This 16 ga Marlin Model 90, F-serial number (1949) is at least 90% condition with only a few very tiny scratches on the 26 barrels and none on the frame. Bright shiny bores that measure .008 and .024 (IC/Imp.Mod.) with a Skeets Bore Gage.
Good wood with a few very shallow scuffs and handling marks. The Ranger Recoil Pad is likely not original since the LOP is 15-1/8 from the front trigger and 14-1/4 from the back trigger. However, based on the dimensions I dont think the stock has been cut. It weighs 6.6 lb. on my digital kitchen scale.
I bought it used from a friend 7 years ago. The gun appeared to have been shot very little, and I have only shot a couple of rounds of wobble clays with it. It is very tight with the top lever well to the right.
Asking $525 plus shipping to your FFL.
Call or text me if you have any questions at 757-532-0309.

Barkley,
Nice gun, not quite as nice as the one FN16GA showed on this site a few weeks ago, but very nice. And in a nice choke combination for hunting.
The main reason I write it that my 103 II had a similar recoil pad when I bought it in the late 70s. The honeycomb section was falling apart, dry rotted? I never measured the LOP, but in its original condition the gun was way too long for me, so it may have also been >15 inches to the front trigger. My cure for both of these issues was to use a razor blade to slice off the back portion of the pad, discard the honey comb and front red/orange portion of the pad, and glue the back portion to the black spacer. In doing so, I preserved the "Ranger" logo on the back of the pad and reduced the LOP about 3/4", making it just right for me.
Again, nice gun and at a decent price in my opinion. The buyer will be a lucky person IMO!

4Setters, great idea! What adhesive did you use to attach the resized recoil pad? |

I did just the opposite; I liked the old Redhead pad on my Parker Trojan but I needed more length and if I just put in a spacer the lines wouldn't be right. The rubber was a little oversize so I was able to make it work. I used a belt sander to get the original base plate off and cemented the rubber to a thicker base plate. I used Barge cement. |

Barkley,
Glue? Who knows, that was about 40 years ago. I can't remember what I had for breakfast this morning. Could have been anything from Elmers to J & B Weld epoxy! I suspect I used some type of epoxy; whatever i used, it has held up very well.
A pic of the pad shows the same info as your gun. It is a little buggered up, which mostly occurred prior to my ownership, but functional.
I measured the LOP this morning. With the "shaved-down" pad in place, the front trigger is right at 14 1/2" and the back is 13 1/2. So, the original length was around 15 inches or perhaps slightly more.
I bought my gun off a retired gentleman from IL. It came in a leg of mutton leather gun case. However, the leather was so dry rotted that it was falling apart. I used this case in "man cave" type displays for several years, but after multiple moves associated with youth, I sent it to the trash. Wish that leg of mutton case would have been in as good a shape at the 103 II in it!

Looks like a hot-blue refinish job, and also a wood re-finish. |

I don't think so. Hot Blue on a Model 90 Iron frame would have turned a plum color by now. |
