SOLD - Spur 1894CS Marlin- JM


Rootin Tootin

Recommended Posts

This is an early Spur rifle that I bought from the widow of a cowboy shooter that died 7 years ago. Great shape and fast. I shot it last week, but I prefer my 73's for the weight. 

Cal 38/357.  He used 38 spec at 1.45 length, and I ran my bullets with 1.44 length with no issues. It has 18 1/2-inch round barrel, with brass topped front site. Holds 10 rounds with no problem.  Shoots straight with a quarter size group at 25 yrds  $1200 shipped to your FFL.

Spur was a CAS star and gunsmith from Illinois who developed a way to short-stroke Marlin rifles, no easy task due to their design.   His work on the .38 cal. Marlins was the first of its kind, and they are highly prized guns.  As he retired, he passed on his knowledge to Cowboy Carty, who still does the "magic" on Marlins.  The procedure is very involved, and requires a very specific length cartridge, but makes for a very smooth, fast acting Marlin.
