On top, a full-length black Picatinny rail carries an aperture/ghost-ring rear sight. Up front, a green fiber-optic blade sits on a ramped base for a clear sight picture.
The gray/green laminated hardwood stock and matching forend include laser-cut checkering, sling swivel studs, and the Marlin bullseye inset. A factory laser-engraved Marlin horse-and-rider logo accents the grip belly. Length of pull measures 14.0 in.
Thoughtful additions on this rifle include the installed slip-on Limbsaver rubber recoil pad and a screw-on knurled hammer-spur extension, complementing the rifle’s stainless, rail-equipped SBL configuration.
