Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Marlin Model 1897—it was changed to the Model 97 in 1905—was produced from 1896 (or 1897, records are sketchy) until about 1915 when the factory retooled for the war effort. After World War I a few guns were assembled from parts, until 1922 when it was re-designated as the Model 39. Originally designed by L.L. Hepburn as the Model 1891 and 1892, the takedown improvement generated the new Model number. The Models 1891 and ’92 were available in .32 cal., as well, but the Model 97 was only chambered in .22 LR.
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.
