Rootin Tootin Posted November 1, 2022 Posted November 1, 2022 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.

Count Sandor, SASS #74075 Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 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. CS
Marlin Buckhorn,SASS 51727 Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 What the Count said plus 100. Couldn't ask for a finer shooter or gunsmith. He choose the finest person and shooter to pass his knowledge on to as well!
