| Someone better grab that one at the 'buy now" before it's gone. Looks like a nice one! |

That really does loook like a good deal. Nick has taught me not to be in love with the latch forearm, but the 26" barrels more than offset that. Nice find for someone.

| wasn't the buy now price initially $425-see its $450 now. Emailed him about the #8 picture of the barrels looking like maybe lite freckling but he says just the pic. Also asked if he could verify chokes and he said no-had borrowed out his gauge |

26" barrels were typically choked IC/Mod, although the top barrel on a couple of my Model 90's with 26" barrels are closer to IMod. |

Any idea why Nick apparently likes the spring clip forearm better than the latch forearm? |

2 things come to mind, and maybe Nick will weigh in himself. First is weight. I think Nick told me ~4 oz for the deely latch. Also, a preference for early guns, the earlier the better and the latch came out maybe 51?

Out of curiosity I weighed the forearms on a few of my Model 90's. I think wood density accounts for some of the differences. Also, Marlin changed the shape of the forearm in 1954 that resulted in a lower weight.
Pre-WWII - 9.3 oz
D-serial no (1947) - 10.2 oz
F-serial no. (1949) - 10.8 oz
K-serial no. (1953) - 12.2 oz (lever forearm)
P-serial no. (1957) - 10.2 oz (DT-JC Higgins lever forearm)
P-serial no. (1957) - 10.5 oz (ST-lever forearm) |
