Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Marlin Model 57M was introduced in the early 1960s as the .22 WMR counterpart to the well-known Marlin Model 57, offering the same sleek, lever-action operation in a rimfire magnum configuration. Produced from 1959 to 1969, the 57M utilized Marlin’s innovative “Levermatic” action, which employed a short-throw cam-and-roller system that delivered smooth cycling and exceptionally fast follow-up shots. This design, combined with Marlin’s reputation for accuracy-oriented rimfire rifles, positioned the 57M as a forward-thinking option for small-game hunters and varmint shooters seeking more power than the standard .22 LR could provide. Collectors and enthusiasts appreciate the Model 57M today for its combination of distinctive engineering and relatively limited production span, making it considerably less common than many other Marlin rimfires of the era. Its accuracy, light recoil, and rapid operation remain appealing traits, while features such as the tubular magazine, solid build quality, and classic 1960s styling add to its charm. As a result, the 57M stands out not only as a capable .22 Magnum lever-action rifle, but also as a noteworthy piece of Marlin’s experimental and innovative period that continues to attract interest from shooters and collectors alike.
