Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Marlin 15YN, also known as the “Little Buckaroo,” is a youth-oriented bolt-action rifle designed for small-stature shooters. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, it was produced with a shorter barrel and overall length than standard Marlin 15 models, making it more manageable for younger or beginner marksmen. The rifle features a simple, reliable bolt-action mechanism, open sights, and a one-piece hardwood stock, emphasizing ease of use and safety for novice shooters while maintaining the performance and accuracy expected of Marlin rimfire rifles. Manufactured primarily during the mid-20th century, the 15YN was marketed as an ideal “first rifle” for children or new shooters, providing an accessible introduction to target shooting and small-game hunting. Its lightweight, compact design, coupled with dependable construction, has made the Little Buckaroo a collectible example for enthusiasts of classic youth firearms, particularly when found in well-maintained condition with original stock and metal finishes.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
